My Experiences With Google Adwords...So Far

Being A Non-Profit's Adwords Manager



During the Winter 2017 semester at Eastern Michigan University, I took the Google Adwords and Webpage Design course. In this class we were split up into 4-person teams and paired up with non-profits. Throughout the course we created, managed, optimized campaigns and their ads. Our learning with Adwords emphasized Click-Through-Rates, quality score for keywords, and the copy on the ads. 

I enjoyed the process of creating a campaign. Finding out which keywords to bid for based on monthly searches and Cost-Per-Click, creating buyer personas, and optimizing the Ad groups after campaign launch. After the semester ended, we were given the opportunity to continue managing the Adwords account for the non-profit. I promptly emailed the professor and the marketing head of the non-profit, asking if I could continue working with them through the summer. 

Since then, I have been the Google Adwords Manager for The Preeclampsia Foundation. I would like to say it has been great working with the foundation. They are truly working towards raising awareness and educating the public on the Preeclampsia condition. 

Moving forward, I am looking to develop my own strategies with creation, optimization, and working with Adwords and Analytics.

Why Social Media Influencers Make Bank

The Big Divide Between Influencers and Companies Several studies have been conducted to see how social media influencers compare to regular brands in terms of engagements on posts. NewsWhip's study done in June 2017 revealed that the metrics between the two were very different. "JetBlue averaged 2,363 engagements in June on its owned posts, while influencer posts garnered an average of 241,226 engagements"( eMarketer ). This divide is the norm throughout all of social media.  So how do these influencers make money? And why?  Companies and brands approach influencers with either requests for a post, a series of posts, or a campaign to promote their product/brand. "Fellow fitness influencer Lyzabeth Lopez, creator of the Hourglass Workout, charges between $3,000 and $5,000 per post, and between $20,000 and $100,000 per campaign" ( Forbes ). Just to give you a ballpark estimate on how much. YouTube campaigns can run up as high as $300,000 for a campaign!!  ...
