    Just QUIT my job, need some feedback

    Strangely I do agree with you here in some respects. SME's aren't interested in SM management because they are SME's and dont have the budget for something that they cant really measure. To measure it, you would be looking at a lot of money and investment in time, probably £300 per month. But...

    Just QUIT my job, need some feedback

    Basically this thread has been a waste of time because not one person has answered my question and simply given their uneducated opinion as to whether this will work or not. I am not asking if this will work, I know it will because I receive invoices every day from people providing the service...

    Why do buisness owners go on about claiming back VAT?

    OK so to clarify in my case my only expense really is digital marketing and I will be charged VAT. Expenses - basically none. Average charge to a customer is £100. It sounds like there is no point, in my case anyway to register for VAT off my own back as turnover is less than 40k

    Why do buisness owners go on about claiming back VAT?

    So lets say I spend £1000 on Google Ad Words and claim back £200 in VAT. And then I also charge £400 VAT to my customers on £2000 worth of services. The difference is £200. The VAT I charge to my customers goes to the VAT man and I keep claim back £200 from my Google Ad Words spend? So...

    Why do buisness owners go on about claiming back VAT?

    Business owners are always saying and boasting about being able to claim back the VAT because they are VAT registered but when you claim back VAT it just goes to the VAT man????/ So there is no financial gain???

    Search Network OR Search AND Display network??? Google Ads

    Sounds like that seems to be the case. I think that Ad words is obviously highly lucrative for some industries/businesses but for small guys it does seem tough.

    Search Network OR Search AND Display network??? Google Ads

    Typically speaking.... Is it better to run a Google Ad Words campaign just on the search network or both? I think that the display network is inviting people to click when they are not looking for your service at that very moment and it is a better tool for businesses with bigger budgets? I am...
