Frequent Asked Questions

Is advertising on Facebook and Instagram the same?
There are indeed many similarities with both platforms. But they are different in many aspects, too. Having experience with one doesn’t ensure your success with the other. So, it’s advisable that you go through the Instagram training if you’ll advertise on that platform even if you already have experience with Facebook.

Is previous experience with Facebook ads mandatory for doing Instagram ads?
Not mandatory, but advisable. Previous experience with Facebook will help you implement the Instagram module with better results.

Is the ads manager for setting up Instagram ads the same that we use for Facebook ads?
Yes, it’s the same ads manager and the same process for setting up Facebook and Instagram ads. When creating a new ad, you’ll be able to choose between Facebook and Instagram in the placements section.

Can I run the same ad both on Facebook on Instagram?
Technically yes, but it’s definitely not advisable. The results will most likely be different for each platform and there are different guidelines for creating efficient ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Should I use the same Facebook pixel for my Instagram campaigns?
Yes!

Can I use data collected on Facebook (pixel) on Instagram and vice-versa?
Yes, you can. Both platforms are fully integrated and you can use data such as custom audiences and lookalike audiences that you’ve built with one platform on the other.

For beginners, is it better to start with Facebook or Instagram?
The best is to follow the order of the modules in the program and get started with Facebook ads. It’s not mandatory, but advisable.

4 – Click “Settings”

In case you need to add your Instagram account to your Facebook Business Manager (if you create it with your personal account, it should happen automatically), follow these steps:

1 – Go to https://business.facebook.com

2 – Click the menu on the top left to expand it and select “Business Settings”

Here you’ll learn the step-by-step process to launch your Instagram ad campaign

Instagram ad campaigns are set up via Facebook’s Ads Manager. However, it’s advisable that you watch the video below even if you already have experience with facebook ads.

There are different ways to start a campaign on Instagram, but the process described in the video below is the easiest start for beginners.

Important: Never target more than one country with the same ad set. Different countries may have a different performance and mixing them up will make it a lot harder to optimize the campaign. Start with one country. If the campaign does well, you can test others in the future.

Your task: set up your Instagram ad campaign.

Task 6: Install your Facebook pixel

Using your Facebook pixel is important on Instagram, too

Installing your Facebook pixel can help you improve your campaigns in the future by using Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences.

Task 5: Create your landing pages

Here you’ll learn how to create high-converting landing pages for Instagram

The landing page is one of the most important elements of a campaign, because it’s on the landing page that you have the chance to talk to the prospect and convince them to take the offer.

Don’t underestimate the landing page as the conversion may actually occur at that point (at least in the prospect’s mind).

Be careful with writing your copy and selecting your image. Don’t settle for the first version you create, review and improve your landing page and make sure that you persuade people to take action.

Your task: create your landing page.
