Being paid for your passion using the social media is one great feeling that everyone using social media wants to feel and it's important that people don't just waste their time and resources on Facebook without earning.
Today, I'll be giving you tips on how to get your account monetized in simple clear terms.
Read below:
To qualify to be monetized on Facebook, you need to meet the following requirements:
You must have a Facebook Page or profile with professional mode turned on
Facebook page is the commonest way of making your Facebook monetized, although in recent years, Facebook introduced the Professional Mode which has made people differ from creating pages nowadays, but however, a page still has significant tools that you can use to fine tune your contents and make more money.
You must comply with Facebook’s Community Standards, Payment Terms, Page Terms, and Partner Monetization Policies
Facebook has community standard policies that must be strictly followed and if you default in any of these policies, your account is liable to be disabled even if you appealed. It is important to always read and follow the Facebook policy standards in running your account. You might not really understand everything there and sometimes you might not know when you have defaulted but I'll tell you some common mistakes of strike you might not know when making your posts.
You must create original and authentic content that follows the Content Monetization Policies
For your account to be monetized, you need to create original contents. You may not necessarily create those contents yourself but can modify other people's contents to make it look original. You must have a line of content. Posting general contents that doesn't give someone a clue or direction of what you're doing will not get you monetized. For instance; if you want to focus on posting about relationship issues, you must stick to it. If you want to concentrate on posting funny videos, videos about food, fashion, health, music, football, gymnastics, babies, animals, dance etc... You must concentrate on one niche. You cannot randomly post articles, videos, pictures without quality caption and get monetized.
If you choose to post articles, stories, updated about admission, school, religion, lifestyle etc, you must ensure to write long articles with good captions that will see people want to spend time reading your content. Facebook sees you as one who is catching fun if you do not focus on one side of content.
Your pictures or videos must be quality and not just quantity
To get monetized, your pictures and videos have to be of quality standard. Don't post blurred or low resolution pictures and expect Facebook to consider you serious for payment. Your video quality is important in HD to give quality attention.
You must post quality content regularly at least once or twice daily without stopping
Getting your account monetized will require that you're always on your thinking and creative plans to bring up new ideas to your followers. You have to let your followers know that you are always there to feed them with your contents daily. So posting today and posting next by the following month will not get you there.
Sharing people's posts is not a criteria to get monetized. You must create your own original content.
You must have a minimum number of followers, depending on the monetization tool you want to use.
For example, you need at least 500 followers to use Stars or Subscriptions - you must have up to 10,000 followers to qualify for live and in-stream ads. Getting less than 10k followers is poor in terms of monetization. You can have upto or more than 10k and still not be monetized if you don't follow the rules above.
You must live in a country where Facebook monetization is available
Facebook is not currently paying in all the countries and as such you must be a resident of approved countries to receive payment from Facebook. Luckily, Nigeria is among the monetizable countries.
You can check your monetization eligibility status in the Meta Business Suite or the Professional Dashboard on Facebook
Always check your dashboard to see your progress and where you need to improve on. Thankfully Facebook gives you insight into what you have done well and areas that needs improvement.

TIPS YOU MUST CONSIDER IN GROWING YOUR FOLLOWERS/AUDIENCE
Reels
Posting your videos as Reels will make your video reach a wider audience than normal video posts. If your videos are short, post them as reels and post long videos as normal video post. However, all of them are okay and will reach wide audience if you have many followers.
Use eye-catching caption texts in your videos or article headings
Sometimes your post might not make sense but your ability to make people feel there is something very interesting about your content might make them read or view till the end. Imaging writing a caption like (How I caught my husband cheating on me - watch till the end) but at the end, it was just a video of your husband spending time with his mother in one of the eateries around and you just laugh and make fun with your husband and his mother and join them to eat. Of course what's wrong with a man spending time with his mother? But then, people will watch till the end to see how your husband or wife was caught not knowing it was a funny video at the end. I'm sure you've seen videos of this nature on social media.
Go live
Facebook wants to be sure that you're the authentic owner of your account and that anyone following you can trust you which is why you have to go live for your followers to know you're not fake. When you have entrusted yourself to your followers, it places you on a batter place to get monetized.
In Summary:
1. **Create Engaging Content:** Develop content that resonates with your target audience. This could include posts, videos, or other media that people find interesting.

Just to motivate you! 🙂
When I started blogging I never got monetized for years and I kept on dealing with my passion of blogging. I applied for monetization on my blog for a long wait and it took four years for me to completely set up my blog and get monetized. My Google AdSense pin was shipped to me in 2018 and since then, I have been earning in blogging and on Facebook too recently. I'm sure you can see some Ads in this post or the entire blog page when you go Home and if you click any of the Ads, that's what pays me daily. Which means I make money fro, and Ads displayed on my blog. You can learn how to create a blog here and make money from Google.
You need to keep your passion growing in patience and every other thigns will be added to you 😉
