8 Secrets that the Internet Gurus Usually Won't Leak Out...

By Trisha Frauenhofer

I was shocked when I first saw the free preview video on how to make a lot of money with Google Adwords. I had no idea that I was doing it all wrong from the get go. As some of may know, Google can be a great way to make a lot of money fast but you better know what you're doing.

So many people are selling all kinds of programs costing a lot of money that show you the basics and always seem to leave something out. For instance, when you sign up for a Google Adwords account and go to set up your first campaign, Google wants you to set it up their way in their search network. This can work great but there is a much better way.

A huge problem that 99% of people placing ads on the internet today is how to get theirs to stand out among the thousands of others. 1 great trick that I discovered is that you can get your titles to stand out by using the copyright symbol after your ad. This is fine with Google and is quite appropriate for certain types of ads.

Another common mistake that people make when setting up Adwords is that they don't specialize their demographics. If you're selling ring tones, you probably will not sell too many to seniors or anyone over 25 for that matter. Adwords can be set up to target exactly who your market is which is a huge cost saving for you.

When building your Adwords Ad your URL needs to stand out. One great way to do that is by using dashes. For example, thisisabadexample of a URL. This-is-a-good-example of a Website name. Usually dashes are not very attractive but in this case, it really can make your ad stand apart.

A common mistake of newbie affiliate marketers is not knowing the answers to the 3 most important questions: Who, what, where, and how to market. This is a crucial step in your success that the gurus usually keep to themselves. However once in a while someone is giving away this data for free or pennies on the dollar. I recommend highly searching this out.

One downfall of making money online is how to get paid. Many of us have been mislead and ripped off by online payment companies and merchant accounts. This is a risk of doing business. One very solid service that Ive never had a problem with is Clickbank. They pay monthly and on time. You can easily track your sales online to the penny.

Do you have any idea how many products and services are being sold on the internet today. I can't even count that high. When you start out on your internet marketing career, what product or service that you sell is very critical to your success. Some affiliate programs are really bad and don't pay zip. Some pay a lot but don't convert to sales. You really need a service that knows the ins and outs of what is worth marketing. Without it, I'm afraid that you'll be like most of the Internet marketing sad stories that you usually never hear about. - 16069
