A Beginner's Guide to Facebook Monetization

By MUSYOKA NGUI 

The first step is definitely switching your account to professional status. This upgrade gives you superior tools to acquire followers beyond the 5000 friends cap in an ordinary Facebook account. 

To maintain your interactions with audiences, post original content. By original,  I mean that you should not post someone else's videos or passing them around as yours.  This is because even when they are watched, you will not be paid. 

As you post the videos,  check the upload button.  It scans the posts to ensure they are fresh from capture and/or archives. You will get a confirmation that they are new and you can go ahead and share them. 

Another important control tool is to check your library.  The past uploads are accompanied by their performance indicators.  The views, earnings,  dates of posting, and such. If Facebook flags a video or any other multimedia file uploaded as having been shared by another user, you better follow the rules since the consequences are doing press ups against your page/profile now.

All earnings will be compiled and sent to your registered account once they are due. This can be your bank or PayPal.  The minimum withdrawal is $25. 

As such,  the privacy of your account is paramount lest you lose it to hackers. Save your log in password in a trusted storage away from malicious users. Better yet, activate two factor authentication. This is an extra layer of authorisation a user will be prompted to key in for them to gain access.  It can be a code or a link sent to email or phone number assigned.

Once you start earning,  you gain experience for better yields. It is also a demonstration that you no longer play in local leagues. Welcome to the international earnings club.
