If you’re creating videos, Reels, or posts on Facebook and wondering when you’ll finally start earning, this guide is for you.
Facebook’s monetization system in 2025 is more accessible than ever — but also more structured. You can’t just post content and expect payouts; you must meet specific eligibility requirements, follow Meta’s rules, and use the right tools.

In this detailed guide, you’ll learn how to qualify for Facebook monetization, understand each requirement, and discover how to fix common disqualification issues.

🎥 1. Understand Facebook’s Monetization Programs

Before qualifying, you need to know the different ways to earn on Facebook. As of 2025, the major monetization tools include:

a. In-Stream Ads

Earn from ads shown before, during, or after your videos.
To qualify:

Minimum 5,000 followers on a page.
60,000 minutes of watch time in the last 60 days.
Must post at least 5 active videos (3+ minutes each).

b. Reels Bonuses & Ads

Short-form creators can earn through Reels Play Ads and performance bonuses.
To qualify:

Minimum 1,000 followers.
Consistent Reels engagement (likes, comments, shares).
Original content (no watermarked TikToks or reused clips).

c. Stars Monetization

Fans can send “Stars” during live videos or Reels — each Star equals $0.01.
To qualify:

At least 500 followers and 5 active live videos.
Page must comply with Partner Monetization Policies.

💡 2. Meet Facebook’s Core Monetization Policies

Even if you have the numbers, Facebook won’t approve your page unless it meets all three key rules:

✅ Partner Monetization Policies (PMP)

These are the general business rules. You must:

Be 18 or older.
Operate from a supported country.
Follow Facebook’s content and engagement standards.

✅ Content Monetization Policies (CMP)

These determine what type of content is eligible:

No reused videos or compilations.
No misleading thumbnails or titles.
No violent, sexual, or hateful content.

✅ Community Standards

Your posts, comments, and engagement must follow Facebook’s safety and integrity guidelines.

⚠️ Even one violation can temporarily disqualify your Page from monetization.

📊 3. Build an Engaged Audience

Facebook wants creators who build real communities, not just views.
Here’s what helps:

Post consistently (at least 3x a week).
Reply to comments and messages promptly.
Use Facebook Reels + Stories combo to keep engagement high.
Avoid engagement bait (e.g., “Tag 3 friends or lose access!”).

🧰 4. Set Up a Professional Page

A personal profile won’t get you monetized. You need a Facebook Page or Professional Mode profile.

Steps:

Go to your Facebook profile.
Tap Professional Mode → Turn On.
Fill out all details — profile photo, cover photo, bio, category.
Link to an Instagram account (helps Meta verify authenticity).
Enable Two-Factor Authentication for added security.

🧾 5. Check Your Monetization Eligibility Status

You can easily check your eligibility inside Meta Business Suite or Professional Dashboard:

Go to www.facebook.com/monetization
Select your Page or Profile
Check each section (In-stream Ads, Reels, Stars, Subscriptions)

If any feature says “Not Eligible”, click View Details to see why.

⚙️ 6. Common Reasons for Monetization Rejection

If you meet the stats but still can’t monetize, check these:

Page created recently (less than 30 days old).
Reused or copyrighted content.
Fake followers or engagement bought from third parties.
Multiple policy violations.
Inactive for more than 60 days.

Fix:

Remove reused videos.
Post 100% original content.
Stay active for 30 consecutive days before reapplying.

💵 7. Payment Setup

Once approved, go to Payout Settings inside Meta Business Suite.
You’ll need:

A valid bank account (Payoneer or local bank).
Tax information (if applicable).
Correct business name and address.

Facebook pays creators monthly once they reach $100 threshold.

🚀 Final Thoughts

Qualifying for Facebook monetization isn’t luck — it’s strategy and consistency.
Focus on building a real audience, posting valuable content, and staying compliant with Facebook’s rules.

With the right mix of creativity and discipline, your Page can turn into a real source of income in 2025 and beyond.
