What is Facebook monetization elegiblity ?

Facebook’s “monetization eligibility” refers to the criteria creators must meet to earn money on the platform—covering in-stream ads, fan subscriptions, Stars, branded content, paid online events, and more.

1. Partner Monetization Policies (Required for all monetization tools) To monetize in any way, you must comply with Facebook’s foundational rules:

•Content & behavior: Adhere to Community Standards, Content Monetization Policies, intellectual property rules, authenticity requirements (no clickbait/misinformation), and avoid manufactured engagement .

•Authentic & original: You must own or have created the content, add meaningful enhancements, and refrain from resharing without modification .

•Established presence: Have had a Page, profile in Professional Mode, Event, or Group for at least 30 days .

•Location & age: Be in an eligible country and at least 18 years old .

•Payment compliance: Have a valid method ready and agree to Facebook’s payment terms .

2. In‑Stream Ads (Video Monetization).

Live videos (if you want in‑stream ads during live): °60,000 live minutes viewed in the past 60 days in addition to on-demand criteria above.

💡 Additional Notes & Tips. Country glitches: Sometimes location issues or admin settings cause monetization blocks; pages can get unfairly marked “ineligible” even when criteria are met. Fixes include updating admin location or waiting for system refresh . Appeals: If flagged, you can request review for both content-level and partner-level strikes via Creator Studio .

Community feedback: Some creators highlight need for consistent original content—avoid rehashed clips/memes and focus on genuine, engaging uploads.
