What are social media ads?
Paid content shown to an audience you choose, in exchange for a budget.
Ads let you reach people your organic content can't, through targeting. You set an objective (awareness, traffic, messages, sales), an audience, a budget and a duration.
The best ads often come from content that already did well organically.
