Create a Facebook Page

  • Log in to your Facebook account.
  • Click on the "Create" button at the top right corner of the homepage.
  • Select "Page" from the dropdown menu.
  • Choose between "Business or Brand" or "Community or Public Figure."
  • Enter your Page name and select a category that best describes your Page.

Upload Photos or Videos

Upload Photos or Videos

Uploading photos or videos to your Facebook ad can significantly increase its engagement and effectiveness. To get started, click on the "Add Media" button within the ad creation interface. From here, you can choose to upload photos or videos directly from your device. Ensure that your media files are high-quality and relevant to the ad content to capture the audience’s attention. Facebook supports various formats, but it's best to stick with common ones like JPEG for photos and MP4 for videos to avoid compatibility issues.
