1. Go to http://adwords.google.com

3. Select targeting countries and languages for your campaigns
4. Set the budget you’re willing to spend
5. Use the AdWords template provided to write your first ad text
6. Choose keywords you want your ads to appear for
7. Set up your billing options
   …. and you’re good to go!
