Facebook monetization for media companies and agencies
Pages, video libraries and teams: where I work alongside media companies and agencies. A network of 300+ pages in 25 languages with an audience of over 25 million.
Media companies and agencies bring me in as a Facebook monetization consultant — one who runs a network of the same kind himself. I run a network of 300+ Facebook pages in 25 languages with an audience of over 25 million people, and have done since 2016. Every change to Meta’s rules hits my own pages first, so I see what it does before it reaches anyone else.
Media companies and agencies usually find me in one of four situations. Find yours.
The pages are there, but monetization keeps failing
The content is good, the rights are in order — and still the page gets flagged, payouts get held, RPM drops, and nobody on the team can explain why.
It is usually one of three things: a flag on how the page behaves rather than on what it publishes; an originality rule that fired on licensed material; or a payout hold that arrives with no reason and no date.
I work out what exactly happened and why, and give you a plan in order of priority. If it keeps happening, I stay close and check content before it goes out, before it costs a page its monetization.
You have a video library, but no team for Facebook
Archive, series, formats — plenty of material, and nobody to publish it on Facebook and keep the pages in working order.
Your content goes out across my network’s pages in 25 languages. Your rights stay yours, and we share the revenue. Terms depend on the size and type of the library.
You run pages for clients — and need someone who has seen this across hundreds
You are an agency or a vendor running monetized pages for broadcasters, studios and publishers. Your team is strong, but a few dozen pages do not show what three hundred do.
We work side by side: your team runs the clients, I bring what only shows at scale — how the restriction system is behaving right now, where the rate dropped and why, what to check before publishing. Usually a few hours a month, to bring any case to.
You are thinking about bringing content to Facebook
The material is there; the decision is not. Is it worth it, what will earn, and how much.
We start with a review: which content will pass the originality rules, which countries the audience will land in, and what the rate is there. The gap between the best- and worst-paying language in the same programme is 53× in my own measurements, and that choice matters more than format.
Why this is hard right now
Licensed content is not protected by default. In March 2026 Meta tightened its definition of unoriginal content. The guidelines count as original what you “have the rights to publish for the first time” — episodes, clips and trailers posted by the producer or network. The key words are for the first time: if the same video already exists on Facebook, the automated classifier sees a duplicate, and publishers who own every frame still lose monetization. What Rights Manager can and cannot do about it is a separate breakdown. It can be undone — in September 2026 two pages in my network that had lost monetization for unoriginal content got it back. How the rules work is in the originality breakdown.
The flag is more often about behaviour than content. Around nine in ten restrictions on my network are Inauthentic Engagement: a flag on how pages are run.
Access is changing. From 14 October 2026 Meta moves everyone who works on your pages into your business portfolio, and portfolio permissions override page permissions.
Why me
I am not an agency reselling someone else’s expertise. I run the pages myself, and every conclusion on this site is checked against a network I operate: my own figures, my own restrictions, my own payouts. The best way to tell whether we are a fit is to read the guides.
If you have a page or two and not enough content for them, that is a different job — Posteriks is built for it.
Where we start
A short conversation: what pages or library you have, and what is going wrong. Then I propose a format and terms that fit your scale.
