How to make money with videos on Telegram and Facebook using links
Updated: November 3, 2026
If you have a Telegram channel or a Facebook page or group with followers, you already have the hardest part: the audience. If you upload the video straight to those apps, you usually earn nothing per play. By sharing it with a link from a platform that pays per view, every real play adds money to your balance. Here’s how to do it well, without driving your followers away.
How it works
- 1Upload the video to Dembed (free, up to 20 GB).
- 2Copy the video link and post it on your channel, group or page with good copy.
- 3The link shows the thumbnail and title; tapping it opens the video in the player.
- 4Every real play of at least 60 seconds without an ad blocker counts as a monetized view and adds to your balance.
Telegram tips
- Post the link with a line that sparks interest and the thumbnail will show as a preview.
- Pin messages with your best videos and organize them by topic or season.
- Use a folder per series on Dembed and share episodes in order.
- Avoid posting many links in a row: one or two a day, well presented, work better.
Facebook tips
- Post the link with a description and let Facebook build the preview with the thumbnail.
- In groups, follow the rules about links: if they’re not allowed, ask the admin.
- Facebook may give less reach to posts with external links; also share a short clip or image and put the link in the text or a comment.
- Reply to comments: engagement helps the post reach more people.
Which videos work best
- Videos longer than a minute that hook from the start (only views of 60 seconds or more count).
- Series and episodes: people come back for the next one.
- Tutorials, recaps and content that’s useful to your community.
- Always your own content or content you have permission for: copyright-infringing content is removed and earns nothing.
What not to do
- Buy views or use bots: they’re discarded and can get your monetization suspended.
- Ask followers to reload the video many times: only one view per person and video every 24 hours counts.
- Spam links in other people’s groups: Telegram and Facebook can block your account.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on how many followers watch your videos all the way through and which countries they’re from. RPM varies a lot by country; you can estimate it with the earnings calculator.
