This group is a great start. If you have a question, search the group first. There’s a ton of good information that’s already been discussed. Try to get on with a local agency if you can so you can learn the ropes, or check out vids on YouTube. Surfside PPC has a ton of great tutorials. Best of luck!

Launch and test your own campaigns, so you can get a feel. Take the Google Ads exams to get certified, then start applying to local digital marketing agencies. Good luck!

Check out the google classroom or google exam learning centre (I can’t remember what it’s called). Understanding the principals of Google Ads will give you a leg up

I think that would be tricky due to any little changes could have a cost consequence. My advise would be ask friends or family with a business if they want to try Adwords as a marketing channel and manage it for free (to tempt them into doing it) and see how you get on. Just make sure to define an end point so 1) they don’t spend more than you agree. 2) you don’t end up working for free all the time.
