5 Easy steps to Advertise

Step 1: Where do you want to advertise?

Decide whether you want people to be directed to your own web page or something on Facebook like a Page, Application, Group or Event. If you are already the administrator of your Facebook Page, Group, Event or Application, you can select it from the drop down option.

Step 2: Reach people who cares

Target your exact audience with demographic and psycho-graphic filters about real people. The targeting page defaults to people age 18 and older in the United States, but you are encouraged to modify this to reach the most appropriate people for your ad. Be sure to reference the top of the page for an estimate of the number of people who match your criteria.

Step 3: How to attract your customers?

Upload creative photo or image, including a title for your ad (up to 25 characters in length including spaces) and content for the body of your ad (up to 135 characters in length including spaces) in the space provided. As you are creating your ad, a preview of it will be shown to you.

In this step, you may also choose to attach social actions to your ad. If you check the box, which add content that notifies a user of their friends’ interactions with your brand or your business on Facebook.

Step 4: Set Budget
