How To Set Up Profitable TikTok Ads In 2024 | Best TikTok Ads Tutorial

Introduction

TikTok has rapidly emerged as a powerful platform for advertising, often providing better results than traditional platforms like Facebook. In this comprehensive guide, I'll walk you through the process of setting up a TikTok ad campaign effectively, from choosing your advertising objective to publishing your first ad.

Getting Started with TikTok Ad Manager

  1. Access TikTok Ad Manager: Before diving into the ad setup, you need to ensure your TikTok Ad Manager is correctly set up. If you haven’t done this yet, click the link in the video description for a step-by-step tutorial on how to create your TikTok Ad Manager from anywhere in the world.

  2. Creating Your First Campaign: Once you are in the TikTok Ad Manager, you'll arrive at a dashboard that looks something like this. To kick off your campaign, click on the "Campaign" tab and then on the "Create" button to get started.

Choosing Your Advertising Objective

On the objective selection screen, you are given three main categories to choose from:

  • Awareness: For reaching a larger audience.
  • Consideration: For driving traffic to your website or landing page.
  • Conversion: This is ideal for purchasing products, lead generation, or promoting your app.

For this guide, let's select the Video Views objective, which aims to increase engagement with your video content. After selecting your desired objective, click "Continue" to proceed.

Setting Your Budget

You can opt for either a Daily Budget, which caps spending over 24 hours, or a Lifetime Budget, which spreads your spending over the duration you set. For instance, you might set a daily budget of £50. After setting your budget, click "Continue".

Targeting Your Audience

In the audience targeting section, you can:

  • Select Locations: Default is the UK based on your account setup. You can choose specific countries or regions.
  • Choose Demographics: Define your target audience by age, gender, languages, and spending power.
  • Include/Exclude Interests: You can also target users based on interests and behaviors or by the device they use (iOS or Android).

You can also schedule your ad by selecting specific start and end times, or let it run continuously.

Setting Up Your Ad

In this section, you'll set up the actual ad:

  1. Choosing an Ad Format: You can opt for a single video ad. Upload your video and provide a compelling description (e.g. "Please watch and share").

  2. Call to Action: Choose to display a dynamic call to action by turning it on if you deem it necessary.

  3. Destination URL: If applicable, you can direct users to your website. However, since our objective is Video Views, this option won't be available.

  4. AI Generated Content: If the ad includes AI-generated content, indicate that. Ensure all options are set correctly before finalizing the ad setup.

Once everything looks good, click "Publish". Note that you can review your settings and make adjustments before going live.

Conclusion

And there you have it! Setting up a TikTok ad is an intuitive process, especially if you're familiar with other platforms like Facebook Ads. Remember that choosing the right objective is crucial for achieving remarkable results. TikTok is a dynamic platform, and with the right strategies in place, you can drive significant engagement and traffic.
