# How to Create a Campaign

Generally, advertisers are guided to use the self-service platform via a shared link, but you can also set up campaigns internally.

1. To start, click **Create Campaign** at the top right corner of the **Bookings** menu.
2. Set the campaign product and duration, then enter the campaign name.

3. Select the ad account that will be used to track and share the campaign performance.

* If you haven't registered ad account, go to **Console>> Settings>> View My Ad Platform>> Add the Name and Link of the advertiser** to create an ad account.&#x20;
* This will allow you to select advertiser account when creating campaigns.

4. Choose a payment method for the campaign.

* **Manual Payment**: Ask the advertiser to register their billing information in their ad account for invoice issuance. The advertiser must manually top up their account before running ads, and after the campaign, Adrop will pay the publisher.
* **Automatic Payment:** Adrop will handle automatic billing by charging the advertiser’s saved payment method (e.g., card) and will settle monthly payouts to the media partner.

5. Agree to the terms and click **Create Campaign** to proceed.
