Monetizing on Facebook sounds simple – post content, grow an audience, and watch the payouts come in. But the reality is trickier. Meta enforces strict rules, and one wrong move can lock you out of earnings entirely.
That’s why we built the Monetization Eligibility Checker. It mirrors the same checks Meta uses (Partner Monetization Policies, Content Monetization Policies, and Page Quality) so you can spot problems before they cost you revenue. It’s quick, transparent, and designed to give you clear next steps.
This guide shows you how Facebook monetization works, why the rules matter, and how to use the Checker. Creators, brands, and agencies finally get a repeatable pre-check.
How you can monetize your content on Facebook
Facebook offers multiple ways to turn your audience into income, but each path has its own rules and eligibility standards. Understanding these options helps you choose the right mix for your content strategy.
Monetization Through Videos
In-Stream Ads (for video content)
In-stream ads allow Facebook to insert short advertisements before, during, or after your videos. They work best with longer videos, ideally three minutes or more, where ad breaks feel natural. Eligibility usually requires at least 10,000 followers and 600,000 minutes of watch time in the past 60 days.
Reels Ads (Overlay & Post-loop Ads)
Reels ads are a newer format where Facebook inserts banners, stickers, or short video ads directly into your Reels. They often appear as overlays or after a Reel loops, giving you revenue on content that Meta actively promotes across feeds.
Monetization Through Posts & Fan Support
Stars
Stars let fans support you directly by purchasing Stars and sending them during your streams or on eligible posts. Each Star is worth about one cent to you, and popular creators can earn steady fan-driven revenue through this feature.
Subscriptions (Fan Subscriptions)
Subscriptions allow you to create a monthly membership program where followers pay for exclusive posts, perks, or community access. This model works best when you already have a loyal audience – usually over 10,000 followers with strong engagement.
Paid Online Events
You can host interactive events like workshops, concerts, or Q&A sessions and charge fans to attend. Paid Online Events turn one-off content into premium experiences, combining live interaction with direct monetization.
Monetization Through Partnerships
Branded Content
Branded content means collaborating directly with companies who pay you to feature their products or services. To make this safe and transparent, Facebook offers the Brand Collabs Manager, which connects you with businesses seeking influencers for campaigns.
Affiliate Links & External Offers
While not a built-in Facebook feature, you can earn by sharing affiliate links or external offers in posts. These opportunities must comply with local laws and Facebook’s monetization policies, but when allowed, they provide an extra revenue layer.
Monetization on Facebook explained
Monetization on Facebook depends on strict rules that check both your account and your content. To start earning, you need to understand the core policies and where to confirm your official status.
The building blocks you must pass
Partner Monetization Policies (PMP) set the baseline: who you are, where you operate, authenticity, Page quality, and overall policy compliance. If you’re out of compliance here, you can’t turn on monetization features at all.
%20-%20overview.jpg)
Content Monetization Policies (CMP) apply to the content itself. Meta checks originality, brand safety, and other standards before ads can run on a specific post. Passing PMP alone is not enough – your individual content must also comply.
Where to see your official status
Use Professional Dashboard → Monetization to view eligibility, policy issues, and Page Quality in one place. This is the source of truth you should consult before and after any changes.
How monetization works at a glance
Facebook offers monetization features when both your account and your content meet policy requirements (PMP + CMP). Meta’s official creator pages emphasize that adherence to these policies and Community Standards is required for any earning features.
Music Revenue Sharing: for eligible Facebook videos that use qualifying licensed songs, creators receive 20% of in-stream ad revenue when all criteria are met. This is format-dependent and not universal – always verify eligibility in the dashboard.
Program changes to keep in mind in 2025
Meta is consolidating programs. In-stream Ads, Ads on Reels, and the Performance Bonus Program stop paying after August 31, 2025, with creators being invited into a new Facebook monetization experience. Plan your strategy with this cutoff in mind and confirm details in your dashboard.

Common reasons eligibility fails
Country or age not meeting requirements in the dashboard.
Page Quality issues from repeated policy violations.
Unoriginal or brand-unsafe content that can’t serve ads under CMP.
Assuming music equals monetization: eligible use of licensed music may still route revenue via sharing or limit formats; it doesn’t override PMP/CMP.
Why we built the Monetization Eligibility Checker
We designed the Monetization Eligibility Checker to give creators, brands, and agencies a clear way to test their readiness for monetization before relying solely on Facebook’s dashboard.
What the checker does
The checker provides a transparent, educational estimator of your readiness based on the same categories Meta surfaces in the dashboard: PMP, CMP, Page Quality, age, country, originality, and recent violations. It gives you an upfront look at potential blockers.
It also produces a tiered outcome (Likely Eligible, Needs Fixes, or Not Eligible Yet) with clear actions tied to each weak spot. That way, you know exactly what to work on before publishing or applying for monetization.
What the checker does not do
The checker doesn’t replace your official status. It mirrors Facebook’s policy logic so you can triage problems quickly, then confirm or fix items in Professional Dashboard → Monetization. Your dashboard always remains the final source of truth.
Inputs explained and why they matter
Each input in the Checker reflects a rule Facebook already applies. Knowing why they matter helps you understand what drives your eligibility and where problems can block monetization.
Profile basics
Page or Professional-mode profile determines which monetization products are open to you. Facebook treats them differently in PMP and CMP reviews, so your setup directly influences what programs appear in your dashboard and how eligibility is checked.
Age 18+ is a hard requirement for many features, including Stars, Subscriptions, and in-stream ads. If you are under eighteen, monetization is blocked entirely. The Checker highlights this so you don’t pursue unavailable options.
Country availability is equally important. Monetization features only roll out in approved regions. If your dashboard shows your country as ineligible, no amount of original content or followers will switch monetization on until availability changes.
Policy standing
PMP status shows who you are, how genuine your presence is, and if your Page follows Meta’s rules. If your PMP is flagged, monetization tools stay locked. Content quality cannot override a failed PMP review.
CMP status focuses on your posts and videos. Even if your Page is eligible, Meta checks originality and ad safety before serving ads on each post. A CMP failure means that specific content cannot earn money.
Page Quality brings everything together. If your Page has repeated misinformation strikes, spam, or other violations, monetization can be cut off platform-wide. This metric shows how Facebook views the overall trustworthiness of your account.
Content signals
Originality is one of the strongest factors. Facebook rewards fresh, creator-made content and penalizes obvious reposts, compilations, or clips that offer little transformation. Without originality, your videos will almost always fail monetization checks.
Brand-safety ensures advertisers feel comfortable appearing next to your content. Even if posts remain on the platform, anything shocking, misleading, or adult-focused risks being ineligible for ads. This is often where creators lose revenue.
Recent violations matter because Facebook reviews your last ninety days closely. A clean record helps unlock features, while recent warnings make your Page look unreliable. The Checker weighs this because fresh infractions reduce your chances quickly.
Program interest
In-stream Video, Ads on Reels, and Bonuses have been central to Facebook’s monetization. However, Meta ends payouts from these programs on August 31, 2025. The Checker reminds you that these options will no longer generate earnings.
Music Revenue Sharing allows certain Facebook videos using licensed songs to earn ad revenue, but the payout is split with rights holders. The Checker sets expectations by showing that music monetization is limited and never bypasses PMP or CMP.

How the scoring model works
The Checker uses weighted signals that mirror Meta’s real eligibility checks. Each answer you provide contributes to an overall outcome, showing if you can likely monetize, need fixes, or fall into the not eligible category.
Tiers you will see
Likely Eligible (estimate): This outcome means the Checker found no major issues across PMP, CMP, Page Quality, country, or age. It signals readiness, but you should always confirm and complete onboarding steps in the Professional Dashboard.
Needs Fixes (estimate): This result highlights friction points such as Page Quality warnings, smaller CMP concerns, or unclear country status. You may be close, but monetization remains uncertain until you clear these issues and recheck your dashboard.
Not Eligible Yet (estimate): This result shows serious blockers like failing PMP, having restricted Page Quality, or being located in an ineligible country. These problems prevent monetization entirely, so you should resolve them before posting new monetizable content.
What contributes to your score
High-weight items: Partner Monetization Policies, Content Monetization Policies, and Page Quality carry the most weight. Failing in these areas almost always stops monetization, which is why the Checker treats them as decisive signals when calculating results.
Medium-weight items: Originality, brand safety, and recent violations play a smaller but still important role. They can determine if individual videos qualify, even when your Page appears eligible overall, making them critical to sustaining long-term monetization health.
Contextual items: Program choice and the 2025 consolidation don’t penalize your score but shape the guidance you see. They explain why some programs end on August 31, 2025, and why future earnings depend on new invitations.
Interpreting your result and what to do next
The Checker’s output points you toward the next steps. No matter if you appear ready, need fixes, or are blocked, each result provides clear actions you can take before publishing or applying for monetization.
If you see Likely Eligible
Confirm eligibility in your Professional Dashboard and complete any setup tasks such as connecting payouts, granting permissions, or enabling two-factor authentication. These steps ensure your account is fully prepared to start receiving revenue.
Publish original and brand-safe content consistently to protect your CMP standing. Even small lapses in quality or reuse can undermine eligibility, so treat every post as a chance to reinforce compliance.
If you plan to use licensed music in Facebook videos, review the Music Revenue Sharing program carefully. Always verify if the track qualifies, and track each video’s eligibility directly in your dashboard.
If you see Needs Fixes
Open Professional Dashboard → Monetization and Page Quality to identify the exact policy creating problems. Addressing flagged issues here is the fastest way to restore or unlock monetization features.
Strengthen originality by editing with intent – transform reused material meaningfully, or better yet, create content from scratch. Facebook favors creators who demonstrate fresh value in every upload, which helps avoid CMP restrictions.
Re-run the Checker after you’ve resolved policy warnings to confirm your progress. This gives you a reliable before-and-after snapshot and keeps your team aligned on what’s been fixed.
If you see Not Eligible Yet
Address PMP blockers first. Failing PMP means you cannot monetize, no matter how strong your content is. Authentication, compliance, and Page integrity must be resolved before anything else.
If your country is ineligible, shift focus to building your audience while you wait for Meta to expand availability. You can also diversify income streams off-platform to reduce dependency.
If you believe restrictions are a mistake, use Meta’s appeal process. Provide clear documentation, respond promptly, and check the resolution inside your dashboard. This path can restore eligibility if errors are involved.
Step-by-step guide to using the checker
Using the Checker works best when you treat it like a rehearsal for Meta’s own review. Each stage – before you start, while you run it, and after you read results – mirrors what actually happens in Facebook’s systems.
Before you begin
Gather the basics about your Page: its name, the type of profile you run (Page or Professional-mode), your country, and a quick snapshot of the past ninety days of content and notices. These inputs shape every eligibility decision.
Keep your Professional Dashboard open in another tab. That way, as you answer each field in the Checker, you can cross-check the official status and make sure your inputs reflect what Meta already shows you.
Run the self-check
Start by selecting if you’re operating as a Page or a Professional-mode profile.Confirm that you meet the age requirement of eighteen or older, and select your country to align with Meta’s availability list.
Next, set PMP, CMP, and Page Quality exactly as they appear in your Professional Dashboard. This avoids guesswork and ensures the Checker reflects the same red flags Meta uses when determining monetization eligibility.
Provide an honest sense of originality and brand safety based on your last ten to twenty posts. If your content has been a mix, lean toward the stricter option. This determines if the tool highlights content risks.
Finally, tick the monetization programs you’re aiming for. The Checker uses this to tailor guidance, including reminders that legacy features such as In-stream Ads and Reels payouts end after August 31, 2025.
Read your output like a reviewer
When you see your result, focus first on the top three fixes the tool recommends. These are the fastest routes back to eligibility and mirror the priorities Meta uses when auditing accounts.
Do not try to overwhelm policy issues with more content. PMP failures or a poor Page Quality score will always block you. The only solution is to resolve the underlying policy problem first.
Re-run and document
After you’ve made changes or cleared violations in your dashboard, run the Checker again and note the outcome. Each new pass shows if your fixes moved you closer to eligibility.
Maintain a simple eligibility log with dates, issues resolved, and your most recent status. This record not only helps you stay organized but also gives clients or internal stakeholders clear proof of progress over time.
Best practices that the checker reinforces
Policy-first planning is the most important lesson. Partner Monetization Policies act as the gatekeeper, while Content Monetization Policies serve as the filter for each video or post. If you design content that is original, advertiser-friendly, and easy to defend, you reduce the risk of violations and protect long-term eligibility.
Format strategy becomes critical in 2025 as Meta phases out legacy programs. With In-stream Ads, Reels Ads, and Performance Bonuses ending on August 31, you should shift your focus to the consolidated program. Pay attention to the formats highlighted in your dashboard and regularly check for new invitations or updates to adapt quickly.
Smart music usage remains a recurring theme. The safest choice is always Meta’s own Sound Collection or tracks you have explicitly licensed for Facebook use. If you rely on popular or licensed songs in videos, be prepared for revenue sharing under Music Revenue Sharing and verify eligibility in your dashboard before you publish.
Implementation notes for teams
The Checker is most effective when it becomes part of your team’s daily publishing workflow. Treat it like a pre-flight inspection that ensures policy compliance before any post goes live or report is shared.
Who should run the checker
Creators should run the Checker before applying for monetization or launching a new series. This step helps confirm that the account clears PMP and CMP requirements before they invest effort in long-term campaigns.
Editors benefit from using the Checker during pre-publish reviews. By verifying Page Quality, originality, and brand safety at this stage, they can flag issues early and avoid publishing content that risks demonetization.
Account managers should also run the Checker before reporting results to clients. Including eligibility data in updates helps explain why revenue may fluctuate and provides reassurance that compliance is being tracked systematically.
How to integrate into your workflow
Make the Checker a permanent item on your pre-publish checklist. Running it alongside content reviews ensures that no post goes live without first passing the same criteria Meta will enforce.
Require each team member to submit a screenshot or export of Checker results when delivering content for approval. This creates a clear record of compliance and accountability across the production process.
Archive PMP and CMP status screenshots monthly to build a history of improvements over time. Having this documentation makes it easier to demonstrate progress to clients or resolve disputes if monetization status is ever challenged.
What to remember
Partner Monetization Policies grant access to monetization, while Content Monetization Policies judge each post or video on its own. Without passing both, no content strategy can reliably generate earnings.
The Professional Dashboard is Meta’s official source of truth, and every eligibility or restriction lives there. Use the Checker only to spot and fix issues quickly before confirming in the dashboard.
Plan for change as Meta consolidates monetization programs in 2025. Build a strategy that adjusts to current availability, and keep receipts, screenshots, and logs for every change so you can prove compliance when needed.
At Audiodrome, we create interactive tools designed to simplify music licensing and monetization. They help creators, agencies, and businesses avoid common mistakes, save time, and stay compliant while building content that earns fairly across platforms.
Each tool translates complex rules into clear, practical guidance. Our goal is to give you confidence before publishing, ensuring your projects are protected, professional, and ready to succeed in a fast-changing media landscape.
