đĽ New Video Breakdown: Facebookâs Content Monetization âLand Grabâ + Our 20-Page Experiment (AI + Automation)
If youâve been trying to make money online as a creator, you already know the old model: - Brand deals - Sponsorships - Driving traffic off-platform - Building on someone elseâs ecosystem Facebook has flipped that model. Right now, Facebook is directly paying creators for everyday content â not just long-form videos, but also: â

âNormalâ daily content⌠as long as it performs + gets engagement This post is a breakdown of the video and what weâre doing behind the scenes. 1) Why Facebook Is Suddenly Interesting Again There are two big reasons weâre taking Facebook seriously now: a) The monetization program has changed Facebook recently moved towards a more unified Content Monetization program. That matters because historically, monetization was confusing and fragmented. Now itâs clearer, simpler, and more accessible (still in beta, but moving fast). b) Facebook is under pressure Facebook is competing hard with: - YouTube - TikTok - Instagram So what do they do to win creators back? They pay creators well to publish content on Facebook. This creates a window where the people who move early can capture an outsized share of reach and payouts before everything gets saturated. 2) The Core Idea: Engagement > Views This is important: Facebook is not rewarding âcheap views.â Itâs rewarding engagement. So if your content doesnât get reactions, comments, shares, saves, etc⌠youâre not going to win long-term. This is not about spamming low-effort posts. If you try to cut corners: - Your reach will get suppressed - Monetization will be harder - Youâll hit policy issues later - And youâll lose momentum when stricter rules come in Weâre building this like long-term digital assets, not quick hacks. 3) Our Experiment: 20 Pages, 20 Niches, Real Data Instead of building one page and guessing⌠We built 20 pages across a broad spread of niches, for one reason: đ Data. We want to know:
