    Documenting my Google Ads journey

    EXECUTION 
    I use a tool called Eleventy (unfortunatley not Wordpress.) How long should a new landing page take to create? I get one made in about 30 minutes. Most of the time is spent sourcing different images and writing unique headlines.

    Documenting my Google Ads journey

    EXECUTION 
    Very good point. I'm afraid I don't have a good answer. Was a busy day, so sat down at 9pm and tried my best to get 6 ads running before 10pm. So at 9, I built 2 new landing pages for 2 extra services (the site was 1 page a week ago). Then at 10pm I tried launching the new ads but got a bit...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you. I've put one ad up for £2/day. By next week, I hope to get 5 more up. Bloody hell does Google make it hard to opt out of thier "search network". And they give you a dozen warnings to not do manual bidding!

    Documenting my Google Ads journey

    EXECUTION 
    Launched the first Ad today. Currently under review. It wasn't perfect by any means but it's out there. Previous me would have deliberated for 10 days. Now a days, I've got more of a "throw **** on the wall and see what sticks" approach.

    Can I see your course? I have a friend who wants to learn video game programming.

    Documenting my Google Ads journey

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you Andy. All the keywords I've looked at have an estimated high bid price of £6 - £10. I'm guessing I'll have to set the daily budget a lot higher to get any useful data?

    Documenting my Google Ads journey

    EXECUTION 
    I got my first (and only) Google Ads client recently. Thier campaigns should be running sometime this week. I'm actually terrified. Last time I did Google Ads, it was for a friend in the states and I accidently spent $600 over budget. In this thread, I want to document how I'm learning ads...

    Anger when ex-naysayers ask for advice

    Genuine thanks to everyone who replied. I appreciate all the differing views on this matter. The thing that struck a chord with me most is that holding a grudge is like drinking poison. Ultimatley, what would give me the most inner peace is to not care. And I'd like to be the kind of person that...

    Anger when ex-naysayers ask for advice

    When I started my journey back in March, some of my peers put me down. They said I wasn't good enough to do sales and that I couldn't make money selling sites. It felt very personal. One of them said "Sales isn't for you mate, find something else." Ouch. Since then, I've had a few paying...

    Well done on the new site. I use Github to backup my code. Yes, all my client's sites are hosted on there. Just to be clear - Netlify is a paid solution with a generous free teir. They give you 100 GB of bandwidth before you need to upgrade to a pro plan. Doubt you'll ever need to until you...

    To add to this - don't focus on making money early on. Move mountains for your first clients to figure out what their pain points are. When you get a few results under your belt then you can start making some serious bux (fingers crossed)

    You're not selling websites, you're selling traffic.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Getting them on page 1 of Google search. It's pretty basic and easy to do for most local businesses and people get excited when thier phone starts to ring or they get enquiries through their site. Yea, I agree. The product (or service) needs to be good. And you can have a great product...

    You're not selling websites, you're selling traffic.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I told my friend that a website needs to: A) exist B) get traffic. Beautiful web design is not nearly as important as those two points. His reply, "You're right. Anyone can make a good looking site. The barrier to entry is low." While he agreed with me, I think he missed my point. A good...
