A few months ago, Facebook had given a statement that it was exploring its professional mode to all the creators worldwide for many monetization facilities and other tools.

Now that the tool has been launched officially, creators can get more opportunities on the platform.

“Through the professional tool, one can build their profile in the platform and earn money from different monetization programs, and keep increasing your audience in a professional way,” the company said in a statement.

Previously, monetization was once available only to Facebook Pages, but the company sees it thriving among content creators on the platform.

Now, even you and your friends can monetize content in the feed.

Once you turn the feature on, every audience can see your posts, but still, you have full control of this setting. Users can however limit the setting to be viewable by their friends only.

Over the course of time, you can view the engagements in your feed, including the comments, reactions, shares, and replies.

Creators will use analytics and professional tools to increase their brand productivity.

If you are an eligible creator, you could be making some serious cash just by posting videos on Reels.

You can gain access to a whole host of features that will help you better understand your audience, produce more engaging content, and, most importantly, monetize your profile.
