45 min - 706: $1,000 a Day Posting on Facebook
Let me tell you about the side hustle I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it myself.
Jeff Rose from Good Financial Sense is earning over $1,000 per day by posting content on Facebook. And a lot of it is just screenshots of other people's tweets.
He cracked the code of Facebook's content monetization program, where the platform pays creators to keep users engaged.
The more time you spend scrolling, the more advertising dollars Facebook makes — and they're sharing that revenue with content creators like Jeff.
In this episode, Jeff pulls back the curtain on exactly how he built this income stream in less than a year, working just a few hours per week.
Tune in to Episode 706 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- How Jeff accidentally stumbled upon this opportunity and made $137 from his first viral post
- Setting up Facebook monetization and getting invited to the program
- Where to find content ideas and what performs best
- The tools Jeff uses to schedule a week's worth of posts in just a few hours
