How to get paid for posting to Stories 👀

Oh, Meta, haven’t you learned that the more you try and stop people from talking about something, people will talk about it more? A new memoir about Meta is coming out soon, and Meta is trying hard to stop it from being released … which means everyone will soon be reading it (I know I will be!). 

Sadly, the company is in hot water for other things this week too (like AI and breaching more EU laws—whoops), so not sure if ol’ Zuck is having a great time right now. 

In other social media news, there are new features, new apps, new tools, and so much more. It’s a beefy one this week, so let’s get into it.

Well, it’s finally here. After getting rid of its third-party fact-checking, Meta has rolled out its Community Notes in its apps. 

Community Notes on Meta will work almost exactly like Community Notes on X (which makes sense as it was built on X’s open-source model 🙃). You can submit a Note on a post, where it’ll be rated by other approved Notes contributors. 

And with everything going on politically around the world, according to Meta, a Note won’t be published until:

“[C]ontributors with a range of viewpoints broadly agree on them. No matter how many contributors agree on a note, it won’t be published unless people who normally disagree decide that it provides helpful context.”

Which will be great … if it sticks to that.

Instagram and Facebook users will be able to rate if a note is helpful or not to help Meta make Community Notes better for all.

At the moment, only US users will have access as Meta tests out the new feature before rolling it out everywhere. 

I guess we’ll soon see how effective the new fact-checking system is.

Facebook is now adding a new feature inside its Facebook Content Monetization program: Allowing creators to earn money for views on their Stories.

It seems like Meta is pushing for more and more users to publish on Facebook, and this is another tactic to get more content on the app.

The new monetization option will give creators $$$ for posting on their Stories from content they have already created. 

How will the payouts work? The more views you get, the more money you will earn. Seems simple enough. How much money you can earn is still unclear, but this appears to be another way Meta is trying to get TikTok creators onto its platforms. 

If you’re a creator and looking for a new revenue stream, this could be a good one to try out first.
