Can someone explain Facebook Content Monetization and how to start earning?

​

I've been cross-posting my Instagram content to Facebook, mostly random daily-life mini vlogs. Nothing particularly interesting or fancy 😅. I've been thinking about creating more interesting content, but honestly, I'm not sure where to start or what kind of videos to make.

Recently, I received a notification saying my profile had been approved to use Content Monetization, I'm not sure what this notification actually means.

I checked my dashboard, and my analytics are pretty low. I have around 1,510 views in the last 28 days, and my approximate earnings are still $0.

I'm confused about a few things:

Does this notification mean I'm already approved to earn, or do I still need another invitation?

If I start posting more videos or Reels now, can I earn money, or do I need to complete something first?

I'm using my personal profile with Professional Mode. Is there any difference between that and creating a separate Facebook Page? Which one should I use?

What kind of content would you recommend for someone just starting out?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain how this works in simple terms and share any tips for getting started.

that notification means you are in the program already, no extra invite needed but you only make money when your views go up a lot, 1500 views is very low for any payout

you can just keep posting more videos, the earnings start when facebook decide to put ads on your stuff, usually when you hit bigger numbers

for content just do what you already do but make the mini vlogs longer, like 3 minutes at least, facebook pay better for longer videos than reels

In our experience, volume and 20 seconds views is the only thing that works. It’s a very different audience than the other platforms. It’s been tough. You need 10k followers and you’ll need to setup up a business property in meta business suites.

How I "growth hacked" Instagram (UPDATE)

For years I tried being original, filming quality content, building an audience the right way, doing everything the big creator coaches were telling me. You know what that got me? Like $8 after months of effort. I also wasted way more than that trying to buy engagement. Don't do it. Complete waste. Here's what I did instead. I stopped trying to be unique and started actually studying what was already working. Not in a vague way. I mean I spent real time tracking what was getting pushed in my niche, what formats were showing up over and over, what kinds of videos the algorithm was clearly rewarding right now. Then I made my version of that. Use SocialHunt for a lot of this now because manually scrolling for hours trying to spot patterns is a full time job on its own. Also use vidIQ for the YouTube side of things. There's a smaller tool called Tikmatics that catches TikTok format and audio trends really early before they hit everywhere, barely anyone uses it. I also figured out that a ton of the reels blowing up were using comment triggers. Saying "comment this word and I'll send you something" in the caption or on screen. Since everyone doing well was doing this, competing without it was fighting with one hand tied behind your back. Started doing it on every post. Views started coming in. Some reels crossing 20K, a few hitting 50K to 500K. Eventually got a DM from a brand outreach coordinator. They paid me to mention a product in a video. Hit $5K in a single month from brand deals. Problem was I was spending way too much time going back and forth on emails just to get paid. Lots of scammers too. Always ask for 50% upfront. Never trust otherwise. Couldn't break past $5K for a while. Then I saw a similar account selling a digital guide on how to make videos like theirs. Thought it was stupid at first. Why would someone watching your content buy a guide from you? Felt backwards. But I stopped trying to reinvent things so I did it anyway. About 10 posts a month went to sponsors. The other 20 promoted my own guide. Mentioned it in descriptions, told people to comment for a free version, then upselled from there. Somehow it worked. When you're pulling millions of views a month even a tiny percentage buying a $20 guide adds up fast. Sold 300+ copies the first month. Also put affiliate links inside the guide for tools I actually use and started collecting commissions from that too. Monthly income from this Instagram hit $12K. Happy to answer questions if anyone has them. // UPDATE After the original post took off I got flooded with messages. Here's what happened since. A bunch of people suggested I upload the same reels directly to YouTube Shorts right after posting. They were right. Reach started slow but some videos are now crossing 100K views there. The best part is I can offer that reach to existing sponsors as bonus distribution without making a separate video. Easy upsell. I don't use post schedulers. My income depends on this now and I don't want to test anything that might break it. Last time I tried one my reach took a hit. For people asking to see examples without me exposing my niche, just search "would you rather" or "Reddit stories" or "texting stories" on Instagram or YouTube Shorts. That's the format. You'll see it everywhere. That covers most of what people were asking. Drop anything I missed below.

What is engagement on LinkedIn?

Everyone talks about "boosting engagement" but nobody actually breaks down what that means practically. Likes, comments, shares, clicks they all count differently and yet most people treat them the same. From what I have seen comments carry the most weight both for the algorithm and for actual human memory. When someone leaves a genuinely thoughtful comment I remember their name way longer than whoever wrote the original post. Is that just me or does anyone else experience linkedIn that way?

Are these influxes of TikTok followers bots?

I didn’t pay for engagement & I haven’t posted much, I’m trying to figure out how I gained almost 20 followers over the past 2-3 days. I know which videos of mine have higher engagement, and when you click on the analytics, it’ll tell you how many new followers were gained from that video. Some have liked content & followed, some just follow out of the blue it seems but I have more profile views. Most of these profiles may have a profile pic but no content, just likes and reposts.

What's actually working on social media in 2026 that most marketers are still ignoring?

Social media keeps changing, and strategies that worked last year don't always deliver the same results today. For those managing social media accounts or growing a business, what's bringing you real engagement right now? Short-form videos, carousels, community building, or something else? I'd love to hear what's genuinely working for you, not just what's trending.

Does adding a caption, hashtags, and location actually help the Reels algorithm push your content?

Hey everyone, I've been noticing a lot of Reels going viral with completely blank descriptions, no hashtags, and no location tag at all. I wanted to ask if taking the time to add a description, hashtags, and a location actually helps the algorithm promote your Reels to more people, or if it makes no real difference compared to just posting without them. What has your experience been with this?
