The Fear of Facebook Advertising is The Beginning of Wisdom
Today hasn’t been an easy day between the Facebook Ads Team and I. I know thousands of advertisers like me go 
through a whole lot just to get one ad approved by Facebook. Today was the mother of all Facebook rejection. All my ads were disapproved for some reasons, and that got me worried and disorganized for a while. It came to a point where I decided that I was going to give them all it took to get my ads through. Even as I diligently followed all the guidelines, I kept getting “Facebook Ads Alert: Ad Disapproved” in my email. Oh boy, they almost got me frustrated. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m a goal getter, I would have quit since I got my 6th ad rejection.
I really didn’t do anything different before I got my ads approved. I decided if they wanted to give me a hard time, then I am as well ready to give them one. I was determined I would continue sending the same ad until it was approved. When I made my decision to give them a hard time like they have been giving me, I sent in the same 2 ads that were rejected for this reason – “The text and/or image of this ad is not representative of the product or service being advertised.” About 4 minutes later, believe me, 4 minutes later the 2 ads got approved.
Today, I did a total of 9 ads(7 disapproved, 2 approved) and the least waiting time was an hour. So for them to approve my ad in just 4 minutes is just extraordinaria(extraordinary).
I know many advertisers are going through this same rejection, but all I can say is don’t give up, continue trying and modifying as best as you can. For advertisers, there is a huge market on the Facebook platform. So if you really are sure you want to reach your prospects, then you have no any other option than to “play ball.” Good luck to all those who for some reasons have been disapproved; continue trying.
