How to create Facebook Ads step by step

Step 1
Creating a Page

Choose if your page is for Business or Community, for this tutorial I’m going to choose Business.

After you click Get Started this image will show up

On the Page Name, you can write what you want to name your page, you can use the name of your business or anything related to what you want to promote. While on the Category you can categorize it if it’s a restaurant, magazine, clothing line a website etc. Click continue.
Next is to upload a Cover photo and profile photo of your page. You can create your own cover using Photoshop but if you don’t have you can also use Canva https://www.canva.com/
After completing this you can start on creating your ads. On the right side-corner click the arrow down and click Create Ads.
