Pay-Per-Click advertising can bring in a great return on investment or it can be a bottomless pit of frustration. It’s difficult to know if you should be running paid ads, how much you should be spending, and what kind of results to expect.

There’s a ton of information online about paid ads. And that too, is a problem. Who do you listen to? Zach and J. don’t have all the answers because they’re struggling with some of the same questions, but listen in as they share their insights on pay-per-click advertising and what might be next.

The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What pay-per-click advertising is
• How PPC advertising works
• Why you should (or should not) be doing it
• What platforms are available to authors
• Who is having success with it
• What might be next when the paid ads bubble bursts
• Whose opinion we trust on pay-per-click advertising (for authors)

Also, discover why J. is now unofficially part of the FI movement.
