2. Create an account in campaign manager
The campaign manager platform, commonly known as LinkedIn’s ad manager, will house all of your advertising operations, such as campaign management and budget management.
3. Determine your LinkedIn ad aim
Consider the sort of action you want to encourage in your audience.
4. Select your target audience
You must first select a location, and then you may enter a job title, business name, industry type, and personal or professional interests. For sponsored content and text ads, LinkedIn suggests a target audience of at least 50,000 if this is your first campaign. 15,000 is the ideal number for message ads. Through matched audiences, you may also connect with people you already know. You may accomplish this by retargeting visitors to your website or uploading a list of email contacts.
5. Choose a LinkedIn ad format
Depending on the purpose, you’ll have the choice of using sponsored content (single-image, carousel, or video advertisements), text ad, or message ad.
6. Plan a budget and a timetable
Based on other competing bids for your ideal audience, campaign manager will suggest a price range.
7. Begin creating your LinkedIn ad
If you choose sponsored content or text ads, the campaign manager will provide you previews so you can see how your ad will look when it is finished. You’ll be able to send yourself a test message with message ad.
8: Enter your LinkedIn ad payment details
You must enter payment details before your ad can be seen by the public. Once that’s completed, you’re ready to go.
9. Evaluate performance
The reporting dashboard for your LinkedIn advertising will be the first thing you see when you check in to campaign manager. You may evaluate performance data, see charts and demographics, and export a csv report from this page. You’d also go here for conversion tracking.
