Flickr Facebook is considering a new feature that’ll pay you cash for your witty statements and ‘grade-A banter’.
This means your hilarious status about the recent goings on, or that extra cheeky Nandos you had, could soon be earning more than just likes – if Facebook thinks it’s deserving enough.

FlickrThis means that it doesn’t really compete with other platforms like YouTube who splits advertising money with its content creators if a video gets enough views.
Facebook now wants to add this functionality to their platform and are reportedly looking into ways to offer their users ways to make money according to a recent customer survey questionnaire.

So why not start building up a back log of ‘banter’ now, you could soon be raking it in!
