Five Steps to Profit from Google Adwords

Although I was marketing online since 1997 and was making

money on the Internet, as soon as I discovered the famous

GoogleCash ebook I was instantly hooked. It seemed so easy

to profit from Google Adwords: just join an affiliate

program, promote it on Google Adwords pay per click (ppc)

search engine starting from only five dollars, and watch

your profits soar...

However, soon I realized that it was not that simple. You

must know how to select profitable affiliate programs, how

to research keywords and group them in ad groups, how to

bid and manage your campaigns, how to track your keywords

and ads, etc.

The subject was very interesting for me and I just kept

reading a great deal of information related to making

income with Google Adwords: ebooks, guides, tutorials and

e-mail courses.

After trying to implement the knowledge gained in

practice, after long trial and error months, I was finally

making profit and not losing my money.

Here are five little-known steps that you should take in

order to profit from Goolge Adwords:

1. Target profitable two-tier or residual income niche markets.

2. Use effective tools and software for your Google Adwords keyword research.

3. Get a domain name, a hosting account, and create a simple landing page with an opt-in form.

4. Promote your landing page with Google Adwords and capture your visitors' e-mail addresses.

5. Follow up with your subscribers and profit by pre-selling your niche products or services.

Let's quickly analyze each of the steps outlined above and

see why you should stick to the plan if you want to

maximize your income from Google Adwords.

Promote Profitable Niche Two Tier Or Residual Income

Products And Services

First, the products or services that you will promote with

Google Adwords should target a niche where people have lots

of money and are willing to spend it.

Second, you can make much more money if you advertise

two-tier or residual income products or services.

Usually, majority of Google Adwords books teach you to

choose an affiliate program from publisher networks like

ClickBank, Commission Junction, LinkShare, etc. But these

are the programs that everybody use. So, try to do a

research on two-tier or residual income programs in your

target niche, and you may be surprised with the results...

Two-tier programs reward you for signing up affiliates.

This way you earn commissions not only on your sales, you

earn commissions on their sales too.

A good example of residual income programs are web hosting

affiliate programs where you can profit from your sales

lifelong!

Use Effective Tools for Your Google Adwords Keyword Research

First, did you know that you can spy on your competitors

keywords by using an amazing tool called GoogSpy:

Simply, enter a domain name of your direct competitors and

see what keywords they are bidding on. This little-known

secret could make your online profits soar instantly.

Second, as you probably know, the competition among

advertisers in ppc marketing is fierce. That's why you

should avoid using only free keyword research tools like

Overture's Keyword Selector:

You will miss lots of profitable keywords if you do so. To

succeed with ppc the only tool that works is WordTracker:

You should take at least a one day's subscription when you

are ready for your keyword research.

Get a Domain name, a Hosting Account, and Create a Simple

Landing Page

If you don't have your own web site for your niche product

or service that you advertise with ppc search engines, you

are leaving money on the table. Here's why...

Capture Your Google Adwords Visitors' E-mail Addresses

Yes, you can promote affiliate links directly with Google

Adwords. However, this way you will lose lots of prospects

that could be contacted later.

Picture this...

When you promote an affiliate link you drive traffic

directly to your affiliate web site. If a visitor doesn't

purchase the product or service immediately, the chances

are he or she will never purchase from your affiliate link

again.

Of course, top affiliate programs place cookies on their

web site visitors' browsers. This way you get paid even if

your referral returns to your affiliate web site later.

That's why it is important to select the best affiliate

programs from the beginning.

If you can achieve 1% visitor to sales conversion ratio

(it means 1 sale from 100 visitors) with Google Adwords -

you have a winner!

Imagine... What if you could set up a simple opt-in form

on your landing page and write a great copy encouraging

your visitors to subscribe to your newsletter or an e-mail

course? You would enjoy not 1% but 20 - 30% visitor to

subscriber conversion ratio when driving targeted traffic

to your web site with Google Adwords!

You see, when you capture email addresses, you build a

list. And, as they say - money is in the list!

Follow Up With Your Subscribers and Pre-Sell Your Products

and Services

This step is where you make real profit. Simply, create

quality targeted content in your newsletter or ecourse and

follow up with your prospects using autoresponders.

It is said that online products and services are sold

after 7 - 9 follow up messages. Besides, you can contact

your subscribers anytime later as new quality products hit

your targeted niche market.

This simple surefire action plan should help you boost

your homebased Google Adwords business profit instantly. As

you can see, without a web site you cannot profit as much

as you could by simply creating a one-page website.
