This community is a place to discuss best practices and strategies involved in running successful Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns. Based on the rules, it is a learning tool for people who work in advertising on Meta, including facebook ads and instagram ads. People come here to talk about how to run those ad campaigns well.
The rule named "No Promotional Posts" is the big one for any founder. It says that the majority of links to courses, services, or any other promotional content are not allowed, but that some promotional content is allowed if you are bringing a ton of value to the community. It also says to reach out to the moderator team and ask for approval before posting if you are in doubt. The rule named "Stay On Topic" matters too, because it says this is not the sub to air your grievance about the consumer Facebook platform, and that all posts and comments should be related to advertising on Meta. The rule named "Job Posting" says to post your job in the weekly job board thread posted every monday. The rule named "Be Nice" says to keep conversation professional and civil and that this subreddit is meant to be a learning tool for all of us.
A good post here is a detailed discussion of best practices or strategies for running Facebook or Instagram ad campaigns. If you want to share anything promotional, the rule named "No Promotional Posts" says you must bring a ton of value to the community, not just post a link to your service. The safest approach is to reach out to the moderator team and ask for approval before posting anything promotional. You could share a real breakdown of an ad campaign, what you learned, or a strategy that worked, as long as it genuinely helps people learn.
Avoid posting any link to a course, service, or promotional content without bringing a ton of value to the community. The rule named "No Promotional Posts" says that anything found to be promotional content without providing value will result in the post being removed and you being permanently banned. Avoid airing grievances about the consumer Facebook platform, because the rule named "Stay On Topic" says this is not the sub for that. Avoid posting job listings as standalone posts, because the rule named "Job Posting" says they go in the weekly job board thread. Avoid name calling or harassment, because the rule named "Be Nice" says to keep conversation professional and civil.
