WILL FACEBOOK PAY YOU FOR SWITCHING TO PROFESSIONAL MODE?

Facebook PROFESSIONAL MODE won’t make you a millionaire. In fact, Facebook won’t pay you a dime because you switched to PROFESSIONAL MODE.

The mode is for Professionals like Graphics Designers, Web Designer, Engineers, Content Creators, etc that wish to gain more visibility through ads but wish to keep their main account; a thing you can do with a FACEBOOK PAGE.

Truth be told, you may end up spending more money on Facebook than earning a dime if you are in Nigeria. You may spend a lot on ads boosting your profile to drive engagement and gain leads or followers.

There are few to no difference between PROFESSIONAL MODE and PAGES. The new Facebook Page Experience share the same features with Professional Mode. It’s safe to say that where PROFESSIONAL MODE is to Creators and Pros, a PAGE is to Businesses.

Know that Facebook pays owners of any of the above account types for putting up content but only from SELECT COUNTRIES. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not among the listed countries; South Africa is, of course.

To rephrase the above “if you are from some few countries, Facebook will pay you a certain amount for your content if you have a professional account or page”. Please know that there are requirements you need to meet to be qualified.

If you meet those requirements, your followers can also send you STARS which you can convert to CASH.

Finally, all the FOLLOW I FOLLOW posts circulating here claiming that if you switch to PROFESSIONAL MODE & have 5k followers, you will get paid is nothing more than misleading. Please, disregard.

If you check closely, you will find out that due to our selfish nature, you’ll follow someone but the person won’t follow back.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below. I’ll be happy to answer you.

Thanks and Stay Motivated 💪🏾

WHAT IS A FACEBOOK PAGE AND WHY YOU NEED ONE.

There are 3 types of Facebook account. If you don’t know this, read to the end. I hope I may be able to educate you on it.

The 3 Facebook accounts are as follows:

1. PERSONAL account
2. PROFESSIONAL account
3. PAGE

I won’t go deep into details with the first 2 types of accounts in this post. I’ll make a separate post for them.

A personal account is the main account you need to access all META services including FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, MESSENGER, BUSINESS SUITE, etc. On Facebook, it is the account that all Facebookers need to send and receive friend requests and also message each other. You’ll also need it to open a page or switch to a PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNT. You switched to a PROFESSIONAL account by activating PROFESSIONAL MODE.

A PAGE is simply a Facebook account that you open for your business, organization, brand or even personality. It can be used to manage anything that you manage that isn’t personally connected to you, for example, your business or an organization.

It has capabilities that personal accounts don’t have like the ability to get followers who aren’t necessarily your friends but love to see your content. It also allows you to run ads and create a catalogue of your products or services.

You get access to an insight on how your page is doing through an analytics tool that shows you how many people viewed your posts and how many took actions on them. It simply offers you everything you need to manage and grow your business or organization on Facebook.

It doesn’t have much difference with PROFESSIONAL account. The main difference between the two is their purpose of use. Where Professional account is meant for Professionals, a Page is meant for Businesses and Organizations. I’ll explain further in a future post about PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNT.

SO, WHY DO YOU NEED A PAGE?

The following are what you should consider before you open a page:

1. You are a business, open a page.
2. You are an organization e.g. religious, political or social organizations, open a page.
3. You are an educational institution, open a page.
4. You are a professional that doesn’t want your friends and family to convert to followers, open a page. On the contrary, switch to Professional account.
5. You want to run ads on Facebook and Instagram, open a page.
6. You want to market a product or service, do it on your page or Professional Account.

These are some of the things you need to consider before opening a page. If you just want to use Facebook to interact with family and friends and meet new people, use your PERSONAL ACCOUNT.

Finally, you don’t have to switch to a Professional account or open a page if you think doing so will give you money. It won’t. It will just leave you with frustration. Heed my words and avoid disappointment.

Thanks for reading 🤗
Stay tuned for my next post on PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNT.
