Nunca tinha mexido com anúncios e consegui criar minha conta e subir a primeira campanha sem travar. A parte de definir o público certo no Facebook e Instagram foi a que mais me ajudou. Faltou um pouco mais sobre otimizar depois que a campanha já está rodando, mas para começar do zero é ótimo.

I'd always been intimidated by advertising, so getting my ad account set up and a real campaign live by the end felt like a huge win. The course breaks down audience targeting on Facebook and Instagram in a way that finally clicked for me. Rather than throwing money at boosts, I now understand how to reach the exact customers I want. Walking through building a campaign from scratch removed all the mystery. My first ads actually brought in clicks from the right people. Highly recommend for anyone starting Meta Ads with zero background.

Volevo iniziare a fare pubblicità su Instagram e Facebook per il mio negozio ma non sapevo da dove partire con l'account pubblicitario. Questo corso spiega passo dopo passo come impostare tutto correttamente, evitando gli errori più comuni che fanno sprecare budget. Mi è piaciuta molto la parte sulla creazione delle prime campagne, con esempi pratici di targeting per raggiungere il cliente giusto. Le lezioni sono ben strutturate e non troppo tecniche, quindi anche chi parte da zero riesce a seguire. L'unica cosa è che la sezione sul retargeting avanzato è piuttosto breve rispetto al resto. Nel complesso però mi sento molto più sicura ora nel gestire le campagne da sola.
