How to Launch Your First Facebook Ad in Under 5 Minutes

The Goal: Launch a live, highly targeted Facebook or Instagram campaign using a pre-built template, without needing any prior ad experience.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Navigate to Marketing and open your Ad Campaign Manager.
   
2. Click the Launch Campaign button.
   
3. Select your ad type.
   
4. Select your specific vertical (e.g., Real Estate Investing).
   

5. Browse the pre-built ad templates and click Use This Template on the one you prefer.
   

   

6. Choose how you want leads to contact you (we highly recommend Messenger so your REI Chat can respond instantly).
   
7. Set your daily budget. We recommend starting at $30/day to generate initial signals with minimal risk.
   
8. Define your audience. You can select a Custom Audience if you uploaded a list, or simply use Radius Targeting (e.g., a 15-mile radius around your office).
   
9. Confirm your auto-filled business information and click Launch Campaign.

You're All Set When: Your campaign status shows as active, and you are ready to receive your first message, lead form, or phone call!
