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.

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.

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.
