Social media company, Meta, has announced that content creators from Nigeria and Ghana can now earn money on Facebook starting from Monday, July 1, 2024, as it rolled out two monetization features.

According to a statement from the company, the two features; In-Stream Ads on Facebook and Facebook Ads on Reels, will enable creators to earn money for crafting original videos and cultivating community.

“Available from today, eligible Creators in Nigeria and Ghana will be able to earn money for their video and reels content, with support in over 30 languages globally,” the company said in a statement released on Monday.


Eligibility criteria
Meta noted that to use either product, creators must pass and remain compliant with Facebook’s Partner Monetisation Policies and Content Monetisation Policies, and they must be at least 18 years old.

Additionally, for in-stream ads, Meta said creators must meet certain eligibility requirements such as having a minimum of 5,000 followers.

According to Meta, In-stream Ads can play before, during, or after on-demand videos, whether it’s pre-recorded content or when publishing a recording of a previous live stream.

“Types of In-stream Ads include Pre-roll Ads (which play before a video starts,), Mid-roll Ads (which play during videos), Image Ads (static image ads that display beneath the content) and Post-roll Ads (ads which appear at the end of videos),” the company explained.

It added that Ads on Facebook Reels integrate seamlessly into original Reels, enabling creators to get paid based on the performance of their original reels while entertaining fans.

What Meta is saying
Commenting on the rollout, Global Partnerships Lead, Africa, Middle East and Turkey (AMET) at Meta, Moon Baz, said:

“Everyday, we’re inspired by the incredible African creators who use Facebook to tell their stories, connect with others and bring people together.

“This expansion will empower eligible creators in the vibrant creative industry across Nigeria and Ghana to earn money, whilst setting the bar high for creativity across the world and making Meta’s family of apps the one-stop-shop for all creators.”

The backstory
Earlier in March, Meta’s President of Global Affairs, Sir Nick Clegg, led a delegation of Meta Platforms Incorporated to visit President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

A statement issued thereafter by the spokesman to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, said Clegg promised that Meta would introduce in June 2024 a feature on its Facebook and Instagram apps that would allow Nigerian creators to monetize their content to enable them to earn a living using the app.
Quoting Clegg, Ajuri said the Meta chief thanked Tinubu for an executive order he issued which enabled the landing of the Meta-backed deep-sea cable in Nigeria.
At the meeting, President Tinubu was said to have urged Meta to invest more in Nigeria, especially young people.

Nigeria and Ghana Eligible for Facebook Monetization: 8 Key Compliance Tips to Remember:
1. Content Creation
- Ensure all content is original and not copied from other sources. Maintain high-quality production standards to meet Facebook's criteria for monetization.
2. Compliance with Community Standards
- Avoid posting hate speech, nudity, sexual activity, harassment, or violence. Engage with your audience respectfully, avoiding quarrels and abusive language in responses to comments.
3. Sensitive Topics
- Limit posts on politics, religion, and other sensitive topics to avoid polarizing content that may violate Facebook’s standards. Use disclaimers for potentially sensitive content to clarify that you do not support violence or illegal activities.
4. Consistent and Regular Posting
- Post content regularly to keep your audience engaged and meet Facebook’s activity requirements. Create engaging content that encourages interaction from your audience.
5. Copyright Compliance
- Avoid using copyrighted music or media without proper licensing. Utilize Facebook’s library of copyright-free music. If you use copyrighted material with permission, include appropriate disclaimers and acknowledgments.
6. Prohibited Content
- Do not post content involving nudity, sexual activities, or explicit material. Avoid posting identifiable pictures of children without proper consent and do not include content that may exploit or harm children. Avoid posting content depicting guns, violence, or abuse, and ensure educational content is clearly labeled with appropriate disclaimers.
7. Community Building
- Foster a positive and supportive community by encouraging respectful discussions and managing negative interactions diplomatically. Engage your followers to encourage sharing and interaction, helping to grow your audience organically.
8. Monitor and Adapt
- Stay informed about Facebook’s policy updates and adapt your content strategies accordingly. Use Facebook’s tools to monitor your content’s performance and make necessary adjustments to remain compliant.
