Numbers don’t lie: worldwide, there are over 1.86 billion monthly active Facebook users, with 1.18 billion daily active users – from managers, to students, to small businesses.
What does this mean for you? In case you have any doubts, Facebook is too big to ignore.
However, simply posting an update on a fan page is not enough. What brands need, especially when starting out, is to create Facebook ads, optimized to reach the right audience.
But how to properly run an advertising campaign on this wide social network?
In this post, I’m going to introduce you The Campaign Maker, a platform that will help you optimize, automate and simplify your Facebook ads.
How The Campaign Maker Works
Registration is really easy. Just use your Facebook profile to sign up and get a free 14-day trial, with no credit card required.
Once you have authorized your account, you will be redirected to the dashboard.
Here you have, at glance, everything you need to know about your Facebook ad campaigns:
- clicks;
- total spent;
- engagement;
- page likes;
- impressions;
- CTR;
- conversions;
- placement;
- locations;
- age groups;
- time;
- gender;
- status
Also, you can filter all the data with specific time frames.
From here, you can set up a highly targeted optimized campaign in just 5 steps. Let’s see them in details.
1. Objective
Start your campaign by choosing one of The Campaign Maker 6 most used campaign objectives:
- Lead Generation
- Conversions
- Clicks to Website
- Page Likes
- Multi-Product
- Post Engagement
Then name your campaign and choose the ad account you want associated with it (average time spent on this step is less than 30 seconds).
2. Adcopy
Write your adcopy and set up your ad.
A/B test your headline, body text, description, URL and image/video with a simple interface. In addition to split testing, you can also see how each ad will look in both desktop and mobile screens.
This is great for beginners (average time spent on this step is less than 5 minutes).
3. Targeting
Set your target audience with tons of features, like interest, demographic and behaviour suggestion engine.
Here are some of the filters you may want to add:
- by location;
- by gender;
- by age;
- by interest, demographic or behaviour, included the “advanced targeting” feature (I loved the automatic suggestions here);
- by placement;
- be relationship status;
- by education;
- by language;
- by workplace;
- by job title;
- by custom audience.
You can also split test every single aspect of your audience all the way from their age to where they work (average time spent on this step is less than 5 minutes).
4. Budget
Specify how much you want to spend per day per adset. This is especially helpful if you are split testing a lot of adsets at once.
You will also have the option of telling the software at what day of week and time of day it should run the campaign (average time spent on this step is less than 1 minute).
5. Review and Publish it
The Campaign Maker lays out everything you have done so you can review everything and if you spot a mistake you can easily go back and fix it.
Once you finish reviewing it just click publish and let the software do all the hard work! (Average time spent on this step is less than 1 minute).
More Features
There are lots of more features you can use inside your The Campaign Maker dashboard.
For example, you can set new automated rules for your Facebook ad campaigns.
Just choose the campaign you want the rule applied to, and enter the automated rules, with filters like:

Final Words
I found The Campaign Maker extremely easy to use, even for beginners Facebook ad users like me.

Other than an affordable pricing, I particularly liked the split testing options, such as placement, behavior, demographic and custom audience.

Hi Erik,
I haven’t actually starting using Facebook Ads, but would like to get involved with it later on down the road. I’ve seen some people have huge success with it. This definitely looks great and helpful for anyone who is just getting started with it.
I agree, I really don’t want to spend a lot of time or money on a campaign that isn’t profitable. This is one of the things that has kept me from pursuing paid traffic.
I don’t want to spend money on things that don’t convert. However, this looks like it might help me be able to get started with Facebook Ads without losing a lot.
I think I’m going to give it a closer look, thanks for sharing this with us.
Have a great day 🙂

The social media such Facebook is the most referral traffic sources and where to engage with readers. Facebook, however, updated multi time algorithm so we find difficult to get as many organic reached as before. Thinking of preparing lead page and advertise with Facebook ads is essential bring the business update.
Many email marketing software such as Mailchimp, Autoresponse, and so on is now providing manager tool for manipulate the advertising. But some of those are still limited the ability of ads optimization.
Again thanks for sharing such an amazing tool. I will take it try as soon as possible.
Thank you for that Great information. Thinking of start Facebook lead ads and advertise with Facebook ads for capture more leads.
The campaign maker makes my life so much easier. I’m able to drill down to find the best performing matrix quickly and efficiently due to the ability to split test EVERYTHING… Seriously… This software allows you to split test the videos, images, headlines, body copy, literally every aspect of the ad… But that’s not all. It also allows you to split test demographics, age, gender, placement, interests, locations, and even custom audiences. And it’s all trackable. On top of that, it slashes the time it takes to create a campaign…
