Facebook monetization in Pakistan in 2023- Step-By-Step Guide

Just like Youtube monetization Meta (parent company of Facebook) also launched its monetization program. Now creators earn money from Facebook. In this article, we will discuss Facebook monetization in Pakistan and all queries related to Facebook monetization.

Facebook Monetization in Pakistan

Facebook started monetization long back, but it was not available in Pakistan. 

On December 10, 2022, Bilawal Bhutto took to his Twitter account to say that he had visited Facebook’s Singapore office. And Facebook’s monetization has been turned on in Pakistan. But this is only star monetization. With this feature, creators can enable the star option on their reels. The stars option starts showing above the Like button. When users click on the star instead of the Like button they can earn money.

Facebook pays its creators for every star audience gives on reels. According to Facebook, it gives you 0.01 USD for every star. It means that if you receive 100 stars on reels then Facebook gives you $1.

Creators can also turn on stars on Live streaming. If you have a large audience then this feature will help you a lot. During live streaming, you can ask the audience to send stars and then withdraw them into dollars.

Tips to get more and more stars:

If the stars feature is available on your page then follow these tips to get more stars.

• Ask people to send stars: If you create educational content or any other important content. So write a comment and pin it in the comment section. In this comment, you can explain what stars are and how they help you. If you are giving knowledge to the audience then definitely people will send you stars.
• Announce Giveaway: During the Live session, you can set a goal of stars in order to announce the giveaway. Tell your audience that I will announce a giveaway if I receive 1k stars. Then surely people will give you stars.
• Give protocol to star senders: If some people are regularly sending stars to you. Then give them protocol in a live session. Thanks them in the live session or join them in your live session. In this way, more and more people send you stars in order to enter into live sessions.

Bilawal Bhutto brings only stars monetization but in-stream ads are still not available in Pakistan.

But even before that, Pakistani content creators were making money from Facebook pages. For this purpose, they used to make an admin of a country that has Facebook monetization as an admin. And for payment, they use international banks such as Wise. Officially Facebook monetization is not in Pakistan.

As you see now, advertisements started on many Facebook IDs, which did not exist before. Ads have started coming on my id now. The screenshot of which is below. Facebook monetization is in testing in Pakistan. On older ids, ads are coming.

If you have a Facebook page and want to monetize then try to focus on the international audience, not on the Pakistani audience. In order to make money on a Facebook page you have to place ads. Earning depends upon how many times ads are shown on your videos.

In Pakistan ads are showing on 20% ids so if your audience is from Pakistan then you cannot earn more. If your videos are recommended in Pakistan then you can earn limited dollars. Try to focus on an international audience.

Methods you can use to make money from Facebook

Facebook offers many ways for its creators to make money from it. These features are

• In-Stream Ads: This feature is for video creators. You have to place ads just like Youtube in your videos to earn money. Facebook offers three types of In-Stream ads including pre-roll, mid-roll, and banner ad formats. You can place ads in your videos without overwhelming your audience. You have full control over ads and which types of ads you want to show on videos. You can also exclude videos from advertisements.
• Branded Content: In this option, you can collaborate with brands and create sponsored content for different brands. Generate income with collaboration. For example, tech creators with a huge fan following are earning a lot. When a new mobile is released then mobile companies approach them to review their mobile and for this collaboration, they pay to creators.
• Fans subscription: In this option, your fans send you stars and you will be paid instead of stars in dollars.
• Affiliate Marketing: You can sell brands’ products on Facebook and earn commission from sales. If you have a fan following in the millions then this option is best for you. Join brand affiliate programs and then share your affiliate links with the audience. When the audience purchases from your affiliate link you will get commission.

But In-stream ads are the best option for earning from Facebook. Now let’s talk about the criteria of instream ads.
