Facebook is a powerful platform for creators to monetize their content, even if you’re just starting out. Whether you’re in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world, you can easily monetize your Facebook page or profile by posting videos.
However, one of the biggest challenges creators face is policy violations, which can prevent monetization. If your page has a policy violation, you might be getting engagement—likes, views, and shares—but you won’t get paid. This guide will show you how to resolve these issues and get your page ready for monetization.
Steps to Resolve Facebook Policy Violations:
- Understanding the Impact of Policy Violations:
- If your Facebook page or profile has policy violations, you cannot monetize it. No matter how many views or followers you have, your earnings potential is blocked until the violation is resolved.
- To monetize your Facebook page, you need at least 5,000 followers and 60,000 watch hours. However, with a policy violation, monetization features like instream ads and stars won’t be available.
- Accessing Your Professional Dashboard:
- Navigate to your page’s professional dashboard. This is where you’ll find all the details related to monetization and policy violations.
- Check the “Monetization” section. If your page is already monetized with stars, it means people can give you stars as gifts, which you can convert into money. However, if you want to add instream ads and you’re facing issues due to a policy violation, this guide will help you resolve it.
- Reporting the Problem:
- To address the violation, start by clicking on “Help and Support” in your dashboard.
- From the options, select “Report a Problem.”
- Choose “Don’t Include Data” to protect your information, and then select the relevant page or profile where the violation occurred.
- Before proceeding, ensure that all copyrighted content—such as music or videos downloaded from platforms like TikTok or YouTube—has been removed from your page. Keeping these could lead to further penalties.
- Removing Copyrighted Content:
- Delete any copyrighted content that you did not create. This includes videos or music that were not originally produced by you. If your page grew by sharing viral videos, it’s crucial to remove them if you want to monetize.
- Once all copyrighted material is removed, go back to your professional dashboard and recheck the monetization status.
- Submitting a Report:
- After cleaning up your page, return to the “Report a Problem” section.
- Select your page, and upload a screenshot of the monetization status showing the violation.
- Write a brief message explaining the steps you’ve taken to resolve the violation. Include your page link and name for reference.
- Send the report and wait for a response. Typically, Facebook takes 24 to 48 hours to review and address the issue, depending on the volume of reports they receive.
- Maintaining Compliance:
- Once the violation is resolved and your page is monetized, avoid posting copyrighted content in the future. Repeated violations can lead to permanent demonetization.
- Focus on creating original content. If you must use content created by others, ensure it’s legally permissible and properly credited.

Resolving policy violations on Facebook and getting your page monetized is straightforward if you follow these steps. After resolving the issue, maintain compliance by posting original content to avoid future violations.
