Yes, it's possible to keep Facebook campaigns active with $0 spend by setting the daily budget to $0 or pausing all ad sets while keeping the campaign status as active. No ads will deliver, and no charges occur. Useful for structure testing or cloning setups. No blackhat methods involved.

Unlimited. But depends on his setup. Unlimited Facebook account need, business manager and bin need for this threshold method.

Technically you can keep campaigns running with a very low or zero daily budget, but they won’t deliver impressions or spend anything. They’ll just sit there in an active state until you add budget or broaden the targeting. So “zero-cost” is possible in terms of setup, but it won’t generate any real results.

Even with a zero budget or very restrictive targeting, campaigns can stay marked as “active.” However — because there’s no actual spend or reach — you won’t see any real activity. On the surface it looks like the campaign is live, but behind the scenes nothing happens.

zero cost campaigns work best for brand awareness or small promotions, but scaling usually need paid ads.

You can set a $0 budget to keep campaigns active, but they won't deliver any results unless you're using organic methods like Facebook Groups.

Bạn có thể duy trì các chiến dịch hoạt động với chi phí 0 đô la nếu chúng không mang lại hiệu quả. Nhưng một khi Meta Platforms bắt đầu hiển thị quảng cáo trong Trình quản lý quảng cáo Facebook, bạn sẽ bị tính phí. Không có cách nào hợp pháp để chạy quảng cáo thực sự miễn phí.

no bro not really possible, on Meta Platforms ads you need to spend to keep campaigns running, you can keep them active with very low budget but not zero, otherwise they just won’t deliver.
