Instant Articles provides a faster, Facebook-native way of distributing the content that publishers already produce for their own websites. Every article published as an Instant Article must be published on a news publisher’s website as well.
When posting Instant Articles to Facebook, publishers and readers link to articles just as they always have. Each Instant Article is associated with a URL link, so when a link is shared in News Feed, readers on Facebook see the Instant Article version if it’s available.
Do you know, you can earn a lot of money by publishing your articles on Facebook Page?
You can get approximately $1.5 to $4 CPM depending on the country from which you get the traffic. Earning 10–100 dollars a day is very much possible if you have a decent amount of traffic.

Next is to setup your page for Instant Articles
This guide outlines the quickest way to set up Instant Articles within Creator Studio, where you can produce, monetise, share and measure the performance of your Instant Articles on Facebook. Please note that the initial setup process involves a one-time review by Facebook that may take several weeks because of recent changes to the review process.
- Setup: Open Creator Studio and go to the Monetisation tab. To be eligible for Instant Articles, you’ll need to meet our Instant Articles Policies and Partner Monetisation Policies, as well as have an established web presence for your domain. If your Page meets the eligibility criteria, you’ll be able to click Set up. Click Review terms to review the Instant Articles Terms of Service. Then click Agree to terms.
- Submit ten articles for review: Facebook will ask you to complete a series of four actions to prepare your articles for Facebook review. During this process, you’ll have an opportunity to upload a group of test articles before submitting your publication-ready article set for review. Click Begin to get started.
- Claim your domain: Click Claim to register your domain. To connect your site, add the meta tag shown in the black bar below the head tag in your website’s HTML code. You can register up to ten domains with Facebook to use for Instant Articles. You’ll need to register your site’s URL with Facebook, along with any development URLs that you’ll use to test your articles. Make sure that you don’t include the prefix “www” when you claim your root domain.
- Configure article styles: Click Configure to customise the look and feel of your articles with article styles. Article styles are visual templates that you can create and apply to your articles. For example, it may be useful to apply a different style to branded content so that readers can tell that it’s sponsored content.
- Set up monetisation: Click Begin to get started. Then click Review terms to read the Terms and Conditions. Then click Agree to terms. Click Set up account to start monetising. You can select a pre-existing account if you’re already monetising on Creator Studio. You can also create a new account by uploading your tax ID and relevant information and connecting your preferred bank account. Once you’ve successfully set up your account, the button will say Completed.
Once your Instant Articles have been approved, you’re ready to start sharing them on Facebook:
Note: Instant Articles are never posted to your Page automatically. You must create a new post each time you would like to distribute your articles.
