Ways to Get Paid to Post on Facebook
Before you post something that could take off, you want to be ready.
There is nothing worse than a post going viral and you have nothing set up to earn from it. These simple options will help you turn attention into income the moment people start showing up.
1. Facebook Content Monetization Program
If you get invited, this is the easiest way to get paid for your posts. Facebook rewards you for the engagement you already create. I’m in the Facebook content monetization program and it helps me make extra money on the side.
2. Affiliate Marketing
This is perfect if you already share things you use in everyday life. Drop your links in helpful posts, reviews, or quick stories. When someone signs up or buys through you, you get paid. This is how I frequently earn $100 SoFi referrals.
3. Digital Products
If you teach, explain, or review things often, turn that knowledge into something you can sell. Think ebooks, checklists, templates, guides. One viral post can bring in a wave of new customers. See digital product ideas here.
Get these in place now so that when your next post catches fire, you are not just getting likes. You are getting paid.

Facebook Post Ideas that Increase Visibility
Here are some simple Facebook post ideas that can help you get in front of more people without forcing anything.
Think of these as easy ways to start conversations, show your personality, and make the algorithm work a little more in your favor.
Unpopular but Honest Opinion
Sometimes the posts that travel the farthest are the ones where you share a truth most people think but rarely say out loud. Keep it respectful, keep it human, and speak from real experience. People can feel the difference, and it pulls them in fast.
Why It Works
- Honest opinions spark curiosity and conversation, which tells Facebook your post is worth showing to more people.
Try This
- Share one everyday belief you have that goes against the usual advice in your niche and ask your audience if they agree.

Why It Works

Show Results
People love seeing what actually happens when someone tries something and sticks with it. Share your progress, your wins, and even the small improvements that tell a bigger story. It makes your content feel real and shows your audience what is possible for them too.
Why It Works
- Results build trust fast, and trust is what keeps people coming back to your posts again and again.
Try This
- Post a simple before and after, a quick screenshot, or a short story about a recent win and ask your audience if they want to know how you did it.
Share a Relatable Story
People connect with stories more than anything else you can post. Share a moment from your day, a lesson you learned, or a small struggle you finally figured out. Keep it honest and simple so it feels like a real conversation, not a performance.
Why It Works
- Stories build connection, and connection keeps people reading, commenting, and coming back for more.
Try This
- Tell a short story about something that taught you a lesson and end it with one question that invites others to share their own experiences.

Share a Behind the Scenes Moment

Why It Works
- Behind the scenes posts make your audience feel included, which strengthens connection and encourages more engagement.
Try This
- Snap a quick photo or write a short update about something you are working on today and ask your audience if they want to see the finished version.
