Congratulations! A brand loves your content so much, they’ve requested to purchase the advertising rights to promote your Paid Partnership as a Branded Content Ad.

This means you’ll get rewarded again! After all, the brand’s not only amplifying your content to a new audience, they’re also leveraging your name, photo and account - which has a value.

So where exactly could your content appear if you allow it? Depending on the objective of the brand, your ads can appear on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Audience Network.

We’ve listed below, the options a brand will have, when they go to promote your content as an ad in their Facebook Ads Manager:

Branded Content Ads Placements
