If you’re new to my channel, my name is Ben Heath. I’m the founder and owner of heathmedia.co.... a marketing agency that offers done-for-you services, coaching and educational resources, all with the objective of delivering exceptional marketing results for our clients and customers.
Over the past 9 years we’ve spent more than £50,000,000 on paid social ad campaigns generating more than £200,000,000 in revenue.
We’ve worked with more than 2,000 businesses directly from all over the world and in just about every niche you can think of. And we’ve helped educate hundreds of thousands of business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs.
How I got here…
17 yrs old: Started my first business selling wristbands with two school friends. I made $0.
18 yrs old: Started my first ecommerce business selling second hand video games. I made $0.
19 yrs old: Joined a network marketing company (would not recommend it). Was told I’d be rich if I signed up 8 people. I signed up 26 people in 3 months. I made $0.
21 yrs old: Dropped out of Bath University to start an app development company. I made less than $5,000 in 2 years!
23 yrs old: Started Heath Media, my marketing agency. I made $0 for the first 3 years.
26 yrs old: Went all in on building a personal brand within the marketing space. I passed $100k/year.
28 yrs old: My personal brand allowed me to attract the best talent in the world. Heath Media became an industry leading Meta ads agency, with an exceptional team and an excellent reputation. We crossed $1m/year.
31 yrs old: Today I teach over 800,000 business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs how to get insane results with digital marketing. Heath Media is a 50+ team of world class talent, working directly with over 400 clients every year. We’ve now crossed the $5m/year mark.
To all the struggling marketers and entrepreneurs… I was an entrepreneur for 9 years before I could even pay the bills with my own business. 5 years after that I have more success and more fun than I could have ever dreamed of.
It takes perseverance, analysis and learning from the right person.
If you took the time to read this far, you have what it takes to crush it with your marketing.
I hope to help you speed up that journey and come along for the ride.
Keep going,
Ben

I hate how complicated Facebook became
@Lisa2motivateeI need help
Me too its nuts. So over complicated
It indeed is complicated, worth to go through for sure because alot of people dont want to go through all that information. Which means fb is less saturated in a way. But thats my personal opinion. Good luck you guys.😁
I’m pulling out my hair trying to set up a new business account for my work and add previous accounts to it. I want to quit 🤣😭
Man i thought it was just me 😂
I have been tearing my hair out for a week trying to set up something so simple (only because FB makes it incredibly difficult). Thank you SO MUCH. I am no longer twisted into the fetal position. You are now my FB ads guru. I just subscribed -- I was seriously thinking of hirirng someone to set up my [very simple] ad campaigns but with your help, I think I can dive right in!
Thanks again!
You are very welcome :) Good luck!
@@BenHeathI’m using safari and my instagram on Facebook not connecting in the webpage, and keep giving “ pop-up windows blocked”, what’s the deal with it ?
I am sorry, but this is not simple.... trying to make a pasive income and this ... this is a full on business. Next thing you need is a LLC and you are back to that 9-17 you been ttrying to escape.

Thank you, Ben! Your tutorials are so professional, perfectly paced and easy to follow.
Question: I'm trying to add my IG account to my Business Suite, but it does nothing when I click the 'add' button. Might it have anything to do with the fact that my IG account was opened with an entirely different email address?
thank you... i was so confused
has meta changed its interface since your video - i followed every step but i can't reach the screen you have on minute 2:30
Awesome Video Ben! I'm off to the 2023 tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to explain each step so thoroughly. Beginner here. :)
Glad it was helpful!
@@BenHeath I might as well ask now while I know you’re on the platform. I watched another video that talked about your magnet being categorized under the engagement option. I’m going through your video and it says to select the sales or leads. Is that still the current strategy you would use? My strategy is to use one magnet ad, and then 10 other ads to float in front of my potential client over the next five days. Basically it’s an 11 ad campaign. Should I Select leads or sales? Thank you so much in advance!!!
To elaborate, my business is to help other landscaping companies Grow and scale to 7 figures (coaching)
Thank you so much I've literally been pulling my hair out before I saw this video thanks a lot extremely helpful
Thank you! Took me a good 4 hours to understand that Meta Ads Manager and Meta Business Suites are 2 completely things lol
I can use some help, I updated to Meta and now my hosting page lost the ability to admin my music page and my music page is just out there floating around.
Hi ,
I have created a page from my facebook personal account and i cannot find it on meta suite or meta ads. It is only my personal page. What should i do?
i cant seem to make the page's own ad account and add it to business portfolio that we did in the start... when i open my ads manager it shows only my personal profile's ad account
do you have to use Meta suite for monetization check and all making money thing? also there is a tab on meta under facebook page says "Create a Business Account" is this to manage one page or multiple pages? ALSO do I have to create business account or optional?
what if it says payments disabled? yet I do have a meta adds mangaer site where I can create ads? it is very confusin...
After creating a new ad account, how does that become connected to the FB page in our business portfolio? In other words, how do we use our new ad account to run ads on behalf of a specific page?
Ben I m having an issue. Trying to create the ad account for the page and not use my personal account. How can I do this?
Hey. Mine said something about my advertising access being restricted. Can you pls help me?
Hi Ben, Thanks for all your effort but my facebook business page doesn't match your page so I am completely lost
Same here!!!
Hi Ben, Great videos, thank you!
At 4:10 you talk about adding an existing page. I've been pulling my hair out on this one! I am an admin on a Page which also has a connected Instagram account and I am trying to move them into a new Business Account. When I enter the page into The field and click "Next" it asks me to confirm and click the 'Claim Page and Instagram" button, agreeing to terms etc. This is where it fails. The pop-up window tries to Auth on Instagram but is giving an error. I am already logged into IG in the same browser so not sure why it's trying to Auth again. The result is it won't complete the process. Any insight would be very much appreciated!
Greetings Ben! thanks for this great video, could you kindly share the link you use to enter your Business Manager Dashboard...mine looks different than yours, thanks!
Thank you so much, much needed. Subscribed !!
Super awesome video, I followed it step by step and set up everything now.. Thank you so much for the video.
Glad it helped :)
Hi awesome video!! But I can't claim my Ad Acoount because of
"Ad account has a stored balance. Prepay accounts are not allowed to be part of a business at this time." one question from me..should I create new Ad account?
Hey Ben! So I create meta business manager with my Facebook profile but for the Facebook page do I have to create a Facebook page of the product I am selling? And for instagram do I also need to make page for product I’m selling or can I connect my personal instagram?
Hi thanks, So i want to manage posts, Videos ect. for my client's Instagram account. But when i try to add it, it asks me for the login details. then i believe i have to put the username and password of my clients. Is there another way to do so? thank you
Hello! I created business account for the business I work for, they already had a FB page. I finally managed to create the business account and now when I try to add a payment method it is automatically showing my personal details /expired/ that I had put in years ago for something totally different. Is that normal? How to move forward?
Hi Ben thank you so much. So you can add in numeral facebook accounts from clients and after their consent be able to post for them. How about instagram accounts of clients? Does it work the same way? I get the notice that I can only add one instagram account. What does that mean?
I cant add a card as a payment method. I’ve tried different cards and made different accounts but nothing works
What do we put in the place of account id
At 2:30 I wish you had shown the URL as well - what I am seeing (even after clicking on Settings) does not look like what you are showing :-)
awesome video. I can not add assets is not letting me. any clue guys?
Hi there … I have the same problem here, did you find any solution?
Thank you Ben for the video. My challenge is that FB restricted me even BEFORE I create a business manager account! I mean when I was creating a business account, I got this error that "Your advertising access is restricted
You’re no longer allowed to advertise across Facebook’s apps and services. You can’t run ads, manage advertising assets, create ad accounts or create business portfolios". I hadn't have any ads account or business manager account before. what should I do? :(
Thanks for the awesome info! Facebook wanted me to send my ID to confirm my identity, as an admin, otherwise I can't continue to create meta account.
Yes they've introduced measures like that recently.
What if you already have a personal account thats managing a business account but neither of them are actual business managers ? seems like FB makes you start a new business page just to be a manager or is there another way ? can you turn an existing account into a business manager account of an existing business page. ?
Awesome! Should my account overview have my personal FB page? I am looking at Account Overview / Facebook / Catalog and it is showing Products for ( my name) personal catalog. I thought I should only show any product information under my FB business page. I am also showing an ad account that has my facebook profile pic and name and I am sure this is incorrect. Getting it deleted is a nightmare. Do you offer 1:1 assistance with getting my business suite and manager setup correctly? I've been messing with it too much that I somehow have two Business accounts with the same name and different amount of assets along with my personal FB profile page with one asset and apparently I ran an ad under it but that ad has all my business page info on it.

Account overview will show all the accounts that you have a role and permission to access.
Hi Ben
Pls do I need to download the meta app on my phone?
While trying to create by business manager account I'm given the prompt that can't create one because my advertising access i restricted. How do I fix this?
How do I set up so I can manage my clients fb pages and advertising? Is there an agency biz manager?
Is it counterproductive to run more than one retargeting Ad at a time to the same audiences? For example, product testimonials from different people via video targeted against the same retarget audiences- website visitors, IG, FB?
No, I would actually argue the opposite. It's helpful because it takes longer for your ads to fatigue.
What does it mean when you can’t add additional assets yet? In my case, my IG & Facebook has been added however I’m not able to access the commerce to add my products on my website for IG shopping. Any advice?
Hey man, I really appreciate the updated guide. It's so strange though, when I'm helping my client through this, I'm in meta business but I don't see any of these options here... I go to business settings and then it takes me back to the meta login again? Also it won't let me add someone to the account that's not already a friend. Perplexed over here
I have the same ( or similar) issues
after a couple of hick ups at the name and email column , it blocked me by saying "You have reached the limit for the number of Businesses you can create at this time" - but i've yet to even pass the registering
I am a Cameroonian and the FCFA is not listed among the different currencies. What do I select?
When I try to add my “ad account” it tells me I can do that “at this time as there are personal payments orders on it” How do I overcome this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
I had same issue but thomethics helped me it can be so frustrated but thomethics will fix it for you he is a verified Meta agent

What if I have three businesses? What will I put as the business name for my business manager? Sorry if this question sounds dumb.
Great Tutorial, too bad nothing in my Facebook is structured like in this video ... I have to puzzle everything together myself sort of. Facebook is really horrendous these days.
Hello Ben, thanks for the video. I did as u showed in the video. The problem is, my Business manager got hacked immediately. And i cannot delete my manager, i have tried everything. Do you have any tips?
Ah that sucks - you'll have to get in touch with Meta for help with that one I'm afraid.
Great video dude!
Do I need to make a new fake fb profile, to connect with the fb fanpage? I see some people recommend to buy a fb account with history. To bypass the "restriction" part.
Ben, how many business manager accounts can we currently have under one personal profile?
Thank you Sir ❤
that i have task to create a facebook login for business app and to get permissions like email, it is asking for business verification but i dont have any business i was just a developer trying to use facebook Graph API please help me with this issue how to get permissions for business acc without business verification.
Hello bro. Am starting out as a social media manager and I've been following through your videos however my account was restricted from running advertisement also one of my clients was forever banned from running ads. Am so stressed, do I create another Facebook account and set up a business account?😢. Please advice, thanks bro

Hello, I had a page, but they took me to the business manager, one of them took me to it, but it seems that I gave permission in the manager, but I don't know how to fill it, it opens at all, help me if you can
Hi ben thank you for content day after day it be amazing i Jsut want to ask you about some marketers say now about all lookalike and custome audiences and interest all of these things are dead and without any meaning and we need just to use broad targetting what is your opinion about that ??
Thanks a lot :)
There are scenarios in which broad targeting works well. But it's not every scenario. I think they are being too simplistic. I would check my videos on that topic for more info on that :)
What if you don’t have a personal Facebook account , can you just make a personal account but have your business logo and name for it ?
Hi Ben, love the videos. Just started learning :D I have a Meta Business account already and I guess I set it up under my personal account. Is there a way to transfer that? I made a business Meta Business account now so it seems like i've got too much going on. Any help would be appreciated.
ON Instagram
Thanks so much for this! Your videos are always enlightening.
Please my question is this: Can you have One Ad Account for all the facebook business pages you manage?
Happy to help :)
I wouldn't recommend it. I would have one ad account per business.
Do I need an Ad account to boost my instagram posts or do I not need it when I don't need complex advertising
You can just boost from within IG. For more complex stuff you will want to get everything set up.
Hi quick question, after creating a new ad account. I clicked on billing, and it says “failed creating new ad account”
Hi, I have a question. Why can’t I see the post people are replying to in my meta business suite app ?? And how can I fix this ?
Im about to manage a business account.
Do I manage it under my account or the business owner shall provide it?
TIA
hahah just in time before i go to bed ..Hope your well
All good :) Hope you are too.
@@BenHeath yes i cant complain :)
hey i wonder if you can help... i have a facebook account and i want to link that to my ads, but when i click add assets connect facebook page, claim an exciting my name or URL doesn't show, any tips i'd be so grateful?
Hi Ben. I created the account but immediately I created the account, it was restricted for security reasons. Iv tried requesting review and they still did not release my account, what do I do
sameeeeee i dont know what to do anymore.is the name u used in creating the business account not the same as the name in the personal account you used to make that business account?
Ben - awesome video. I set my account up wrong awhile back. I have a business page and I went to create a business account in business manager and I got the message unable to create account. You have reached the limit for the number of businesses you can create at this time. I have been on chat with FB for at least two hours today. Any advice on my next step? I need to get this worked out and I am not sure what I should do.
Why do I keep getting this message when trying to change my username? It's very annoying because I am the owner and have connected my account properly. "The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page." Thank you!!
Me too

Thank you Ben! I wish I have seen this video earlier... I have a question: I have created Meta Business manager and lost control over everything: my business facebook, Instagram. Is it possible to remove everything and start from the scratch with my personal account, my online shop's account and Instagram account? Can I delete Meta business and Add manager without deleting my Facebook and Instagram pages?
I have a similar issue...what did you do?

Thank you so much Ben! Quick questions, as im about to set up my business account - If i run fb ads, it will show to audiance as my personal name or business name then?
Did you get the answer to this question? I have the same question
You just helped me claim so many of my pages. I kept thinking I did it wrong and had to start over. I’m like a agency for my own businesses. I need help with clients that I work with. How can I utilize your services? I work with inmate and disabled authors and looking to scale soon with my state but I want the best for my clients. It’s nonprofit so I would be paying that’s why I wouldn’t refer them until they finish the program or doesn’t go through it.

Hello I was unable to create my buisness manager account when I click create button it shows you have been restricted from running ads pls help
@thisiselegantlife yes I really need help have been unable to process my buisness manager account
Hey Ben, question related to currency for the payment method. I'm in South Africa and the payment method on my website is through PayPal, and because it isn't yet available in ZA, I've selected USD as payment method for the item. However Facebook requires payment currency for their payment method but I don't know if I want to permanently select USD or Rands, as one can't change it later. What would be the best to do considering that I sell digital products online, which I want to be available worldwide. Looking forward to your response!
I have a business account and want to give ownership of one of the pages to another business. I first need to create a second business account to do that and am having trouble making that happen. Any ideas?

Hi Ben! Great video! I wish I had theese information earlyer. My private facebook profile is permanently restricted from advertising and I still don't know the reason, for 9 months now. I tried everything but nothing resolved my problem. What do you suggest me to do? To use for ex. my husbands profile for work or? I know I can't opend my own because I already have one. I don't want to delete it because I have it for 15 years now and I have many dear memories on ti. Thanks

Hi Ben, is it better to create a new ad account from my business manager or pull in my personal ad account?
I would add your personal ad account. Particularly if you are advertising the same busienss

Hi man❤❤💥💥 , can I use your account to launching my ads ? how much it cost ?
That's not something we offer I'm afraid.
Does anyone know how I can run ads to my personal instagram page? Every time I try to create an ad inside ads manager, it asks me to select a facebook page, but my facebook account is a personal one and not a business page. I'm trying to run ads under my personal brand. Please help
Ben, in all of your videos, I have yet to see anything about text overlay on image ads. Can you share any guidance on this topic?
Yes I would like to learn about this too
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
