Get Google Ads Free - Is it Possible?

It seems like every week a newbie marketer asks about "Get Google Ads Free" on the Wealthy Affiliate forum.

This doesn't surprise me at all because "Get Google Ads Free" is the type of misleading crap that seems too good to be true. And it is!

There is no such thing as getting free advertising from Google. There are ways to get free advertising credit applied when you start an adwords account but thats as free as it gets. You still have to pay for the service.

There are also ways to reduce your adspend but free Google ads? No such thing.

How it works in a nutshell

Before it was released in the middle of last year, I had actually known about the model used in "Get Google Ads Free".

Free is far from what it is. Initially, you will need to spend a whole lot of money...more than likely a whole lot more than you actually have if you're just starting out online. The reason for this is so that you can gather stats to persuade advertisers to pay for space on your landing page.

The next step is to use the money from the advertisers to buy PPC advertising so you're not technically using your own money. Does this make it free?

In addition to leaking away your traffic, you're building someone elses business and brand awareness so I don't really see the point although I guess it can be done effectively.

However, the point here is that advertising a product that promises to get your totally free ppc advertising, to me, is just another guru scam. I'm letting you know so that you don't have that "Uh oh, I got suckered again" feeling when your curiosity gets the better of you and you decide to let go of $67 that could be better spent.

My Suggestion

The best thing I can advise you to do if you want to succeed is to learn PPC from people like Kyle and Carson, the authors of Beating Adwords.

This month, a Wealthy Affiliate PPC Accreditation course was launched.

The course is tasked based and will walk you through PPC step by step from scratch to an advanced level. Once completed, you should be an expert in the field and will drastically reduce the risks that are usually associated with PPC marketing.

The only way for you to take advantage of this offer is for you to join Wealthy Affiliate since its only available to members.

The courses will be available as a bundle at a discount price for the next two weeks so take advantage of this offer before its gone.

Discount Extended on Wealthy Affiliate Accreditation Courses

The discount for Wealthy Affiliate's new Accreditation Courses was supposed to end today but Kyle and Carson decided to extend it for another 2 weeks.

Quoted straight from the Wealthy Affiliate Forums, here's what Carson had to say on their decision to extend the discount.

Extension of the WA Accreditation Course Discount

Kyle and I have been bombarded with a slew of emails from both members of WA, and non-members asking if we could extend the discount on the courses for longer than the initial 1 week.

We want everyone that is interested in being accredited in Article Marketing & SEO or Pay-per-click marketing, to have the chance to have access the Courses.

Amidst these tough economic times, we've decided to extend the discount for another 2 weeks.

On another note, we have also been receiving absolutely great feedback about the courses and I'm seeing a lot of "Action" taking place. Task & Lesson based learning really helps illustrate how to take action with what you've learned within the courses.

I am enjoying the message from many of you who are diligently working through the courses and getting that thrill of seeing things come together!

Talk soon,

Carson

Wealthy Affiliate Accreditation Courses

I know I'm late with this so I must apologize. I went to Barbados to relax for a week and I just didn't check any emails or get on the computer or do anything IM related.

Before I went, I told you that Wealthy Affiliate was introducing their newest feature.

Well, while I was gone the features were launched. There are two of them.

Just like real university, Kyle and Carson has developed two accreditation courses to make things easier for Wealthy Affiliate members. The courses aim to take a newbie/intermediate marketer to an expert in each of the fields.

PPC Accreditation courses

The first of the two is the PPC Accreditation course which literally walks you through the whole process of setting up and profiting from PPC marketing.

Like I said, the courses aren't free but if you really need hand holding then this lead you in the right direction with PPC. On top of the one time fee that you pay for each course you get the following absolutely free with your purchase:

BONUS 1: A copy of Beating Adwords (no cost) - $67 Value
BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 Value
BONUS 3: Access to Lifetime Updates
BONUS 4: Full Support (of course)

PPC Marketing Accreditation details available here.

Article Marketing/SEO Accreditation Course

If you prefer to use free techniques, then this course will help you do set up profit pulling article marketing campaigns. Just like the PPC Accreditation Course, its a hand holder type course and you get free bonuses as well.

BONUS 1: A copy of Who Loves Money (no cost) - $77 value
BONUS 2: A copy of Inside the List (no cost) - $67 value
BONUS 3: 100 PLR Articles
BONUS 4: 1000 Hot Article Keywords
BONUS 5: Access to Lifetime Updates
BONUS 6: Full Support (of course)

Article Marketing Accreditation details available here.

Now seeing that the courses aren't free, they are optional. The 8 week action plan is still available but it contains both PPC and Article marketing information.

The difference is that the Accreditation courses will make you an expert in whichever field you chose and they are set out as weekly task based courses where you have to complete each weeks given tasks before you can continue.

This combination of bite size information and taking action should be easy to follow and digest.

Kyle and carson were originally going to offer them outside Wealthy Affiliate but decided to keep it within the membership so that Wealthy Affiliates would have a clear advantage.

If you aren't a member though you can sign up for each of the courses as a bundle with WA membership only until Wednesday the 19th.

Now there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't join Wealthy Affiliate.

PPC "Classroom" on Wealthy Affiliate?

In my last post, I mentioned that Wealthy Affiliate was going to be launching a brand new feature. I'm not sure what it is yet but Kyle and Carson did release the following image in the members section:

The most I can tell you for now, is that its geared towards making expert PPC marketers out of Wealthy Affiliate members and its going to be the first paid membership INSIDE Wealthy affiliate.

That means that it will not be available for free even if you are a Wealthy Affiliate member. I'm thinking it will be something like PPC Classroom and Kyle did mention the word "accreditation".

Its going to be open on November 12th and as usual when I get more word about it I'll let you know.

November 15th Edit: "Taking You To School" details.
