The best place to learn about Facebook ads as a newb?

Hi guys,

I'm finally getting started on Facebook advertising, and will start retargeting the pixels that I have from my websites with organic traffic.

Can you give any suggestions on where I should start learning about Facebook ads? What is the go-to place for beginners? The guide here on STMforum seems a bit outdated.

Thanks for the help!

I'd say start by reading stickupkid's and mation's threads which are pretty up to date and can get you started nice and easy on Facebook. From the on, trial and error it is.

Stickupkid's guide is great, then mation's case studies are good for slightly more advanced stuff.

It's a lot of trial and error with Facebook too, though. They change rules so often that the main thing you have to learn is that they care deeply about user experience.

Thanks manu and mihalis. I am trying as hard as I can to finish all parts within some months!

Thanks guys. Appreciate your effort Stickupkid.

I'm really interested in getting started on this ASAP, so can't really wait for your guides to get finished Stickupkid. Can you recommend any places you would think would be good for a newb to go to? Thanks man.

I am looking to get in facebook ads myself. Were you able to find any success in finding resources? I was told that FBs blueprint is a good way to start.

FB's Blueprint is a good resource to get an overview of everything the platform offers and kind of what Facebook wants you to do. It will get you familiar with all the different ad types, bid types, objectives, etc.

It won't reach you performance marketing though.

If you've never touched Facebook before, definitely check out Blueprint at the same time as @stickupkid's guide.

It is definitely a great place to start. It will get you the basics, which is critical in this game.

If everyone in the world running FB ads had the information in this forum... we would have to learn to be happy with 5% margins lol... it would destroy the traffic source lol
