### 4. Create Engaging Ad Content
- **Craft Compelling Tweets or Visuals:** Develop tweets or visual ads that highlight your educational services, including course offerings, unique selling points (USPs), success stories of students or alumni, faculty expertise, free resources or webinars, and upcoming events.
