Should I Invest In PPC-Coach? Does It Work?

Posted on January 7, 2009 @ 9:53 am

If you’re new to the game, breaking into Pay Per Click marketing (PPC) can be quite a daunting task. There’s so much information out there on the web about PPC, but what advice can you trust? If you don’t have the right guide, you’ll lose a ton of money really fast. That’s why you’ll want to join a membership site like PPC Coach. For a monthly fee, PPC Coach will teach you everything you want to know about PPC. You’ll also get plenty of tools and a forum full of helpful members to help you out.

PPC-Coach is a subscription service that will set you back $50 a month. For the monthly fee, you’ll get access to the site and the tools, along with one new PPC method a month. Some months actually have an alternative method to try as well. Each month’s method has its own dedicated sub-forum where you can get personal help from PPC coach and other members. With each method, you’ll also be told which merchant and offers to use.

At the time of this writing, there are 365 active members and almost 32,000 posts on the forums. The forums are quite active, and the members are very helpful. PPC-Coach himself answers questions on the forum, but there are also several other helpful members like like Harry1970 whos posts youll want to read as well. This is where youll get most of the value from your membership as you can ask any PPC related questions you want and get answers to them very quickly.

If you’re having problems with your landing pages, just make a post and you’ll have other members offering you solid advice on how to make it better. Having problems installing one of the tools? Not a problem as it is highly likely that someone else has experienced your same problem before.

On the PPC Coach main page, you’ll have access to the videos. These videos are Camtasia screencasts created and narrated by PPC Coach himself. I really like the fact that Coach shows real life examples which he uses to explain the topic he’s describing. Most of the videos range from 15-20 minutes long, and they cover everything from keyword research, to creating landing pages, to using the PPC-Coach tools, and more.

Honestly, the tools that PPC-Coach offers are worth the price of admission alone. Landing Site Generator is a really nice tool that enables you to generate Landing Pages almost automatically and works quite well with the PPC Coach month 1 method. All you need to do is change a few variables in the script and you have a landing page suitable for your niche which has a nice Google Adwords Quality Score.

PPC Coach tracker is an invaluable tool for tracking all your campaigns. You’ll need to install this script on your own site. Among other things, it allows you to figure out which keywords are converting for you so you can squeeze the most money out of your campaigns. There are other tools as well, but the last one I wanted to highlight is the Content Network Generator tool. This tool is great as it allows you to spit out keywords and adgroups and import them into Adwords super quickly. It really will save you a ton of time.

The actual PPC Coach site itself could use some improvement. Its not the nicest looking page in the world, and I think it could be better organized to help people find information. I also think some of the info on the site could use a little updating as some of the stuff written there hasn’t been changed in awhile. I wish for example, that there was a better Quick Start Guide. I don’t find the current one all that helpful.

I also think that prospective members would appreciate a trial period for the service. If you don’t happen to like what you see with your PPC Coach membership, there currently is no way to get a refund for that initial $50. Still, I think you’ll find the quality of PPC Coach to be good enough that you’ll probably stick around for awhile.

The PPC Coach membership is aimed more towards the novice PPC marketer. The month 1 methods aren’t really new as I’ve seen them described before on other sites. Experienced PPC marketers will still get a lot out of the PPC Coach tools, and of course there’s the great community.

Being a member of PPC Coach will not guarantee you PPC success. The information you will learn will provide the foundation and the tools will save you time. But its up to you to make the most of your membership. That means youll need to ask questions when you need help, and actually get off your butt and start creating PPC campaigns. If youve been looking to get started with PPC and are trying to figure out how to start, then PPC Coach is definitely a program you should look into. If you take advantage of all that PPC-Coach offers, youll definitely start making some money.
