How Much Money Does an Instagram Influencer Make?

The newest restaurant you must try.

If you’re on Instagram, odds are you’ve seen at least one of these things. Endorsed by someone you follow. In the past month.

It’s easy to poke fun at your latest acquaintance that’s taken up this endeavour, but that doesn’t stop the tiny voice in your head asking, “Are they getting paid for this?” quickly followed by, “I can hold a bottle of self-tanner and smile too – can I get paid as well?”

These influencers – as society has labeled them – have created a digital empire by snapping a few semi-filtered shots with one hand, while promoting the latest trend with the other. Their credibility comes through an influx of social engagement, which occurs while building an influence that is rewarded with products, money, and sometimes even fame.

We’re putting the numbers to the test to see how financially independent one can really be from a couple thousand likes. And just how realistic that task is to conquer.

It Pays to be Popular 💁

While climbing the influencer ladder, it’s common to get paid more per post if you have a higher follower count. This logic stems from the idea that the more eyes that see the content, the more brands are willing to pay.

But what determines that ✨magic ✨number one must hit before these posts actually become profitable?

< 10,000 Followers

“Micro” influencers have anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 followers. Unlike your popular friend that has acquired this many followers by posting cool stuff, the people behind these handles are vying to grow their page around a specific niche.

According to a recent survey, these accounts can make up to, on average, $88.00 per post. However, most micro-influencers hold off on charging upfront so they can first garner a larger, long-term presence.

Understood as a dedicated hobby, this follower level can get your Instagram handle in the door for future collaborations or sponsored posts, filled with some free perks along the way.

< 100,000 Followers

At this stage in the game,  brands are sending out direct messages to accounts with this amount of followers like clockwork, asking for product endorsement in exchange for freebies: Think designer-labeled clothing, monthly packages catered to health and wellness, or a free meal from the restaurant that wants exposure.

Some occasional money may come in, but most influencers are hesitant to start charging at this stage since it may delegitmize their growing success.

For example, one self-proclaimed "foodstagrammer" currently holds 72,000 followers. While hundreds of likes swarm in for each post, the account is waiting to monetize their work until at least hitting the 100,000 mark – which is the “socially acceptable” marker.  

It’s somewhat of an unspoken rule that influencers can expect to be paid $10.00 for every 1,000 followers they have, once they hit the 100,000 threshold. Charging for posts before hitting this may result in getting paid less, or settling before the account has fully bloomed.

Influencers with 50,000 to 80,000 followers get around $200.00 per post, but the price point changes based on the advertiser. Some accounts make deals with brands to post promotional codes on their feed, and everytime a new person uses their code, they make a percentage of the sale. Other accounts opt into giveaway deals that purely boost their follower count.

Whether these middle-tier accounts are maintaining their presence on the side working vigorously to turn their accounts into a  full-time career, their followings are impressive.

< 1,000,000 Followers

The leap from 100,000 followers to one MILLION followers is quite an undertaking to say the least, coming with no standard manual or rules to follow on what to post and how much to charge.

Accounts of this nature (think 250,000 to 500,000 followers) have hit the jackpot of Instagram influencing, with possible earnings averaging at $670. 00 per post.

But it doesn’t even need to be a picture on their feed that brings in the cash.

Accounts this large have various features that lower-tier handles can’t access yet, such as a verified account (blue check mark) and the Instagram story “swipe up” capability, brands and companies can leverage these features for more effective influencer ad campaigns.

Once an account reaches more than one million followers, the sky’s the limit on what they charge.

Time is Money ⏰💰

But it’s more than just taking aesthetically-pleasing photos and tagging brands. Not only do Instagram influencers need a committed following, they also need these followers to engage with their content.

Many middle-tier influencers are lumped into direct-message groups called pods, filled with 15 other accounts also trying to make it big.

According to the influencer community, people in these groups are sharing their new posts all of the time, with the expectation that everyone else needs to engage with those accounts. Comments should be at least five words and include emojis, because that will help increase engagement.

Participating (or choosing not to participate) in groups like these can have an impact on how much one can make from their account.

Curious if your account has what it takes to start? Check for yourself here.

TL;DR

1)    Quitting your day job to live off of an Instagram-influencer salary is easier said than done, since accounts need to garner thousands of followers before they can even start to see a monetary profit.

2)    Instagram influencers with under 10,000 followers can make, on average, $88.00 per post. Those with under 100,000 followers average $200.00 per post, but these numbers often vary account to account. Most accounts in this level are instead, gifted with free products or discounts for posting.

3)    Accounts ranging from 250,000 to 500,000 followers can make a pretty penny posting on their accounts for brands, whether that be in a static picture, GIF-like video or an Instagram story. Once an influencer has reached one million followers, it’s safe to assume they are making quite a decent amount of money, and working very hard to maintain it.

How to make money on Instagram

  1. Collaborate with brands on sponsored posts
  2. Become an affiliate
  3. Open your own ecommerce store
  4. Create an Instagram shop
  5. Sell your photos online
  6. Monetize your content
  7. Sell old stuff

The methods that may work the best for you will depend on your unique brand of Instagram content, your target audience, and your level of commitment.

The beauty here is that chasing one revenue stream doesn’t necessarily rule out another.

So let’s start with the most common approach to Instagram monetization: partnering with brands as an influencer.

1. Collaborate with brands on sponsored content

The term “Instagram influencer” gets thrown around a lot these days.

An influencer is basically anyone who’s built themselves an online reputation by doing and sharing awesome things online. To their audiences, influencers are tastemakers, trendsetters, and trusted experts whose opinions about certain subjects are respected.

Many brands just can’t compete with that, so they partner with influencers on sponsored content like posts, Reels, and Stories that help get the word out about their products.

But it’s not just the follower count and reach of your Instagram account that brands want—it’s your audience’s trust and engagement with high-quality content.

It can be hard to balance your revenue as an influencer and your integrity as a creator, but if you’re not relying on your Instagram marketing income to stay afloat, you always have the freedom to be selective about the brands you work with, just as brands will be selective about the Instagrammers they work with.

How to decide what to charge as an influencer

Typically these influencer deals involve the creation of content—Instagram ads, a post, a video, or a Story—and will sometimes include permission for the brand to use this content on their own site or in an ad.

Most of these deals are negotiable and can involve a single post or an entire campaign in exchange for a fee, a free product, a service, a gift, the promise of exposure, or some combination of these.

Keep in mind when negotiating that you’re not just offering content but access to your audience—a potentially large reach on one of the most popular social media platforms around—and usage rights.

The average influencer who has upward of 100,000 followers charges up to $500 per post, just to give you an idea of what some brands are willing to pay and how to negotiate based on the cards you’re holding.

Finally, it's important as an influencer to also know your own audience.

What is the makeup of your audience, and what is your engagement rate (total engagement divided by your number of followers)? You can dig up numbers to back this up in your Instagram analytics report, if you’ve switched to a business account. This will help you be prepared when it comes time to negotiate.

How to find brands to work with

If you’re big enough, chances are brands will find you. But you can also look for brands to work with that are on a similar level in terms of personality and values, so your audience won’t feel like you’re “selling out.”

You can reach out to them directly to try to work out a deal, but you can also list yourself on one of the many influencer marketplaces out there to increase your chances of being discovered, including:

  • Fohr. Connect your Instagram, blog, YouTube channel, and other social platforms to create an influencer “card” that shows your different profiles and total reach to brands shopping for a partnership. You can also access a list of brands and their wants, so you can take the initiative to reach out too.
  • Crowdtap. Do small content creation tasks to earn rewards. This is great if you’ve got a smaller audience. Available in the US only. 
  • indaHash. Brands post campaigns you can participate in. Post a picture with the specified hashtags on Instagram and get paid. You need at least 700 engaged followers to be eligible.

The rules vary when it comes to sponsored content, but to be on the safe side and respect your audience’s trust, consider adding a #sponsored hashtag to indicate sponsored posts.

You can find examples of sponsored posts and how Instagrammers integrate brands into their story or caption by searching #sponsored on Instagram, like this one from How They Asked, an account that shares wedding proposal stories and partners with a jewelry business:

Instagram also has a “Paid Partnership with” tag that prominently identifies sponsored posts, which some brands might require you to use to disclose your relationship with them.

2. Become an affiliate

Unlike an influencer, an affiliate is more invested in making sales for the partner brand—not just generating awareness—in exchange for a commission.

This is typically done with a trackable link or unique promo code to ensure clicks actually translate into sales. Use a mix of clickable links in your Instagram bio and Instagram Stories or through stickers. Since you can’t put links in Instagram posts, you can create promo codes so you can make money from different angles. 

Consider reaching out to one of the many online merchants offering affiliate programs. Or you can explore popular marketplaces like:

  • ClickBank. An affiliate platform with a tier-based commission that’s open to everyone.
  • LTK. An invitation-only fashion and lifestyle influencer network that offers 20% commissions.
  • Amazon Associates. A popular option that pays out a 10% commission.

Though it sounds like a numbers game, affiliate marketing is also an art, and you’ll have a better chance at success if you have a plan going into it and expand your online presence to include a website and other marketing channels.

Tip: Affiliate links can be long and ugly, so I recommend a URL shortener like Bitly, especially if the links are going in your Instagram bio.

3. Open your own ecommerce store

By now it might sound like the only way for an Instagrammer to make money is to sell out and work with other brands.

But creators of all kinds are in a good position to “sell out” with their own products: physical goods, services, or digital items that can be an extension of their brand, building a business with an audience at its center.

The ability for [content creators] to sell products is just so natural because their abundance of content allows them to have those moments of plugging their products.

Chris Vaccarino, founder of Fanjoy

You need to invest some time upfront, but in today’s world, it’s almost natural for creators to make the leap to entrepreneurship. That’s becoming easier with the growing list of Instagram tools available to build an audience. 

Just look at Loki the Wolfdog, one of the biggest Instagram dog-preneurs of his time.

By selling your own stuff, you don’t need to worry about integrating messages from other brands into your posting strategy. Better yet, you can get your own brand out there on the products you sell.

Fans can show their love and support your work by buying from you—a purchase they can feel good about.

There are a few ways to sell your own merch:

  • You can use a print-on-demand service to print and ship your own t-shirts, pillows, coffee mugs, wall art, and more.
  • You can sell services such as photography or consulting using your bio to direct interested people to a contact email or a link to your professional website.
  • You can sell digital products such as online courses, ebooks, or design templates.
  • You can use your Instagram business account to launch a startup selling your own original products. You can use dropshipping fulfillment so you don’t have to deal with holding inventory or returns.

4. Create an Instagram Shop

The past few years have been huge for ecommerce brands and creators who want to sell on social media. Instagram has released a ton of features under the Instagram Shopping umbrella, which allows people to easily shop your business’ videos and images on the platform. 

Instagram shopping tags are so effective—and over 130 million people are tapping on shopping tags every month—because they allow people to go from product inspiration to product information in just a few taps."

Taylor Loren, in an edited excerpt from the course How to Make Money on Instagram

It all starts with an Instagram shop, a.k.a. your storefront. There, you can share your story and sell products. Instagram provides a sleek experience for shoppers to browse and buy your collections. All you need to set up Instagram Shopping is a Business or Creator account. 

You can customize your shop by creating collections or curated products presented in themes. Common themes include new arrivals, gifts, or seasonal trends. 

Just like your online store, you can also create product description pages in your shop. Here you can include all relevant product information, like pricing and descriptions. You can send people to your website to complete a purchase or let them buy through the app using Instagram checkout. 

It doesn’t stop there. People can also buy your products throughout Instagram via features like:

  • Shoppable posts and Stories. You can use product tags to showcase items from your catalog in videos and images. People simply need to tap to learn more about an item.
  • Shoppable ads. You can also add product tags to ads and extend the reach of your shoppable posts. Setup is simple inside Ads Manager, or you can boost existing Instagram posts in your feed.
  • Instagram Shop tab. Instagram’s shopping tab is a destination for people looking to discover new brands that are relevant to them. This helps you more easily reach new customers on the app.
  • Live shopping. Do you love livestreaming content? Then you’ll find Instagram live shopping helpful for making money. Just go live and tag products from your catalog (or Facebook shop) to feature in your broadcast. The product will show up at the bottom of the screen, where people can tap to purchase instantly.

The best part? Setting up an Instagram shop is free. You’ll only pay a commission if someone purchases through Instagram checkout.

5. Sell your photos online

Someone might get famous on Twitter by telling 140-character jokes, but Instagram is a photo-sharing app at its core. And photos are assets that can be licensed, printed, and sold in a variety of ways.

If photography is what got you into the Instagram game in the first place, you can list your photos in marketplaces like 500px or Twenty20, where brands and publishers might license them.

However, you can also sell your photos as prints and on other physical products using a similar method described in the last section. Services like Printful and Teelaunch let you put your photos on posters, phone cases, pillows, and more, taking care of fulfilling orders and customer service, so all you really need to worry about is making sales.

Take the story of Daniel Arnold, who, according to an interview in Forbes, went from “eating toast three meals a day” to making $15,000 in 24 hours by offering to sell prints of his popular-but-controversial photos. If you've already got the demand, all you need to do is take the initiative and offer your audience the opportunity to buy your photography from you.

6. Monetize your content 

Monetize your videos with ads

Another way for entrepreneurs to make money on Instagram is through in-stream video ads. With these ads, brands can promote themselves within the videos you produce. 

How much you earn depends on the amount of views your video gets, or “Monetizeable Plays,” according to Instagram. You’ll get 55% of ad revenue generated from each view, paid monthly to your bank account.  

Turn on In-stream Video Ads and start earning in three steps:

  1. Go to Account Settings. Tap Creator, then In-Stream Video Ads.
  2. Tap Get Started. Read and agree to the terms and conditions. 
  3. Toggle Allow Monetization on your existing Instagram videos, then tap Continue to finish. 

To earn through In-Stream Video Ads, your content must be original and you need to own the rights to any music. Your video needs to be two minutes or more to monetize. Images, polls, looping videos, slideshows, or text montages don’t qualify.

Live badges

Live badges are a newer feature, helping creators and influencers make money on Instagram. A popular concept taken from Twitch and TikTok, think of Instagram Live badges as tips you can receive during a live broadcast. 

With this feature, viewers can purchase a badge during the livestream that shows in the comments and unlocks features, including a place on the creators’ badge list and access to a special heart.  

People can buy:

  • One heart for $0.99
  • Two hearts for $1.99
  • Three hearts for $4.99

7. Sell old stuff

If you’re not an influencer and just want to make some extra cash, Instagram is a great place to sell old stuff. Whether it’s furniture, clothing, collectors items or even Mason jars, you can make side income selling it on Instagram. Plus, you can declutter your home and help save the environment.

Take Lavender Loveseat, for example. Based in Chicago, the team finds older pieces of furniture, refinishes them, and sells them through Instagram. The brand shares fun, entertaining content on its page to attract buyers and earn sales.

How much do Instagram influencers make?

There are a number of factors that determine how much an Instagram influencer makes. They can earn anywhere from a few dollars to a million dollars per post.  

The amount you make depends on a few factors: 

  1. Number of followers
  2. Engagement rates
  3. Affiliate marketing tactics

The good news? There is room for any size account to make money on Instagram. There are generally five tiers of influencer marketing, broken down by follower count. 

  • Nano-influencer: 1,000–10,000 followers ($10–$100 per post)
  • Micro-influencer: 10,000–50,000 followers ($100–$500 per post)
  • Mid-tier influencer: 50,000–500,000 followers ($500–$5,000 per post)
  • Macro-influencer: 500,000–1 million followers ($5,000–$10,000 per post)
  • Mega-influencer: 1 million+ followers ($10,000–$1 million+ per post)

If you don’t have a lot of followers, don’t get discouraged. Earning your followers’ trust and engaging with them will help your account grow. More than the number of followers, brands look for influencers to work with that have an active following.

So even if you only have 1,000 followers, you can still make some real money. To give you a little inspiration, here are some examples of the top non-celebrity influencers who have made the most of Instagram with their accounts:

  • Lele Pons: 46 million followers
  • Charli D'Amelio: 44.4 million followers
  • Addison Rae: 40.1 million followers
  • Sommer Ray: 26.8 million followers

  • How engaged your followers are (100,000 fake followers won’t amount to much)
  • Which revenue channels you explore

Naturally, the more engaged followers you have, the better. Check out our tips on how to get more followers on Instagram.

How much bloggers earn on YouTube in 2022

1. YouTube Monetization

Making money online is a convenient option for those who are resourceful and want to start monetizing their skills and talents.

Founded some 17 years ago, YouTube has 1 billion hours of views per day, making it the perfect platform to run a video channel and monetize views. But when will YouTube start paying you if you've just started posting videos on the platform? nine0005

As we have already noted, earnings on YouTube depend on the number of views. The question arises: how many views do you need to get to start making money on YouTube? Keep in mind that you will not be paid for viewing the video itself, but for the number of ad views.

Also, please note that the YouTube Partner Program requires you to have at least 1,000 subscribers before you are eligible to monetize your YouTube channel. YouTube does not pay for the number of "likes" on a video. However, “likes” let the YouTube algorithm know that the channel is worth promoting. nine0005

Average CPM bid is the average bid per 1000 ad views. To maximize your ad revenue, you need to build a loyal audience, have high engagement rates, and post videos regularly.

To start making money on YouTube, you must follow the requirements of the YouTube Partner Program. Here is a checklist to help you qualify to make money on YouTube:

When does YouTube start paying per video? YouTube Partner Program Requirements

Starting a YouTube channel is possible right now, but to be successful, it's important to have a clear idea of ​​what your channel is from the very beginning and maintain high quality content.

Successful YouTube bloggers usually start their video with intro , which eventually becomes their calling card. There are many YouTube Intro Templates available online to create a quality intro and give a professional look to your videos. nine0005

A good intro should include your corporate logo, which will make you stand out among thousands of other bloggers. Logos are easy to create with the various logo makers available online.

The easiest way to make money from your YouTube channel is to link it to your AdSense account . However, not all videos can be monetized. Please check that your content complies with YouTube Channel Content Monetization Policy and YouTube Ad Formats. nine0005

2. How do YouTube bloggers get paid?

Once you reach the minimum amount of $100, the amount you earn will be transferred once a month directly to your bank account . In some countries, AdSense issues checks, but in most countries, direct payments to the account are preferred.

The secret to success on the YouTube platform is to create videos that are really interesting to the target audience. Every view, like, and comment lets YouTube's algorithms know that your video is cool and interesting, and as a result, YouTube sends more traffic to your channel. nine0005

Take for example blogger JennaMarbles , she is one of the most popular youtubers. The total number of views of her videos is about 1.7 billion and her net worth is about $8 million.

Let's go for it: in addition to high-quality video content, you also need to optimize your channel from the very beginning so that it ranks high on YouTube and has good visibility. Follow the link to learn how to optimize your YouTube channel and video descriptions. nine0005

Another way to increase the number of views of your video and the channel as a whole and, consequently, income is channel promotion on the Internet . It is definitely worth sharing your videos both on your social media accounts and on your website or blog: the effort will not go in vain and you will increase the number of users who see your video. Don't forget to make a detailed plan for your video marketing campaign. How much you get paid on YouTube will depend entirely on your efforts. nine0005

How to make a YouTube intro

Once you have an active YouTube channel, you will be able to apply to become a YouTube partner . If you are given a partnership, you will have access to a large number of content creation tools and have the opportunity to win prizes based on the number of views on your channel.

You can apply at any time, but in order to get into the highest rated affiliate programs, you must accumulate 15 thousand hours of viewing in the last three months. In this case, YouTube will give you the right to participate in the program even before your application is processed. nine0005

3. How much do YouTubers earn per subscriber?

If you have already thought about how many subscribers you need to get in order to start earning, we inform you that it is not the number of subscribers that matters here, but the number of views.

A large number of subscribers does not directly affect your income on YouTube. The amount you can earn on YouTube depends on the number of views and daily engagement rate.

However, don't underestimate the subscriber factor as they help you grow your channel by commenting and interacting with the videos you post.

In fact, YouTubers who make good money have been able to increase their viewing income thanks to a dedicated community and a large number of subscribers.

Having a large and loyal audience is really important, as a blogger with 10,000 followers is more likely to get 1,000 views than a blogger with 1,000 followers. Now regarding video ads and advertisers: they only pay when users click on the ad, or if they watch the video for at least half a minute. What does it mean? And the fact that if your video gets millions of views, but no one clicks on ads, you will not earn anything. nine0005

We recommend using YouTube Analytics , which provides a variety of reports and metrics to track the success of your video and channel. There you will find various statistics and reports from YouTube, such as traffic sources, watch time and demographics. Metrics can be viewed both on a computer and on a mobile device.

As you can see, YouTube's business model is based on certain factors that affect the amount you can get from this platform. When determining the fork of your YouTube earnings, some of them have a stronger impact. nine0005

To help you get the most out of YouTube and learn more about the factors that affect your earnings, we have compiled a table:

4. How much does YouTube pay?

How much YouTube pays will mainly depend on the number of views of each video. As we have already said, there are many related factors that affect earnings on YouTube (source of traffic, number of subscribers, etc.). However, once you choose your niche wisely and implement the right strategy, YouTube will pay you more than you can imagine. nine0005

According to YouTube Secrets author Sean Cannell, it's possible to make $500 a week on YouTube. If you're a beginner blogger, all you have to do is upload as many videos as you can target your specific niche or target audience, and soon YouTube will start paying you for your efforts!

5. Proven ways to make money on YouTube

YouTube views statistics reports will help you keep track of your income, but it is important to know that YouTube will only pay out if you fully comply with YouTube payment thresholds .

Another way to make money on the YouTube platform is through affiliate or affiliate marketing. While affiliate marketers don't always put in the effort, it's an effective way to earn a decent income.

Most affiliate marketers use static blogs to drive traffic to affiliate links. The advantage of YouTube is that the platform makes it possible to add powerful video channel traffic to the main traffic. This is one of the most popular ways for YouTubers to make money. nine0005

Another interesting way to make money on YouTube is Super Chat and the new YouTube tool, Super Stickers. These features are paid features that allow users to color-code their comments during a YouTube live stream or video premiere. So users can support their favorite YouTubers, and those, in turn, can increase their income. You can learn more about these chips here .
