The Best Way To Make Money On Facebook In 2025

People comment on my YouTube channel all the time saying they have over a million followers, but they're barely reaching any of them. And many times, I just want to comment and let them know that I absolutely believe them. Because the truth is, platform monetization is broken. You're not crazy. The rules really have changed. But the good news is, you don't need the algorithm to pick you anymore. You don't need to go viral. You don't need a big personal brand because the best way to make money on Facebook in 2025 isn't based on likes, reach, or even followers. It's based on something much simpler, clicks. And when you understand how to turn a click into cash without relying on platform payouts, you're absolutely free. So, let me show you exactly how to do it. Let's

start with what everyone's still trying to chase. Yes, Facebook has a content monetization program. Yes, it pays for reals, photos, texts, and they're testing stories, but if you haven't been invited already, you might never get in. Running ads won't help. Posting more won't help. There are creators with over 1 million followers, real pages, real traffic who still never been invited. The whole thing is unpredictable. So, if you're depending on platform monetization to grow your business or replace your income, you're playing the wrong game. The problem isn't your content, it's the system. So, let's zoom out for a second. If you've been posting regularly and feel like nobody's seeing your stuff anymore, you're not wrong. It's not just audience fatigue. It's platform decay. Some of your old followers don't use Facebook anymore. Some scroll past your content. Most aren't even being shown your post because Facebook algorithm is built around discovery, not loyalty. And when you post, most of the people who see it aren't your followers. They're strangers. So, while you're out here trying to reactivate old followers, the platform is handing your content to someone brand new, someone who doesn't know you, trust you, or owe you their attention, which is why views mean almost nothing. What matters is action.

Specifically, clicks. Now, clicks are harder. That's why they work. Watching a video is passive. Liking a post is easy. But clicking on a link, that's a decision. And every time someone chooses to click, you've just opened a door. That's why this strategy doesn't just monetize content. It monetizes behavior. Because when you understand how to create value around a product, add a link that makes sense and put it in the right place, you can earn whether Facebook pays you or not. While most platforms have locked down outbound links like YouTube shorts, no external links allow in the description or in the comments. Instagram reels, same thing. You need a subscription to Metaverify to post five links a month. And Tik Tok is even worse. They have all types of feature removals, limited visibility. You can't post links anywhere. And you can get your Tik Tok account taken down if people decide to get together and just mass report it. But Facebook still

wide open. You can still put links just about everywhere. And they're still giving creators native tools to drop product links directly into reals, posts, and all other types of content, captions, and comments, and even feature them as overlays. And that makes Facebook's one of the last major platforms where affiliate traffic is still frictionless. You don't need to hack the algorithm. You just need to share something valuable and link to it. So, here's how you make this work. Even

if you're starting from zero, start by picking a niche. It doesn't need to be passion. It just needs to be clear. Maybe you're into business books. Maybe it's home fitness. Maybe it's kitchen gadgets, tech accessories, parenting tools, or camera gear. Just pick one. then either switch your profile to professional mode or create a fresh Facebook page around that topic. And if you want to see a good video about how to grow your Facebook page in 2025, then make sure you check out this video right here. And I'll also link to it at the end of this video. Now you've got a space where everything you post makes sense to people who find it. And this is important. Most people discovering you on Facebook are new. They've never met you before. So your goal is to create content that delivers value to the strangers scrolling by. Let me give you

a simple real world strategy you can use right now. So, pick a niche. Let's say business books. Start a Facebook page or use your professional mode profile to share short helpful book reviews. Now, you don't even need to read all the books to get started. You can use chat GPT to generate summaries and writeups based on verified outlines, reviews, and core themes. Then go in and edit them. Make sure the summary is accurate and reflects the tone and purpose of the book. Once you've got that, post it to your Facebook page along with a few lines of commentary. This book helped me rethink how I price my offers. If you're a creator or consultant, it's a must readad. Then, and this part is key, you add your affiliate link to the book. One, you can place it in the caption. Two, comment section. And three, there's an actual space provided where you can post it when you're actually uploading your content. And it will hover at the bottom of the post like the tabs on ads on reals. So it's always visible to the people who see your content. That link is your bridge. If someone clicks it and makes a purchase, even a different purchase later that day, you still earn a commission. And when you do this consistently, you create a system that pays you every time your post gets attention. And if you don't want to drive traffic to somebody else's product and you want your own product, that's why I created Offer GPT. If you don't know what to offer, what to build, or how to monetize what you know, this tool will help you generate a custom offer in just a few clicks and a few information about your audience, your niche, your background, and the problem you want to solve. The link is in the description. But even if you don't want to create your own product yet, there's still a way to earn by recommending what other people have already built. And that brings us to Amazon. Now, there are

three Amazon programs that turn clicks into cash. Tier one is Amazon Associates. This is the basic affiliate program and anyone can apply. Once you're in, you can grab links to any product on Amazon. If someone clicks and makes a purchase, you get paid. Even if they come back later and buy something totally different, you still get credit if it's within a 24-hour period. Tier number two is the Amazon influencer program. This one requires a little more for you to get inside of it. But there is a special perk if you do get inside of it. So, apply for the associate program, but you really want to get into this one. So, you'll need to have a public presence on at least one social platform, Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok, or Instagram. Now, once you're approved, you get your own Amazon storefront where you can organize products into lists. So, instead of sending people five different links, you can send them to your storefront. This way, it looks clean, it builds trust, and it converts better. For instance, I could put a link in every YouTube video that goes directly to all of the camera gear, recording gear that I use to create my videos. So, if someone wanted the same thing, they can see what it was. And if they click on that link for my YouTube video, go to Amazon, and let's just say they don't buy the camera gear, but there are other things on Amazon they've been looking at and they go ahead and complete that purchase, then I can earn from that commission. Now, tier three is

only opened up for the people who've already been accepted into tier two, their Amazon influencers, and that is on-site commissions. This is where it really gets serious for some people who are focused. Now, once you're in the influencer program, you can apply to get inside of the Amazon on-site commissions program. Now, in order to get in this program, you have to post three videos, and they have to approve all three videos. And I've watched so many videos on YouTube that have talked about how to get approved because this is the part where so many people get hung up. I think if you don't pass the review three times, you're automatically banned from ever participating in the program. So getting those first three videos is very critical. So I'm going to save you time from going and watching all those other videos. And I'm going to very briefly and clearly explain to you how to record your first three videos so that you get approved the first time around. And for the purposes of this video, let's just assume that I was doing a video for a piece of bread. This is what I would say. This is a piece of bread. It's brown around the outside. It's white in the middle and it's soft to the touch. And I would end the video. Like seriously, if you go into any details about how much the bread costs or if you make a mistake and you say, "Hey, my wife bought this bread or my husband bought this bread. " Then the video will get flagged and that will be a strike against you. So, your videos need to be very basic. They need to just speak to the facts of the product. Just describe the product and once you get approved, then you have a little bit more leeway with what you can say as far as marketing the different products. Now, if Amazon approves your video and places it on a product page and someone watches part of your video before buying, you earn a commission right there inside Amazon. And here's the kicker. You don't even need to buy the product from Amazon. You can grab it from Walmart or anywhere else. Take some photos, record your videos, and return it. And as long as it's the product Amazon sells, you're in. Now, your Facebook content is doing

two jobs. Not only are you earning from the content monetization program, but it's earning affiliate commissions from traffic. And if you want to understand why reach is dropping for even the biggest creators and what to do about it, watch my next video, How to Grow a Facebook Page in 2025, where I talk about that problem. and I'm going to show you exactly how your audience has changed and how to take back your attention while also growing your Facebook page.
