Reels don't make money (here's what to do instead..)

[@beadedbracelet]

The conclusion : don t waste your time on FB and Instagram while they are thinking how to monetize your reels because you maybe have to wait 2-5 years, who knows??????????????

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Thanks for summarizing the updates and giving us strategies for the next phase

[@LesterDiaz]

Thats what I do 😉

[@studioshulman]

Thank you! How come one reel of mine with 250k made 40$ a month and other reel with 370k earned only 0.16$?

I've been denied 3 times for in stream ads and I don't understand why. I don't have any violations and meet all the requirements😩

Hi Lester, thanks for sharing this. I have a question please, I opened a new Facebook profile last month on the 9th, but I still can't see professional mode on my profile. Is this normal?

[@gamemovies1]

Answer me please.I created a page on Facebook for content two weeks ago I collected 5500 subscribers but I had foul language in one video, for me they put restrictions on monetization, because I violated the rules of community norms, after that I deleted the video and wanted to ask for a second check on the page, but I can not do it, when do you think they will check again? how long should it take for them to check my page again ?

[@LesterDiaz]

It’s usually temporary, I don’t know how long but most go away within 7-30 days depending on the violation

[@gamemovies1]

@@LesterDiaz ok.thanks

[@laisansen3543]

please my Facebook page is having a 30days restriction because of copyright infringement. And when i look at my criteria to qualify for monetization for in-stream ads it's doesn't show a blue tick at the level of "following Facebook monetization policy" but the rest shows blue tick. Please would it be possible for me to apply after the 30days restriction and is it because of that restriction that it doesn't show a blue tick?

[@historytobiginning]

Hello Lester! I'm applying for instream ads monetization and I've been waiting for a response for a month but Facebook is still reviewing my account. Do you think this is normal please?

[@LesterDiaz]

It was not normal before, but now they’re taking way longer to approve pages. Be patient and keep posting.

[@historytobiginning]

@@LesterDiaz thank you so much for the answer. I do that

Are reels payments available worldwide or only for selected country's?

Can we use quotes on reels and not get any monetizing issues?

[@revival-fueltv1942]

Hello Lester, my videos are monetized for instream ads but the approximate earnings are not updating.

[@luckyloucocotoo]

Thanks Lester!

[@clesiorenan627]

Hey Lester! I am from Brazil. Can licensed content be monetized on Facebook?

[@LesterDiaz]

It depends by what you mean by licensed content. Watch my previous video before this one, I covered that topic

[@anisahmed6443]

Sir on my Instagram page says (the ads on reels monetization test is ending on 06/13/2024) what does it mean? Does it mean the program will end for me?

[@bhaikamal9215]

Hi, thank you for video. I have a question: Is it possible to have two payment accounts on one page? For example, I have star and in-stream ads enabled on my Facebook page, and I am receiving star income to one payout account. The income from the in-stream ads is going to another payout account, but the Facebook page is the same. Last year, I changed the payout account of my page and I requested to change star earnings only, so I guess that my in-stream ads are still stuck on the old payout account. is it posbbile to have multiple payout account on one facebook page ? You can check the details in the screenshot. is this data is correct or not ?thank you very much

[@LesterDiaz]

Each individual tool allows you to setup multiple payout profiles so yes technically you can

[@bhaikamal9215]

@@LesterDiaz I mistakenly lost access to the old payout account associated with my page for Ad Breaks. We only have access to the related email ID and payout account ID. Is it possible to regain access and fix this issue?

[@soflotoycollector]

Hey Lester, do you think at some point reels will overtake long format videos with making money through ad revenue in the years to come, or do you think long format will always beat reels?

[@LesterDiaz]

It’s possible only if they figure out a way to really incentive advertisers to spend money on short videos. Advertisers need to see a good ROI from ads and right now, long-form is the best option.

[@retrodripsupport7510]

bounce rates on reels posts versus long form is high. But if they can sell more and more cheap inventory in the years to come that could make it more lucrative by volume.

[@mateusdovale5863]

Where can I find that document?

[@SaharaObritsch]

First ..watching now

[@retrodripsupport7510]

just your gut feeling, do you believe stories will be a good monetization tool from the creator side?

[@LesterDiaz]

Nah, long-form hands down. Nothing beats it.

[@retrodripsupport7510]

@@LesterDiaz I agree with that, my expectations would be that stories may be a good supplemental income source. I don't expect it to beat In-Stream Ads. I have several pages with high engagement so it would be nice to unlock on top of the rest.

How do I transition 26k Followers from my Profile to a Facebook Page?

[@LesterDiaz]

You can’t anymore. You can convert your profile to professional mode but mergin profiles and pages that’s not a thing anymore.

[@successlikerick]

@@LesterDiaz I'm already in professional mode and was monitized with my profile I gained 26k followers, but facebook demonitized my reels, so I'm not trying to merge the profile with a FB page, I just want to invite or somehow get my followers off my profile page to my FB page that has the same content, do I just invite them to follow my page, is that all I can do?

Can we copy paste reels and monetize tbem 😂

12k follow on a new page 10 reels (no original content) with a Text on the watermark

[@AussieSharkGuy]

What are you asking, or wanting to know? So you’ve posted 10 reels, but you don’t own any of the content? With a text on the watermark??? So you’ve stolen someone else’s content, and attempted to hide that fact that it’s not yours, by covering the water marks over with text??? And are you asking if that’s cool? As in, will you be accepted for monetisation??? Lol seriously?

[@forestsound2486]

@@AussieSharkGuy yes 👀

[@AussieSharkGuy]

@@forestsound2486 being totally dude. You’ve got “ZERO” hope in being able to have content that’s not your own, monetised. You can also literally be destroyed by MASSIVE fines, for copyright violations. From the first reel you shared, Facebook would’ve already red flagged you, without you even knowing. Even if you were somehow able to push that content (that’s not even yours) far and wide, you’d still be 100% wasting your own time. Why still someone else’s content when you’ve got a brain and you can create your own. Are you passionate and enthusiastic about stealing someone else’s content and trying to cover it up and hide it, knowing it could (and definitely WILL FAIL) at any given moment. Why put countless hours into something that’s going to backfire on you. You’re simply pushing sh#t uphill. And regardless of what anyone says. You can’t polish a turd.
