Facebook has announced a worldwide scheme that pays people for putting up Stories on its platform. The plan taps into the existing Content Monetisation option, which covers videos and other formats. Those who share playful moments or day to day news can bring in extra funds if their posts are set to public view.
On their website, they added to their monetisation page, “Earn money on your videos, reels, photo and text posts. We’re also experimenting with Stories monetisation for selected beta participants.”
Stories often disappear after 24 hours, but that brief window can still increase a creator’s earnings. Each watch contributes a portion of ad-based revenue, which can build up fast if the person has a big following. This method is easy to manage, since the content may already be part of someone’s daily feed.
Meta believes this will bring more activity on Facebook, as quick updates can tempt viewers to keep returning. Individuals who love snapping photos or filming short clips may find this especially appealing.
It requires minimal extra time and can lead to extra cash whenever fans tune in. Many see it as a handy way to share regular posts without huge effort.
On Facebook, the company posted a story post of user and content creator, Keto Snackz, who introduced this new way to earn. He explained, “This is huge because it means you can earn money from content you’re already producing and sharing if you post it to your Facebook stories.”
How Does It Work?
This revolves around ads that appear between one Story and the next. Each time someone taps forward, an ad may pop up, and the person who posted that Story earns a small sum. In order to qualify, creators must open their Stories to the public so the ads can run.
Performance is measured through views, watch duration, and general interactions. Higher engagement usually brings a bigger slice of the advertising pie. Quick, lively Story posts often hold attention, which helps a creator’s earnings go up.
This new incentive does not replace any earlier setup. It works more like an add-on for people who already use the Content Monetisation programme. It also fits well with reels, longer videos, and normal photo uploads, giving creators one more channel for ad revenue.
Who Benefits And How To Join?
Anyone already signed up for Facebook’s Content Monetisation programme can start earning from Story ads right away. Those who are not yet on board can send in an application, as long as they meet the basic requirements. Facebook tends to look at page traffic and a person’s history with community rules.
Once approved, the main thing to do is making Stories visible to everyone. A Story set to ‘friends only’ will not bring income, because ads depend on a large reach. Some find it unusual to open up posts, yet the financial reward can be worthwhile.
Meta also promises extra bonuses as a way to bring in creators from other social media platforms. There have been announcements of lump sums for anyone who switches their primary uploads to Facebook. These sums can reach thousands, which appeals to those who produce content on a regular basis.
Many creators see this as a chance to grow their earnings without juggling multiple platforms. They can stay active on Facebook and share quick Stories, all while gaining a bit more money in the process.
