How to Run Your First Ad Campaign on GifChat

Getting started with GifChat advertising is straightforward. Whether you are a solo founder testing a new product or a marketing team scaling an established brand, the process from signup to live campaign takes minutes, not days. Here is how it works.

Step 1: Create Your Advertiser Account

Head to gifchat.app/get-started and sign up as an advertiser. You will need a business email and basic company information. Verification is quick, and you can begin building your first campaign immediately after account creation.

Step 2: Fund Your Wallet

GifChat uses a wallet-based billing model. You top up your wallet with funds, and campaigns draw from that balance as they run. The minimum total campaign budget is $500, with a $50 daily minimum. This model means no surprise credit card charges and no billing disputes. When your wallet runs dry, campaigns auto-pause instantly.

Step 3: Build Your Campaign

From the advertiser dashboard, create a new campaign. Upload your creative (image or video, up to 50MB), write your headline and description, set your call-to-action button text and destination URL, and configure your geographic targeting. The entire process is guided and takes under five minutes.

Step 4: Set Budget and Schedule

Choose your total campaign budget and daily spend cap. Set start and end dates, or leave the campaign open-ended. GifChat will pace your spend evenly across the campaign duration so you get consistent delivery without burning through your budget on day one.

Step 5: Submit for Review and Go Live

Every campaign goes through a human review for brand safety and content quality. Most campaigns are approved within hours. Once approved, your ad goes live and starts appearing in the GifChat feed. Track performance in real time from your dashboard: impressions, clicks, CTR, and spend are all visible as they happen.
