Beginner

  • What this level covers

    It covers boosting posts versus running ads through Meta's ad tools, campaign objectives, basic audience targeting, ad formats such as images, carousels and Stories, and setting a small daily budget. You also learn to read reach, clicks and cost per result.

  • Who it suits

    This level suits business owners and new marketers who post on Instagram but have never paid to promote anything. You want to understand how Instagram advertising works before spending money, and no experience with Meta's advertising tools is assumed.

  • What you can apply afterwards

    You should be able to choose a sensible campaign objective, set up a simple Instagram ad with a clear audience and small budget, and understand the basic numbers well enough to decide whether to continue.

Inside this material

Instagram advertising runs through Meta's advertising tools, and the choices you make there decide who sees your ads and what you pay. This e-learning material starts with objectives, explaining how awareness, traffic, engagement and sales goals change the way campaigns are delivered and measured.

You then look at audiences, from interests and behaviours to custom and lookalike audiences built from your own customer data. The creative side follows: formats for the feed, Stories and Reels, and how to write short copy and design visuals that stop the scroll without misleading anyone.

Later levels focus on budgets, bidding and testing, then on reading reports so you can see which ads deserve more spend. The emphasis throughout is on planning campaigns that fit your wider marketing strategy and budget.
