Let me be very honest with you—if your dream is to start earning from your Facebook page, you need to understand what kills monetization opportunities before you even get there. And two of the biggest mistakes I keep seeing people make are:
1. Posting TikTok videos directly on Facebook.
2. Uploading videos with copyrighted music (including gospel songs, love songs, or trending hits).
Let’s talk about music first.
I know sometimes you wake up in the morning full of motivation, maybe feeling spiritual, and you just want to share a song that touched your heart. It feels like you’re spreading positivity—and that’s a beautiful thing. But here’s the problem: those songs are copyrighted. Facebook’s system is very strict with music rights, and every time you upload content with music you don’t own, you’re risking a copyright strike. Too many strikes, and your monetization will be cut off completely—no warnings, no mercy.
Now, about TikTok content.
Many creators download videos from TikTok and repost them here on Facebook thinking it’s harmless. But what you might not know is that Facebook views TikTok as direct competition. Their algorithm doesn’t promote TikTok-branded content—it actually suppresses it. Worse, if you build your page by constantly reposting TikTok content, Facebook can hit you with a distribution penalty or even a strike. That means less reach, less engagement, and zero chance of monetization.
So what’s the solution?
Stick to original content. That doesn’t mean you have to reinvent the wheel or own a fancy studio. Original means it’s your voice, your ideas, your spin on things. You can talk directly to your audience, share your thoughts, create simple skits, tutorials, or even short advice clips. It’s not about perfection—it’s about authenticity and ownership.
Remember, Facebook rewards originality. The more you create your own stuff, the more the algorithm favors you, the more trust you build with your followers, and the closer you get to real earnings.
If you truly want to protect your page and see long-term results, stop posting TikTok videos or copyrighted music. They might get you quick likes in the moment, but they’ll destroy your chances of ever monetizing.
Think of your page like a business: would you risk your shop license just to play one song you don’t own the rights to? Of course not. Treat your content the same way.
