| Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive officer of Facebook Inc., speaks during the Facebook F8 Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, U.S., on Tuesday, April 12, 2016. Facebook is reportedly considering a tip jar and other money-making features |
The company is said to be considering adding tools that would let individual users earn money in a variety of ways, The Verge reports. Facebook recently sent some users a survey asking them to vote for a preferred method of making money. The questionnaire was spotted on a verified user’s page, but it’s unclear if the survey had only been sent to such members or if it had been distributed more broadly.
Options included adding a virtual tip jar so that fans can tip the user, earning money through branded content, a donation option that would let fans contribute to a charity of the user’s choosing, and a call to action button (i.e. buy tickets, etc.), among other choices.
“It’s still very early, but we’re committed to creating sustainable, long-term monetization models for our partners and we’re listening to feedback,” a Facebook spokesperson said in an email to TIME.
