Does anyone else think pay-per-click ads are kind of weird?

That sounds like a complete disaster, but honestly it's a hilarious story now.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, my husband told me to consider it an "educational expense," but I'd rather have spent that $80 on sushi.

Sushi definitely sounds like a better investment than butter candle clicks.

100%. At least sushi makes me happy. Google dashboard just gives me a headache.

Yeah, I think this confirms my fear. PPC ads feel like a giant slot machine where the house always wins.

It totally is! Except at a casino you might get a free drink, Google just sends you an invoice in your email.

Haha! Well, I’m definitely sticking to free posting. If I lose money there, at least it’s just my time.

Same here! TikTok videos are free. They take 4 hours to make and get 12 views, but hey, my mom can watch them without charging my card!

Yeah, I think it’s kind of weird too. Spending money just to get someone to click, then hoping that click turns into a sale can feel pretty risky, especially when you’re working with a small budget.

What I’d have a hard time with is paying for clicks and not knowing how many of those people will actually buy. It would probably take some time before I’d feel comfortable spending more on it.

I don't find it weird, especially if you need a boost in visibility. PPC can help get your business noticed faster, as long as the results justify the cost.
