Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has unveiled additional bonuses for creators as part of its "Performance bonus programme," aimed at rewarding creators who generate high engagement with their content on the platform. The company has also made adjustments to the monetization eligibility requirements for Stars, allowing more beginner creators to earn money with the support of their fans.
In a recent blog post, Meta announced that creators now need a minimum of 500 followers over the past 30 days, down from the previous requirement of 1,000 followers over 60 days. This change opens up monetization opportunities to a wider range of creators who are just starting out.
Additionally, Meta is currently testing the option to cross-post Instagram-branded content reels and stories to Facebook. This feature aims to enhance campaign reach and effectiveness, enabling creators to connect with their audience across both platforms seamlessly.
Meta has also reduced the eligibility requirements for partnership ads on Facebook Pages. This adjustment allows creators to grant permission to their brand partners to run ads from their Facebook Page. By expanding this feature, Meta aims to foster collaboration between creators and brands, further monetizing their content and partnerships.
