Monetisation Steps of Facebook Posts (Clear & Practical Guide)

Earn while enjoying socialising on Facebook by simply being yourself and sharing what matters to you. Every post becomes a conversation, every interaction builds a community, and over time, those connections turn into opportunities. When your stories, ideas, and creativity start generating income, Facebook feels less like a platform and more like a place where connection and earning grow together naturally.

The joy of monetising Facebook posts lies in turning your voice into value. What begins as sharing ideas, stories, or community updates slowly transforms into recognition, reach, and reward. Each like, comment, and share becomes more than engagement - it becomes encouragement that your content matters. When earnings follow impact, monetisation feels less like money-making and more like purpose-finding sustainability.

Monetising Facebook posts means earning money directly or indirectly from the content you share. Below is a step-by-step roadmap, from beginner to advanced, tailored for creators, organisations, and community pages.

1️⃣ Build Eligibility First (Foundation Step)

Before monetisation, your Page must meet Facebook Monetisation Eligibility Standards.

Basic requirements:

• Facebook Page (not personal profile)

• Original content

• No copyright or policy violations

• Consistent posting & engagement

• Followers:

  • Minimum 5,000 followers for most ad tools

  • Higher engagement improves approval chances

👉 Check status via: Professional Dashboard → Monetisation

2️⃣ In-Stream Ads (Earn from Videos)

Best for creators posting longer videos.

How it works:

• Facebook places ads in your videos

• You earn a share of ad revenue

Requirements (approx.):

• 5,000 followers

• 60,000 minutes of watch time in the last 60 days

• Videos at least 1 minute long (ads appear after 30 sec)

Best content:

• Speeches, programs, interviews

• News explainers

• Educational & cultural videos

3️⃣ Ads on Reels (Short-Form Earnings)

If you post Reels, this is one of the fastest-growing options.

Steps:

1. Enable “Ads on Reels”

2. Post vertical, original Reels

3. Earnings depend on views & engagement

💡 Works well for youth content, awareness videos, events, and social messages.

4️⃣ Branded Content (Paid Collaborations)

Earn by partnering with brands or organisations.

Examples:

• Promoting a hotel, school, NGO, or product

• Event promotions

• Sponsored awareness campaigns

Steps:

1. Enable the Branded Content tool

2. Use the “Paid Partnership” tag

3. Get paid directly by the brand

✔️ Ideal for Pages with strong local or niche influence

5️⃣ Affiliate Marketing (Link-Based Income)

You earn commission when followers buy through your links.

How to do it:

• Join affiliate programs (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, etc.)

• Share product links in posts

• Earn per sale

Best post types:

• “Top 5 useful items…”

• Reviews

• Recommendations with photos/videos

6️⃣ Fan Subscriptions (Monthly Income)

Followers pay a monthly fee for exclusive content.

You can offer:

• Members-only posts

• Behind-the-scenes updates

• Priority replies

💡 Best for Pages with loyal communities (churches, writers, educators, activists).

7️⃣ Facebook Stars (Live Streaming Income)

During Live videos, viewers send Stars (paid gifts).

Steps:

• Go Live regularly

• Encourage viewers to send Stars

• Each Star = monetary value

✔️ Works well for:

• Live programs

• Music, preaching, discussions

• Community events

8️⃣ Drive External Income (Indirect Monetisation)

Even without Facebook payouts, posts can generate income.

Examples:

• Promote your blog/YouTube channel

• Promote events, books, services

• Lead traffic to donation pages or websites

📌 Many creators earn more indirectly than from ads.
