What changed
Until 2025 a Facebook creator could earn from several separate programmes: in-stream ads placed inside longer videos, Ads on Reels, and the Performance bonus. Meta ended all three on 31 August 2025, the last day anyone could earn from them. In-stream ads for Live end on 15 June 2026.
In their place is Facebook content monetisation. Instead of paying you a share of ads placed in your videos, it pays for the performance of your public reels, photos, stories and text posts. Meta says the amount depends on numerous factors, including qualified views and watch time, as Meta alone determines.
So a tutorial that tells you to "turn on in-stream ads" or reach a certain number of minutes viewed for them is describing a programme that no longer exists.
- 31 August 2025In-stream ads, Ads on Reels and the Performance bonus end.
- 13 March 2026Meta announces stronger rewards for original content.
- 18 March 2026Meta announces Creator Fast Track for creators big on other platforms.
- 15 June 2026In-stream ads for Live end. Content monetisation is the one programme.
Who gets in: invitations only
Facebook content monetisation is invitation-only. Meta sends invitations through its own channels: the Facebook app, email, Meta Business Suite and the Creator or Business Dashboard, where a genuine invitation also shows up in the Monetisation section. As part of the Creator Fast Track programme, an invitation can also come from one of Meta's approved agency partners.
Meta warns creators not to click suspicious links that do not come from its official channels, Messenger included. Anyone who messages you offering to "activate" monetisation is not one of those channels.
If you have not been invited, you can fill in Meta's interest form from the Monetisation tab of your Creator or Business Dashboard. Meta is clear that it is not an application and does not guarantee an invitation. Meta's creators page, read on 29 October 2026, adds that it is sending invitations to millions of creators this year and plans to open registration to everyone soon. It gives no date.
What earns, and what does not
Public reels, photos, stories and text posts that follow Meta's policies can earn. A reel has to be at least 10 seconds long and a story at least 5 seconds, and any post watched for less than 5 seconds does not qualify.
Meta lists content that may not earn even when you are in the programme:
- Posts where an ownership claim was settled in favour of another copyright holder.
- Content in a language the programme does not support.
- Content crossposted by a Page you do not own or manage (crossposting your own Instagram content is fine).
- Boosted posts, deleted posts, and posts where you turned ads off.
- Content that collects or rewards inauthentic engagement, and posts reshared to stories.
When someone else claims ownership of part of your post, they may get a share of what it earns, and some or all of your payout is held while the claim is reviewed.
Original content, the rule that matters most
On 13 March 2026 Meta spelled out what it treats as original. Original means content filmed or produced by the creator. Using other people's material can still be original when the focus is you, on screen, presenting something genuinely new, such as fresh information, analysis or real improvements.
What Meta calls unoriginal: watching along, reacting with facial expressions, stitching clips together or narrating what is already on screen without adding anything meaningful, and duplicates or minor edits of another creator's post, like re-uploading it or adding borders, captions or a speed change.
Creators who post mostly unoriginal content can see their account made non-recommendable and demonetised. For a page that grew on reposted clips, that is the change to plan around.
Creator Fast Track, if you are big elsewhere
On 18 March 2026 Meta announced Creator Fast Track for creators who already have an audience on other platforms: at least 100,000 followers on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, or more than a million on one of them.
Meta says it pays US$1,000 a month (100,000 followers or more) or US$3,000 a month (over a million) for three months of posting eligible reels on Facebook, with immediate access to content monetisation (Meta's newsroom, 18 March 2026, read 29 October 2026). That is Meta's offer, not ours: Meta decides who joins, and the announcement does not list the countries where it is offered.
In the United States, Meta's creators page (read 29 October 2026) also offers the Breakthrough Bonus programme: creators 18 or older who live in the US, are on another social app and have, or create, a professional Instagram account and a Facebook Page can apply on mobile for up to US$5,000 in bonuses over their first 90 days. Meta works out the bonus from an assessment of your social media presence and puts applications from creators with at least 20,000 followers on another app first; an accepted creator is invited and joins content monetisation automatically.
