Facebook Ads Mastery 2026 – From €0 to €10,000 in revenue in 30 days

Facebook Ads in 2026 will be more expensive, complex, and competitive than ever before. But they'll also be more profitable—if you know how. In this ultimate guide, I'll show you how to go from €0 to €10,000 in revenue with Facebook Ads in just 30 days.

Why Facebook Ads will still work in 2026

Despite rising costs and increasing competition, Facebook Ads remain the most profitable advertising medium for online businesses. Why?

3 billion active users

Almost half the world's population is on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Your target audience is there – guaranteed.

Precise targeting

No other platform knows its users as well as Meta. Age, gender, interests, purchasing behavior, income – all targetable.

Scalability without limits

From €50/day to €5,000/day in just a few weeks. No other advertising medium scales that quickly.

Facebook Ads Basics 2026

The 3 levels of the Ads Manager

Level 1: Campaign

Here you choose your goal: traffic, conversions, sales. For e-commerce, always: sales.

Level 2: Ad group

Here you define: target audience, budget, placement, timeline. The core of your strategy.

Level 3: Display

Here you create: image/video, text, headline, call to action. What your customers see.

The most important metrics

CPM (Cost per 1000 Impressions)

What does it cost to reach 1,000 people? Average in 2026: €12-18. The lower, the better.

CTR (Click-Through-Rate)

How many people click on your ad? Target: >2%. Below 1% = poor ad quality.

CPC (Cost per Click)

What does a click cost? Average in 2026: €0.50-€2. The lower, the better.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

The most important metric! For every euro spent, how much do you earn? Goal: Minimum 3:1 (€3 revenue for every €1 spent).

The 30-day strategy for €10,000 in revenue

Week 1: Testing phase (budget: €350)

Days 1-3: Target group tests

Create 5 different target audiences:

• interest-based (e.g. "online shopping")
• Lookalike 1% (based on website visitors)
• Lookalike 1% (based on buyers)
• Retargeting (website visitors in the last 30 days)
• Broad Audience (a wide target audience, AI optimized)

Budget per target group: €20/day. Run for 3 days.

Days 4-7: Creative Tests

Identified your best target audience? Now test 5 different creatives:

• Product photo with discount badge
• Lifestyle photo (product in use)
• Video (15-second product demo)
• Carousel (3-5 products)
• UGC (User Generated Content / Testimonial)

Budget: €50/day distributed among the best target group.

Week 2: Optimization phase (Budget: €700)

Days 8-10: Scaling Winning Combos

You now have your best combination: target audience + creative. Now scale:

• Day 8: €75/day
• Day 9: €100/day
• Day 10: €125/day

Important: Do not increase by more than 20% per day!

Days 11-14: Activate retargeting

Now you have traffic. Time for retargeting:

• Shopping cart abandoners (last 7 days)
• Product page visitors (last 14 days)
• Website visitors (last 30 days)

Budget Retargeting: €25/day extra.

Week 3: Scaling phase (Budget: €1,400)

Days 15-21: Scaling aggressively

If ROAS >3:1, scale aggressively:

• Day 15: €150/day
• Day 17: €200/day
• Day 19: €250/day
• Day 21: €300/day

Simultaneously: Test new creatives (20% budget for testing).

Week 4: Profit Phase (Budget: €2,100)

Days 22-30: Maximum Output

Your system is now running. Optimize daily:

• Pausing bad ads (ROAS <2:1)
• Boost good ads (ROAS >4:1)
• Testing new target groups (10% budget)
• Increase retargeting (30% budget)

Budget: Keep a constant €300/day.

The calculation: From budget to revenue

Total budget 30 days: €4,550

• Week 1: €350
• Week 2: €700
• Week 3: €1,400
• Week 4: €2,100

At ROAS 3:1 (conservative)

€4,550 × 3 = €13,650 revenue

At ROAS 4:1 (realistic after optimization)

€4,550 × 4 = €18,200 revenue

At ROAS 5:1 (with perfect setup)

€4,550 × 5 = €22,750 revenue

A target of €10,000 is therefore very conservative!

The 7 biggest Facebook Ads mistakes of 2026

Mistake #1: Budget too small

"I'm testing with €5/day." That doesn't work. Facebook needs data. Minimum: €20/day per ad group.

Mistake #2: Testing too many variables at once

Never test the target audience AND the creative simultaneously. Only change one variable at a time.

Mistake #3: Giving up too soon

"No sales after 2 days, I'm taking a break." Facebook needs a 3-7 day learning phase. Be patient!

Mistake #4: Poor Creative

A mobile phone photo of the product? No. Professional photos, videos, UGC – that's what gets converted.

Mistake #5: No retargeting strategy

95% don't buy on their first visit. Without retargeting, you're giving away 95% of your potential.

Mistake #6: Wrong target audience

"I'm targeting everyone aged 18-65." Too broad. Find your niche. Test precisely.

Error #7: No tracking pixels

You can't optimize without Facebook Pixel. Installation is mandatory!

Advanced strategies for 5-figure revenues

The CBO strategy (Campaign Budget Optimization)

Let Facebook automatically distribute your budget to the best-performing ad groups. Works with a budget of €200/day or more.

The Lookalike Ladder

Start with 1% lookalike audience, then 2%, then 3-5%. Keep expanding, increasing reach.

The Creative Rotation

New creatives every 7 days. Prevents ad fatigue.

The upsell funnel

First sell the cheaper product (€20), then upsell to a more expensive one (€50). This increases the average order value.
