How to Make Money on Facebook Without Relying on Ads


If you’ve been demonetized on Facebook or just aren’t making enough from ads, don’t worry—you can still make money! Facebook offers multiple income streams beyond in-stream ads. In this blog, I’ll share real, effective ways to earn on Facebook without relying on ad revenue.


1. Facebook Stars (For Live & Video Creators)


Facebook Stars are virtual gifts that fans can send you during live streams or on eligible videos. Each star is worth $0.01, and they add up fast if you have an engaged audience.


How to Get More Stars:

 Go live often and interact with your viewers.

 Create engaging videos where fans feel compelled to support you.

 Ask your audience to send Stars (but don’t beg—make it fun!).


2. Fan Subscriptions (Monthly Memberships)


This feature lets your followers pay a monthly fee to access exclusive content. You can offer:

 Behind-the-scenes content

 Exclusive Q&A sessions

 Private Facebook groups


How to Set It Up:

1. Check if your page qualifies in Meta Business Suite > Monetization.

2. Promote your subscription and offer something valuable that makes people want to sign up.


3. Affiliate Marketing (Earn from Product Links)


You don’t need your own products to make money! Promote Amazon products or other affiliate links on Facebook. When someone buys through your link, you earn a commission.


How to Do It Right:

 Post engaging product videos (reviews, unboxings, try-ons).

 Share your Amazon Storefront.

 Use Facebook Reels or groups to reach more people.


4. Selling Products on Facebook Shops


If you have something to sell—physical or digital products—you can set up a Facebook Shop and sell directly from your page.


Great Ideas to Sell:

 Digital products (e-books, templates, presets).

 Merch (branded shirts, mugs, etc.).

 Dropshipping (sell items without keeping inventory).


5. Brand Deals & Sponsored Posts


Companies pay creators to promote their products—even if you’re not part of Facebook’s ad program. Since you already have a strong following, this could be a great income stream!


How to Get Sponsored:

 Reach out to brands directly with your stats & engagement rates.

 Use influencer platforms like AspireIQ, Upfluence, or Brandsnob.

 Create sponsored-style content first to show brands you can promote well.


6. Facebook Reels Play Bonus (When Available)


Facebook sometimes offers Reels Bonuses, paying creators for video views. Even if you’re not currently in the program, keep posting reels—Meta often re-invites creators.


 Post short, engaging videos (7-15 seconds work best).

 Use trending sounds & effects to boost reach.

 Stay consistent—some people get re-accepted after a few months!


Final Thoughts: Monetize Smart!


If Facebook demonetized you or your ad revenue is low, don’t panic—there are still plenty of ways to earn. The key is diversifying your income, so you’re not relying on just one method.
