Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, has been investing significantly in the development and promotion of reels, and it shows: the short-form TikTok-like videos are blowing up on the platforms. Due to these investments and their fun and engaging nature, reels have grown to be one of the best-loved content types on both platforms, and are a beloved way for millions of users to spend time in only three short years since their introduction in 2020. And thanks to the same qualities, reels have also become one of the best ways to earn money on the platforms. Creators large and small can now use reels to up their income!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In this article, we are going to take a look at how to get paid for reels on Instagram, how much you can earn, how to qualify for bonuses, and much more. Ready? Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Definition of Reels on Instagram and Facebook<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

First things first, let\u2019s understand what reels are, and what are their main similarities and differences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Reels on Instagram <\/a>and Facebook are short-form videos with a duration between 00:03 and 00:90 seconds for Instagram and up to 00:60 seconds on Facebook. Here\u2019s the basic idea: Instagram and Facebook users can upload videos, and edit them using a large library of built-in editing tools, filters, music, and audio\/voiceover files. They can also shoot videos in the app itself, managing the creation process entirely in-app. Reels are designed to help users showcase their humor, creativity, and talents, and just get involved with their followers in a more fun way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can then choose to add Instagram Reels to your profile or save them in the Reels section. Facebook Reels are similar in this sense, and users have the option to add them to their feeds or only keep them in the separate Reels section. After you upload them, Facebook Reels will appear in people\u2019s news feeds, in the Reels section next to stories, and on Facebook Watch, Facebook\u2019s free video-on-demand service.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There are, however, some differences between the two. For example, you can choose to add your Instagram reels to Facebook. However, people won\u2019t be able to comment on such reels. They\u2019ll need to head to Instagram to do this, which may slightly reduce your engagement rates as not everyone will be willing to make the switch. Another difference is that you can choose who gets to see the reel when you post or repost a reel to Facebook. Lastly, a watermark on the reels posted to Facebook through Instagram will indicate where the reel comes from. By clicking on it, people will be redirected to your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
