When I started my Instagram in 2020, I wondered how people made an income from posting about their lives. Soon after I started making money blogging, I realized the effort and also working towards longevity. Making money on instagram and honestly anywhere takes effort, work and time. I’m not saying this to discourage you, but rather to let you know not to give up! You’ll get so many no’s before you get a yes and that’s a part of this online journey. Sometimes we see someone’s success, but we do not take into consideration the journey before then.
In this blog post, I will talk about the ways you can make money on instagram.
1. Affiliate links
Get paid to share things you love already. Each affiliate link has its benefits. Don’t just sign up and expect to make money. Include the links in regular conversation, blog posts, on Instagram stories. Here are a couple of affiliate programs Liketoknow.it, Amazon, CJ Affiliates, and you can also check out your favorite items and see if they offer affiliates.
2. Physical product
You can create a product and sell it them online. You will need to set up a check out system, website, marketing plan etc. This will take time, but it is so worth it.
3. Digital Product
Take your expertise and create an ebook, guide etc. I’ve created a guide to help you Master Instagram Stories and a Hashtag Booklet. The best way to get ebook sales consistently is to have an email list. I personally use Flodesk and love it!
4. Create a course
You have knowledge that others want. Create a course to help others get to where you are now. Don’t make it complicated! My first course started in a FB group. The best way is to start with a beta group.
5. Brand Partnerships
You can earn income by pitching brands. Remember to not get discouraged, there will be no’s but you only need one yes! Join Influencer platforms to help brands find and connect with you.
