6 Remote Facebook Jobs and Money-Making Opportunities

If you’re searching for remote jobs with Facebook, now known as Meta, this post has you covered! 

You probably know Facebook as the world’s largest social media platform. But did you know that Facebook owns web properties like Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Meta Quest, Workplace, and Metal Portal? With this massive reach, comes many ways to work with Facebook! 

If you enjoy spending time on Facebook and would like to work from home, here are some remote Facebook jobs and money-making opportunities, as well as scams that you need to know about.

1. Social Media Evaluation Jobs

Much like a Search Engine Evaluator, or an Ad Rater, in this role, you will log on to social media sites, like Facebook, to search up keywords and terms for quality and relevancy. But before you can begin, you must pass a three-part online test, which I’ve read is quite challenging. For these roles, you must be detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and up to date on current trends. You can apply for these remote jobs on Appen, TELUS International, and Teemwork.ai. In these positions, you’ll work as an independent contractor, but your work hours are flexible.

2. Facebook Ads Manager

If you’ve figured out the key to effective Facebook ads, there are lots of business owners who will pay you handsomely to run and manage their Facebook ads. These positions are sometimes called Paid Media Specialists or Digital Ad Specialists. You can find these remote jobs on sites like FlexJobs, Brafton, IZEA, and Cafe Media.

Another way to as a Facebook Ads Manager is by starting your own Facebook Ad Management Agency from home. If you’re not sure where to start, Bobby Hoyt created a course called, the Facebook Side Hustle, which teaches you how to manage small business owners’ Facebook ads. While I’ve not taken the course myself or reviewed it, it does come highly recommended by my friend Kristin from Believe in a Budget.

3. Social Media Moderator

As a Facebook Moderator, you will oversee Facebook groups and pages to ensure that group rules are followed, questions are answered, and spammers are kept at bay. In this role, you won’t be working for Facebook directly; instead, you’ll be working for business owners and bloggers who need assistance with their Facebook pages and groups.

4. Social Media Manager

Social Media Management is an all-encompassing position where you’ll create content, respond to queries, run and evaluate social media campaigns, moderate content, and much more. Usually, you can score these jobs if you have a marketing degree, social media experience, or by taking an online course. Often for these roles, you’ll need to be familiar with multiple platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, as well as Facebook, and Instagram.

Meta hires for a wide variety of remote marketing roles, so you can start your job search there. You can also find social media positions at marketing agencies and large and small companies alike. Staffing agencies like Robert Half and Kelly Services are excellent for finding one-off remote job opportunities as well.

If you want more control over your time, providing freelance social media services is a great option. You can post your services on sites like Upwork or Fiverr, or you can pitch clients directly. For more information on starting your own social media business, check out this article.

5. Become a Facebook Influencer

If you’re a content creator who enjoys creating unique content online, Facebook has many options for you to monetize your influence. 

Currently, Facebook has five in-house methods for making money with your content: 

• In-Stream and In-Article Ads
• Fan Subscriptions
• Branded Content
• Stars
• Bonuses 

To make money with these methods, you’ll need an established Brand or Business Page on Facebook. Each monetization method has certain criteria that you’ll need to meet before you can apply to the program, but once you meet those milestones, it’s easy to apply. I’m not certain how they choose who gets into each program; I was eligible for Bonuses and applied, but I’m still waiting to hear back (it’s been months). 

You can also monetize your Facebook influence with affiliate marketing, or you can sell your own products on Facebook. Whether you want to create branded merch or sell printables or courses, there are lots of ways to make money from your Facebook Page or Group.

6. Remote Work with Facebook

If you want to work as a Facebook employee, they have lots of remote jobs for the taking! Facebook hires remote employees from the US, Canada, and Europe (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the UK).

To locate the work-from-home jobs on their site, select the filter that says location and then choose remote. Facebook hires in many different career areas such as advertising, business development, communications, data, design, engineering, finance, legal, operations, sales, marketing, interns, and more! 

According to what I read on Glassdoor.com, Facebook does have a work-at-home policy where in-person employees get to work from home on Wednesdays. It also sounds like most managers are pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling. Recently, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that:

We are going to be the most forward-leaning company on remote work at our scale, and we’re going to do this over time in a way that is measured, thoughtful, and responsible

Besides embracing remote work, Meta offers many benefits to its employees, including health and wellness plans, paid family leave, a 401k plan, paid time off, and more! You can apply for Facebook’s remote jobs here.

Watch Out for Scams

Of course, because so many people want to work for Facebook, scammers like to take advantage of this eagerness by promoting fake Facebook jobs. On the Scam Detector, he mentions two, one being “Facebook Fortunes Home Income Flow,” and the other being “Facebook Bonanza.”

With these, when you click on the apply button, it takes you to a landing page where you’ll need to enter your credit card information to obtain the starter kit. It’s like the Easy Google Profits scam that was running rampant a few years ago. Once they have your credit card info, your account continues to be charged month after month for this bogus information.

The other scam you need to watch out for is scammers pretending to be Facebook; imposter scams. With this type of scam, you may receive an email, text, or phone call saying that Facebook wants to interview you for a remote job. However, it’s not Facebook. It’s an imposter pretending to be Facebook. Legit companies don’t use free email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo and they’re not going to interview on third-party messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp.

When you’re uncertain if a job is legit or not, take your time to research the opportunity extensively. Look on websites like the Better Business Bureau and Glassdoor.com — they can offer you a wealth of information. If you’re being contacted by a recruiter, verify their identity on LinkedIn. You should also track all of your applications, so you know if you applied for the job or not.

Conclusion

While you need to be aware of scams, you can find many legit work-from-home jobs with Facebook. If you’re willing to freelance or start a business, there are many money-making options for you that involve being on Facebook!

Good luck and let us know if you decide to apply for any of these jobs!
