3. Campaign and pricing:
Simple to tell, campaign contains either ad or group of ads that share daily budget and schedule. We can add more than a ad in a campaign or can start new campaign.
Ad pricing types:
1. Cost per click (CPC): A type of campaign pricing where we pay each time user clicks on our ad
2. Cost per Thousand impressions (CPM): Based on the number of people views our ad we pay in this type of campaign pricing. Generally it is used to create Brand awareness among targeted audiences rather than concentrating on conversions.
Daily budget: Maximum amount of budget we spend on the day on particular campaign. If we wish to spend 5.00$ per campaign, Facebook suggests bid like minimum 0.32$ to 0.88$. Ad will display till the 5.00$ spends out.
