# # Facebook Monetization Requirements
The screenshot you shared shows that you are "Not yet eligible" for monetization. This means you haven't yet met the specific criteria Facebook requires to start paying you.
# # # 1. Stars
This allows your fans to support you by sending digital "Stars" during your videos or Reels, which you can convert into cash.
* How to unlock: You typically need at least 500 followers for 30 or 60 consecutive days.
* Status: Check the "See why" link in your app to see exactly how many more followers you need.
# # # 2. Subscriptions
This allows your most loyal fans to pay a monthly fee to access exclusive content, badges, or a private community.
* How to unlock: This usually requires a larger audience. The standard requirements are often 10,000 followers OR 5,000 followers plus a specific amount of engagement (like 180,000 watch minutes).
# # # 3. Content Monetization (Ads on Reels/In-Stream Ads)
This is where Facebook places ads on your videos and shares the revenue with you.
* How to unlock: As shown in your image, this is "Invite only."
* What to do: There is no "apply" button for this yet. You must consistently post original content and build a high view count. Facebook’s system will automatically send you an invitation once you hit their internal performance benchmarks.
# # # Key Tips to Speed Up the Process:
* Stay Original: Avoid posting videos with watermarks from other apps (like TikTok) or content owned by others (movies, music you don't own). Facebook is very strict about "Originality of Content."
* Check Policies: Ensure your account has no "Policy Violations." You can check this in your Professional Dashboard under "Profile Recommendation" or "Monetization."
* Engage: Post consistently and reply to comments. The more "Watch Time" you accumulate, the faster Facebook will unlock these features for you.
Pro Tip: Click on the ">" arrow next to each category in your app; it will show you a progress bar indicating exactly how close you are to reaching the goal!
