How to Make Money With Facebook Reels

In our digital world, social media is a space that continues to thrive and grow. As of June 2018, Facebook has an active user base of over 2 billion people. And similar to the way businesses began exploring blog platforms to reach potential customers, savvy marketers have caught on to the potential for creating short video clips as a means of engaging followers.

With Facebook Reels, you can create videos and share them with your friends on Facebook. If you have an idea for a video or would like to try your hand at being creative with video, this can be a great opportunity for you to make money by using your talents and creating videos — all while sharing them with friends!

Read on for more details about how you can monetize your creativity through Facebook Reels.

What Is a Facebook Reel?

A Facebook Reel is a short, 10-second video that you can use to promote a product or service, or to spark conversation among your friends. You can share your Reel with your friends on Facebook.

Your friends can click "Like" to watch the full video or click "View" to see the full video and click "Dislike" to close the video. You can create a Reel in three steps:

• 1) Upload your video
• 2) Create an ad that links to your video, and
• 3) Target your ads to the right audience so that your ad reaches the right people.

How to Make Money With Facebook Reels

First, you will need to create a Reel that you can share on your personal Facebook page. Once you have created your Reel, you can choose to share it with your friends on Facebook, or you can create an ad to share with a wider audience.

Facebook Ads allow you to target a very specific audience, so you can make sure that your video will be viewed by the people most likely to click and take action. With Facebook Ads, you can place your video in front of more people by paying for ad impressions, just like you would with advertising on TV or in print.

Facebook has a competitive auction system, so you may have to bid higher to get your ad in front of the audiences that you want. However, you can use the targeting options to make sure your ad is shown only to the people most likely to click and engage with your ad.

Step 1: Create your ad

First, you will create an ad to promote your Reel. When creating your ad, you need to keep in mind what your objective is for creating the video and how it will be used. Some Facebook video ad examples include: Promoting a product or service: Try creating an ad that highlights the benefits of your product or service, and also includes a call to action to click "Learn more" or "Buy now."

• Driving traffic to an event: Create an ad that includes details about the event, when and where it is happening and why people should go.
• Driving website traffic: Create a video that offers helpful information or promotes a blog post that you want people to read.

Step 2: Target your audience According to your objective, choose the right targeting options and create a budget for your ad. Different targeting options will allow you to show your ad to people based on their location, demographics and more.

Step 3: Promote your ad to make money Once your ad starts running, promote it on your personal page to get friends to click "View" and watch your Reel. Once they watch the Reel, you can ask them to take action, like "buy now" or "learn more." You can also promote your ad to other people by using the "Boost" option.

This allows you to choose which Reels you want to promote and to whom. Facebook Ads are a great way to promote your products or services, and they can be extremely effective when done right.

With Facebook Ads, you can reach a large audience at a low cost per impression. What's more, Facebook video ads are proven to drive 2X as much engagement as static ads. So, if you're looking for a creative way to make money, Facebook Reels are just the thing!
