Facebook (Meta) Monetization

 

Facebook (Meta) Monetization for Posting

Facebook’s monetization tools have evolved in 2025 to become more inclusive and easier for creators to earn from their content. Facebook Content Monetization Beta now bundles in‑stream ads, Reels ads, and the Performance Bonus into a single program so that creators may monetize videos, photos, text posts and stories all from the same dashboard.

To be eligible, creators must comply with Community Standards, Partner Monetization Policies, and Content Monetization Policies. You also need an established presence (usually 90 days plus consistent engagement), reside in an eligible country, and have decent follower/view metrics.

How to get started

First, go to Meta Business Suite (or the professional dashboard). In the Monetization tab you can check your eligibility status per page, see which tools are available, and apply if invited. Once accepted, you can monetize Reels, longer videos, photos, stories, and even text posts — all through one single program.

Monetization tools you can use

• In‑Stream ads and Banner/Sticker ads on Reels: Ads play mid‑roll or overlay on Reels; creators share revenue based on performance.

• Facebook Stories monetization: You earn money based on how many views your Stories get, another newer format available to eligible creators

• Performance-based payouts: The bonus system gives earnings per threshold (e.g. $20 for 5 Reels each hitting 100 plays, then $100 when 20 Reels reach 500 plays each). Payout caps vary but can reach several thousand monthly for high performers Wikipedia.

• Combined model: Under the Content Monetization Beta, if you succeeded with Reels ads or the Performance Bonus before, you’ll now earn from multiple content types without separate sign-ups.

Beware of penalties and policy rules

Meta has recently cracked down on spam, duplicate content, and reposted videos. Accounts that steal or repost others’ videos or posts (without meaningful edits or commentary) risk losing access to monetization or having reduced visibility. Meta’s goal is to promote original content and reduce algorithmic spam.

Real creator experiences

One Reddit user reported growing multiple Facebook pages and earning between $1,500 – $15,000/month per page, especially in popular niches like pets or news. However they warn that growth takes time and investing money helps, and also that stolen content performs worse and can jeopardize monetization The VergeReddit.

Another creator expressed skepticism:

“Meta’s 'Content Monetization' platform is just a profit‑sharing scheme that benefits Meta more than creators. … Creators are the lifeblood … while Meta is laughing all the way to the bank”.

So while payouts exist, there's debate about whether they're enough given the value creators provide.
