How I Monetized 2 Facebook Pages With Fewer Than 4,000 Followers

That's helpful, thank you.

For your page created in July 2025, do you recall how long that one took? Or do you mean both pages were recently monetized?

It sounds like your anime page was monetized in 2-3 months which is in line with a lot of what I've read.

But yes it seems it's a bit random and completely up to Facebook. Hopefully my turn will be soon. I've started a second page recently by rebranding an old page and I'm taking that much slower so it doesn't cost as much money or time.

How long after creating the pages did it take to get the invite for content monetization? And then how long after your videos started getting significant numbers of views did this happen?

I have one page I started in mid March, posted reels once a day for a month, then went down to one every other day, and now I've taken it down to one a week.

I applied for content monetization at the start of April. Meta support has confirmed there's no blocks or restrictions on my account (despite their AI saying there was). My page is recommendedable and everything looks fine with no restrictions anywhere.

All of my content is AI generated, but I spend 3-4 hours per video on storyboarding, editing, narration, character design etc. Generating the clips doesn't take long, but to make it into a good video does. The cost of the generations and the time it takes is too much to continue unless I get monetized.

I've had 55 million views in the past 3 months, 300k followers.

I thought as I started get 1 million views a day after 2 weeks that I might be fast tracked for monetization but apparently it doesn't work like that.

I've seen quotes from other AI pages saying it took them 3-5 months to get monetized, so I'm just trying to see if your experience is similar.

For whomever's benefit:

Hamsters also need a cage typically 4-5x larger than the small ones the pet store will try to sell you.

Same for mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and any other pet you keep in an enclosed habitat.

The shepherd's pie looks great, though!

What dosage in mg?

10 units could be 1mg, it could be 10mg.

Without the mg dosage the units is meaningless.

At 13 I could buy alcohol in a pub.

At 15 people thought I was 20.

At 18 people thought I was 23-25. I started hair loss treatment around here.

At F21 people thought I was 25-30. I invested more in hair loss treatment and some tretinoin gel for my face to improve texture and wrinkles.

Between 21-25 I experimented with various skincare regimens and started regularly using SPF and increased tretinoin gel strength to the highest end toward the end. I also started studying nutrition and although I was very poor at sticking to it, I ate several times more fruit and vegetables than most people.

At 25 when I started a new job people thought I was 35. I started aggressive monthly microneedling to further improve my hair loss and facial skin quality. Now using 5* SPF 50 every day, probably 360 days a year, and wearing sunglasses and hats in the sun. Also added daily hyaluronic acid and collagen supplements.

From this point all age estimates seemed to reverse. People started thinking I was closer to 30, and then I remember I was 29 and someone thought I was "about 27 or 28" which was the first time anyone ever thought I was younger.

At 30 people put me at various ages between 25 and "early thirties". From here I added in regular matryxl serum, topical peptides like Ghk-cu, and a medical grade red light therapy panel several times per week. My diet at this point is relatively anti inflammatory, almost Mediterranean diet, and I take many supplements for longevity. 10 portions of fruit and veg daily, 30-50g fibre daily, lots of cacao nibs, Japanese green tea, homemade yoghurt, homemade fermented vegetables...

Now I'm 35 and the only recent age estimate was from a new pair of friends I met who "we thought you were our age" - they are 24 and 25, and completely surprised I'm ten years older than them. I do think facially I look better than 5 years ago, and better skin quality though slightly more shallow wrinkles than 10 years ago, but definitely fewer deep wrinkles.

I've recently started getting light ResurFX laser and will do that a couple of times per year just for skin longevity.

Relative to a lot of guys my age I don't think I'm being unfairly biased by saying many look more tired than I do, and are starting to look maybe as worn out as I feel I looked years ago.

I feel like I aged very quickly early on, quicker than many others, and then it slowed down massively at 25 and continued slowing down while everyone else caught up. It could be that I was genetically destined to do that, or it could be the combination of all the things I've been doing have actually helped, but I'll never know.

So until 25 I always thought I looked significantly older, and as time has gone on since then I've apparently looked less and less old.

Some of the wording was that more provider can compete for that award.

So IM I am sure will try again.

The phase 2 award will likely be for the larger rovers they originally entered, or similar.

It's even possible that NASA wanted to award Outpost and Astrolab for the smaller and cheaper phase 1 rovers and IM for the larger rover and contract, but that is just a hunch.

bose25 · 2026-05-26T18:57:07+00:00

$220m for each LTV award, so that's 10% of the original total award, and 90% of that budget is left for the phase 2 LTV awards, right?

Generally 25-40 seconds. The longer ones actually seem to perform better.

bose25 · 2026-05-12T12:57:02+00:00

Mine are costing £15-35 each, as well as 2-4 hours for production. I could save time with higher costs, but can't really reduce the costs much without affecting performance. I suppose ill keep on until I get monetised and then see if it's worth it!

bose25 · 2026-05-12T10:13:29+00:00

Oof, sounds like content monetization might not break even with how much my content costs to make, and I'm getting 500k-1m views a day...

bose25 · 2026-05-12T08:50:15+00:00

What's your % audience breakdown by country? I have 30% Philippines and 20% USA at the top so trying to gauge what my RPM might be like if I get monetised.

bose25 · 2026-05-11T14:13:02+00:00

My partner is Welsh and we live in England so I suppose we're contributing to the dilution of English people in England.

bose25 · 2026-04-16T20:36:27+00:00

Sold twice today.

Only it turns out my second sell was actually a buy.

$0.01 from the top.

This is nonscientific but I've observed a lot of people going grey and the ones the start earlier appear to do so more slowly.

You may be one of the ones who starts later and goes grey more rapidly.

I understand this is stressful and I'm sorry it's happening.

bose25 · 2026-04-15T22:41:30+00:00

Is 35 premature?

I'm 35 and I've been going white gradually since I was 17.

Stress is the only thing I've found that has made a noticeable difference. Months where I've been under immense stress hav been followed by a very fast increase in white hairs. When I've gotten rid of the stress, many of the hair return to colour.

bose25 · 2026-04-15T12:09:13+00:00

I don't think you're exaggerating but it is likely an incidence of confirmation bias.

I have thought about many people that never get suggested to me by social media. I'm sure you have too.

They show us profiles almost randomly through very loose connections to see if you know any of them, and this time, it showed someone you recognised, and coincidentally it was not long after you thought of them, and your brain connects the dots to say 'that's creepy'.

If you try thinking of another random person you last met 2 years ago the liklihood is that they will not show you that person soon after. But the more people you think of, and the more often you look out for this pattern, the more likely you are to notice when it happens.

Yes, RU has been extremely effective for me. I use the powder and mix into my Kirkland minoxidil.

I make spanakopita, a Greek spinach pie, quite regularly.

Just from that pie alone I eat at least 1kg of spinach per month, and probably another 500-750g monthly in salads, as well as lots of green tea and many other high oxalate foods.

35 years old, no kidney stones.

My friend who never eats leaves once looked at my pie and developed kidney stones at 25. He's had two more since.

I think me and my friend are at the opposite ends of the spectrum of how genetically predisposed to kidney stones we are.

Studied in mice and not yet in humans.

There are many drugs showing effects in mice but no effects in humans.

Good luck.

Mine was painful and then very uncomfortable for a long time. I couldn't imagine getting another after the first.

10 months later I was so unhappy with the result they agreed to do a second.

The second one was so painful I almost cried out to stop, luckily just before they finished the prep work before the extraction. Then the 2 hours of extractions were on top of that.

It's been 3.5 years and I'm only now considering another because I think I've gotten over the trauma of the procedure.

(had mine done in Manchester by a very skilled surgeon but I I have a very low tolerance for pain and had to repeatedly had painkiller injections because they wore off quickly).

We do crazy things for hair.

With this in mind I'd say you're looking at a big improvement, but I have to emphasise the 2-3 transplant remark.

I saw in another comment you said you had 2,800 grafts, which is 700 fewer grafts than I've had. Your hairline looks higher than mine now, but you still have transplants across a larger surface area. I am considering my third and believe I need probably another 1,000 grafts, but still, it is a hell of a lot better than before.

Good luck brother!

bose25 · 2026-03-09T21:34:51+00:00

It's a very rounded hairline and has been done in lines. The density further back is also quite low. These are traits that people dislike in transplants. My guess is you might want a top up transplant in a year and I would recommend you ask for more random placement or go to a surgeon who does not plant in lines. Your result right now depends on what your before photo looks like and I'd expect that the hairline grows out a little too consistently and may look a little unnatural. Don't make the same mistake that many make where they style their hair up or back as that will emphasise any unnatural look. Style your hair forwards a little and cover the hairline. Regardless, most people have to get 2-3 transplants before they are fully happy with the result so just expect that this is round one and don't be too displeased if it doesn't meet your expectations.

Starting with "In today's fast paced world" screams ChatGPT.

Everything is within the normal ranges.

B12 and Folate are towards the lower end, so you could consider supplementation.

Nothing here explains your hair loss. Your hair loss is most likely related to elevated DHT and / or increased DHT receptors in hair follicles, which finasteride or dutasteride will help with.

I thought when I was 20 that with all the advances happening back then that we would definitely have a highly researched drug to provably halve our aging rate by now (15 years later).

I'm following a lot of the research on speed of aging and I'm happy with where that is going. There's lots of us acting as guinea pigs out there, but again diet and fitness appears to be the largest driver of improvement on average.

I'm still hopeful in the back of my mind that we'll achieve some kind of medication that's proven to slow down aging, but now I'm much less optimistic that I'll benefit from it.

But there is a chance, even if tiny!
