💸 Facebook Monetization Ideas (Updated for 2025)

🧰 Core Monetization Tools (Built-in by Meta)

1. Facebook In-Stream Ads (Videos)

Monetize your video content with short ads before, during, or after.

Great for: Tutorials, vlogs, teachings, product demos.

Meta may pay you directly for high-performing Reels.

Tip: Post engaging Reels daily (tips, testimonies, bold moves).

3. Facebook Stars (Fan Tips)

Viewers can send you stars during live streams or videos. You earn $0.01 per star.

Great for: Live Q&A, teachings, behind-the-scenes, affiliate walkthroughs.
