## Create your first campaign

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to campaigns">
    From your dashboard, click **Create Campaign** or go to the **Campaigns** tab and click **New Campaign**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose campaign type">
    Select your campaign objective:

    * **Engagement**: Promote posts to get more likes, comments, and shares
    * **Traffic**: Drive clicks to your website or landing page
    * **Conversions**: Optimize for specific actions like purchases or sign-ups

    For your first campaign, we recommend starting with **Engagement**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set promotion rules">
    Define when posts should be automatically promoted:

    ```
    Minimum engagement: 50 reactions
    Post age: Within 24 hours
    Content type: All types
    ```

    <Tip>
      Start with conservative thresholds. You can adjust these based on performance.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure budget">
    Set your campaign budget:

    * **Budget per post**: $10 - $50 (recommended for testing)
    * **Daily campaign limit**: \$100
    * **Total campaign budget**: \$500 (optional)

    <Warning>
      Make sure your Facebook Ad Account has sufficient funds. Meta bills your ad account directly for all ad spend.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select audience">
    Choose your target audience:

    * **Automatic**: Let Meta optimize based on your page followers
    * **Custom**: Define specific demographics, interests, and locations

    For your first campaign, **Automatic** is recommended.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and launch">
    Review your campaign settings and click **Launch Campaign**.
