Have the courage to try but don'y know where to start?
Worry no more 'cause i have you covered!. Like you, I also want a piece of the pie in Facebook instant articles earning capabilities. Like you, I also had difficulty, as most of the tutorials in the web is for Wordpress users. So I have created a this tutorial specifically for blogspot users to set you up and get your application approved.
So here we go:
Requirements:
1. You should have a working blog in blogger.com with a minimum of five (5) posts and suggested to have ten (10) to twenty (20). Preferably with five (500) words each and two (2) catchy images per post.
2. You should have a Facebook Page (Pages, Created from your personal/working account).
3. Signup with Facebook Instant articles. You can use your personal FB account.
4. Persistence and Patience. (Very important!)
By now, you should be ready.
On your Page, click "Publishing Tools". See Figure Below.
Next, Click "Connect Your Site"... You should be seeing a black text back with HTML codes.
You will need four steps to complete this:
1. Copy the whole Code.
2. Open your blogger page and go to "Themes" and Click "Edit HTML"
3. Paste the code below the <head> tag.
4. Go back and Type your URL on the space and click "Claim URL"
Blogger Theme Page
Theme HTML Markup
You should now have claimed your URL.
The next thing to do now is create five (5) sample articles to be submitted for review. The idea is to have you approved the fastest and easiest way possible. Remember that in the beginning of the tutorial, the minimum requirement is to have five working blogs. This is where we need it.
*FB instant articles only works on mobile devices, if the visitor uses a computer to go to your page they will still see the original site so it is imperative that what you create on Instant article has a working page.
Ok then, let's begin creating your blogger page on FB instant article. Below Instant Article, click "Production Articles" and click "+Create".
*If you need guidance for creating the markup, please go to this link.
Once you have created the five (5) articles, go to Configuration and click "submit for review". The below figure is still show that there is not enough articles. Once you have created five articles, the "Submit for Review" button should be active.
Now, you will need patience, as it should take a few days to get approved. Lucky for me, I had mine approved in two (2) days!
While waiting, you can continue to create more posts in your blog.
Once approved, you can now apply Audience Network to have your blogs start earning through advertisements. You need to be a Facebook developer to apply Audience Network.
*To become a Facebook Developer click Here. You will just need your FB login.
AD Placement codes need to be created in the developer page and applied to your Instant Article markup. If you need guidance please click here.
Once all the advertisements are applied, you can now "publish" your articles in Instant Articles. Congratulations!
The creator of this tutorial is neither a professional blogger nor a programmer/website designer, so please pardon the rawness and simplicity of how it was created. It is intended to be used by those who have minimal knowledge as the creator in making blogs and web design.
