# Creating a Campaign in ClickFlare

> A step-by-step guide to creating your first campaign in ClickFlare

Once you have logged into your ClickFlare account, on the left side of your screen select **Campaigns**.

1. Begin by pressing the **+** **New** button.

2. Continue by **naming** your campaign (try to think of something unique or rememberable, this can come in handy when you are running multiple campaigns).
3. Select your **Traffic Source** from the list of existing ones or see how you can add a new traffic source to ClickFlare [here](/docs/en/tracking/creating-a-traffic-source).
4. At this point, you can specify a **Country** and **Device Type** for better organization.
5. Next, choose your **Cost Model**. Depending on the cost model you have chosen (**CPC, CPM, CPA, RevShare**), a new box will appear, where you can designate the default Cost Value as well.

6. Add in the **Integrations** you want to attach to this campaign.

   <Info>
     Note: Each time you connect a *traffic source* with a *campaign*, its integrations will be applied to the campaign as well (you can modify them at any time).
   </Info>
7. Move below to pick your path's transition, be it either **Redirect** or **Direct**.

   **Redirect Tracking** is a classic tracking method, in which a visitor is redirected through ClickFlare's servers, by applying path-altering options, such as rule-based paths, weights, A/B testing or AI.

   **Direct Tracking** as the name suggests is a tracking method in which the visitor lands directly to a designated site, there is no redirection in the middle.

   <Info>
     To learn more about Redirect and Direct Tracking, click [here](/docs/en/campaigns/direct-campaign-tracking).

   <Info>
     Note: You can place a note on your campaign e.g. what its aims are.

8. In the **Destination** **menu**, you can choose to use an existing flow for this campaign, by selecting **Use Existing Flow**, you can work on an existing flow by selecting **Create From Existing Flow**, or create a **New Flow** on the spot. (Follow our guide on how to create a new flow [here](/docs/en/tracking/creating-a-flow)).
