How facebook Monetization Works
Facebook primarily pays content creators through Facebook Ad Breaks (in-stream ads) and Stars (gifts from fans). The exact earnings depend on several factors:
Ad Revenue (In-Stream Ads)
Facebook shares revenue from ads that run during your videos.
Earnings depend on:
Number of views
Audience location (US & europe viewers pay more)
Video length and engagement
Ad types shown
Average Estimate:
Facebook pays $0.25 to $1 per 1,000 monetized views.
Monetized views are usually around 40%-60% of total views.
🤑 Earnings for 5,000 Views
Let’s calculate conservatively:
Assume 50% views are monetized:
5,000 × 50% = 2,500 monetized views
Average earnings per 1,000 views: $0.50
Total earnings:
2,500 views ÷ 1,000×$0.50=$1.25\text{2,500 views ÷ 1,000} \times \$0.50 = \$1.252,500 views ÷ 1,000×$0.50=$1.25
💡 Key Insight:
- For 5,000 views, you’ll earn roughly $1–$2 depending on audience location and engagement.
- To earn significant money, you need thousands or millions of views.
