What Does It Mean to be a Rising Creator on Facebook?

I received a notification today on Facebook with regards to one of several pages that I manage. The notification congratulates the page for earning a spot in the top 1% of rising creators within a particular week. Below is a copy of the notification. The notification also came with a quick explanation as to what consitutes a "rising creator".

Congratulations, ___________, you've earned a spot in the top 1% of rising creators this week.

What's a rising creator?


*The rising creator title shows that your content has received strong audience engagement, while meeting quality, originality and integrity guidelines.

*The title now displays on your Page with your self-selected category and in creator recommendation units which may help grow your audience.

*The title is awarded for 1 week at a time, is re-evaluated weekly, and, when lost, can be earned again in the following weeks(s).

*Changing Page category may void a current rising creator title, causing its removal.

After receiving the notification, I checked the Page in question and yes indeed, it now has a Rising Creator badge.

What does this mean for your page?


It looks like there are two main benefits that a Page will reap if given a Rising Creator label. One, posts in the Page will be seen by more people. Getting the label means Facebook recognizes the content of the Page. Thus they will surely give the Page a boost in their algorithms. Another huge benefit of getting the label is that it will be easier for people to find and discover the Page. When Facebook announced the new feature, they specifically stated that the "Rising Creator Labels allow people to discover up-and-coming creators who are the best at building engaging communities on Facebook."

This is a great way to reward Page owners who work very hard to come up with original and engaging content. However, the label will only stay for a week. Facebook is basically saying that they will refresh the algorithm every week and if your Page doesn't meet whatever requirements they have, your Page will be booted out. It sounds a bit harsh but it makes sense and it's fair.

How To Fix The "Missing Logo" Error Notification On Facebook Instant Articles

If you sign up with Facebook's Instant Articles program, you will likely meet various obstacles during the process. This is especially true if you are not that familiar with programming languages and other coding-related issues. I signed up with Instant Articles a few days ago and it was all going well until I came to the "Submit for Review" section of the initial setup. A "missing logo" error message and notification keeps appearing which prevented me from submitting the five articles I just created.

Basically, the error message is as follows: "Missing logo. All articles must include a logo, which you can upload in the Style Editor." Needless to say, I went to the Style Editor section and created a new style. I uploaded a logo which is a picture that I've used in my website for several years. However, after uploading and saving the logo in the new style I just created, the "missing logo" error still appears on my configuration page.

Obviously, creating a new style and uploading a logo is merely the first step in fixing the error. What you need to do is go back to the "default" style and upload the same logo. Save it, wait for a few moments, refresh, and check if the error message has disappeared. This worked for me so I hope that it will work for you as well.

Once the "missing logo" error notification on Instant Articles has disappeared, you can now submit the initial articles you created for review. You will receive the following notification after submitting your articles: "Your review is currently pending. Article reviews are usually completed within 1-3 business days."
Always keep in mind that you won't be able to start publishing Instant Articles if your initial output hasn't been reviewed and approved. With that said, it's highly recommended that you see to it that the initial articles you submit follow all the rules and formats as put forth by Facebook. And of course, don't forget to connect your website with your page.

To summarize things, you have to upload a logo for the new style that you created as well as for the default style. This will fix the "missing logo" problem. It worked for me so I'm hoping that it will work for you as well.
