Want to earn money directly from your personal Facebook profile? Facebook’s Professional Mode gives you access to creator tools, advanced insights, and monetization features, similar to a Facebook Page. Here’s a quick guide to get you started.
What is Professional Mode?
Professional Mode is a setting for your Facebook profile that allows you to build a public following and earn money from your content without creating a separate Page. When you turn it on, anyone can follow you, and you’ll get access to tools to help you grow your audience.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Turning On Professional Mode:
Enabling this feature is simple and only takes a few seconds.
* Go to Your Profile: Open the Facebook app and navigate to your main profile page.
* Open Profile Settings: Tap on the three-dots menu icon (…) located below your profile header, next to “Edit Profile.”
* Activate Professional Mode: In the menu, find and select “Turn on professional mode.”
* Follow the Prompts: Facebook will show you a brief overview of the feature. Tap “Turn on” to confirm and complete the setup.
What Changes After You Switch?
* Public Audience: Your profile category will be set to “Digital Creator,” and all your public content will be visible to anyone.
* Followers, Not Friends: Your “Friends” will become “Followers.” You will still have friends, but your primary metric will be your follower count.
* Professional Dashboard: You will unlock a dashboard to track your profile’s performance, see audience insights, and access monetization tools.
Unlocking Monetization Features
Once Professional Mode is active, you can become eligible for monetization programs like:
* Stars: Allow your followers to send you “Stars” (a virtual currency) on your content.
* Ads on Reels: Earn a share of the revenue from ads shown on your eligible Reels.
* In-Stream Ads: Place ads in your longer videos to earn money (eligibility requirements apply).
