The more specific you are, the more cost-effective you will be.

Step 4: Choose an ad position

Next, you choose where to place ads on Facebook. Here, you have 2 options:

(1) Automatic placements: facebook will deliver your ad placements on its own

(2) Edit ad position: We can edit the ad position to be most reasonable.

Depending on how each person, you can choose one of these two positions, but from experience, I recommend you to choose “automatic placement” so that facebook can properly coordinate your posts.

Step 5: Set an advertising budget

At this step, you’ll set up your ad budget and schedule it to run.

In this section, you can choose:

Daily budget: every day facebook will deliver ads according to the set spend, not every day you put 100k / 1 day facebook spends 100k but maybe today it spends 140k and tomorrow maybe is 60k for example, depending on the distribution of facebook

Lifetime budget: Similar to a daily budget, but instead of setting a daily cost, you set a package budget for the entire ad campaign, and you can adjust the hours and days it runs for advertising campaign.

Next you set up the ad schedule.

If you set your ad budget by day, you have 2 options:

+ Continuously run ad groups starting today (your ads will run continuously until you turn off ads or run out of budget)

+ Set start and end date (Ad start date to ad end date)

Then click on the “continue” button.

Step 6: Select promotional articles

Here, you will select the fanpage and article you want to advertise, preview how the ad will appear to users on mobile devices, on regular phones, on computers…

If you want to create a new ad post, click on Create New Ad on the top menu, here you can upload photos, videos or slideshows and write ad content as well as add CTA buttons to the post…

After completing all the steps, click the Review button to review the ad campaign overview or change some content. When you are sure with all the above steps, click the Confirm button.
