| Terms of profit from Facebook |
Terms of profit from Facebook may seem unclear to some, given that the platform itself does not display them clearly to users. Personally, it took me some searching to get to it, and even when I did find it, I found it vague and undefined most of the time.
Therefore, in this article, we explain to you the terms of profit from Facebook in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and explain them to you in detail to help you start profiting from Facebook in a confident and conscious manner.
Terms of profit from Facebook
1. Create and publish content on one of the publishing channels supported by Facebook
Well, what are the intended publishing channels? Currently, Facebook supports profit by publishing content through several channels:
- pages.
- Professional personal accounts.
- Event pages.
- Groups.
These are the official channels that posting on is one of the conditions for profit from Facebook. Note that these channels are not regular personal accounts. Finally, posting paid content on Facebook that leads to another site that may be part of the means of profit from this platform.
For example, a company agreed with you to create visual content in exchange for a sum of money. This content aims to push your page followers to visit a website or electronic application outside of Facebook. This content may be seen by Facebook as content in which ads can be added and profited from.
The word “may” here means that profit from this method is a possibility and is not certain. Therefore, this type of publication is not considered an official channel through which profit can be made from Facebook.
2. Being in a country that is eligible to profit from Facebook
One of the conditions for profit from Facebook is that you publish your content from within the list of countries eligible to profit from this platform. Do not worry, most of the Arab countries are on this list, which currently includes about 52 countries.
For further confirmation; You can view all countries eligible to profit from Facebook through the official platform page. Of course, the list is subject to change in terms of deletion or addition according to the directions of advertisers whose ads will appear in the published content.
There is another factor that you should pay attention to regarding publishing in countries, which is the languages supported by voice by Facebook. Currently, the platform supports about 37 languages that are continuously updated.
In other words, if the video was published from a country eligible for profit, but it is in a language outside the supported languages, you will not be able to earn profits through it. Once again, do not worry, as the Arabic language is supported by the platform. Nevertheless, this matter must be noted.
Finally, if you use more than one language in the videos you publish or pronounce in another language, here choose the primary video language only when adding the video to Facebook and do not add any other languages.
This will make it easier for the platform to choose the right ads for your video and get the maximum possible profit from it.
3. Adhere to the Facebook posting rules and etiquette
Facebook does not support monetization through some types of content, which are:
- Content that contains hate speech (against a race, religion or community group).
- Content calling for verbal or physical violence.
- Pornographic content (either directly or containing sexual innuendo).
- Content that promotes any immoral behavior.
- Any content that violates intellectual property laws.
- Any non-original (stolen) content.
- Any content that threatens the safety of users in one way or another.
This is almost the most important condition for profit from Facebook, and we must emphasize the importance of adhering to this condition to the maximum degree when creating your content, and reviewing it more than once before uploading it to the platform permanently.
I think you have noticed that the Facebook administration deals firmly with pages that display content that violates its policy in general. There is a specialized team that constantly reviews the content, and this team is often well versed in the language of the content it reviews.
In other words, any attempt to manipulate or circumvent these terms will not work, but may cause a double penalty on your page. You can always check your Page's notifications for any warnings or comments from Facebook's Content Review Department.
Also, you may unintentionally publish content that you did not create yourself as a way of support or admiration, especially if it relates to the domain of your page. That's understandable, though it's important to consider the terms of posting unoriginal content or violating copyright laws.
Always remember that the original owners of this content have the right to report it to the Facebook administration to have it removed from your page. Usually, you can identify this type of content and avoid publishing it easily, especially if it is visual and audio.
Finally, if you will use music clips in your content, make sure that these clips are not subject to intellectual property laws. Of course, you can apply to review any content because of which you received any warnings from Facebook.
4. Stick to Facebook's profit rules
To profit from posting content on Facebook, this content must be subject to an additional review process. This process includes reviewing the content based on a set of precise policies and conditions for it, which are called content monetization policies:
a) Types of content not monetized by Facebook
- Video clips that are static, contain a single image with no movement, or contain little movement.
- Single-image surveys for the purpose of asking users to interact by liking, commenting, etc.
- Video clips that consist of images that are displayed sequentially.
- Video clips that contain one clip repeated more than once (also includes animated pictures or gifs).
- Videos that contain an image in which a word or words appear repeatedly.
- Videos with external ads added or when Facebook ads appear.
b) Avoid posting content that contains prohibited behavior such as
- Content that prompts users to click on a link, or interact with the content by commenting, tagging, or liking.
- Content that demands payment from users to obtain prohibited substances (narcotics or pornographic content).
- Preparing or polarizing debates on topics such as races, genders, and religions.
- Content that promotes or encourages an act such as physical harm, killing, or insult.
- Promote prohibited acts such as theft, threats or vandalism.
- Promoting disgraceful or inappropriate acts or practices.
- Your content should not contain profanity or obscene language.
- Your content should not contain topics that discuss disgusting operations or surgeries.
d) The published content does not fall under the prohibited content, eg
- Contains information that has been verified as incorrect by Facebook's Fact Check system.
- It contains medical information that has been proven incorrect by international medical institutions (such as the World Health Organization).
5. Post honest content
Facebook is keen to contain truthful and correct information at all times, this means that content that includes incorrect information or rumors may not be eligible for profit (the word may here is already mentioned on the Facebook profit terms page).
In general, the presence of a word may mean that there is a possibility that this content is eligible for profit. Eligibility or not usually depends on the context of the content itself and the message it is working to deliver to followers.
Funny rumours, for example, or false information that the owner of the content indicated was false before publishing it, may be eligible for profit, however, since this matter cannot be fully proven, so it may cause your page to not qualify for profit in full, so it is preferable to avoid publishing it.
Other than rumors and fake news; Publishing controversial content for the purpose of urging users to interact with it is undesirable, and as is the case with the previous type of content, Facebook makes clear that your publication of this type of content may disqualify you from profiting from it.
You can find more information about publishing engaging content on Facebook through the official platform link.
The last type of content that falls into this category is content posted as content from an authorized entity. In other words, publishing content belonging to an official body such as government agencies (such as laws) may not be subject to profit, and your page may lose its eligibility for profit as well.
6. Post original content
You can earn through Facebook when you create exclusive content, that is, content that you created yourself.
or belongs to one of these categories:
- contributed to its creation.
- You appeared in it yourself.
- You have reproduced it (added your comment or re-edited it).
Finally, content created by another company for purposes such as marketing and posting on Facebook may be eligible for profit, due to the possibility that it will be classified as original content by the platform.
7. Count on real interaction from your followers
Profit from Facebook is done through interaction with the content, and this interaction must be characterized by the following:
- The source of the views and interaction of the followers is real, and none of them were acquired by any illegal means.
- Followers must be real followers, acquired naturally, and not through software or illegal means.
- Interact without resorting to circumvention or deceiving followers.
8. Stick to the payment rules
As a content publisher on Facebook, you must comply with the payment rules of this platform, in order to be able to receive your profits through it. These rules include a set of terms and policies related to conducting financial transactions on Facebook (payment and receiving profits).
For clarification, these rules concern people who make funded ads on Facebook more than those who receive their profits from it. However, we recommend that you view the full terms of payment through Facebook for more information on this matter.
9. Follow the terms of publication on pages, groups and event pages
As a publisher on Facebook, you must comply with a set of rules related to posting on Pages, groups, and event pages, including:
a) Prohibited Business Practices: not promote products, services, schemes or offers using deceptive or misleading business practices, including those intended to deceive people out of money or personal information.
b) Impersonation: Pages, groups, and event pages must not impersonate or misrepresent a brand, entity, or public figure, but if this occurs for purposes such as support or interest, the name or description must make it clear that this is not an official representation.
c) Gambling: Prior written permission must be obtained from Facebook management before promoting online gambling. Games that require payment of a material consideration (cash or digital currencies) to participate in, and the prize for which is presented or part in material form are also subject to the same law.
Common types of gambling or gaming activities that may require permission before posting content include:
- betting.
- the lottery.
- Prize draw.
- Casino games.
- Fantasy sports such as fantasy football and similar games.
- Bingo.
- poker.
- Skill games tournaments.
- sweepstakes type lottery games.
- Stimulus
Pages, groups, and event pages must not encourage people to misuse Facebook features or functionality.
d) Drug and alcohol addiction treatment: Misleading drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers must not be promoted, and any content that encourages participation in practices that harm patients or violates applicable laws must not be published.
e) Comply with Facebook Platform Policies: Apps on Pages, Groups or Event Pages must comply with the Facebook Platform Policies.
The intended policies here are:
We advise you to review the previous policies only if the content that you will publish on your page is related to an electronic application.
These were the basic policies for Pages, groups, and event pages. There are other policies that should be viewed, especially through the Facebook policies page for pages and groups, such as policies for page promotion and data collection.
10. Build a strong presence on Facebook
One of the easiest conditions for profit from Facebook is to build a strong presence on the platform. Achieving this condition requires working on the following:
a) Constant presence on Facebook
You need to be present on Facebook for a period of at least 30 days in order to be able to strengthen your presence on the platform. The platform did not clarify whether this condition means presence in general or presence through the means of publication.
Nevertheless, we will assume that what is meant is to be present on the means on which you will publish your content, as it is logical. This means entering daily on your page, and it is not required to publish daily or for the period required to achieve this condition. Of course, if you can do that, then this is excellent.
b) Connect with your followers
Presence and even posting continuously cannot be relied upon exclusively in order to build a strong presence on Facebook. Your communication with the followers of your page or the group in which you post continuously contributes to building your presence on this platform easily and quickly.
c) Having a large number of followers
Communication with followers plays an important role in building attendance, especially if the number of followers of your page or members of your group is large.
In fact, Facebook does not require obtaining a certain number of followers in order to be able to qualify for profit from adding ads and profiting from them, however, increasing followers to the largest possible number is always a useful behavior.
d) Post several videos
Facebook ads appear in video clips, and therefore it is required that your page contains an appropriate number of these clips, what is the number? Again, Facebook did not disclose the required number, but with the same previous logic, it is preferable that you add clips as much as possible.
In general, any page owner always works to increase the number of followers and continuously add content to his page. Increasing followers and clips is always useful, whether you have already joined the Facebook profit program or have not yet joined it.
11. Adhere to the rules for publishing about political events and governments
Pages, groups, and event pages of the following political and government entities are not eligible for Facebook monetization:
- Current elected and appointed government officials.
- Current political candidates.
- political parties.
- Registered political committees.
- Government agencies and departments.
- Communications that are organized as political advertising under applicable law.
12. Do not associate with any other parties that do not comply with the rules of Facebook
Facebook management simply asks you not to engage in the promotion of content belonging to a third party that does not comply with any of the previous terms. An important thing to keep in mind when looking at this requirement is that it applies to your publishing medium even before you start monetizing it.
That is, your posting of content belonging to a party that does not comply with Facebook standards may cause you to be disqualified from earning, even if it was a long time ago.
To ensure that you join the Facebook profit program, do not violate this condition. Finally, unfortunately, if you promote content to an entity that later violates Facebook standards or policies, you may lose your eligibility to profit from the platform.
In this article, we introduced you to the terms of profit from Facebook. As you have noticed, the conditions may seem a little scary, but in fact they are not, and the evidence is the millions of people who make profits amounting to thousands of dollars per month through this platform.
