Introduction

I made this small ebook because some of my friends and collegues
where interested in trying online marketing. I have started a little
over a year ago, and therefore look to me for a some advice on how

to get started. I’m not a writer or marketing guru, just a IT software
developer (a very good one btw) looking for a better way of

ear money then

my normal boring day job.

Since these tools all cost money I would ad

vise you to do some more

research before buying the tools your are interested in.

And start slow, don’t

go out and buy all the tools mentions before you start making money.

Also be patient and realistic

. Systems like AdWords will “usually” not make

you enough money to buy a new wife and move to Hawaii. Don’t get me
wrong, you can make a shit load of money doing online marketing. But you
are not the only one doing

it; it’s a very competitive market. That’s also

what makes it fun.

Keep a

watchful eye one your expenses. Google, ClickBank and

Commission-Junction allows you to maintain a good level of control,
but it’s your money and your

responsibility

Morality is important. Not only for your ability to sleep

at night, but also

because the larger companies will go to great lengths to uphold a there image
on the

chaotic internet. In fact you will find that Google does not allow you to

use certain word in your campaign.

My Recommendations

If you find yourself wanting to buy some of the tools or books
mentioned in this ebook. Please do so by clicking the links in this
ebook. The price is the same, no matter if you click my links or go
directly to the merchant’s site. However I will get a small
commission for each sale coming from this ebook.

If you don’t like reading e-books on your PC, then you can always
just print them out (although they usually 200+ pages) or do what I
do. I read a lot of technical book in my profession as a software
developer, so I bough one of those 19” flat screen (LCD) monitors
that can be rotate into portrait view (+90 degrees). It makes it
much more comfortable to read e-books.

Here we go.

About the author

After words

Rosalind primarily focuses on making money by driving traffic to
your own well designed websites. The next book we will look at
takes a different approach, It focuses on the new easy usable
Google AdWords advertising system.

Both are valid, and can be used side-by-side to gain greater
success.

This is the second book I bought. And it really made a difference in the way I
looked at

AdWords marketing. I know the site looks like something a used-car

or vacuum salesman would make, but the ebook is solid and professional. I
recommend it as a great way to get started with adwords.

The book is written by Chris Carpenter. And he claims to have made over
$33,000 a month on adwords. Anyway

s, the selling point of this book should

be that it will give

you at good understanding of how adwords funtion, and

how to get started.

This book is like a beginners manual for adwords.

AdWords

are those little ads that are show on the right-

hand-side of your browser when searching for stuff on Google. They
can be one of the most effective ways to advertise on the internet
due to the enormous
success of the Google search engine.

AdWords are easy to make and control. But you are not likely to
make much money off them, unless you follow some basic rules.
You can learn these rules from the

google cash

ebook.
