Either way, I would get several books on the subject, and learn from there. With this you will have a good and needed foundation, and you wont be spending your money, in vain. As somebody already mentioned, you can mess it up too, and it is not worth it. AdWords requires constant work, as you are competing with other people. You would need to focus 100% on that, I would say. Another thing, which is good for this, is Google Analytics.
I've never worked on AdWords, but I may, for what I will be planning to do. It is good traffic, and there is a lot of people competing for it, too (like, lets say dating traffic, and try to make profit, off that).

Sorry, I missed that part. I run paysites only so I'm sending the traffic to paysite landing pages. This is why it surprised me I got approved at all! So I thought fuck, since they approved my "sex education" (porn) site why not give it a shot for a couple weeks?
With cams and dating I'm sure there is a profitable mathematical equation where it all makes sense but, as with traffic selling/buying in adult, that's not a game I want to become expert in. Mainly because of this:

Regardless of how many tutorials you study or how well you think you understand Adwords; it will never help. They change their algorithms on a whim, and what worked yesterday will cost you a shit ton of money with no returns today. The way I see it (and experienced), as long as Google has your credit card information on file, they WILL max it out, and then you're forced to fight for it back. And that's a fight you're not likely going to win. 
RUN, FORREST! RUN!!! |

Some sound advice here. After two weeks and $300 spent (without an uptick in sales) I went and paused the campaign. Ever since then Google has been emailing me like crazy! "Re-start your campaign today" kind of shit. They do it so many times that I sometimes check my campaign to make sure they haven't restarted it. LOL
But what you wrote Rob is why I never played the SEO game in the first place. I'm always happy I made that choice whenever webmasters wake up one morning and find their PR1 site has dropped to PR57.
But also what Roald wrote is amazing (but not surprising I guess). You think all is ok, your company spends 7 figures with Google, then WHAM it's all fucked. So what chance would a small fry like me have with Google? I'm thinking it's not worth even trying at this point.
