PPC Advertizing: Do it yourself or hire someone?

[shattered world]

For those of you who do PPC advertizing do you prefer to do it yourself or do you hire a person or agency.

I’ve been thinking about running some ads some on Google but I’m worried I’m rusty. I thought about hiring someone but they can be kinda pricey. Still should result in a good ROI tho.

If you've done it before, give it a shot.

Google tends to overcomplicate stuff but the essence is the same:
User searches>sees an ad>clicks an ad>converts.

Make it as seemless as possible.


If you have questions, feel free to ask and I (and I bet others too) will be happy to help.

Who the hell would hire someone to make a lead collection website for emails... Nonsense.

The practical dude around the corner that fixes your old rusty car or paint your house and barely knows what email is, there are millions of these both old and young guys out there.

The usual story is like this... "AAA, me mister doesn't know anything about all that email... my son used to do that but he's gone to Africa to volunteer there, so... I'm looking for help."

The reason I'm 'hiring' is because I want to focus on sales in my agency and NOT finding leads AND sales AND client communication AND service delivery / running ads for clients. If I were doing aff or my own small project or ads for my agency I'd run them myself. But you do what you like, depends on your goals.

It depends on the person you’re hiring, your own expertise, and the project itself. For basic PPC campaigns, you can give it a shot on your own. But for more advanced campaigns with a big budget, hiring the right person can be worth it.

Tbh if you get stuck on PPC just screenshot the step/issue and ask Gemini and tell it to explain simply.

Then ask questions.

I did something similar for reels because I was wondering why comments are treated by the algorithm as lower importance than likes.

My thought process was:

Comments should be higher than likes which takes 2 seconds to double tap, right because it's easier to get likes than comments so I thought the algorithm would rank comments as higher importance.

I was wrong.
