Google and Facebook make billions off of advertising. Something like 80% to 90% of their revenue comes from a single source and that’s ads.

Yet, their ad platforms kinda suck and are hard to figure out. I know so many entrepreneurs who’ve tried Google and Facebook Ads and can’t figure out how to get them to work.

I’ve put together a super simple (and very ugly) cheat sheet on how to get started with Google Ads to help you get from 0 to 1. It ain’t pretty but it’ll help you get your ads started and creating value in no time.

The Google Ads Cheat Sheet covers 4 main areas:

  1. Account Setup & Configuration
  2. Research & Planning
  3. Creating Campaigns, Ad Groups, and Ads
  4. Running Campaigns and Optimizing Them

Take a look and try it out. Let me know if anything doesn’t make sense or of any other questions you have.
