Hi guys.

I'm just getting into Facebook ads, and am really confused on why my ads aren't running. Yesterday I put up 2 ads. Only 1 ran. Today, I put up 5 ads, and none are running. Here's a screenshot:

Is this normal? Does it take awhile for them to get going? Is Facebook giving me late night traffic since I'm new?

Any and all help appreciated. Thanks for the help guys!
