Step 1: Set up a Twitter ads account
To get started, beginners will need to create a Twitter Ads account. They can do this by visiting ads.twitter.com and following the prompts to set up an account. “Once you’ve created your account, you’ll need to link it to your Twitter profile,” explains Avi-Meir.

Step 2: Select a campaign objective
The next thing to do is to identify the right advertising campaign objective. “What do you want to achieve with your Twitter ads?” Is it to enhance brand recognition, drive greater traffic to your website, or increase sales? “Defining your objective will help you create ads that are tailored to your specific goals,” says Avi-Meir.

Step 3: Create an ad group
Creating an ad group is to break up an ad campaign into different categories with different copies, images, videos, CTAs, and budgets to reach different groups of a target audience. “To set up your ad group, you'll need to give it a name and decide when you want it to start and end. If you're not sure, you can also let it run indefinitely,” says Avi-Meir. But it is best to create ad groups only as an experienced advertiser and not as a newbie.

Step 4: Choose Your Ad Type
Twitter offers several ad formats to choose from, including promoted ads which are tweets promoted to people not following the advertiser. Twitter follower ads to promote the advertiser’s account to people not following. Twitter Amplify is used for offering pre-roll video ads on content from over 15 safe publishers. Trend takeovers are ads found on the trending tab of the Explore page and the ‘What’s happening’ section of the Twitter homepage. Timeline takeovers are ads placed at the top of a user’s timeline when they first log into their Twitter account for the day.

Step 5: Target Your Audience
One of the biggest benefits of Twitter ads is the ability to target specific audiences. “You can target users based on a variety of criteria, including demographics, interests, and behaviors,” says Avi-Meir. This allows advertisers to reach the right people with their ads.

Step 6: Set a budget and bid strategically
“When creating your Twitter ad campaign, you’ll need to set your budget and bidding strategy.” Advertisers can set a daily budget or a total campaign budget, and choose from several bidding strategies, including maximum bid, automatic bid, and target cost bidding.

Step 7: Create the Twitter ad
Depending on the ad format chosen, advertisers will have different options on create them including the type of media and copy used for it.

Step 8: Launch the advertising campaign
Once the ad is ready, it’s time to launch it. Advertisers can see their campaign’s performance in real-time and make adjustments as needed.
