How to Create a Facebook Ads Manager Account

You have a Facebook Page established, and you want to start promoting it and advertising your brand. In order to do that, you need to set up a Facebook Ads Manager account.

Creating a Facebook Ads Manager account is a simple, 3 step process. The first step is to click on where it says “Create Ad” in the gray, left hand column; or, click on “Create Ads” from the drop down menu in the top blue navigation.

After clicking on “Create Ad” or “Create Ads”, you will most likely be taken to a screen that looks like this:

Now it’s time to add a method of payment. Without adding a method of payment, you will not be able to create or run Facebook ad campaigns, promote your page, or sponsor your posts. To add a payment method, navigate to the “Billing” section and choose “Add Payment Method”.

Voila! You are now ready to create a Facebook campaign. However, you may want to consider adding a Facebook Tracking Pixel to your website before you run any ads.
