Want to make money on Facebook? You need to meet specific requirements before you can monetize your content. Here’s exactly what you need to do:

1. Meet Facebook’s Partner Monetization Policies

You must follow Facebook’s Partner Monetization Policies—this means adhering to the platform’s community standards and keeping your content original and authentic.

2. 1,000 Followers and 600,000 Minutes Viewed

For In-Stream Ads, you need at least 1,000 followers and 600,000 minutes of watch time over the last 60 days. Additionally, at least five of your videos need to be published.

3. Create Engaging, Original Content

Only original, high-quality content is eligible. Reposting or low-effort content won’t cut it, and Facebook will review your page or content to ensure it’s not clickbait.

4. Meet Eligibility for Fan Subscriptions and Stars

To access features like Fan Subscriptions or Stars, you’ll need to meet additional engagement and follower requirements. These are tools for getting direct financial support from your audience, similar to Patreon.

5. Monetization Tools (In-Stream Ads, Fan Subscriptions, Stars)

There are different ways to monetize:

• In-Stream Ads: Ads shown during your video.
• Fan Subscriptions: Let fans pay a monthly fee to support you.
• Stars: Viewers can buy Stars to send during live streams.

Key takeaway: You need a growing, engaged audience, consistent original content, and compliance with Facebook’s policies to start earning.
