Here's some good news. You already have a Facebook ads account. So that's it. That's the end of this lesson. I'll see you in the next lesson. You do still need to do some things to set up your Facebook ads account before you can run ads, but these steps are really easy. I'll take you through them now. So you know exactly what you need to do. If you're not already there go to the Facebook page that you just created for your business. And then at the top click add center. Now click all ads on the left and then click the link for ads manager.
By the way, I'll also just leave a link below. So you can go directly to ads manager that should take you to the ads manager for your own account. This is your Facebook ads manager begin by clicking the gears icon in the lower left corner. Now just fill out this information, keep the ad account in your personal name, and you can use your business name and your personal address, just like you did when you were filling out that information in Shopify. Once we're done with that click payment settings on the left, add the payment method and follow the instructions to add a payment method of your choice. You won't be charged anything until you start running Facebook ads.
And I know the topic of Facebook ads budget is a big one. Don't worry. We'll definitely talk more about that in a future lesson for now, let's finish laying the groundwork so you can launch your first ads. The next step in that process is to install something called a Facebook pixel. I'll tell you more about that in this next lesson.
