Yes, you absolutely can monetize your Facebook Page just like creators earn on YouTube. If you run Facebook pages for yourself or your clients’ businesses, there are multiple ways to generate income directly from Facebook itself — provided you meet the platform’s eligibility criteria.
Whether you’re posting videos, going live, or engaging your followers through creative content, Meta’s monetization tools can help turn your efforts into earnings.
🔥 1. In-Stream Ads for Facebook Videos (Ad Breaks)
This is Facebook’s closest equivalent to YouTube’s monetized videos.
When you upload videos that meet certain conditions, Facebook places ads within them — pre-roll, mid-roll, or image ads — and shares the revenue with you.
✅ Requirements:
- 10,000 Page followers.
- 600,000 total minutes viewed across videos in the past 60 days.
- At least 5 videos (not boosted or crossposted).
- Follow Facebook’s Monetization Policies.
🧠 Tip:
Create regular, high-quality, original videos that provide value (how-tos, tips, stories, product explainers) to build up watch time and followers.
📱 2. Reels Bonuses and Reels Ads
Meta is now heavily promoting Reels to compete with TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
You can earn money through:
- Ad overlays in Reels.
- Reels Play Bonus Program (available by invitation only).
✅ Requirements:
- Must be in an eligible country.
- Create original, engaging Reels consistently.
- Strong follower engagement improves your eligibility.
⭐ 3. Facebook Stars (Live Streams and Reels)
Fans send you Stars, which are a form of virtual tipping.
You earn \$0.01 per Star when viewers send them during your live videos or Reels.
✅ Requirements:
- Live video or Reels with fan interaction.
- Enable Stars via Meta’s Creator Studio.
- Must be located in an eligible country.
💳 4. Fan Subscriptions (aka Subscriptions)
Like Patreon or YouTube Channel Memberships, fans pay a monthly fee to access exclusive content or perks from you.
You receive up to 70% of the subscription revenue.
✅ Requirements:
- At least 10,000 followers or 250 returning viewers.
- Active, consistent content publishing.
- Location must support Subscriptions.
🤝 5. Branded Content (Paid Partnerships)
You can partner with brands and get paid to create sponsored content.
Facebook’s Brand Collabs Manager helps connect creators with businesses looking for influencers in specific niches.
✅ Requirements:
- A solid follower base and quality engagement.
- All posts must transparently tag the brand using Facebook’s branded content tools.
