What you'll actually learn

Not theory. The exact skills clients pay for — taught with the same diagrams we use inside the app.

Three-tier campaign structureA Campaign holds the objective. It contains one or more Ad Sets which control audience, budget, placement, and schedule. Each Ad Set contains one or more Ads which hold the creative, copy, and link.CampaignObjective (Sales, Leads, Traffic…)CBO budget (optional)Ad Set AAudience · Lookalike 1%Budget · PlacementSchedule · OptimisationAd Set BAudience · Custom — visitorsBudget · PlacementSchedule · OptimisationAd Set CAudience · BroadBudget · PlacementSchedule · OptimisationAd 1Creative · ImageCopy · LinkAd 2Creative · VideoCopy · LinkAd 3Creative · CarouselCopy · LinkEach setting lives at exactly one tier — change at the wrong tier and it applies to everything below.

Build campaigns that scale

How it works

Three steps from zero to landing your first paying client.

01

Learn the fundamentals

Audiences, pixels, creative, budgets, attribution — taught visually.

How the Meta Pixel sends dataA visitor browses the website. The Pixel snippet fires events to Meta. Meta uses those events to power audiences, optimisation, and reporting in Ads Manager.🌐WebsiteVisitor takes actionPXMeta PixelJS snippet fires eventMMetaReceives + processesAMAds ManagerAudiences · ReportingStandard events you'll see flow throughPageViewViewContentAddToCartInitiateCheckoutPurchase

My CPM jumped 40% overnight — what should I check first?

Three things, in order:

  1. Audience overlap — did you launch a new ad set hitting the same people?
  2. Frequency — anything above 2.5 in a 7-day window pushes CPM up.
  3. Auction competition — check if your category has a seasonal spike right now.

Why not just YouTube?

Free tutorials are great for one-off tricks. They can't teach you how to think like a media buyer. Here's how AdMentor compares to the alternatives.

Peek inside a real lesson

See what a lesson actually looks like

Short, visual, and tied to one decision you can make tomorrow. Here's the first third of "Choosing the right campaign objective".

Module 02 · Campaign setup 7 min read Video included

Choosing the right campaign objective

The objective you pick at the campaign level tells Meta which of its 15+ optimisation algorithms to spend your budget against. Pick the wrong one and you'll get traffic when you wanted purchases — or worse, pay for clicks that never convert.

There are six objectives in the new Outcome-Driven Ads Experience. Most beginners default to Traffic because it sounds safe. It almost never is. Here's the decision framework we use on every client account:

  1. What does the business actually need this week — leads, sales, or reach?
  2. Do you have a tracked conversion event with at least 50 weekly fires?
  3. Where in the funnel is this audience — cold, warm, or retargeting?

Run those three questions in order and the objective picks itself. We'll walk through each one with real account screenshots in the next section…

The rest of this lesson — including the decision tree and video walkthrough — unlocks the moment you sign up.
