HOW TO GET MONETIZED ON FACEBOOK
Simple Step-by-Step Guide
STEP 1: Activate Monetization Access
1. Open your Facebook Profile or Page
2. Turn on Professional Mode
• Profile → Tap (•••) → Turn on Professional Mode
• Or create/use a page
3. Make sure:
• Your identity is real and verified
• Your account has no active violations
• Your profile is in good standing
📌 Take note: Monetization won’t work on a regular personal profile without Professional Mode enabled.
⸻
STEP 2: Meet the Basic Requirements
Facebook automatically reviews if:
• You are 18 years old and above
• You follow Community Standards
• You follow Monetization Policies
• Your content is original
• You don’t have recent policy strikes
If these are not met, monetization features won’t unlock.
⸻
STEP 3: Stay Consistent With Content
Facebook favors consistency more than random viral videos.
Best practice:
• Post Reels regularly (ideally 3–7 times weekly)
• Add photo and text posts occasionally
• Engage with comments
• Avoid recycled content with TikTok watermarks
• Use licensed or approved music only
📌 Watch time and retention are more important than just views.
⸻
STEP 4: Let Facebook Track Your Creator Activity
Once you’re active, Facebook starts measuring:
• Watch time
• Audience retention
• Engagement
• Posting consistency
You can monitor this inside:
Professional Dashboard → Monetization / Achievements
This is where Facebook evaluates if you’re ready to earn.
⸻
STEP 5: Unlock Monetization Tools
Monetization doesn’t unlock all at once.
Common tools include:
• Reels Ads
• Performance Bonuses
• Stars
• In-Stream Ads (for longer videos)
⚠️ Most of these are invite-only. You don’t manually apply — Facebook sends invitations directly in-app.
⸻
STEP 6: Accept the Monetization Invitation
When eligible:
1. You’ll receive a notification inside Facebook
2. Accept the invitation
3. Monetization activates
4. Earnings start tracking
❌ No email links
