The significant drop in Facebook earnings is a common issue as their bonus programs have been phased out. Posting external links to your blog will likely reduce your organic reach on Facebook, as the algorithm prioritizes content that keeps users on-platform. A better strategy is to post engaging native content (videos, images) on Facebook to build an audience and then subtly promote your blog through your profile and dedicated posts.

Posting links can slightly reduce reach, but not dramatically. A blog with Google Ads is still viable. Just mix link posts with regular native content.

If you post an external link, Facebook will limit interaction. On the post, you should only post the content, and attach the link to the first comment of the post.

You can try looking at it from a multi-channel perspective: after Meta tightened the rewards, everyone experienced a decrease in income, so don't rely entirely on the platform's distribution. Blogging + Adsense is still a safe choice if you optimize SEO-standard content and keep links at a natural level, without spam. If you go in the right direction, traffic will still increase steadily and reach will not be squeezed. In the long run, separating revenue into many sources will help you be much more stable than relying on just one reward program.

Content monetization on Facebook can be challenging, especially with reduced earnings from performance bonuses

Yeah, earnings have dropped a lot lately. For blogging, posting links can affect reach if it looks spammy, but if the content is good and the links are natural, it shouldn’t hurt too much. The key is balancing value and frequency. Curious if anyone else has tried it recently.

It’s been the same for a lot of people lately.
Performance bonus payouts have dropped significantly, and many creators are reporting lower RPM/reach even with consistent posting.

As long as your content is genuinely useful, a few ads or links wont hurt. google rewards value, not fear.

Starting a blog could actually help if you focus on quality algorithms notice engagement more than occasional outbound links.

 

[Adya Walia]

A lot of creators saw bonuses drop, so you’re not alone.
A blog can still work, but linking too often can hurt reach YouTube tends to down-rank anything that pushes viewers off-platform.
If you go that route, keep outbound links minimal and focus on strong in-video retention to offset it.

You need to Choose a topic or niche that you are passionate about, has high search volume but low competition. This can help you attract a specific audience and is more likely to make money from advertising. Your content needs to be quality and useful to readers. Google prioritizes articles that provide real value and are highly trustworthy. Use appropriate keywords, attractive titles and meta descriptions to improve your search rankings.

If youre already seeing lower returns, it might be worth experimenting anyway. Sometimes a new format opens up opportunities you wouldnt get from relying on one platform alone.

you should keep the article completely native so that the algorithm can distribute it normally, then put the link in the comment section, pin it to the top. this way, you will limit being marked as outbound or pushing the link after 1 or 2 hours when the article has reached enough initial interaction, and the distribution will not be reduced

Meta prioritizes original content, if you add external links this won't affect the recommendation. But if you continue to post great original content and keep the links at a reasonable level you should be fine.

Content monetization is tricky linking out can reduce reach slightly, but high-quality, engaging content still performs. Starting a blog with Google Ads is fine if you balance posts with value-first content on your page to keep engagement strong.

Post a completely original post without inserting any external links into the main content. This helps take advantage of the algorithm's Original Content priority mechanism, ensuring the post achieves strong distribution momentum and the best initial interaction. After the post has received enough interaction, you insert the link into the comment section and pin that comment to the top. This way, you will limit the algorithm from marking it as "Outbound" too early, preserve distribution, and still provide a link for users.
