You need to have a marketable products, one that's in demand. You can start with Facebook ads, if you don't know how to run ads on Facebook, you can check lessons on YouTube.

Don't make the mistake of not having a proper advertising plan before going into it. If you are selling a product..it is best to have a page or group on Facebook for people to see how your product looks and always make sure to label your product so that users will know it's from you

Well, here's some necessary steps you shouldn't ignore.

1. Make sure you know the top 3 benefits of your product and how those benefits affects the lives of your customers.

Be sure to include those benefits in your ad copy.

2. Make research about your target market. Their pains, frustrations, what problem bothers them the most that you can solve with your product, where they hang out online.

3. Make sure you read the rules and regulations of the platform you want to use.
Others are more lenient, but if it is Facebook, you want to be sure you are within their rules.

I made a mistake when I ran my first ad. I was promoting my product to the wrong audience. After spending $20 and not generating any sales, I changed my audience targeting. This time I not only managed to cover my ad budget but even earn profits from sales. One of the major issues with advertising is not targeting the proper group
