How to start advertising on Facebook: step-by-step<\/h2>\n

Familiarize yourself with Business Suite and Ads Manager<\/b><\/p>\n

Actually, it’s easy to get confused when you want to open a specific ad tool on Facebook. They have Ads Manager, Ad Center, and you can also access Ad Center through Business Suite, so the options on your left-hand side might confuse you at first.

Decided to go through the Business Suite route? Even if you’re already using Business Suite, it doesn’t hurt to know how to create an ad there. Once again, you’ll find the Ad Center on the left-hand side. It should open up a whole new overview. You’ll notice a highly contrasted Create Ad button.<\/p>\n
