I'm still learning PPC, so I thought I'd ask those with more experience.
What's one mistake that ended up wasting your ad budget, and what did you learn from it? Hopefully, beginners like me can avoid making the same mistake.

I would suggest adding negative keywords from the beginning. It helps remove unwanted searches and makes sure your budget is spent on more relevant clicks.

I think many beginners make the mistake of changing campaigns too often. Give your ads enough time and data before making decisions.
