Launching your first campaign

Before you start

• Business information — name, description, and contact details
• Ad creative — a headline, body text, and an image or logo
• Target countries, cities, or device types for your campaign
• A funding method — card, bank transfer, or mobile money

Step 1: create your account

1. 1Go to adscod.com/auth/register
2. 2Choose the Advertiser account type during sign-up
3. 3Fill in your business details
4. 4Verify your email address

Step 2: fund your wallet

1. 1Go to Wallet in your dashboard
2. 2Top up via card, bank transfer, or mobile money — minimum spend to launch is $10
3. 3Remember that your wallet balance is the hard cap on what your campaigns can spend

Step 3: build the campaign

1. 1Click Create Campaign in your dashboard
2. 2Upload your ad creative — headline, body text, and image
3. 3Set your cost-per-click bid, starting at $0.40
4. 4Set your total campaign budget, and a daily cap if you want one

Step 4: set your targeting

1. 1Choose the countries and cities you want to reach
2. 2Filter by device type if your offer has a mobile-only or desktop-only funnel
3. 3Review the estimated reach before launch

Start with a modest budget and a competitive bid. You can raise either at any time once you can see how the ad actually performs — nothing about the campaign is locked except the pricing model, which fixes permanently once the campaign has spend.

Step 5: launch

1. 1Review your creative, bid, and targeting
2. 2Publish the campaign — a draft never serves until you do
3. 3Argus matches your ad to relevant creator bio pages and publisher placements automatically
