Here’s a clear breakdown of the current Facebook content monetization requirements for Profiles (Professional Mode) or Pages 👇

📌 1. Switch to Professional Mode (or a Page)

Personal profiles alone cannot earn money — you must turn on Professional Mode on your profile.

This unlocks the Professional Dashboard and analytics, and lets you apply for monetization. �

📌 2. Follower + Watch Time Requirements

For Facebook’s Content Monetization Program (CMP) — the unified way you earn from posts, videos, reels, etc:

✔️ Followers minimum: Usually ~5,000 followers on your profile/page as a baseline.

✔️ Watch minutes: You need a certain amount of total minutes viewed in the last 60 days (for videos & reels). Most reports say around 600,000 total minutes viewed.

✔️ Number of videos: At least 5 active videos posted.

Note: Exact thresholds can vary slightly by region and feature type. �

👉 Pro tip: Facebook checks recent performance — even if you hit the follower count, you also need consistent views and watch time to qualify.

📌 3. Age & Country

✔️ You must be 18 years old or older.

✔️ You must live in a country where Facebook monetization is supported (the Philippines is supported).

Facebook won’t show monetization options if you’re in an ineligible country. �

📌 4. Follow Facebook’s Policies

Your page/profile must follow all of Facebook’s rules:

Community Standards & Partner Monetization Policies

No copyright violations or stolen/duplicate content (this can block earnings). �

⚠️ Facebook is tightening rules against reposted/copied content — repeatedly posting others’ videos or content without adding real value can hurt monetization. �
