So you own a business and want to make some money. You get a website built and ready to go. You've looked into Search Engine Marketing (SEO) but can see that it can take months before you see results, so instead you decide to go with Google AdWords Pay Per Click (PPC).
You set up a PPC campaign to direct traffic to your website – done! Traffic instantly flows onto your home page.
30 days later – huh!? You haven't made a single sale! And your PPC budget of $5,000 has just gone to waste. What went wrong? Now you have to go back to the dreaded cold calling.
