MenuAbout to initiate a Google Ads campaign for an eTutoring Company where I have done everything myself.
I am wondering if it is worth hiring someone to look over it for like 1-2 hours just to make sure a didn't leave out something that will crush the whole thing.
Answers
Yes, it’s always worth investing in some professional help. The good news is: it’s very difficult to "crush the whole thing" with a Google Ads campaign.
The easiest way to fail on GAds is to waste money. Be ready to spend $100/day for ~2 weeks in order to see some real results— either good or bad.
But even still, hiring a pro to give it a look would be a great way to ensure your settings and campaigns are configured optimally. I'd expect to pay $50-100/hr for that person's time.
I don’t provide this service but I could definitely connect you with a few folks who do, if you’re interested.
Hiring an expert to review your first Google Ads campaign is generally a good idea. Even the most experienced advertisers sometimes miss important things when setting up a new campaign. Here are a few reasons why a brief review could be worthwhile:
Targeting: They can check your targeting criteria (keywords, locations, devices, etc.) to ensure you're reaching the right audience and not leaving money on the table.
Ad Copy: Your ad text, headlines, and descriptions should be optimized. An expert eye can catch ways to improve calls-to-action or messaging.
Budgets: Help set optimal daily and weekly budgets and bid adjustments to maximize results without overspending upfront.
Metrics: Verify your conversion tracking and goals are set up correctly to measure success properly.
Negative keywords are often key to avoiding wasted spending. They'll know what to filter out.
Landing pages: Confirm pages are optimized for ads and move users down the funnel smoothly.
Account structure: advise on best practices like separate campaigns or ad groups for different goals.
Launch plan: recommend a smart launch schedule to reduce the risk of mistakes.
It's a small investment that could save you wasted time and frustration later on. Ask them to review everything and provide a report on any recommended changes. It is better to fix issues now than spend months optimizing a flawed setup. For most campaigns, an expert review pays for itself.
There are a number of elements that determine whether or not it's worthwhile to hire someone to examine your Google Ads campaign for one to two hours, but here's my analysis based on the information you've provided:
Motives for thinking about hiring someone
Limited experience: If you're not familiar with Google AdWords or haven't managed sophisticated campaigns before, getting a fast evaluation from a qualified expert will help you spot potential problems and areas that need work.
Complexity of the campaign: Having a professional review your setup helps guarantee that everything is adjusted for effective performance, especially if your campaign includes several ad groups, targeting options, and bidding techniques.
Peace of mind: If you've committed a lot of time and money to your campaign, hiring someone for a one-time assessment can provide important assurance that it's headed in the correct direction.
Considerations prior to hiring:
How confident are you? A review may not be required if you are satisfied with the way your campaign is set up and have done extensive study on best practices.
Budget: One-time sessions can be pricey, so consider your financial limits as well as the possible benefits before making a decision.
Here is a suggestion:
Rather than a broad evaluation lasting one to two hours, you may tailor the consultation to address particular areas that raise questions or concerns for you. This might be your landing page optimization, ad copy, bidding strategy, or targeting strategy. You can optimize the value of your session and obtain more focused input by limiting the scope.
The choice of whether or not to hire someone is ultimately yours. Weigh the aforementioned variables while taking your budget and unique needs into account. Recall that, in the long term, investing even a small amount on professional guidance may save you problems, money, and time.

Is there a way to use paid advertising to test a domain name?
Yes. Use the "Link Text" in your facebook ads to A/B test various domain names. To do this, simply launch a few identical ads, and only change the link text to say the variation of the domain name you are considering. The ad with the highest CTR (not conversion rate or other KPI) will be the one that sparks the most interest in your target audience. Note: one domain may have a high relevance to one audience, but low relevance with another. So this tactic should only be used if you have a very specific demo you are targeting.AG

Is there a job board that works similar to AdSense?
I haven't personally used one, but try searching for affiliate job board widget. Monster has one at http://publisher.monster.com/Widgets/ for their affiliate publishers. See these links: http://publisher.monster.com/ http://publisher.monster.com/Widgets/Job-Board-Widget.aspx There are others. Either search for affiliate on major job boards, or do the search I suggested. You can also see these widgets that came up for a search on widgetbox for jobs: http://www.widgetbox.com/search?q=jobs The key thing to know is that you want an affiliate plugin or widget provided by a major job board that has many listings. It would make sense for LinkedIn to have an affiliate offering for their jobs listings; however, I haven't found information on it yet. If I don't find it fast enough I won't be able to edit this answer to include it. You can contact me for more details on these. If you find one you like or need additional information I can ask our Blogger Mastermind group if anyone has used any of these or can recommend others. We have 100+ serious bloggers who are likely to have more suggestions.GG

What are the best platforms for me to submit my press release on?
Paid option: Do a paid press release on prweb.com.

B) Click on the 'news' category C) filter the results by 'recent' or 'blog' Some journalists cover a particular topic, others cover particular region. Find the ones in each category relevant to your product. To contact them, look them up on Linkedin, Twitter, etc. In your correspondence, make sure you show them that you've read what they've written about in the past and describe your product and how it's relevant. They need reads / hits on the article to get paid, so make sure to frame your story in a way that would help them do that. If you'd like more specific advice on how to frame your product for particular stories, etc. let me know, LeeLV

What offers can attract advertisers to my website?
(Background: I founded the largest marketplace for direct ad sales. Powers sites like Microsoft, Aol, Gawker, etc) If you want to sell ads directly to advertisers... that's awesome, but recognize it takes more work than just dropping AdSense on your site. I'm glad you're thinking of it like "how can I attract advertisers (customers) to do business with me?" I personally don't think gimmicks work well in the long run. It's all about the fundamentals. You are essentially a business (the website) that sells a product (the ad space / ability to reach your audience) to customers (the advertisers). All the normal fundamentals apply - you have to attract potential customers, sell them on your product, close the business, get repeat business, etc. So while a gimmick may work to get someones attention, if their experience of doing business with you is terrible they won't buy or won't come back. We believe the best way to attract, close and keep advertisers is to make your "products" as easy to find and purchase as possible. In the direct ad space, it is way too complicated - often requiring lots of emails and manual effort. Plus they have to find you to begin with. Some actionable stuff for you to do: * Do some customer validation. If you want to sell a product (the ad space), how do you know there is a market? Have you talked to potential advertisers about this? Do you have any pre-committed deals? Do your similar competitors do direct sales successfully? * Have a .com/advertise page and promote it well. You have to let people know you're open for business. Make it easy for people to find it. * Have a system that makes it easy to place/execute/manage actual ad orders. This is what we do at www.isocket.com. There are other tools for various needs, website sizes, costs, etc.JR

When you publish information about someone without permission, you potentially expose yourself to legal liability even if your portrayal is factually accurate. Most states have laws limiting your ability to publish private facts about someone and recognizing an individual's right to stop you from using his or her name, likeness, and other personal attributes for certain exploitative purposes, such as for advertising goods or services.
