You can earn money from Instagram

You should have a Instagram niche

You can start an instagram account about anything like travel, gaming, sneakers, animals, memes or whatever you want. Then once you grow a following you can make money from it!

The idea is to start an instagram page and grow 1000s of followers on that page. It can be done by setting up a cool profile and sharing other people’s content every day (ethically). Once you have lots of traffic and followers you can make money.

I’ll break it down into 3 simple steps:

Make an Instagram page about a specific topic
Post viral photos and videos every day so you attract followers that love your page
Make money once you have thousands of followers!

Is it legit?

Yes! It’s part of a giant industry called influencer marketing. There are THOUSANDS of niche pages on instagram already. This is real and you can start one on any topic you’re passionate about.

As long as people are using instagram this will be an opportunity. And Instagram has over 1 BILLION monthly active users! So it will be around for years to come (probably longer).

How Do You Make Money?

Once you have enough traffic/followers on your instagram there are many ways to monetize it. The common ways are to:

Sell shoutouts/ads/sponsorships to brands
Affiliate marketing
Create your own product (digital or physical)
Sell your services

How you monetize varies greatly on your niche and your own business skills.

How To Get Started

The idea of growing an Instagram page is simple but actually doing it is difficult if you don’t know what steps to take.

Here is how I approach it starting form zero:

1. Research a niche – You want to find a niche that’s easy to monetize, easy to find viral content and know how much competition it has.

2. Set up your account – Make a good username, profile pic, bio etc. Then follow accounts in your niche and start liking and engaging with their content. This tells the IG algorithm what kind of account yours is.

3. Start posting viral content daily – Find viral content that has worked before and post daily. Give credit to the original owners. Learn growth strategies like how to use hashtags, how to get on explore page and more so you can grow. Be consistent on this step and be patient.

4. Monetize – If you do steps 1-3 correctly your page will start growing. When you have enough traffic you can monetize your page with the ideas discussed above.

5. Outsource (optional) – Once your page is growing and making money you can start scheduling posts and hiring freelancers. Then you’ll have more time to grow the business or do whatever you like.
