info_outlineThis episode is a solo episode where we have a very important topic ‘Should you hire an Agency to run your PPC Advertising or do it In-House’. This is what we are going to chat about on this episode, and it is a crunchy topic that is as polarizing as Democrat Republican. I've avoided doing this episode from the very first release as on one hand, I have made the lion's share of my money as a Seller on Amazon.
In this podcast episode, I’ll help you delve into the debate of whether businesses should opt to hire a PPC agency or manage their pay-per-click advertising efforts in-house. We’d weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option, taking into account factors such as expertise, time investment, and cost implications. Additionally, I’ma offer valuable insights and recommendations for businesses contemplating the in-house route, emphasizing the significance of thorough research and staying updated on industry developments.
Ultimately, the decision to outsource PPC or handle it internally will be contingent on the unique needs and capabilities of each business.
In This Episode:
[00:30] Finally this topic.
[04:55] Pros and cons of hiring an Agency
[06:50] In-House team
