Make Money with Google Ads; Are they scams?

Those google income offers are not an income opportunity that is offered by Google, but an independent company trying to sell you a way to get rich "using" Google's services.

# 1 Google's pay per click service is not subscription based.

At the point at which these companies ask you to pay $80+ per month to become a member of their network that should raise a red flag, and you should not try it.

#2 If you buy $1,000 in pay per click (check Google for exact details), they'll set up your PPC for you to help you maximize your sales for the products that you're selling through their search engine, because they want your repeat business.

People are getting scammed, but that aren't even aware of what company is running the scam. It's not Google.

A long time ago, I did a program like that called "Googad", that used the same concept. Trial based on paying for the shipping of a CD ROM, and then a monthly subsription for what was supposed to be the forum of wealth (so-to-speak) that would have marketing and PPC techniques and 24hr support to help me make money with google.

...but that wasn't google, my friends.

I read the fine print on a site I visited recently, and spoke to someone at customer service for the site I was at, and I knew they wanted $80 somethin' per month, before I bought into the trial. The value they tried to build into that $83 was the amount of money you could make. Of course, if I'm making $10,000 per month $83 ain't nothing, but if what I gotta do is post an affiliate link to a similar website, getting people to buy into this $83 service (which is what I see repeatedly), then that says a lot about where the money's coming from, and that's some b*** s*** to me. You're not making money selling a product on google, you're making money selling "the google money making machine" as the product.

I look at how the person is promoting what they want me to buy into. If I find out about it on a search engine, then I figure that's how I gotta promote it to hit my target market. If it's a message on a message board, a direct message in a social network, or an email ...then I figure that's what I gotta do (either in time spent in free online marketing or in ad money) to find customers for the product.

With the Google money thing ...I see alot of fraudulent ads on blogs that pretend to be an article in a viable news paper, when it's not ...or a video with someone flossing a rediculous amount of money that they earned ...and I couldn't possibly duplicate that just starting out as a newbie. If an individual has to floss how much their making to sell it, then it's probably not worth getting into, because you come into it making "$0" = No proof = No sales for you.

So, my suggestion is to look at the product, and if it's something that you can use and are willing to market to others, then go for it!

If it's something that in the time you spend promoting it - is turning sales in a way that's worthwhile to you, then keep at it!

Sales is all in the presentation in anything you buy into online, because #1 there's absolutely no way to test the product, unless it's a digital product (music, video, ebook, software, game, etc..), so know your role and create a hot ass presentation for whatever it is you're selling, or fall back and do something else.
