### 3. **Identify Your Target Audience**
- **Define Your Audience:** Specify who you want to reach with your ads based on demographics (age, gender, income level), interests (personal finance, investments, budgeting), behaviors (online banking users, investment apps usage), and location (local or global targeting depending on your app's availability).

### 4. **Create Engaging Ad Content**
- **Craft Compelling Tweets or Visuals:** Develop tweets or visual ads that highlight the key features and benefits of your financial app. Focus on what makes your app unique, such as budget tracking tools, investment portfolios, or financial planning services.
- **Use Visuals:** Include high-quality images or videos demonstrating the app's interface, users engaging with the app, or success stories.

### 6. **Set Your Budget and Bidding Strategy**
