How to Run Facebook Ads to Get Student Leads – A Complete Guide for Educators

Created by Learner’s Capsule for educators who want easy, done-for-you Facebook ad solutions to grow their student base.

👋Introduction

Facebook ads are one of the most effective and affordable ways to get student leads for your classes or coaching business. Whether you teach Vedic Maths, coding, or language skills, Facebook lets you reach the right parents and students directly.

And the best part? You don’t need to hire expensive agencies or learn complicated tools. You can run ads yourself — easily and quickly.

At Learner’s Capsule, we provide everything done-for-you. You just have to copy, paste, and launch!


1️⃣Step 1: Set Up Your Meta Business Suite

  • Go to https://business.facebook.com
  • Create your Business Account if you don’t have one yet.
  • Add your Facebook Page linked to your coaching or academy.
  • Optionally, connect your Instagram account for better reach.

2️⃣Step 2: Set Up Your Ad Account

  • In Meta Business Suite, go to Business Settings > Ad Accounts.
  • Create a new ad account specifically for your campaigns.
  • Set your country, time zone, and currency (₹ Indian Rupees).
  • Add a payment method (Credit/Debit card, or UPI).

3️⃣Step 3: Understand Campaign Structure

Facebook ads have three layers. Here’s a simple way to understand:

  • Campaign = Your goal (e.g., Get Leads for your classes)
  • Ad Set = Who you want to show ads to + your budget
  • Ad = The creative — image, text, and call-to-action button

Think of it like a funnel:

Campaign → Ad Set → Ad

4️⃣Step 4: Choose the Right Campaign Goal

For educators new to Facebook ads, the easiest campaign goals are:

  • Lead Generation – Facebook collects student & parent contact info for you.
  • Messages (WhatsApp) – Lets you chat directly with interested leads.

We recommend Lead Generation to start with as it simplifies follow-up.

5️⃣Step 5: Add the Targeting (Use Our Pre-Made Template)

Here’s a sample targeting setup to promote Vedic Maths Classes. Just copy and paste it into your Ad Set targeting:
