Google AdWords To Reach Frustrated Writers

Google AdWords Promotion

A recent Google promotion has prompted my decision to try Google AdWords. AdWords is yet another great program that Google has created as a way to help writers (and others) promote their online writing activities. It's a way to control your advertising budget easily, on a day-to-day basis. As a promotion to get new AdWords members, they are currently giving $100 coupons to join. I'm wondering just how well this mode of advertising is going to work for me. I have to admit, it's an area that is new for me, since my only mode of advertising so far has been for me to post small classified ads. I've often thought about Google AdWords, but never really looked into the program. Google's popularity is widespread. The Adsense program has swept the nation (actually the world). It is one of the most used contextual advertising opportunities on the internet. Google AdWords is it's counterpart,and is equally as popular, thanks to it's many advertising members who bid and compete for ad words. Soon, I'll see just how the whole thing really works.

Google Adsense for Contextual Advertising

If you write for pay, you can probably credit whatever ad revenue money you receive to Google Adsense. Those cute little ads that are placed strategically on thousands and thousands of pages have become the answer to a lot of freelance writer's prayers. The frustrated writer that once struggled to find a paying gig can now stop waiting around and make something happen themselves. A little creativity and a lot of motivation and stamina online can go a long way. New writers have cropped up everywhere, and they come in every shape, size and genre. Bloggers, Hubbers,content writers and various types of affiliate marketers are all enjoying pieces of the Google pie! With so many millions of dollars changing back and forth through our collective Google hands, why are there still frustrated writers? For every successful article writer online, there are probably 100 more that aren't making a dime. This is a great cause of frustration.

Why Some Writers Continue To Be Frustrated

Some writers continue to be frustrated because although the potential to earn, and even the opportunity to earn, is right there before them, it doesn't usually come easy. It takes a lot of consistent work and a WHOLE lot of focus. The excessive frustration comes in when new writers began to measure their own success by the next writer. Overly focusing on someone else means you're probably not focused on yourself enough! You can't expect to be receiving the same results as the veteran writer that has been diligently at it for some years. You can't realistically expect to make tons of money from doing absolutely nothing. And you really shouldn't expect to be rolling in Google money after a few days or weeks of simply placing ads. Things really don't usually happen that way.

I say it doesn't usually happen that way, because there's always some new writer always ready to say "I knew a friend of a friend of a friend that was an overnight success, thanks to Google." It's true, there have been cases of some new writers who generated a large and regular income stream literally overnight using Google and other contextual advertisers. I'm sure their methods and frequency of marketing and traffic generating had to play a key role. Whatever the case, they are the exception to the rule. Freelance writers set out to write for pay everyday. They turn to Google to earn a residual income. Many of them have a lot of great creative and innovative ideals. Too bad that the first few months, they make very little, if any money through contextual ads. By the time they WOULD have started generating a small but regular income, they've threw up their hands and thrown in the towel!

Frustrated Writers Can Motivate One Another

Frustrated writers need to take the time to network and exchange links with other writers. Leaving your comments and sharing both your ups and your downs with other writers can help. Even though you feel like a frustrated writer, you can motivate another writer. We learn and grow through sharing our personal triumphs and defeats in life. The same thing is true online. I'd say about 90% of the different kind of paid writers who use Google have said the same thing. They didn't see ANY money from Google until about the fourth or fifth month, and then it was barely enough to meet the $50 payout thresh-hold (it's $100 now). When I first began to read those type of statements, at first it depressed me. But then I realized, the slump or lull in my financial success was NORMAL. I started to reason, if the other writers were right about the DOWNSIDE, they're probably right about the UPSIDE! And they were. After one long year of dedicated research and observation on the subject, I also agree with those statements. As the months go by, the few Google drips I used to receive have become full grown drops! LOL

Seriously, I have finally begun to get paid enough to know I couldn't possibly give up now! I'm putting the pieces together more and more, day by day and my Google success is looming (I've written a lot of valuable information on Google and the challenges of writing for pay). So I guess it is about time for me to go to the next phase - Google AdWords.
