There are hundreds of AdWords courses out there, but most of them leave you more confused than when you started by bogging you down with feature-overload. I use my years of experience to trim away the confusing aspects of AdWords and narrow them down to the simple essentials, while also including all of my best "tricks and tips" to streamline your success, teach you how to launch a successful campaign, and prepare you to manage Google Adwords accounts for clients. I have created and managed dozens of Google AdWords accounts for clients selling things from accounting software to chicken soup. I'm an official Google Partner and up-to-date on the latest and best AdWords practices. I am also the creator and manager of DigitalMarketingBeginner, a top source for novices in the digital marketing arena. AdWords can immediately multiply your website traffic and put your latest promotions and messaging in front of customers who are already searching for your product on Google. I'm excited to see you take advantage of this great tool, and to guide you step-by-step as you launch your first AdWords campaign!
