MARCH 31, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 🚨 What you need to know this week 1. Facebook brings affiliate money back and it’s built for creators. FB and IG now let creators earn commission on products tagged in posts, with AI filling in product details and a cleaner one-click checkout flow. Facebook is also plugging into partners like Amazon, which means real inventory and real payouts. For a lot of publishers, sending traffic out to a blog and hoping for ad revenue can be slow and unpredictable. This...

MARCH 24, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 🚨 What you need to know this week 1. Reels with early speech and faces drive up to 25% higher retention. Everyone’s been obsessing over hooks, cuts, transitions - this data cuts through that. Speech in the first three seconds lifts retention by almost 25%. Show a face early, you get another bump. Keep it tight and loop it clean, short clips under 7 seconds get replayed and pushed harder. Vertical still dominates, with about 20% more reach. This lines up...

MARCH 19, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 💡 Industry News Facebook to start paying creators to switch platforms Facebook just launched a Creator Fast Track program, offering $1,000 to $3,000 per month to creators with 100K to 1M followers on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube if they start posting on Facebook. This is direct competition. FB is paying to pull creators in instead of waiting for them to drift over. We’re already seeing this shift up close.

MARCH 17, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 🚨 What you need to know this week 1. Facebook just made updates to monetization and is rewarding content that keeps people watching longer. There’s now a minimum threshold baked in. Reels need to run at least 10 seconds, and viewers have to stay for at least 5 seconds for it to count toward earnings. This is where most pages slip. They chase volume instead of retention - that doesn’t pay like it used to. You need stronger openings, cleaner edits, and a reason...

MARCH 5, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 💎 EXCLUSIVE PLAYBOOK: Do this immediately when your Facebook earnings or views start dropping If you run Facebook pages long enough, you’ve felt it. Views start slipping. Earnings soften. Nothing dramatic. Just enough that you notice the numbers aren’t moving like they used to. And when that happens, most publishers do the worst thing possible. They start changing everything at once. That’s how pages get wrecked. The real operators know the drop itself isn’t...

MARCH 3, 2026 PUBLISHER INSIDER 🚨 What you need to know this week 1. Facebook adjusted the Reels algo again. Over the past few days, we’ve watched performance drop hard on Reels that feel overly edited, AI-heavy, or visually unrealistic. The ones that look natural, phone-shot, human, imperfect are moving.
