budget
?Start with whatever you can afford, but know the limitations of a low budget.
Ideally, you should set at least a daily budget that allows you to get at least **50 conversions in 7 days**, helping the ad set to exit the Learning Phase.
Don’t have that much budget? Start with a Sales Campaign with Conversion events like ‘Add to Cart’ or ‘View Content’.
It's still better than Traffic or Engagement campaigns.
