How are instagram influencers paid


How Much Do Instagram Influencers Make? It Depends on These Factors.

Hot as influencer marketing is these days, it’s easy to wonder: how much do Instagram influencers actually make? After all, the industry as a whole makes billions of dollars each year. While some influencers are household names and thus celebrities, such as Kylie Jenner or Taylor Swift, most others in the influencer space are ordinary people. Influencers can be housewives, bankers, college students, aestheticians, and more. Really, anyone with a social media account and some spare time can become a nano or micro – influencer with enough niche content, persistence, engagement, and time, from the travel blogger who evaluates coffee shops across the country to the backyard chicken-keeper. Here, we’ll just talk about the Instagram content creator crowd. Along with YouTube, it is one of the more profitable platforms for influencers.

How Much Do Instagram Influencers Make? It’s More Than Just Sponsorships

When we talk about how much Instagram influencers make, there are several factors at play. First of all, not everyone spends all their time working as an influencer. Rather, many start out as hobbyists, and many never quit their day job and instead see their role as an influencer as a side hustle that is able to bring in thousands of dollars a year for additional expenses, savings, or additional hobbies. Not only that, but some influencers make money in ways that don’t involve paid-for sponsored posts. Income can be thought of fairly broadly and posts must adhere to community guidelines and the rules set forth by the marketing partnership. Below, we’ll discuss the most common ways influencers bring in consistent income and begin their influencer career. 

Some work for product

Example of gifting product to influencer for a social media post.

Especially when starting out in the age of influence, many Instagram personalities will exchange sponsored posts for goods and services. One of the nice things about this option is that the influencer gets to play with something for free, then give his or her opinion about it. Often, these deals are set up in a review type format, but that doesn’t work as well for Instagram. A fitness influencer, for instance, may be given a set of sportswear to try out and give their opinion on.

For Instagram product exchanges, try a selfie showing off the product and saying something complimentary about it. Beauty products are great for this format: perhaps a foundation held up all day on the model’s oily skin, which is a major issue, or an influencer in outdoor sports takes a hydration pack on the latest adventure. At some scenic spot, he takes a photo with himself and the item and writes a witty caption detailing the efficacy of the product (or adds some words to the picture itself).

Here’s the key to making this type of deal: Make it a fair exchange. As I’ve said before, you don’t want to make an influencer feel like he or she is being cheated. Not only will they not come back, but they have followers who will listen if they complain about it. At the end of the day, you need to have a mutually beneficial relationship with your influencers if you want to truly make the most of their follower count and increase your brand’s reach. In these relationships, influencer charges are not set dollar amounts, but are more likely to be specific collections or sought-after products.

Others work for affiliate commissions

Not every influencer in the influencer industry likes to get paid a flat fee for their creative work, and there are other influencer marketing strategy alternatives to giving away product. One of the better options is with affiliate marketing links. Affiliate programs have the influencer incorporate the affiliate link in their post somehow. That could mean adding the links to products through photo editing, in which case the consumer would have to type in the address manually. Or, the link could be added in the Instagram bio area, which allows directly adding links. Read my post on Instagram link in bio to see how this can look.

Another way to pay influencers for results rather than exposure is by using promotional codes. Here, it is very easy for the influencer to add the promo code in the photo description. When someone buys your product using the code, the influencer gets a commission.

One thing I like about this kind of compensation is that it pays for results. However, it isn’t the way to go if you’re mainly trying to build brand awareness. That’s because brand awareness campaigns aren’t intended to get immediate sales and rake in thousands of dollars, which tends to be the goal of affiliate marketing. Using these techniques inappropriately is a great way to make an influencer feel cheated and destroy the relationship between you, the influencer, and their specific niche audience.

Some influencers create their own products

Although many influencers get paid primarily through sponsored posts, many influencers also have other sources of revenue. For instance, having a custom line of products or developing digital products are popular ways to monetize influence. You’ll see this a lot with fashion brands or the beauty industry: Take a look at some of the larger influencers, and they have a product line all their own. Alternatively, they might work with a major brand in the beauty community (or another community) to make a “collaboration.” Here, the beauty influencer (or other type of influencer) helps design something special. In both cases, the influencer makes money off the sales. While a few Instagram posts will likely be part of the promotion, this isn’t the same thing as a sponsorship and involves a more significant collaboration between both parties.

Here’s another way that people can monetize Instagram: teaching. This usually involves some sort of course creation or membership site that they sell. Users can post Reels or videos and do tutorials or discuss items of interest to their audience. So, a rock climbing enthusiast might give followers tips, and then advertise an online course on rock climbing. At the same time, he or she can “double dip” by selling rock climbing gear through sponsored posts magnifying the lives of influencers and encouraging followers to mimic them. Using all of these techniques is often how people shift from using social media as a hobby to making it a full-time career. 

Instagram might just pay you directly

To more effectively establish the efficacy and use of Instagram Reels, Instagram has begun offering certain creators money according to how their reels perform. Whether you have several hundred followers or tens of thousands, it may be possible to monetize income among accounts, simply by making sure that you post reels consistently and promote them well enough to garner the number of views required to earn the Instagram “bonus”. Not everyone is eligible for Reel payouts, however, as the platform is focused primarily on rolling out the offering to those with previously successful reels, and those with a solid base of followers. 

From ethical influencers to influencers who focus all of their attention and energy on fashion and beauty, people from all niches and backgrounds can utilize Instagram itself as a source of income. Differences in income will be determined by number of followers, performance of the Reel in question, and overall performance of the Reel. Fraudulent activity is closely monitored through this program, and holders of accounts displaying questionable activity will be removed from the program if they have 3 or more incidences of fraud. 

Sponsored Posts: There’s No Fixed Formula for How Much Instagram Influencers Make

Perhaps the trickiest part about sponsored influencer posts is trying to negotiate a fair price for the campaign. As I pointed out above, there’s more than one way to make money as an Instagram influencer, and not all of them involve cash or a definitive monthly income–and not all influencers treat their accounts as a full-time job. Furthermore, the world of influencer marketing is still something of a Wild West town. Essentially, negotiating a fair rate all comes down to negotiating agreeable terms with your intended influencer. Remember: influencer marketing generally has a high return on investment, so there’s no reason to be a cheapskate on custom content. From travel influencers to health influencers, the sway of their influence can be an invaluable asset to your marketing campaigns. At the same time, you don’t want to get taken advantage of. Here are some considerations:

Check Out an Instagram Influencer Calculator

While rates are highly negotiable in influencer marketing, there are some emerging industry models that serve as a good starting place. For instance, there are a slew of Instagram influencer calculators, like the one pictured above, that consider a variety of variables, such as the number of followers and engagement rate–which can help weed out the possibility of fake followers–to give you a starting point for the precise number of dollars per post you can expect to pay. I’m a fan of this tool because, in addition to a rough estimate of cash payments, they’ll give you detailed information about the kinds of people an influencer has following them. Look at the report, and you can quickly find out if they’re a match for your target audience.

In fact, I wrote a whole post about these calculators, How Much Should I Pay an Influencer? Testing Out 7 Instagram Influencer Calculators, which details the range of prices these calculators estimated that my Instagram posting was about. While there were differences amongst the results, there was also a surprising amount of consistency.

What does the consistency in calculators mean? That there is an emerging set of rules on how to set prices for the majority of small to medium sized influencers. When you’re talking about an influencer with millions of followers, some of these rules are altered significantly, and they do tend to have set prices. Fortunately, the highest-paid Instagram influencers will have a set rate, and you won’t have to bother with the process of determining what the average influencer expects. Unfortunately, those rates are likely to be quite high, and your influencer marketing campaign may not recover from seeking out the top performers. Instead, ope for those with sources of income that more closely align with the size and scope of your brand or company.  

Consider the Number of Followers

In the industry, we talk about nano, micro, macro, and mega. Really, the mega influencers are bordering on celebrity status with over a million followers. Nano influencers have fewer than 10,000 followers, micro up to 100,000, and macro between 100k and a million. A lot of ink has been spilled, including on my blog, about the value of the nano and micro influencers.

Why does following size matter for pricing? Because a lot of brands pay by the number of followers that the influencer has. Generally, for the lower levels of influencer, expect to pay around $10 per 1,000 followers. That means shelling out $100 for that micro influencer or $1,000 for a macro influencer. Keep in mind, however, that some influencers charge something significantly outside those guidelines. Being someone famous off of Instagram can cause a price to rise, while willingness to work for charities might lower them.



The coronavirus pandemic has affected pricing, and this might be to the benefit of the brand. Read my post on changes in influencer marketing with COVID-19 for the details.

Think About Engagement

One thing you’ll see in the calculators mentioned above is that they take follower engagement into account. With the larger followings, there will be more people who just hang around to see what someone has to say. For instance, Katy Perry has a very low engagement rate of under 1%. She has a lot of followers, and is famous in other forums. We’d think of her Instagram nod as more of a celebrity endorsement, and these are priced very differently.

On the other hand, engagement rate makes a big difference with lower level influencers. That’s why some influencers and brands use a different pricing model: number of engagements. With this model, a brand pays based on the number of followers who generally engage with the influencer’s posts. Here, the price tends to run between $250 and $750 per 1,000 engagements.

Arguably, the pay per engagement model looks more expensive, and it’s definitely less set in stone. However, people who engage are more likely to buy, at least in the short term. Plus, effective influencers start at around 2% engagement. To get 1,000 individual engagements at this rate, they’d need to have 50,000 total subscribers. Do the math, and you’ll see it can actually be cheaper to go this route for fashion influencers, beauty influencers, and travel influencers, and other people in their own respective fields of expertise.

Don’t forget industry

Just like everything else in our free market economy, supply and demand is a major driver of pricing. For instance, if your brand is a B2B company that sells farm machinery, there won’t be a lot of influencers available. While there are a lot of farmers out there, not many have the time to become a social media influencer. Plus, farm machinery is something that farmers purchase relatively rarely, and when they do, it’s a major expense. With any kind of technical sales, expect to pay a bit more than the base rate. It doesn’t make sense to settle for someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

However, beauty is a category where everyone wants to break in. Makeup, hair, and skincare are a lot of fun for many people, and highly profitable for companies. Given all those glossy magazines and glitzy events, everyone wants to look their best. It’s no wonder that people want to pitch beauty products, and with competition comes lower prices. A fashion blogger can be a great influencer to engage on their social media channel, as fashion and beauty frequently intertwine and you can pull from a larger range of influencers.

Other considerations

While an influencer campaign usually is just a post or a Story, there are other times when the overall relationship is more complicated. In these cases, it can cost significantly more money to engage the influencer. Here are some examples of “extras” that cost:

Exclusivity

Especially if you are trying to work with an influencer in highly competitive industries, you might try to edge out the competition more thoroughly. In this case, it might be advantageous to come up with an exclusivity contract with them. Here, you’re asking the influencer not to work with your competitors for the endorsed product. As you can imagine, this is going to cost you more money because you’re asking them to give up streams of income in other places.

Cross Promotion

This one might mean a few different things. For instance, you might pay for the right to post that Instagram photo in other places, such as your website or a traditional ad campaign. Doing this kind of deal costs more, because you are paying for exposure in more than one forum from their creative work. Expect to pay even more if the influencer has a large following offline.

Overall Reputation

This almost goes without saying, but not every Instagram influencer is famous only on Instagram or even only on social media. While you might be thinking mainly of celebrities here, it is also true of subject matter experts in various industries. For instance, well-known athletes will do endorsements. Scientists might help promote laboratory equipment, which can not only be sold to big businesses but also to the local high school science lab. Any time an offline reputation is significant, expect to pay more–and expect to see more significant results for major brands and small companies, both.

Final Words on How Much Instagram Influencers Make

While there are definitely stars in the influencer marketing industry, the majority of these people will need some other kind of job.

In addition to content creation, there’s engaging with followers, trying out products, and negotiating deals. Don’t expect to get rich quick, but those that are successful can look forward to a bright future.

Instagram and influencers go hand-in-hand. 

The Meta-owned social-media platform has become a primary stage for influencers launching their careers. And they don't need millions of followers to earn money on Instagram.

As more brands turn to smaller creators like "nano" or "micro" influencers with under 100,000 followers, establishing a full-time career as a creator is no longer a pipe dream.

But it's not so straightforward to start earning money on Instagram. Unlike YouTube, Instagram doesn't yet have a comparable payment system in place like YouTube's Partner Program. Typically, influencers rely on sponsored content to make a living. From posting a picture to the main feed with #ad to sharing swipe-up links in a series of Stories, sponsored content takes on many different shapes.

Rates for these types of brand deals also vary.

For instance, influencer Alexa Collins — who has over one million followers — charged upwards of $1,000 for a sponsored Story on Instagram when Insider spoke with her. Meanwhile, Tyler Chanel, a micro influencer, told Insider her starting rate is $100 for an Instagram Story. though she charges more based on the content and deliverables.

To land on these rates, some influencers rely on formulas like charging brands $100 for every 10,000 followers. But not everyone agrees on one formula. 

Each deal has to also account for an influencer's following, engagement metrics, and niche, as well as deal terms like exclusivity, usage rights, and timing.

But if influencers negotiate well, brand deals can lead to big paychecks. For instance, one influencer with 275,000 followers told Insider she had booked $700,000 in brand deals in six months. And two micro influencers told Insider they earned six-figure salaries as full-time creators in 2021.

Sponsored content, however, isn't the only income generator for these influencers — although it is generally the most lucrative.

Influencers on Instagram can also earn commissions on affiliate links, profits from selling merchandise, and proceeds from monetization tools the platform is slowly rolling out. One influencer who spoke with Insider made an average of $5,000 per month through affiliate links alone. Others are earning thousands of dollars from Instagram Reels Bonus Program.

Insider has spoken with nearly two dozen Instagram influencers about how much money they charge brands for sponsored content and how else they make a living using the app. 

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of Insider's Instagram money log series:

How Instagram influencers earn money beyond brand deals

From earning a commission through affiliate links to getting tipped by followers on an Instagram Live, there's a host of supplementary sources of income for creators on Instagram.  

How much money do influencers make by promoting links or selling their own products?

Affiliate marketing

Influencers use platforms like LTK and ShopStyle to generate affiliate links or discount codes provided by brands to earn a percentage of sales. 

Adding these links just got easier, too. In 2021, Instagram released the ability to add link stickers in Stories to all users — regardless of the follower count or verification status.

The platform also began testing native-to-Instagram affiliate marketing tools for influencers in 2021. Instagram has slowly expanded the test to more creators and has added new features like affiliate shops. It's also expanded affiliate marketing to Reels.

Using Instagram's suite of monetization tools

Facebook, now called Meta, announced in July 2021 that it would invest over $1 billion in creators through 2022. 

Since then, Instagram has announced several new monetization features for creators —  including its own affiliate-marketing tools and subscriptions. And although the platform's ad-revenue share program for ads played on IGTV (which rebranded to "Instagram Video") came to an end in 2022, creators have turned to Reels as a way to earn money.

Instagram has several incentive programs under the umbrella of "Bonuses." These pay creators for using features like Live or Reels and meeting certain goals or challenges.

In December, meme creator Jackson Weimer told Insider that he was paid over $6,000 from his Reels. Meta also added a bonus program and more ways to earn money from Reels on Facebook. These payments are constantly in flux for creators while Meta continues to test the program.

Tejas Hullur, a content creator with 500,000 TikTok followers and about 12,000 on Instagram, described these payments as a "cherry on top."

Creators can also make money on Instagram through "Badges" (a tipping feature) and selling their own merchandise or products in-app.

  • 11 influencers reveal how much money Instagram and Facebook paid them for Reels.
  • Instagram is testing 'Subscriptions' that let creators make money from exclusive content. Here are the details.

  • Instagram is building a suite of money-making tools. Here are 9 features it's testing or rolling out.
  • Ronne Brown, a content creator with over 200,000 followers, earns money through Instagram Badges.

Selling courses, direct-to-consumer products, and merch

Influencers can sell their own products and merchandise directly through Instagram's shopping features, or leverage their audience to promote their own brands, products, coaching services, or online courses.

Some influencers, like Huda Kattan, go on to found brands that are worth millions — or even billions — of dollars.

  • How an astrology creator earned about $64,000 in five months selling courses and coaching sessions.
