Facebook has officially introduced a new unified system for earning money called “Content Monetisation”, bringing together all previous monetisation methods under one name. This move opens up broader opportunities for content creators to generate income — as long as they meet the necessary eligibility requirements.
What Is Content Monetisation?
Content Monetisation is a system that allows creators to earn money directly from their posts on Facebook, including:
• Text posts
• Photos
• Text combined with images
• Videos and Reels
According to recent updates, text and image-based posts are now even more profitable than standard video uploads — a surprising shift that benefits creators with strong storytelling or photography skills.
“If you used to say ‘I can’t record videos,’ now is your chance — your photo and text can make you money,” said one Somali content creator who has embraced the new model.
A Message to the Youth: Turn Creativity Into Cash
Young people are encouraged to invest their time wisely and use social media platforms for positive, creative, and income-generating purposes, rather than wasting energy on tribal conflicts or unproductive debates.
“Stop wasting time on clan politics. Build your life with creativity and dignity through social media,” the message reads.
How to Get Started?
To qualify for monetisation, creators typically need:
• A Facebook Page with at least 5,000 followers
• Compliance with Facebook’s monetisation and community standards
• 60,000 total minutes of views on video content over the past 60 days (for video monetisation)
Conclusion
This is a golden opportunity for Somali youth with creative minds. You don’t need expensive equipment — just original ideas and commitment. Whether through storytelling, photos, or thoughtful posts, Facebook is offering a platform where passion can turn into profit.
