Introduction
Facebook doesn’t hand out money just like that. They’ve got rules, eligibility checks, and you’ll also need some consistency. Many newbies get super hyped, post copied videos, and then end up disappointed when Facebook shows that scary line: “Your page isn’t eligible.”
That’s why I’ve written this guide. Step by step, I’ll explain everything about Facebook monetization in Pakistan — what the requirements are, how to apply, common mistakes to avoid, and most importantly, how much money you can actually make per 1,000 views. Imagine we’re just sitting at a dhaba, talking over a cup of chai — that’s the vibe.
What Is Facebook Monetization?
Think of Facebook as a giant TV channel. You create the content — short reels, longer videos, or live sessions — and Facebook places ads on them. When people watch those ads, you get a share of the ad revenue.
In other words: more views = more ad money.
The catch? Your content has to be original and engaging. And right now, Facebook is heavily pushing Reels, so if you’re new, that’s your golden ticket.
Facebook Profile Monetization Requirements
Here’s the checklist that decides whether you can earn or not.
-
A Facebook Page is required – You can’t monetize from a personal profile.
-
10,000 followers minimum – Sounds big, but reels can help you reach this fast.
-
600,000 watch minutes in 60 days – Includes reels, videos, and lives.
-
At least 5 original uploads – Copy-paste won’t cut it.
-
No policy violations – Facebook is strict about this.
-
Must be 18 years old or more.
-
Eligible country – And yes, Pakistan is officially eligible in 2025 🎉.
👉 Common beginner blunder: re-uploading TikToks with the watermark still on. Facebook detects that instantly and rejects the page.
How to Monetize a Facebook Page in Pakistan
Let’s break the process into easy steps:
Step 1: Go to Creator Studio or Meta Business Suite — this is where you’ll manage everything.
Step 2: Click the Monetization tab — here you’ll see if your page is eligible, not eligible, or “almost there.”

Step 4: Add your payment details — Pakistani bank accounts now work fine.
Step 5: Stay consistent — even after approval, breaking rules or going inactive can get you demonetized.
Different Monetization Tools
Facebook doesn’t give you just one earning option. You can use:
-
In-stream Ads → ads on videos over 1 minute.
-
Reels Bonus Program → Facebook pays you for viral reels (beta in Pakistan).
-
Stars → Viewers send stars during reels or live videos (similar to YouTube Super Chat).
-
Fan Subscriptions → Loyal fans can subscribe monthly.
👉 For most beginners in Pakistan, Reels are the fastest route to monetization.

The list changes sometimes, but right now:

❌ Not Eligible
“A friend living in Faisalabad once set up a meme page, mainly for the fun of it.” At first, he was only reposting memes from Instagram, and Facebook wouldn’t approve him at all. Later, when he shifted to making his own short Urdu comedy skits, things changed — within three months his page finally got approved. The takeaway? Nothing beats original content.”
How Much Does Facebook Pay for 1,000 Views?
If we’re real, this is the question on everyone’s mind.. And here’s the honest breakdown:
-
Pakistan audience: around $1–$2 per 1,000 views
-
USA audience: $3,000–$5,000 per 1M views
So, if a video of yours hits 1 million views in Pakistan, you might earn between $1,000–$2,000. If those views are from the USA? That’s $3,000–$5,000.
💡 Pro tip: Create bilingual content (Urdu + English). This way you connect locally and also attract international audiences.
Mistakes New Creators Should Avoid
Here are the common errors I see again and again:
-
Reposting content from TikTok or YouTube.
-
Ignoring Facebook’s policies.
-
Using fake likes/followers (Facebook spots it easily).
-
Misleading clickbait titles.
-
Quitting too soon.
Remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same is true for your Facebook income.
