Alright.
How to Earn Money from a Facebook Page! This wasn’t planned. I didn’t wake up one morning like, “Let’s make Facebook my side hustle.”
Honestly, I just had a page. A random page. I posted quotes, dumb memes, and stuff I thought was funny.
No strategy. No niche. Nothing like that.
But people kept liking, sharing, and commenting. Slowly. Not a viral thing. Just… it grew.
One day, someone messaged me and said, “You ever think of monetizing this?”
I was like, “Me? Nah. I’m just messing around here.”
But later that night, I was scrolling (again), and I thought maybe there’s something here.
Wait. Facebook Pays People?
Yeah, apparently. Even in 2025.
And no, you don’t need a million followers or to be an influencer. I’m not one.
You just need a page, some content, and a little patience.
Here’s Exactly What I Tried (Some Stuff Worked, Some Didn’t)
First: Ads on My Videos
How to Earn Money from a Facebook Page. I used to upload short videos, nothing fancy, just how-tos and funny takes on stuff.
One day, I saw this thing called “In-stream ads” in Creator Studio.
Turns out, if you have enough followers and watch time, Facebook throws ads into your videos. You get paid for views.
Took me months to hit the numbers, not gonna lie.
But once I did boom. Real payout. Small at first, but real.
Reels Bonus
Didn’t even know this existed. One morning, Facebook popped up with “You’re invited to the Reels Bonus Program.”
I thought it was a scam
It wasn’t.
I just kept posting short clips, being myself, using good music, and avoiding recycled TikToks.
No overthinking.
People Started Sending Me Stars?
Wild. During lives or even on videos, people started sending these “Stars.”
I checked they’re worth money.
A penny each, but when a few hundred come in during a livestream? It adds up.
It felt weird at first. Like, why are people tipping me? But I was helping them, or just entertaining them. I guess that counts for something.
I Charged $5 for a Canva Workshop
This one surprised even me.
I set up a paid online event. Canva basics. Just me showing stuff I already do.
I didn’t think anyone would show up. But they did.
They paid. They showed up. And they stayed.
You can literally charge for live events, fitness, art, language, anything. It’s built into Facebook now.
Fan Subscriptions
Tried this later on. It’s like a mini-membership thing.
People pay monthly to see exclusive stuff behind-the-scenes, early posts, shand out-outs.
Took a while to build, but once it started, it became my most consistent stream.
Affiliate Links (If You’re Honest About It)
I got a ring light I loved, so I posted about it. Used an affiliate link.
People clicked. I got a cut.
That was the first time I realized: you can talk about stuff you actually use, and still earn.
You don’t have to fake anything.
Set Up a Shop
I design digital templates on Canva sometimes. I uploaded a few, tagged them in my posts, and that was it.
People bought them. Not tons, but enough to notice.
If you make stuff art, planners, whatever, it’s an easy start.
A Few Brands Reached Out
I didn’t chase sponsorships. Just stayed consistent.
Eventually, a skincare brand hit me up for a shoutout. Then, a small local clothing store.
Nothing major, $30, $50 a post. Sometimes just free stuff. But it felt good. It felt real.
What Worked for Me (In Terms of Content)
Here’s the stuff that actually got traction:
- Reels. Quick, honest, not overproduced
- Lives. Unscripted, answering questions
- Personal stuff. Not too deep, just relatable
- Carousel posts like “5 Canva tips in one post.”
- And memes, always memes
Things That Did Not Work
- Trying to copy other pages
- Using clickbait headlines
- Posting too much
- Chasing every trend, you burn out fast
Real Talk – You Can Do This
Here’s the truth: you don’t need to be “famous” to earn from a Facebook page.
You just need to show up. Share what you know. Be consistent. Don’t try to be perfect.
Start with one thing. Pick ads, or Stars, or a shop.
Give it 3 months. Not 3 days.
If I can turn random posts into a stream of income, so can you.
