Instant Image Ads

Posting your ads free through Buffer instead of running them

You don't have to pay Meta to use the ads. Instant Image Ads sends the same finished ads, image and copy together, out through Buffer as posts to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Pinterest. No ad budget involved: you're posting, not paying for placement. The tool is $97 once, you connect your own Buffer account one time in Settings, and the same ads can still push into your ad account later, arriving switched off, if you change your mind.

What to do right now

What this includes, and what it doesn't

What it does not do:

How it works

  1. Make the batch. 20 finished ads from your sales page link, each with its copy written.
  2. Connect Buffer once in Settings, with the networks you already use.
  3. Send the ads out as posts. They queue through Buffer to the five networks.
  4. Keep the paid path open. The same ads can push into your ad account later, switched off.

See what gets posted. $97, once.

Questions people in your spot actually ask

Which networks can the ads post to?

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Pinterest, through Buffer.

Do I need my own Buffer account?

Yes. Buffer is its own service with its own plans, and you connect your account once in Settings. After that the finished ads queue out through it.

Is posting really free?

There's no ad budget involved: you're posting, not paying Meta for placement. The tool itself is $97 once, making an ad costs credits, and Buffer's own plan is between you and Buffer.

Can I post the ads and also run them?

Yes. The same finished ads can go out through Buffer as posts and push into your own Meta ad account as ads, where they arrive switched off.

Do the carousels post too?

Yes. The 6 and 8 slide storybook carousels can go out to your social accounts the same way.

Why not just download the images and post by hand?

You could. What you'd give up is the copy travelling with its image, five networks from one queue, and the option to push the same ad into your ad account later without rebuilding anything.

What does the tool cost?

$97, once, not a subscription, with 1,000 credits included, about 80 finished ads plus 7 carousels, and every cost shown before it runs.
