33 Ways To Make $33,000 Per Month From Facebook Pages
If you’re a creator, you can make Facebook pay. Really pay. Here’s what we’ve learned after 10 years of managing 100’s of millions of followers and generating tens of millions of dollars with partners.
And, before you say that Facebook is dead or nowhere near where it used to be – you’re dead wrong. Publishers are earning more money now than ever before from this platform. Anyone who was around in the 2010’s can attest to how lucrative Facebook publishing can be.
We are entering, without exaggeration, the Golden Age of Facebook. We’ve never seen anything like this before, and the upside of any one competing platform doesn’t even come close to the opportunity ahead with Facebook. Any publisher, newswroom, corporation or solopreneur can, and must, take advantage of these strategies.
Here’s exactly what you need to know:
1. The 4 core ways to earn from Facebook in 2026
There are four big income pillars you can stack to build serious revenue from Facebook, but the tools and rules have evolved.
The pages that make the most treat Facebook like a business. Multiple income streams work together. Some are easy to start. Some take effort. But together, they make money reliable. Scalable.
Here are the four main ways to monetize your page:
- Facebook Content Monetization – Easiest to start. Invite-only. You need a strong content strategy to get in.
- Website Traffic – Harder, but the payoff is bigger.
- Email Subscribers from Website Traffic – Convert visitors into subscribers. Earn roughly $0.30 per subscriber per month. Effort ranges from easy to moderate.
- Reels (Short Videos) – Harder to master. But can boost reach and revenue significantly.
If your goal is $33,000/month, assume you’ll eventually need multiple high‑reach pages, a strong US audience, a fast content site on a premium ad network, and a well‑optimized email list.
Top pages don’t rely on just one method. They stack all four. Later, we’ll show exactly how to make each method work for your page.
2. Viral Content Powers Facebook Pages but originality is non‑negotiable
Viral content is the lifeblood of Facebook. It is what unlocks reach, and reach is what unlocks every other monetization pillar. The right post can get 10 likes, 1,000, or 100,000.
The goal isn’t copying. It’s understanding what clicks with people, then making your own content that hits.
Here’s how to find the most viral content:
- Make a list of top-performing pages. Follow them all.
- Do the same with Facebook Groups. Follow all.
- Use tools to track top posts over time. You can use NewsBomb for this purpose and it’s really helpful.
- Spend a few minutes daily scrolling your own feed to watch what the algorithm naturally pushes. Facebook shows what people engage with. No tool beats this.
Do this daily or weekly. Take top-performing content, adapt it, don’t copy blindly. Make it your own.
Use this only as research. Rebuild ideas in your own words, visuals, and angle so your page remains eligible under Facebook’s originality and copyright standards.
Facebook calls content “original” if it’s fully new or meaningfully enhanced. You can add captions, or text on images. Make it unique. You can do this with your blog too. Growth depends on your existing audience and monetization status.
3. How to pick TRUE viral winners
Your job is to separate “good” posts from “monsters” that can reach millions.
Rank candidate posts by:
• Shares (strongest signal of virality)
• Comments (especially meaningful ones, not just tags or spam)
• Reactions (with “Love” and “Haha” often beating plain “Like”)
Not all viral posts fit your page. Pick the ones with high engagement – likes, comments, shares – and make sure they match your audience and style.
Test different time periods: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. Watch trends. Seasonal timing matters. A post in December can perform way better than the same one in August.
Picking viral content is part science, part instinct. Over time, you’ll feel what works. It’ll make the process faster and easier.
3. Reels: Hardest Pillar, Highest Upside
Videos are the trickiest Facebook monetization pillar but when they work, they hit hard.
High-quality reels are tough to create, and even tougher is finding repeatable formats that actually engage your audience and drive revenue.
Reels are no different. Right now, Facebook is prioritizing Reels in the algorithm, meaning pages that crack the code can see massive reach, new followers, and tangible earnings. But the key isn’t just posting more, it’s creating content that work, consistently.
4. Finding Winning Video Angles
Treat Reels like a research project. The goal is not just posting content – it’s finding repeatable formats your audience watches to the end.
Use the same mentality you’d apply to posts:
• Scrutinize Reels in your niche for:
• High watch time and completion rates
• Strong shares and saves
• Comments that show viewers watched most of the video
• Identify patterns in:
• Length, pacing, hooks, editing, and on-screen text
• Topic framing that resonates
Then, borrow the structure, not the script and create your own formats that your audience will recognize and consume consistently.
5. Creating Reels without losing your mind
There are three main ways to create high-impact, repeatable content:
5.1. Text-based Reels with video backgrounds
• Video backgrounds make your message visually engaging
• Overlay concise, attention-grabbing text to communicate key points
• Perfect for tips, quick insights, or quotes your audience will save and share
5.2. Leverage AI to scale content
• Use AI tools to generate realistic, high-quality Reels around niche topics
• AI can handle scripting, visuals, voiceovers, and editing
• Ideal for creating multiple Reels quickly without sacrificing engagement or consistency
5.3. Vertically captured original videos
• Shoot short, authentic videos with your phone
• Edit carefully to highlight hooks, captions, and CTA
• Keep clips punchy (15-30 seconds) to maximize retention and shares
Combine these methods to build a steady stream of Reels that attract new followers and boost monetization, without feeling overwhelmed.
The focus should always be clarity, value, and visual appeal.
6. Reels as a Revenue Engine
If you’re consistent, Reels can pay off financially. Current benchmarks:
• 1,000,000 views per Reel can generate around $120
• RPMs are rising, meaning the same views could earn more soon
To optimize revenue:
• Focus on short, punchy Reels that deliver immediate value
• Optimize for watch time, engagement, and shares
• Build a content strategy that leverages trending topics and formats that resonate with your niche
Think of it as building a Reels engine: consistent, repeatable formats feeding new followers, higher engagement, and growing revenue over time. Focus on other pillars first
While Reels have huge upside, don’t treat them as a silver bullet. Video works best when you can commit to consistency, not as a one-off experiment.
Stabilize your other monetization pillars first, then scale your Reels production to maximize both reach and earnings.
7. Your Baseline Mission: Maximize Reach
Your main goal is simple – get as many eyes on your page as possible. No reach, no money. It’s that basic.
• Focus on building a page that can reach tens or hundreds of thousands of people per day with compliant, trustworthy content.
• Avoid tactics that spike reach but risk violations
• Think like a publisher – strong editorial standards, clear niche, and a repeatable posting rhythm
Strong reach drives everything – bonuses, website traffic, reels revenue. Without it, your income will stay small.
The higher your reach, the more traffic you can send to your sites. The higher your reach, the more you earn from the content monetization. It’s a numbers game. Play it well.
8. Supercharge Your Reach (without burning the page)
You want more “bangers” and fewer “dead posts.”
• Keep refining your curation and creation until your hit rate rises (e.g., 20–40% of posts perform above average).
• In the early days, ethically “prime” engagement: reply to comments, share to your personal profile if relevant, ask your real network to engage.
• Run small, carefully targeted engagement campaigns if you use ads, but avoid fake likes or low‑quality engagement sources.
• Maintain a testing mindset: different image styles, hooks, and posting times until you see a clear pattern.
Above all, stay inside Facebook’s content and spam rules. The fastest way to kill reach is a pattern of low‑quality or policy‑breaking posts.
Refine constantly. Curate better. Choose smarter. Distribute wisely. Keep tweaking until your hits far outnumber your flops.
Boost engagement, especially if your page is small or new:
Scrape relentlessly. Scrape, scrape, scrape. Hunt obsessively for the best content. Share it fast – before your competitors even see it. Timing is everything.
9. Leverage AI to get more done without losing your voice
AI isn’t a replacement for your strategy. Think of it as a co‑pilot that helps you work smarter, not harder.
• Use AI tools to brainstorm ideas, hooks, and post variations but always rewrite in your own words so it feels authentic and on-brand.
• Turn top-performing posts into videos, or reels faster using design and video AI tools.
• Let scheduling and analytics tools show you the best times to post, what’s resonating, and what’s worth reposting.
• Draft email or ad copy with AI, but double-check facts, adjust the tone, and make sure it matches your audience before hitting send.
Done right, AI speeds up content creation, keeps quality high, and lets you test more ideas while you stay in control of your strategy and brand.
10. Boost Your Chances for Facebook Content Monetization
If your page isn’t received content monetization invite yet, you can speed things up. Follow these steps:
• Max out reach and engagement using the tips above.
• Create 100% original content. No exceptions.
• Share a daily reel. Consistency matters.
• Follow and complete the weekly checklist in Facebook Professional Dashboard.
Do this consistently. The faster your page performs, the sooner Facebook may invite you to earn through Content Monetization.
11. Maximize Your Content Monetization Earnings
Max out reach and engagement. (See a pattern here?)
Create 100% original content. Facebook will penalize copied material.
Share a variety of content types:
• Images/photos
• Text posts
• Reels
• Stories
Write long, detailed captions. Make them high quality. Give your audience real value.
Start with 6-10 posts a day. Then post up to 24 times per day. 48 if you can manage it. But remember – quality over quantity. Start smaller and scale up. Target US followers only for bigger revenue payouts. They pay more and drive higher CM earnings.
12. Read your payout dashboard like a scientist
Check your CM earnings every day using Page Insights. Look for patterns and trends. Certain content types will perform much better than others. Do more of what pays and aligns with your brand, do less of what doesn’t – per page, not based on someone else’s results.
The more you test, adjust, and refine each post over time, the higher your earnings will grow, creating a reliable system that scales.
13. Grow Your Follower Count
Grow your follower count as quickly as possible. Some creators claim follower count doesn’t matter, reality is more nuanced. Yes, page likes are less important than before.
But a larger, real follower base still helps with:
• Social proof and brand deals
• Faster initial traction on new posts
• Email and website conversion rates
We track what we call the golden ratio: total engagements ÷ total page likes. The higher this ratio, the higher the quality of your page in terms of engagement, and the more Facebook rewards it.
Focus on improving both your likes and your engagement. High-quality pages with strong ratios get more algorithmic love. Aim for a small but highly engaged audience before you obsess about huge numbers.
14. Smart ways to grow followers
You can grow your follower count by:
• Running a Page Like ad campaign to attract new targeted followers
• Sharing super-viral content that encourages followers to interact and reshare your posts
• Leveraging reshares so the algorithm spreads your content to more users, creating a natural upward spiral of growth
• Using the Invite feature in Facebook Business Manager to invite users who have interacted but haven’t yet liked your page
The faster you grow your followers while keeping engagement high, the stronger your page becomes and the higher your earning potential over time.
15. Optimize Your Page Like Campaign
If you’re running a Page Like campaign, test and refine constantly. Adjust targeting, and ad creative until your cost per follower drops to $0.005–$0.01.
Here’s how we do it:
• Target as broad an audience as possible
• Target a niche that is still broad enough to scale
• Use a captivating, eye-catching image
• Use BIG text with a clear call to action
• Add a small down-pointing arrow in the corner – it can cut your cost per like by 50%.
• Write captions like: “Do you love ____? Then LIKE our page!”
• Only target US followers – they pay almost 2x more than the next highest-paying country.
• Pay $3 per day per page – spending more can raise your cost per follower.
Keep refining ad creatives until you reach your target cost. We regularly get campaigns down to half a penny per follower, depending on the niche, but never target followers outside the US.
16. Invite Followers to Like Your Page
Make sure to invite users to like your Facebook page. There are three main ways to do it:
• Invite users who interacted with your content but haven’t liked the page directly from an individual post. Some pages may need to use Meta Suite to invite if the option doesn’t appear.
• Use Meta Business Manager to invite users who’ve interacted with comments but not followed the page – up to about 1,000 per day
The higher your reach and engagement, the more invites you can send. More interactions mean more potential followers.
Make it a part of your weekly routine.
17. Maximize Your Traffic with Smart Link Sharing
Once your page has a steady follower count or reach baseline, start sharing links to drive traffic to your website.
Remember – reach drops when you add link shares. Introduce too many too quickly, and your page performance can tank.
• Gradually add link shares into your posts
• Only share high-performing content, weak posts drag overall page performance down
• Avoid putting links directly in captions or the first comment too often, as Facebook throttles them
• Counteract link-drain with super-viral image and reel shares that generate tons of reach
Even with these challenges, link shares can be very lucrative. Done correctly, they drive consistent traffic and revenue.
Your goal is balance: maintain enough reach that your links still see large audiences and your page remains healthy.
18. Link Post Format Matters
How you format your link shares is crucial. Different pages respond to different formats, but one consistently works best: Image posts + link in the first Comment.
Here’s how it can look:
• Standard: Image share with link in the first comment. Most pages do this.
• Clean pages (not flagged by Facebook algo): Image with link in caption, and first comment. This maximizes reach.
• Pages flagged often by Meta AI: Image share with link only in the caption. Safer approach.
Format matters. Done right, it boosts reach, engagement, and traffic without triggering penalties.
19. Experiment with Post Formats
Try different post formats. When a post performs REALLY well, reshare it in new ways.
Three go-to formats for link shares:
1. Link share (native link post)
2. Image + link in the first comment
3. Text + link in the first comment
Vary the hook, angle, or promise (curiosity vs benefit‑driven vs emotional).
Mix and test. Some audiences respond better to one format than another. Patterns emerge if you pay attention.
Treat each winning idea as a “mini franchise” you can reformat around your brand.
20. High‑performing images that actually stop the scroll
How you design the image matters just as much as the content.
• Use a bold, high‑contrast image for the top two‑thirds of the graphic
• Add large, readable text in the bottom third that clearly sets up the benefit or curiosity
• Avoid generic stock photos – they blend into the feed and often underperform
• Include a small logo of your brand or website in a corner for subtle branding
Good visuals pull people in. The right format keeps them engaged and clicks flowing.
21. Don’t Let Spam Hurt You
The more links you post, the higher the chance you’ll trigger automated spam or misinformation checks.
• Check your Support Inbox and Page Quality section at least once a week
• Appeal clearly wrong violations (e.g., automated misclassification) with concise explanations and source links when relevant
• Avoid formats that look spammy – misleading headlines, repeatedly edited posts, or aggressive engagement bait
Appeal violations immediately. Most of the time, Facebook admits a mistake and removes them.
Violations can happen on any post type, but link shares trigger them the most. Stay vigilant.
22. Handle “Fake News” or Misinformation Violations
If you get a “Fake News” or “Misinformation” violation, appeal it immediately. Don’t wait.
Too many violations will drastically reduce the reach of every post. Strong editorial guidelines are your defense.
A single serious misinformation penalty can drag down reach across your whole page. Follow the appeal process carefully, and the violation usually goes away eventually.
23. Integrate Violation Checks into Your Workflow
Create internal rules – topics you avoid, words you don’t use, guarantees you never make.
Check for violations every day or at least weekly.
Facebook issues:
• Spam violations
• Misinformation violations
• Content violations
• Copyright violations
Each type requires a different response. Handle them like your page’s life depends on it. Trust me, I learned this the hard way.
24. Make Your Traffic Work for You – Unlock High Earnings
You can send millions of clicks to a website and still miss out if monetization is weak. Big traffic means nothing without the right ad setup.
First, use a high-paying ad network. Networks like Raptive or Mediavine typically deliver RPMs 5–10x higher than Ezoic. Even Ezoic earns 2–3x more than Google AdSense.
We once drove 11 million visitors per month to a site. Daily earnings looked decent but the site could’ve easily made 3–10x more with a better network.
25. Best Ad Networks & Approval Requirements
Having worked with almost every major ad network, here’s our ranking:
Raptive > Mediavine > Journey by Mediavine > Ezoic > Google AdSense
To apply, you’ll need at least 10,000 monthly visitors, mostly Tier 1 traffic (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), and high-quality content.
It almost doesn’t make sense to drive mass traffic before approval by a top ad network.
If you’re struggling, DM me, we can guide you through approval.
26. Monetize Your New Website Fast
If you’re just starting a website and driving traffic, start monetizing from Day 1. Don’t wait.
From Day 1:
• Drive a little traffic
• Apply for Google AdSense and relevant affiliate programs
• Install Google Analytics and the Grow by Mediavine plugin on your site
At 1,000 sessions per month: Apply for Ezoic.
At 10,000 sessions per month: Apply for Journey by Mediavine.
At 25,000 pageviews per month (50% Tier 1 traffic): Apply for Raptive. If rejected, apply for Mediavine (50,000 pageviews).
27. Website Speed Matters
Your website must load fast. Slow sites kill earnings. Bounce rates rise, RPM drops.
Facebook traffic already has high bounce rates. Every extra percentage point you add lowers your earnings drastically.
Use a managed, scalable WordPress host that’s reliable and fast. Avoid shared hosting or hosts like GoDaddy and BlueHost.
28. Grow Your Email List with Every Article
Install newsletter subscribe boxes at the top of every article. Add a call to action at the bottom too.
Do this on Day 1, before driving traffic. Collect subscribers from the start.
Offer an incentive if possible. People will sign up faster if there’s a reason – a free guide, checklist, or bonus content.
Capture emails from viral content using Manychat
You can integrate a chat tool like Manychat to turn Facebook engagement into subscribers.
Set up flows so that when someone comments on a Reel, replies to a Story, or DMs a keyword, they get a quick message offering a free resource in exchange for their email, which is then sent straight to your email newsletter sign-up tool.
When this runs on top of viral reels, some publishers get hundreds of new subscribers a day because every spike in views also creates a spike in automated DMs and signups.
Just don’t overdo it with too many apps or complex automations – keep it lean, test everything, and make sure the messages still feel human and friendly.
Your Email List is a Goldmine
If you already have an email list, you might be sitting on a hidden goldmine. Don’t ignore it.
Here’s our team’s experience with email monetization:
• $0.30 per month per subscriber for a lead
• $1.50 per month per subscriber for a buyer
A lead is someone who has never purchased from you. A buyer is a subscriber who has purchased before.
Even small pages with 5,000 engaged subscribers can make $1,000 – $2,000 a month.
Use your own numbers: total email revenue ÷ average subscribers that month = your EPS.
Email is reliable. Even if Facebook reach fluctuates, your list keeps paying.
Reactivating “dead” subscribers and lists
Got a dormant email list? You can bring it back to life with reactivation campaigns.
Our campaigns convert inactive subscribers into leads at a rate of 10–50%, with an average around 25%. Results typically appear in 1–6 months, depending on how dead the list was and its prior activity.
If you have a dormant list, DM me. We can take a look and suggest a strategy to revive it.
Monetize Your Email List
There are multiple ways to earn from your email list:
• Send affiliate promotions that align with your audience’s real problems and goals (choose high-quality ones)
• Drive traffic to your website (emails often generate higher RPM than other sources)
• Negotiate newsletter sponsorships once you have predictable open and click‑through rates
The more subscribers you have, the higher your income potential. Keep the list healthy – don’t spam them, or engagement and earnings will drop.
Balance value and offers: a healthy cadence might be 60–80% content, 20–40% promotions, adjusted by how your audience responds.
29. Network with Other Page Owners
Network with other Facebook page owners and experts across niches and platforms.
Platforms are constantly changing. People are always discovering insights that spread quickly to others.
Share insights, referrals, strategies, followers, and subscribers. Collaborate. This is how we learned what works and now we’re passing it on.
30. Build a defensible brand, not just a viral page
Viral pages make money. Brands build wealth.
If your page looks like everyone else’s, you’re replaceable. And replaceable pages lose reach first when the algorithm tightens.
Here’s how to build defensibility:
• Define a clear niche and sub-niche. Be known for one thing
• Create repeatable content formats your audience recognizes instantly
• Develop a consistent visual identity (fonts, colors, layout, tone)
• Establish a point of view – not just recycled content
A page with personality gets:
• Higher engagement per post
• Better brand deals
• Higher email conversions
• More loyal followers
Anyone can copy a viral post. No one can copy a strong brand.
