In this session, Josh shares how he accidentally unlocked a powerful new revenue stream by simply cross-posting his Instagram content to Facebook. What started as a passive afterthought quickly turned into explosive growth, with one viral video driving his Facebook following from 100 to 100,000 overnight and opening the door to built-in monetization. Within just a few months, this shift generated thousands of dollars per month without changing his core content strategy.

He dives into the mechanics of Facebook monetization, including how to qualify, how payouts work, and how bonus programs can significantly increase earnings. Attendees will learn why longer watch time, volume of posting, and consistency matter more than perfection and how Facebook’s algorithm rewards experimentation over curation.
