Can you really earn $500 a day on Facebook?

At 1 cent a Star, $500 a day means 50,000 Stars, every day. Even Meta’s guaranteed offer, for creators new to Facebook with 20,000 followers elsewhere, is $100 to $450 a month for 3 months.

Meta’s own pages could not be read when we checked, so these figures come from independent guides that agree. Where they disagree, we say so.

If an ad promises $500 a day

  • Ask what it is selling, such as a course or a tool.
  • No Meta program we could read promises anything like it to a new page.
  • Never pay to ‘unlock’ a Facebook income.
