When buying a new account or creating a new FB ad account, it is recommended that you first create an advertising campaign with a valid content and maintain it with a small budget for a short time before you launch your product.

Let do this:
Day 1-7:
Use a residential IP, real phone number & email.
Complete profile, add 5-10 friends/day, join 3-5 groups.
Engage naturally (like, comment, share), watch videos, use Messenger.
Day 7-14:
Post personal content (avoid money-making topics).
Keep engaging, browse Marketplace, watch videos.
After that:
Run a small engagement/page likes ad ($1-$5/day).
Scale slowly, avoid sudden changes.
Hope it helps. However, no strategy can help you to avoid 100% the restriction

You should warm up your account before starting the main ad. By creating a bait campaign with a small budget of about $5, running for 2-4 days, you can then create the main ad.

you can begin with basic actions like updating profile information, joining relevant groups, liking pages, and engaging in posts, increase activity incrementally each day. Then run small, highly targeted campaigns with low budgets, focusing on broad audience targeting and avoid engaging in suspicious activity (e.g., spamming, buying likes/followers, using cloaking...). Good luck

Use regular IP addresses and avoid proxies unless necessary. If proxies are used, it should be of high quality

To start a new Facebook account and avoid being banned or flagged for running ads, you need to take some steps to prepare and maintain the account for a period of time before you start advertising. Here are tips on what to do, how long to wait, and what to avoid:

1. Create and Build Your Account Naturally
Keep Your Information Real: Make sure that the personal information on your Facebook account is valid and authentic (e.g. name, date of birth, email, phone number, etc.). Facebook is very strict with accounts that contain fake information.

Update Your Profile: Make sure your Facebook profile is complete, including a profile picture, cover photo, and basic personal information.

Join Groups, Like Pages, and Make Friends: Join groups related to your field of interest and make friends with people related to your business. This will help your account appear more natural.

2. Take it slow
Avoid being too active: When you first create an account, don't be too aggressive at first (like sending too many friend requests, joining too many groups, or posting too many posts). Facebook may suspect your account of being a spam account if you do these things too quickly.

Send only 5-10 friend requests per day: Don't send too many friend requests in the first few days. It's best to gradually increase the number of friends and interactions over time.

Naturally interact: Do natural interactions like "liking" and "commenting" on your friends' posts, joining conversations, and sharing useful content.

3. Waiting Time
Wait at least 2-4 weeks before running ads: To keep your account "safe" before starting to run ads, spend at least 2-4 weeks to build your account and interact naturally.

Run small ads: Start running small, low-budget ad campaigns so that Facebook doesn't see your account as suspicious.

4. Important Rules When Running Ads
Ensure compliance with Facebook's advertising policies: Before starting to run ads, carefully read Facebook's advertising policies to ensure your content does not violate them.

Do not work with ads that violate the rules: Ads that are deceptive, fraudulent, or related to prohibited areas (such as gambling, tobacco, etc.) will be easily detected by Facebook and your account will be flagged or banned.

Use a business account: If possible, switch to using an advertising account from Facebook Business Manager instead of using a personal account to advertise. This reduces the risk of being flagged and makes it easier to manage campaigns.

5. Be Careful With Linking and Interacting With Other Accounts
Avoid connecting too many payment accounts: Don't link too many credit cards or bank accounts to your Facebook account in the beginning. This can arouse suspicion.

Limit sharing of accounts or personal information: Avoid sharing your account with too many people or too many different accounts, as this can cause your account to be flagged as dangerous.

6. Ensure Account Security
Enable 2-step verification (2FA): To protect your account from being hacked or compromised, enable two-step verification (2FA).

Keep an eye on Facebook notifications: Check your Facebook notifications regularly to see if there are any changes or requests from them. This will help you fix the problem in time if your account has problems.

Things to Avoid:
Do not use services that buy fake likes, followers, or comments: This will make your account more likely to be flagged because Facebook can recognize unnatural actions.

Do not spam or send direct ads: Avoid sending too many ads or friend requests to promote products in the early stages.

Do not share your account with others: This can put your account at risk if others do not follow Facebook's regulations.

Hopefully these tips will help you start your new Facebook account safely and effectively before you start running ads!

Warming up a new Facebook account for ads is essential to ensure that your account doesn't get flagged or banned for suspicious activity. Facebook has strict policies to protect its users and prevent fraudulent activity, and new accounts that suddenly start running ads can raise red flags. To prevent this from happening, you need to gradually build trust with Facebook by taking specific actions before you start running paid ads.


Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to warm up your new Facebook account for ads:

1.​

• Use Real Information: Ensure your Facebook profile is fully completed with accurate, real information (name, photo, date of birth, and contact details). Facebook frowns upon fake profiles, and having a properly filled-out profile will help establish trust.
• Add a Profile Picture: Use a real photo of yourself, not a logo or stock image. This makes your profile look more authentic and helps avoid suspicions.
• Upload a Cover Photo: Add a relevant cover photo that matches the nature of your business or interests.
• Fill Out the “About” Section: Complete the "About" section with relevant information about your business, skills, or interests.

2.​

• Post Regularly: Begin posting organic content on your Facebook account that is relevant to your audience. This can be status updates, images, links, etc. Try to keep your posts engaging but avoid overposting.
• Like, Comment, and Share: Start engaging with other people’s posts. Like, comment, and share relevant posts from others. Doing this will help build natural engagement on your account, showing Facebook that your account is active and legitimate.
• Join Groups: Join Facebook groups related to your niche. Interact with posts and engage in discussions. This will help create organic connections and demonstrate that you are a genuine user.

3.​

• Add Friends Slowly: Don't rush to send out a large number of friend requests all at once. Aim to add a few friends every day over time. If you add too many friends too quickly, it can trigger Facebook’s spam filters.
• Send a Few Friend Requests: Begin by sending around 5-10 friend requests per day. Gradually increase this number over time, but don’t send too many at once.
• Interact with Your Friends: Like and comment on your friends’ posts. Share meaningful content and engage in conversations. This will help to make your account look more natural and less like a spam account.

4.​

• Set Up a Facebook Business Page: Rather than using a personal account for advertising, create a Facebook Business Page. This is the proper way to run ads on Facebook. Make sure the page is fully optimized with a profile picture, cover photo, business information, and some initial posts.
• Post on Your Business Page: Post relevant content on your business page. This will build a foundation for future ads. Don’t try to push sales immediately — instead, focus on providing valuable content that your target audience would find useful.

5.​

• Start with Small Ads: After you’ve spent some time warming up your account (2-4 weeks), you can begin running small, low-budget ads. Start with organic, non-sales-focused campaigns, such as page likes or engagement campaigns.
• Target Small Audiences: When you start running ads, keep your audience small and focused. Start with interest-based targeting rather than broad demographics.
• Avoid Sensitive Content: Initially, avoid running ads related to sensitive topics (e.g., gambling, adult content, weight loss, etc.), as these types of ads can easily get flagged and lead to account issues.

6.​

• Set Up Business Manager: Facebook Business Manager is the recommended way to manage Facebook ads. It provides more control over your ads and ensures your account is connected to your business (not just your personal profile).
• Create Ad Accounts: Inside the Business Manager, you can create ad accounts that are separate from your personal Facebook account. This provides an extra layer of security and professionalism for your advertising campaigns.

7.​

• Add a Valid Payment Method: Facebook will need a valid payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) to run ads. Ensure that the payment method you use is legitimate and associated with your business.
• Use a Verified Payment Method: Try to use a credit card that is in the business's name or linked to your business account to avoid Facebook’s security checks.

8.​

• Check for Warnings or Issues: Keep an eye on Facebook notifications for any issues or warnings. If Facebook flags your account for anything suspicious, address it immediately.
• Avoid Violating Facebook’s Policies: Review Facebook’s ad policies regularly to ensure you’re complying with them. Running ads that violate their terms can lead to penalties or bans.

9.​

• Gradual Growth: Building a reputable Facebook account for advertising takes time. Don’t rush the process. Give your account time to develop organic engagement and build trust with Facebook.
• Consistency: Consistently engage with the platform, post content, and run small ads over time. This will create a natural progression that won’t raise any alarms.

10.​

• Review Facebook’s Advertising Policies: Ensure you are familiar with Facebook’s ad policies, including what is allowed and not allowed (e.g., prohibited content like misleading ads, adult content, hate speech, etc.).
• Avoid Policy Violations: Any violation of Facebook's policies could result in account suspension or bans. Always double-check your ads before publishing to avoid violating Facebook's rules.

To prepare for major advertising campaigns, you should start by building a solid foundation and gradually increasing the account's credibility. The initial phase includes completing the profile, joining relevant groups, liking pages, and regularly interacting with posts, while gradually increasing these activities over time to create a natural activity history. Next is the "warming up" phase of the account by setting up a few test advertising campaigns with a small budget, for example, around a few dollars for each campaign, and keeping them running steadily for about 3-5 days.

What's the recommended timeframe to run the advertising campaign?

What's the recommended timeframe to run the advertising campaign?

The recommended time frame for running a Facebook ad campaign can vary depending on your campaign goals, the type of product/service you're promoting, and your target audience. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow to optimize your ad campaign and get the best results.

### 1. **Initial campaign run time (Test Campaign)**
- **Time period: 3-7 days**
- **Purpose**: Test and find an effective advertising strategy.

- **Reason**: Facebook needs some time to optimize your ad and collect enough engagement data (e.g. clicks, conversions, post engagement). During this time, Facebook's system will learn and determine the most effective target audience for your ad.
- **How**: You can start with small campaigns with a test budget to test elements like audience, images, ad messages, and run time.

### 2. **Long-term campaign run time**

- **Duration: 2-4 weeks**

- **Purpose**: Ads will be optimized gradually and reach a larger audience.

- **Why**: After a successful test campaign, you can scale up the campaign with a larger budget and run for 2 to 4 weeks. This is long enough for you to evaluate the effectiveness and adjust your strategy if necessary.

- **How**: You can start with ad campaigns for major events (such as sales seasons, new product launches, or special promotions) that last 2-4 weeks.

### 3. **Long-term and continuous campaigns**

- **Duration: 1-3 months or longer**

- **Purpose**: Maintain brand presence and create long-term awareness.

- **Why**: For long-term branding or product promotion campaigns, you can run ads continuously for a long period of time (e.g. 1-3 months). These campaigns can focus on maintaining customer engagement and creating long-term relationships.

- **How**: You can set a monthly budget or use automated ad strategies to optimize your campaign over the long term.

### 4. **Campaign timing for special events or promotions**

- **Timeframe: 7-14 days before the event**

- **Purpose**: Advertise for specific events or promotions (discounts, festivals, new product launches, etc.).

- **Why**: For special events, ad campaigns need to run for a short time to create attention and stimulate immediate shopping. You need enough time for the ad to reach the audience and create effectiveness.

- **How**: Start the campaign at least 7 days before the event, and maybe increase the budget in the last few days to maximize results.

### 5. **A/B Testing Time (Split Testing)**
- **Time period: 3-7 days**
- **Purpose**: Compare different elements of your ad campaign (images, text, target audience) to find the most effective element.
- **Why**: A/B testing helps you optimize your ads by testing different variations and seeing which one delivers the best results.
- **How**: Run a test campaign for about 3-7 days, collect data, and analyze the results to decide which strategy is right for you.

---

### Some factors to consider when determining the campaign duration:
- **Budget**: Campaigns with large budgets can run for longer because Facebook will need time to optimize the campaign.
- **Campaign objective**: If you just want to increase web traffic, the campaign can last 1-2 weeks. If your goal is long-term branding, your campaign may last several months.

- **Target Audience**: If you are targeting a broad audience, you may need more time for Facebook to find an effective audience.

- **Interaction Frequency**: If you get a lot of positive interactions from users, Facebook will quickly optimize your ads and make your campaign more effective.

### **Conclusion**
The length of time your Facebook advertising campaign will depend on your campaign goals. For an initial test campaign, you should start with 3-7 days. Once you have data, you can extend your campaign to 2-4 weeks to optimize and evaluate its effectiveness. For long-term or branding campaigns, you can run your ads for about 1-3 months. Remember to monitor your performance and adjust your strategy as needed to achieve the best results.

When creating a new advertising account, buy an advertising account, leave it dormant for 2-3 days, then start with a campaign and have images and videos that comply with FB's policies, start with a small spending level and then gradually increase the budget when you get good results.

 

[Alexan De]

To ensure your new Facebook ad account is up and running, you should launch a simple ad campaign with policy-compliant content and maintain it for a short time with a low budget before launching official product promotion campaigns. This action helps "warm up" the account.
