• Select Create Promotion.
• Choose between running a video or an image ad. For this example, we’ll select Video.

Setting up an Instagram Business profile 

Now that you’ve decided to start using Instagram for your business, it’s time to set up a professional profile. Here’s how:

• Choose a username that reflects your brand or business name. Avoid using personal names or numbers, as these can make your account difficult to find.
• Fill out your bio section with keywords that describe your business and what you do. Include a link to your website or blog so people can learn more about you.
• Use high-quality, well-edited photos in your posts. This will help you attract attention and followers.
• Engage with other users by liking and commenting on their photos. This will help you build relationships and expand your reach.
• Use relevant hashtags in your posts so people can find your content easily.

Connecting your Instagram Business Profile to a Facebook Page 

If you’re running a business on Instagram, you can connect your profile to a Facebook Page to make it easier for customers to find and connect with you. Here’s how:

• Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
• Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top right corner of the screen.
• Scroll down and tap Settings.
• Tap Business.
• Tap Connect to Facebook. If you’re not already logged into Facebook, you’ll be prompted to do so now.
• Select the Facebook Page that you want to connect to your Instagram business profile and tap Continue.
• Review the permissions that Instagram is requesting and tap OK.

That’s it! Your Instagram business profile is now connected to your Facebook Page. When you post content to Instagram, you’ll have the option to share it on Facebook as well.

Note: If you’re not an admin of the Facebook Page that you’re trying to connect to, you’ll need to be added as an admin before you can continue. Learn how to add someone as an admin of a Facebook Page.

 

 

Creating the Ads

Now that you’ve decided to create an Instagram ad, it’s time to get started!

Creating an Instagram ad is easy, but there are a few things you need to do before you get started. First, you need to decide on your objective. What do you want your ad to achieve?

Are you trying to increase brand awareness? Get more people to visit your website? Promote a new product or service? Once you know your objective, you can start creating your ad.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Choose a video or image for your ad. This is the first thing people will see, so make sure it’s something eye-catching and relevant to your brand.
• Write a headline and description for your ad. Keep it short and to the point – you want people to be able to read it quickly and understand what you’re promoting.
• Choose your target audience. Who do you want to see in your ad? You can target by age, location, gender, interests, and more.
• Set a budget for your ad. How much are you willing to spend? You can set a daily or lifetime budget for your ad campaign.
• Choose how long you want your ad to run. Do you want it to be a one-time thing, or do you want it to run for a week? A month? Decide on a timeframe that makes sense for your business.

Once you’ve done all of this, you’re ready to hit publish and start running your ad! Just remember to keep an eye on your campaign and make sure it’s performing the way you want it to. If not, don’t be afraid to make changes – that’s all part of the process.

Creating a video for your AD

Creating a video for your Instagram ad is easy! All you need is a smartphone and the Instagram app.

To get started, open the Instagram app and create a new post. Then, tap on the “Video” icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Next, select the video you want to use from your camera roll or tap on the “Record” button to record a new video. Once you’ve selected or recorded your video, you can add filters, trim the clip, and more.

Once you’re happy with your video, tap on the “Next” button in the top right corner of the screen. From here, you can add a caption and location tag before posting your video to Instagram.

And that’s it! Just remember to keep your videos under 60 seconds long to avoid any potential problems with uploading. 

 

 

Do’s and Don’ts of a Video Ad

Now that you know how to create an Instagram video ad, it’s time to learn about what makes a great ad. Here are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind:

Do: Keep it short and sweet

Instagram users have short attention spans, so your video ad should be brief. Aim for 15 seconds or less.

Don’t: Be boring

Your video ad should be interesting and engaging. Use creative visuals and storytelling to capture users’ attention.

Do: Use relevant keywords

Make sure your video ad is optimized for search by including relevant keywords. This will help users find your ad when they’re searching for topics related to your business.

Don’t: forget to call to action

End your video ad with a strong call to action that tells users what you want them to do, such as “click the link in our bio to learn more.”

Do: A/B test your ads

Test different versions of your ad to see what works best. Try changing the visuals, copy, or call to action to see what leads to more conversions.

Don’t: neglect your other marketing channels

Instagram video ads should be just one part of your overall marketing strategy. Don’t forget to promote your video ads across other channels, such as email and social media.

By following these dos and don’ts, you can create an Instagram video ad that is effective and successful.

Write a Headline and Description for Your Instagram Ad

Your headline and description are two of the most important elements of your ad. Together, they give potential customers a snapshot of what your business is all about and what you have to offer.

To write a great headline and description, start by thinking about what makes your business unique. What are your USPs (unique selling points)? What do you offer that no one else does? Once you’ve got a good understanding of your differentiation, craft a headline that communicates it concisely, followed by a description that elaborates on what sets you apart.

Keep in mind that people use Instagram primarily to consume visual content. So along with an attention-grabbing headline and description, make sure your ad includes high-quality visuals that accurately represent your brand.

Choose Your Target Audience for Your Instagram Ad

Now that you know what type of Instagram ad you want to create, it’s time to decide who your target audience is. Keep in mind that your target audience should be people who are likely to be interested in your product or service.

To find your target audience, you can use Instagram’s built-in insights tool. To access this tool, simply click on the “Insights” tab at the top of your Instagram profile.

Once you’re on the Insights page, scroll down to the “People” section. Here, you’ll see a list of all the different types of people who follow you on Instagram.

You can use this information to help you narrow down your target audience. For example, if you sell women’s clothing, you might want to target women who are between the ages of 18 and 34.

Once you’ve decided who your target audience is, it’s time to create your ad. To do this, simply click on the “Create Ad” button at the top of your Instagram profile.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to select a template for your ad. For our example, we’ll choose the “Single Image” template.

Once you’ve selected a template, you’ll be taken to the next page, where you’ll be able to upload an image or video for your ad. For our example, we’ll upload an image.

After you’ve uploaded an image, you’ll need to enter some basic information about your ad. This includes the headline, description, and call to action.

Once you’ve entered all the necessary information, simply click on the “Publish” button, and your ad will be live!

it’s time to start thinking about your campaign. Remember to keep your target audience in mind and to create an eye-catching image or video that will grab their attention. With a little bit of creativity, you can create an ad that will help you boost your business.

 

Setting a Budget for Your Instagram Ad

Now that you know how much you can expect to spend on your Instagram ads, it’s time to set a budget. There are a few things to consider when setting a budget for your Instagram ad campaign:

– How much are you willing to spend per day?

– How many days do you want to run your ad?

– What is your total budget for the entire campaign?

Once you’ve considered these factors, you can start setting your budget. To do this, simply divide your total budget by the number of days you want to run your ad for. This will give you your daily budget. For example, if you have a $100 budget and you want to run your ad for 10 days, your daily budget would be $10.

 

 

Deciding How Long to Run Your Instagram Ads

As a business owner, you’re always looking for ways to get the most out of your marketing budget. And when it comes to advertising on Instagram, you want to make sure you’re running your ads long enough to get the results you’re after.

But how do you know how long to run an Instagram ad?

The answer will vary depending on your specific goals and objectives. But in general, we recommend running Instagram ads for at least 14 days. This will give you enough time to gather data and see how your ad is performing.

If you’re not seeing the results you want after 14 days, then you can always adjust your ad strategy and try running your ad for a longer period. But in most cases, 14 days is a good starting point.

Now you know how to determine how long to run your Instagram ad. Just remember to keep your specific goals and objectives in mind, and you’ll be well on your way to success.
