So, how are you supposed to make money with Google Adwords? The point is to choose a product or service to refer people to that, on average, pays out more per click than you have to spend per click. For example, an affiliate network might offer a $1.00 reward for every referral you get to sign up with a paid survey company. Let’s say that on average the link is generating $0.10 per click. That means that if you set your maximum bid per click to $0.05 you’ll be making an average of $0.05 per click! That’s amazing. However, it’s not that easy or everyone would be doing it.

The main trick to advertising with Google Adwords and turning a profit is to choose keywords that hint that a person already knows that they want something and they are just looking for a link to get there.

For example, say you’re advertising an energy drink called Blue Bull. You shouldn’t just bid on the keyword “Blue Bull.” This will get you traffic that consists of people just wondering what it is, what it looks like, and more nonsense. However, bidding on the keyword “where can I buy Blue Bull” will most likely generate traffic consisting of people who already know what the product is and are just looking for a place to buy it. Unfortunately these keywords usually have a fairly high minimum bid and will therefore cut your earnings down.

So, what’s the trick to making money with Google Adwords? Here’s a few tricks I’ve learned.

• First, you need to sign up with an affiliate network. MaxBounty is a highly recommended affiliate network. They have the highest pay outs and excellent customer service.
• Once you’re signed up with an affiliate network, do some research and find out which programs have the highest EPC (earnings per click), and make sure to look for programs that you think are underrated or have great potential.
• Research effective keywords using Google’s Keyword Research Tool. Look for keywords with little competition.
• If you’re selling a product look for keywords such as “where to buy -the product-.”
• Find keywords that have a low minimum bid and little competition as well. This will take some time but it will pay off greatly in the end.

Marketing with Google Adwords is tricky and can either end in a loss of money or a large gain. Try small campaigns at first. Some will fail, but a few will succeed. It will take some time but you will learn what works and you will profit.
