Ads

Promote your posts by making them into ads.
Take your posts to the next level by promoting them as ads. We currently only support Twitter Promoted Tweets. Additional social networks are coming soon.
How It Works
Promoting a Tweet turns a Tweet into an advertising campaign. You can set a budget, target demographics, and more.
In the Twitter Ads Manager you'll create a campaign and ads groups. Tweets added to a group are "promoted" and will automatically run based on the settings of the campaign and group they are contained in. 
You can create up to 100 ads groups in a campaign and 200 ads in an ads groups. 
After you create the campaign and at least one ads group, you can use the API to promote Tweets. Any Tweet you posted to your account can be promoted, whether it came through Ayrshare or was manually posted.
After submitting the promoted Tweet, it might be in a "pending" state. This means that Twitter is reviewing the ad. Once approved the ad will run.
