How Do I Make Money Online With Pay Per Click (PPC)?

Hi new blogging friend! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the AsktheBlogger RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Question: I know people make a lot of money online doing pay per click (ppc) with Google, but how do I get started? Is there a place I can learn about how to do ppc?

Right, there is a big learning curve to doing professional pay per click. To do it small is easy, just go in to Google Adwords and start creating a few ads and start bidding on key phrases. However… to do it right, and to do it big time, to earn the big bucks and get the more reward, you have to be educated about how to do it right.

Now you can go all over the Internet and find a ton of free resources about how to become a pay per click zen master. It’s all there for free, if you want to read for the next year or so. :) The problem has always been that there was no place for anyone to go to learn how to do it effectively. Until now.

Check out a new program called PPC Classroom, run by two successful online marketers (and personal friends of mine) named Anik and Jeremy. Jeremy has made over a million bucks using pay per click methods. I’m not kidding you, I’ve met with the guy and hung out with him in person. He is the real deal, and a heckuva nice person.

There is a very important video I want you to watch. Anik has put together a video where he shows you some GREAT techniques on how to use “pay per click” to make money very quickly with affiliate marketing. It’s worth watching, I assure you.

How Do I Create A Sitemap?

Question: Is there a software (or a site) which can create a sitemap for my blog? I would prefer a site which is free, so i will not have to install any software (and or pay for it).

Sitemaps are good for your blog, but you probably already know that since you asked. :) Google LOVES sitemaps, in fact, if you haven’t already, head on over to Google webmaster tools and add your blog. They will ask you to submit a sitemap, and they give instructions on how to make one.

But back to the question. Are there tools to use to make a sitemap? Yes. Personally I have used a tool called Pingoat.com. It reads your site and creates an updated sitemap for you. Easy as pie, try it out. And yes, it’s free!
