This step will save you from making rookie mistakes. Follow a step-by-step guide for creating a Facebook ad. After defining your ideal customer profile, you can begin creating ads and targeting them. In addition to the ad itself, you can also choose to target users based on location, payment method, or other criteria.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_a_Facebook_ad_account\"><\/span>Setting up a Facebook ad account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To start advertising on Facebook, you need to set up a Facebook ad account. You can create an account using the Business Manager tool. This tool allows you to create and manage your ads and to set up email and push notifications. If you need to add more people to your account, you can do so by creating another ad account and requesting permission. Facebook ads have a limited amount of budget and allow only certain locations.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to create a Facebook page. After you have created the page, you will need to create an account with Facebook Business Manager. Once you&#8217;ve created an account, go to Account &gt; Ad Accounts. From here, you can begin creating your ads. Then, make sure that you have a good understanding of the business&#8217; objectives. You will need to follow the instructions carefully to ensure that your ads are relevant to the audience you&#8217;re targeting.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Facebook_ad_with_a_secondary_payment_method\"><\/span>Creating a Facebook ad with a secondary payment method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a Facebook ad with secondary payment methods will allow you to accept payments from multiple sources. While credit cards are widely accepted, Facebook does not accept payments from bank accounts. If you would like to accept payments through a credit card, you must authorize Facebook to charge your account. The following are the ways to do so. Use the one that works best for your needs. The payment methods that are accepted by Facebook will depend on your location.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose to set up automatic payments. This is a more complicated method. The automatic payment threshold is based on your billing history and will increase as you use Facebook Ads more. When you first set up an automatic payment, the threshold is $25. Every time you spend $25 on Facebook Ads, you will be billed. If you have a balance at the end of the month, Facebook will charge you to clear the remaining amount for the next month.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Facebook_ad_with_location_targeting\"><\/span>Creating a Facebook ad with location targeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook ads with location targeting allow you to reach people in a specific area. Using the information you provide about a user&#8217;s connection and device, you can target people who live in that area or who are visiting that area. This is great if you have a time sensitive sales or event and would like to advertise to people who are actually in the location. The following guide will walk you through creating an ad account with location targeting.<\/p>\n<p>For brick-and-mortar businesses, using location targeting will help them reach people in specific neighborhoods. Businesses can tap into the social chatter that happens around landmarks and link their businesses to them. By using location targeting, Facebook can deliver ads that can drive foot traffic to their businesses. It is much easier to implement than other types of targeting, and offers a huge ROI. You can learn more about location targeting at the Crypto Business Conference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_a_spending_limit\"><\/span>Setting a spending limit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook ads can be quite costly. Therefore, setting a spending limit is a good way to avoid overspending. To set a limit, go to the Payment Settings menu in your Facebook ads manager. Select &#8220;Set Your Account Spending Limit&#8221; and enter a dollar amount to spend on your ads. This number starts at zero and is not based on historical data. So, it&#8217;s important to know how much money you&#8217;ve already spent on Facebook ads before setting a limit.<\/p>\n<p>Setting a spending limit will help prevent you from going over your account spending limit. Unlike other ad campaigns, Facebook ads don&#8217;t reset after a certain period of time or at the end of the month. Rather, when you hit the spending limit, your ads will pause and you won&#8217;t be charged anymore. You will receive a notification informing you of this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_client_to_set_up_a_Facebook_ad_account\"><\/span>Getting a client to set up a Facebook ad account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you start creating Facebook ads, you&#8217;ll need to get your client to set up an account. In your Business Manager, click &#8220;Settings&#8221; &gt; &#8220;Add people.&#8221; On the next screen, you&#8217;ll want to add your client. Make sure they choose a payment method. You can charge them automatically or manually. To ensure they&#8217;ll remember their password, share a video tutorial with your client.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll need to set up a client ad account. It&#8217;s important to know that every client will have a different custom audience. This means that each client&#8217;s account will need a unique ad. You can set up a separate ad account for each client, as long as they&#8217;re willing to put their credit card information on it. Facebook will then charge the client directly for ad spend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Create a Facebook Ad Account Before you start your first Facebook ad campaign, you should first define your ideal customer profile.
