How create Ads for free?
In this post, we'll cover how to create and publish ads on Facebook or Instagram for free. You'll learn the key bits of information you'll want to know before creating an ad, as well as how to provide a general overview of your company and product, upload images to use in your ads, and what hashtags might be helpful when targeting people who are interested in similar projects. We'll also cover some tips for getting more likes or clicks on your posts.
So buckle up because we're about to get started! I guarantee you haven't read anything like this online before.
Today we will learn how to create and publish ads on Facebook or Instagram for free.
There are two tricks you'll need to know to get started. The first is to use an Instagram ad application, named InstaAds, that is free but allows only 10 minutes of ads per day. It also doesn't allow you to target specific cities or countries. The only option for country selection is US (although if you search "Ads" on Instagram by the state you can find the US Ad division). The second trick is another type of software application called a Facebook Pixel. That way you can target people who have installed it and have a history of using your app or website with their mobile devices.
Although these tricks don't require any knowledge or programming abilities, you will need to know and understand the following concepts:
Market Value: The value of your business compared to all other businesses in the same industry. This is useful to know if you want to get paid for your ads. Advertising rates differ based on a marketplace's market value, so this is a factor that can be used to help determine to price.

Ad Revenues: The amount of money you'll get paid to place an ad on Facebook.

Advertisers pay more to Facebook each time they display a video, photo, or link in their ads. So if someone clicks on your ad and then buys the product or service you're advertising, those earnings are referred to as publisher earnings.

View-through Conversions: When people see your ad but don't click on it, some of them will still perform the action you want them to perform. For example, maybe they'll sign up for a newsletter or follow you on social media. This is called a view-through conversion.
You must be aware of these concepts because they have a direct impact on how much money you spend creating and publishing ads. Unlike free tools and services that use pop-ups and coupons to attract more customers (without taking any sort of payment), Facebook is more business-oriented. When you advertise your business on Facebook, you're competing with other businesses that advertise their products and services. The more money you spend, the greater your reach will become.
In addition to these basic concepts, I'll also be teaching you the tools and strategies to get more likes and clicks on your ads. This is important because when someone likes your ad, that person is then exposed to a few other ads during that same browsing session. For example, if he or she likes or comments on another ad, they'll immediately be shown yours as well (assuming they're still browsing Facebook). Also, if someone clicks on your ad and then follows you on Facebook, your followers will see his or her profile picture in the comments of your post. Again, all of these actions will help to increase the reach of your ads and make you money.
How To Create an Instagram Ad Campaign For Free?
I recently tried out a service that can create ads for free but only allows 10 minutes per day. It's called InstaAds, which you can access here. I highly recommend you give it a shot! It is free but it takes up your browser tab so much that I found it difficult to keep it open while I was writing this article.

To get started with InstaAds, click the button to download the app. Then run it. It will prompt you to sign in to your Instagram account so that it can access your data. After you do so, it will ask you to connect a Facebook account and a browser tab where the application is located (as mentioned above). Before completing this step, though, I highly recommend that you read their privacy policy. You can find that here.
To get started with InstaAds, click the button below to download their free app:
Before we start creating ads, there's one very important thing that I need to show you. Have you ever experienced Instagram's double click feature? It's pretty cool. When you're in a Facebook or Instagram app, there's a little "double click" icon at the top right of your screen. If you click that icon and then move your mouse around the remaining area, you'll see the full page of the app. Then, once you exit that mode, it'll take a second for everything to reload and appear as if nothing happened.
This is one of my favorite features because it lets me immediately return to my search after clicking on an ad. I've found this feature in other apps as well and so I'm starting to use it with InstaAds as well. You can read more about this feature here.
With that said, let's start creating ads!
First, click the "Create your first Ad" button. This will bring up the interface where you'll start to create an ad. By default, it'll be preset to "Display" and "Clicks". You can change this in the drop-down box if you want. But because we're just getting started, I'm going to keep it simple and use Display Ads only. If you'd like a more in-depth explanation of any of these options, though, I'd highly recommend clicking here to read their reference guide on how each one works (you can do this for both Instagram and Facebook ads).
Now, click on "Create an Ad". This will bring up a screen that you'll use to create your ad. On this screen, there are two categories you can choose from "Photo", and "Video". Select the type of ad you want to create and then click on the blue button at the bottom to continue.
For this guide, I'm going to walk you through creating a photo ad. So just keep using that button until you get there. You'll notice that the steps below include adding a photo or video to your ad. Because you can create both, this is important. If you're creating a photo ad, it'll look like the example below:
Next, under the "Ad Copy" section, you'll choose your audience. At first, I was thinking that most of my customers are male (I'm a male competitor). But then I thought about how many other female competitors there are that just put stickers on their ads to attract more women followers. After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that my target market might not be as focused on men as I thought. The best way to find out who your audience is is simply to test it out and see what works for you. Depending on your niche, you may have to do a little bit of trial and error to find out which audience works best for you.
To help with this process, there is an option called "Lookalike Audience" which you'll see in the drop-down menu when you're creating an ad. Unfortunately, it's not available for everyone but if it is, I highly recommend trying it out because it can help to dramatically improve your reach. To see if you have a lookalike audience available, click on the drop-down box that says "Audience". If a lookalike audience is available for your account, you'll see a "Create Lookalike Audience" option in that box. If it's not, you'll see a "Create Audience" option instead.
If your account does have a lookalike audience available, you'll see a nice screen where you can search for potential customers who have similar traits to your current customers and/or fans. This is pretty cool as it helps to increase the reach of your ads and improve the ROI (Return on Investment).
I'm going to assume, though, that you don't have access to a lookalike audience. So instead, we're going to create a custom audience of your current followers. This is done by simply clicking on the "Create Audience" button underneath the "Audience" drop-down box. You'll now be prompted with a screen where you can choose specific people who will appear in your ad.
To create an ad that features a collection of your current followers, click on the button labeled "Custom Audience." Of course, when you're creating an ad, you need to know who you want to feature in it.
