How to Make Money on Instagram
Perhaps everyone wants to work without leaving home, I want to tell you that in the twenty-first century it is already possible. There are many ways that you can make money from your website, blog etc. but the hot social media network of the moment is Instagram and the question on many minds is: “How can I make money from Instagram?” No wonder, right? You share your life on Instagram. You share your clothes, What's your favorite movie, What your dog is doing, What is your favorite food
, What you’re buying, Where you’re traveling… so it’d be nice to make a little extra money in exchange for your efforts, right?! As we all know, the powers that be have not made it particularly easy to make money on Instagram, but there are plenty of ways to get around this limitation.
You can earn money with different ways: AFFILIATE LINKS, SPONSORED POSTS, REACH OUT TO COMPANIES, SELL YOUR INSTAGRAM PHOTOS, INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER AGENCIES Etc.
- Deciding on a Niche. food, fitness and movie reviews are hot on Instagram
- Think of a catchy simple name
- Signing up
- Upload about 3+ niche related pictures
And then what you have to do is that...
Post much of the time.
You have to post at least one photo per day, and it has to be good. While you could post another photo of your latte from Starbucks, try to go for something more unique and eye-catching.
Follow accounts with similar posts to your own or follow people who follow those accounts. If you’re interested in travel, food, fitness, etc., you should plug yourself into those communities by commenting, liking, and following other users in the network. You don’t have to stay following the accounts forever, but it’s a good way to get other people to check out your account.
Now for the fun part. Without a doubt, shoutouts would have to be the major money maker. I was getting some shoutouts from a large account last year for $65 an hour.
He always put me on a waiting list so I asked why. He said he gets so many people buying shoutouts he needs a waiting list to space them out. Point is he ALWAYS has this waiting list full.
So he’s posting all day sometimes 2 at a time. At minimum, he’s making $65 an hour 8 hours a day… $520 a day.
Of course, he has over 2 million followers but even people with 100k are charging $10-15 an hour.
Finding people who buy shoutout’s is easy. Put some contact details in your profile or search for forums where you can list your shoutout services. Sign up to a shoutout website.
Sponsored Posts
Sponsored posts are considered the holy grail for those wishing to make money using Instagram. Those who have large followings are frequently reported to be making tens of thousands of dollars for just one picture. Kendall Jenner allegedly makes $120,000-$300,000 for one photo and her big sister Kim Kardashian is said to make even more! Can you even imagine?!
Of course, the thing about raking in the big bucks from sponsored Instagram posts is that you need to have a large following. I’ve seen it suggested that people start making money from their Instagram accounts when they get into the 5,000-10,000 follower range. If you’re currently shy of those numbers, check out these tips for growing your Instagram following as well as the InstaRevealed Guides. I guarantee that between those two sources you will be growing your Instagram following and on your way to being approached about sponsored posts on Instagram in no time!
