Hi! This lesson is about starting you own Google Adwords Account and giving you a step by step guide on how do so. Creating your Adwords account is a bit confusing to a lot of people, so hopefully I can simplify it down to allowing you to make one and answer some of the common questions while setting up an Adwords account.
Step 1: Go to http://www.google.com/adwords.
Step 2: They are going to ask you to sign in to your Google account. This account is the same as your email if you have one. If you don’t already have an email with Google, you can easily create one and go back to Step 1.
Step 3: Click “Start Now” to begin.
Step 4: Enter your country and currency preference. This is a permanent change so better set it in the currency you always use. Usually Google has it on the country you are currently located in and the currency of that country. Set the time zone to your preferred time. You can Google time zones of your respective country if you don’t already know it. Click “Continue.”
Step 5: Congratulations! Your Adwords account has been created. Check your Google email, the one you used to sign in in Step 2. They send you a confirmation email and if you got it, things are going well. J
Step 6: Sign in to your Adwords account by clicking “Sign In.” They will direct you to the Adwords homepage.
Step 7: Remember that you can’t run your ads without first filling in your billing information. When you reach your home page in Adwords, click on the notice that says, “fill out your billing information.”
Step 8: Fill out the details where Google can bill you.
Step 9: Confirm the billing information you just filled in.
Step 10: Pay the small activation fee ($5.00).
And there you go! You are ready to get started using Adwords to create your Ads, helping you to reach a wider market to grow your business.
