Has anyone heard of a content creator for meta that is paid by facebook?

I have a client that received 1099 misc income not sure if it is misc or should this go to a schedule C

apparently she creates something and if people look at it she gets paid.  Not sure how to handle this any thoughts?

Thanks

sounds like compensation for providing a service, Sch C.

Could be a trade or business, and then again, it could be royalty income to report on Schedule E.  Which is probably why they issue a MISC and not a NEC.  For an interesting discussion of tax treatment for intellectual property, although from 10 years ago, see
