My advice is to not start this if you have limited funds and don't understand how it works very well. This is very much a for profit business for the owners of the search engines and as such they will have a lot of ways to trip you up if you're not savvy to the way it works. So make sure you know what you're doing before you get started. I tried it once when I was a newbie and ended up owing a lot of money I couldn't afford to invest and lost my virtual shirt in the deal.

One of the best

You can get started free with many programs when it's your first time such as AdWords and Bing Ads. When you first join you'll get a coupon code, or look for ads that offer a free coupon code for first time clients.

PPC can be a wonderful approach to advertising, but you'll have to do your homework well and figure out how best you can promote your business or product.

Advantages:
1) Increased Traffic: Depending on how much you pay, your ad or page can be shown to thousands of people.

2) Stability: Your ads or pages will invariably stay as long as you keep paying and will receive hundreds of clicks.

Disadvantages:
1) It is very expensive: The system can drain you financially.

The most important thing you should know about this type of advertising is that you have to consider a budget and be careful not to spend over that. You could pay out so much that you would be impoverished if you are not careful and it is risky because some of these may not work. To be honest, I would rather work with advertising co-ops I know are working and put in my funds with others to join what I know works, such as the S-Builder co-op. There are other ones that affiliates have that do work,

Pay To Click seemed to cost more than I was getting out of it, but that was only my case.
I do have an idea that my work better as you can advertise at what ever level you want.

For example PPC cost me $68.00 in two weeks and my income from that was only $26.00!
There is a place called "State Of The Art Mailer" ( SOTAM) that you can earn credits or
the best way I found there was to pay $79.00 per month to be at the "Viralist level" which allows you

For a successful Pay Per Click, first you need to find a profitable niche.

Start by researching your market to discover which keywords are getting the most traffic.

Secondly find out the competitions you will have over such keywords. The popularity of a keyword means more traffic and of course more profit. However popularity may also mean high competition which has a direct impact on the bid prices. Find out the top bid prices for such keywords, your profit margin depends on

First thing you need to know is that your budget must be geared towards keeping you advertising for weeks and not days for good results. Secondly look at site statistics for instance how many members a site has and daily rate of new members to determine which site to advertise with. Lastly prepare yourself for the risk of losing some bucks because there will be clickers who will not be caught by your bait. All the best.

You need to follow someone who have tried and tested the sites, thus having proof that the sites work, as there are many sites that are a waste of time and money.

I have done a lot of trying and testing, I have been caught out by many sites, but that experience has led me to finding some great ones. Please see http://mjwp.biz/earn-money.php for everything that is working for me.


I recommend signing up for the improved membership (e.g Premium on ClixSense cost $17 or Golden
