Facebook Monetization: Ways to Getting Monetized from FB Traffic

Facebook is the world’s largest social media platform, with roughly 3 billion monthly active users, according to Statista. This massive social network presents many opportunities to make money as a business owner, content creator, affiliate marketer, or basic user. There are many Facebook monetization techniques to apply and earn income.

This article will show you how to get monetized on Facebook and provide tips on optimizing your revenue.

Can Facebook pages earn money?

Yes, Facebook pages can earn money from their content. You can monetize either directly through Facebook or through third-party platforms. The former requires you to meet Facebook’s Partner Monetization Policies, which include creating original content, having an established presence, and residing in an eligible country. The latter depends on what monetization method you pick and we will soon list them all. You can jump to this section right now, but we recommend you reading the important pre-monetization part.

There’s no limit to what you can earn if you play your cards right.

How to prepare for Facebook monetization?

First things first, decide whether you’re going to monetize your personal account or create another one just for doing business.

Adsterra publishers recommend creating a new account on any social network, not only Facebook. Here is what our partner Ruben Colón says about Snapchat monetization, but you can scale this piece of advice to any social network:

• “I highly recommend creating a new account. You will probably ask why. Well, running business activities is risky. You will have to be very active and test many methods of generating organic traffic. Snapchat can consider some of them suspicious and block your account. If you are not willing to waste time on your account’s recovery, simply start with a new test one.”

Everything you post should be consistent and valuable from the point of potential profits”. We’re here to list factors that are important for monetization, so we won’t talk about growing your brand or creating unique content. You can earn with less effort, actually.

1. Examine trends. Your content should be catchy if non hype. Use Google trends as a starting point. 

2. Estimate your potential audience. Facebook Audience Insights can help you to make a snapshot of your readership (available to those who have ad accounts).

3. Prepare a plan of posting. Remember to include time for rewriting, especially headlines. Adsterra star blogger, Achile Anne, says that creating truly viral content demands time and skills; “One of my primary rules is to make sure the news is really hot — it almost guarantees many views. I check trending topics using hashtags on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.”

4. Finally, your headline should be catchy. Making it short is not enough. If you’re writing about, say, crimes, it should be truly sensational or at least revealing.”

How do you know if you’re eligible for monetization?

It’s very easy to check if you’re eligible for monetization. Follow these steps:

• Visit the Facebook Creator Studio. 
• Check the column on the homepage’s right-hand side and select “Monetization.”
• Click “Overview” after selecting Monetization. This section will show you what type of monetization you’re eligible for.
• Ensure your account details are correct, and click “Set up Monetization.” You’ll get a confirmation email showing that you’re ready to monetize.

•   How does Facebook monetization work?                    Different monetization methods have different requirements. For example, brand collaborations require at least 1,000 followers and 15,000 post engagements or 180,000 minutes of video viewed over the past 60 days. Subscriptions need at least 10,000 followers and 180,000 minutes watched over the past 60 days, and In-stream ads need at least 10,000 followers and 600,000 minutes watched over the preceding 60 days. The baseline for direct monetization is 1,000 followers and 180,000 minutes of your videos watched. 

  What is Facebook’s Professional Mode for profile monetization?                                                                              In 2021, Facebook introduced something called Professional Mode for content creators based in the U.S.A. This feature enables creators to earn money for posting Reels, which are short-form videos of under 30 seconds. Professional accounts can earn money based on how many people watch their Reels. They can also access detailed posts and audience insights to determine how to optimize their videos for maximum views.
