To submit the Facebook Content Monetization interest form, open the Facebook mobile app, go to your Professional Dashboard, tap the Monetization tab, then tap Content Monetization. On desktop, the same path runs through Meta Business Suite under the Monetization section.1Meta. Creator Fast Track: A New Way to Quickly Grow Your Audience and Earn Money on Facebook The program is invite-only, and the form is how you tell Meta you want in. Submitting it is not an application and does not guarantee enrollment, but it puts you on the radar for a future invitation.2Meta for Business. About Facebook Content Monetisation for Creators
Check These Requirements Before You Submit
Meta evaluates your account against a fixed set of requirements when you express interest. Confirming them yourself first saves you from submitting into a wall.
Account type. You need a Facebook Page or a profile in professional mode. Standard personal profiles don’t support monetization tools.3Meta for Business. How to Check Your Monetization Eligibility on a Facebook Page or Profile If you’re on a personal profile, you can switch to professional mode in your profile settings without losing followers or content. Your account also needs to be at least 30 days old.
Partner Monetization Policies. Your Page or profile must comply with Meta’s Partner Monetization Policies, which cover operating from an eligible country, posting on an eligible surface, following Community Standards, and meeting the separate Content Monetization Policies.4Meta for Business. Partner Monetization Policies Recent Community Standards violations or content strikes can disqualify you even if everything else looks fine.
Viewership thresholds for video. For in-stream ad eligibility, Meta measures views over a rolling 60-day window. Video on demand requires 60,000 total minutes viewed in the last 60 days, drawn from on-demand, live, or previously live videos, but not crossposted, boosted, or paid watch time. Live video requires 600,000 total minutes viewed in the last 60 days, with at least 60,000 of those coming from live broadcasts.5Meta for Creators. In-Stream Ads The broader Content Monetization program may weigh different signals, but hitting these numbers strengthens your position.
Original content. Meta expects original or meaningfully transformative work. Reposted videos, compiled clips you didn’t produce, and content that triggers copyright claims will hurt your chances.
How to See Your Current Eligibility Status
You can check exactly where you stand before submitting. On desktop, go to Meta Business Suite, click Monetization in the left sidebar (if you don’t see it, open All tools and find it under Sell products and services), then click View Page eligibility in the Status section. On mobile, open the Professional Dashboard and tap Monetization.3Meta for Business. How to Check Your Monetization Eligibility on a Facebook Page or Profile The eligibility screen shows whether your Page or profile meets each policy requirement and flags anything blocking you.
Filling Out and Submitting the Form
The form itself is short. You’ll confirm which Page or professional profile you want to monetize, and Meta pulls most of the account details automatically. Make sure the contact email on your account is one you actively monitor, because that’s where Meta sends follow-up requests or status updates. Double-check that your Page name, category, and URL match what’s listed in your Page’s About section; mismatches can slow the review.
Once the details are verified, submit. A confirmation screen acknowledges that your interest has been logged. There’s no fee, no supporting documents to upload, and no interview.
What Happens After You Submit
Your submission enters Meta’s review queue. Meta reviews expressed interest alongside your Page’s performance data, content quality, and policy compliance history before deciding whether to extend an invitation.2Meta for Business. About Facebook Content Monetisation for Creators Meta does not publish a timeline. Some creators report hearing back within weeks; others wait months.
While you wait, keep posting original content and avoid Community Standards violations. A new strike while your interest form is pending can knock you out of consideration. Status updates arrive through the Meta Business Suite Support Inbox or the email address on your account.
If you don’t receive an invitation, you can resubmit the interest form later, after improving your content metrics or resolving whatever flagged your account.
If You Get Invited: Payout and Tax Setup
An invitation triggers onboarding, which requires linking a payout method and submitting tax documentation before Meta releases any earnings.
U.S. creators complete a W-9, which Meta uses to issue a 1099 at year-end. Creators outside the United States complete a W-8BEN, which establishes foreign-person status and may qualify you for a reduced withholding rate or exemption.6Meta for Business. How to Update Tax Information for Facebook Payouts Both are handled inside your Meta payout settings.
Meta pays monthly for the prior month’s earnings. You link a bank account (or, in some regions, another supported payment method) through your payout settings. A minimum payout balance applies before Meta processes a transfer; U.S. bank accounts have a relatively low minimum, while wire transfers carry a higher threshold. Check your payout settings for the exact minimums in your country.
Tax Obligations Once the Payments Start
For U.S. creators, money earned through Facebook Content Monetization counts as self-employment income, not wages from an employer. On top of regular income tax, you owe self-employment tax at a combined 15.3% rate, split into 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.7Internal Revenue Service. Self-Employment Tax (Social Security and Medicare Taxes) An additional 0.9% Medicare surtax applies to net self-employment earnings above $200,000 ($250,000 if married filing jointly).
Because no employer is withholding, you may need to make estimated tax payments to the IRS each quarter. For the 2026 tax year, payments are due April 15, June 15, and September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027; you can skip the January payment if you file your full 2026 return and pay the balance by February 1, 2027.8Internal Revenue Service. 2026 Form 1040-ES Setting aside roughly 25–30% of each payout for taxes keeps most creators out of underpayment penalty territory. Keep your own records of monthly payouts through the year rather than waiting for Meta’s annual summary, especially if you’re calculating quarterly estimates.
