Sempre tive medo de mexer no Ads Manager porque parecia complicado demais, mas esse curso desmontou isso passo a passo. Gostei muito de como ele explica a criação da primeira campanha sem pular etapas, mostrando onde clicar e por quê. A parte de segmentação de público foi a que mais me ajudou a entender como direcionar melhor o orçamento. Só senti falta de mais exemplos sobre como interpretar as métricas depois que a campanha já está rodando. De qualquer forma, consegui lançar minha primeira campanha sozinha, o que antes parecia impossível.

Hướng dẫn chạy quảng cáo Meta rất dễ hiểu cho người mới.

Khóa học giải thích rất rõ ràng cách thiết lập chiến dịch quảng cáo đầu tiên trên Meta, từ chọn mục tiêu đến nhắm đối tượng. Trước đây mình toàn bấm loạn xạ trong Ads Manager mà không hiểu gì, giờ thì đã tự tin lập chiến dịch riêng. Phần giải thích ngân sách cũng rất thực tế, không chỉ toàn lý thuyết.

Mình chưa từng chạy quảng cáo nên Ads Manager lúc đầu nhìn rất rối, nhưng khóa học dẫn từng bước nên mình theo kịp. Phần tạo chiến dịch đầu tiên trên Facebook và Instagram được giải thích rõ ràng, từ chọn mục tiêu đến đặt ngân sách. Mình đã tự chạy được quảng cáo đầu tiên và bắt đầu thấy khách quan tâm đến sản phẩm. Phần nhắm đối tượng giúp mình hiểu nên hướng quảng cáo tới ai. Chỉ tiếc là phần đo lường kết quả hơi ngắn, mình muốn học sâu hơn chỗ đó. Dù vậy đây vẫn là khởi đầu rất tốt cho người mới.

Bonne introduction pour se repérer dans Ads Manager, même si certains raccourcis d'interface ont un peu changé depuis l'enregistrement.

I had put off running Meta ads for months because the Ads Manager interface looked completely overwhelming, and this course finally made it click. It walks through setting up the very first campaign step by step, explaining not just where to click but why each setting matters for your goal. The breakdown of audience targeting was especially clear, showing how to narrow things down without overspending on the wrong audience. I also appreciated that it covers common beginner mistakes, like picking the wrong campaign objective, which saved me from repeating errors I'd already made once. By the end I actually launched a small campaign on my own and it performed better than I expected.
