Ghana’s inclusion on Meta’s monitization list has garnered appreciation for the Minister of Information, Hajia Fatima Abubakar, from Government Spokesperson for Governance and Security, Dr. Palgrave-Boakye Danquah.
The social media giant Meta has formally declared the opening of its monetization tools to Ghana, giving content producers the chance to profit from their skills.
Dr. Palgrave-Boakye Danquah explained the new plan in detail on Ashh FM’s National Agenda on Thursday, July 20,24.
He disclosed that , the new monetisation strategy would give Ghanaian content creators a cut of Facebook’s in-stream ad revenue, giving them a chance to profit financially when Meta runs ads alongside their content.
Furthermore, Meta intends to launch advertisements on Facebook reels, so increasing the revenue opportunities for the creators .
Dr. Boakye Danquah said on Ashh FM that later this year, the monetisation functionalities will be extended to Instagram users, providing a bigger platform for producers to profit from their digital work.
According to the announcement, in order to participate in this initiative, content providers must adhere to Meta’s strict Partner Monetization Policies and Content Monetization Policies. He stated that the initiative’s goal is to empower Ghanaian content creators to make cash locally from their online activities, which will improve their ability to efficiently manage digital enterprises in their own way.
When asked if there are any tax arrangements involved, Dr. Boakye Danquah dismissed that notion, insisting that this is simply a fantastic opportunity for the country’s content providers.
He praised the minister for her excellent lobbying skills in achieving this outcome.
