BADGES TIPS
Sharpen your badges game
Badges follow the same rules as Live
If you’ve mastered making Live videos, you can master badges. If you’re going to turn badges on and need a refresher, visit the Live page.
Involve your supporters
Ask your supporters what they want to see in Stories before you go live. During your Live, you can see who's purchased a badge so you can engage with your supporters.
Let viewers know badges are enabled
Since viewers tune in at different times, remind them that badges are enabled at the beginning, middle and end of your Live video.
Thank your supporters
Remember to thank your supporters with shout outs during your Live, and afterwards, by using the Thank You sticker in Stories.
Share badges goals
Sharing a goal for your Live and pinning it as a comment can help viewers feel more involved in your work and encourage them to purchase badges.
Recognize supporters
Instagram will send you a reminder every time supporters buy badges or you hit a milestone -- consider giving your supporters an individual shout-out if they’ve bought one or more badges, or a collective shout out when you hit a milestone.

How to Use Instagram’s New Monetization Feature
Instagram Live badges are the latest feature aimed at helping influencers and creators to make money on Instagram.
In a nutshell, badges are monetary tips that viewers can contribute during an Instagram Live broadcast.
This opens up a whole host of new opportunities for creators (from influencers to digital service providers, such as fitness instructors) to earn money.
We’re jumping into all the details, as well as how to get access, in this blog post.
What Are Instagram Live Badges?Never heard of badges? They're a new monetization concept on Instagram – and they're about to go mainstream!
Why? Because Instagram has just announced that Badges are being rolled out to all eligible creators in the US.
The concept of “badges” plays off a popular feature within Twitch and TikTok, which allows followers to “tip” a broadcaster during a live stream.
Creator Jon Youshaei recently hosted a live session to demo exactly how the new feature will work:
According to Instagram's press release: “Live has helped creators and businesses stay connected to their followers and bring people together [during the pandemic]. With badges, creators can generate income from the content they’re already creating.”
With the new feature, viewers can purchase a badge during a Live video that will stand out in the comments and unlock additional features, including placement on a creator’s list of badge holders and access to a special heart.
It’s a way for followers to show their support – while also becoming "VIP" community member.
PSA: Later is the world's favorite Instagram marketing platform. Join Later today (for free!) and plan, schedule, and automatically publish your posts from one easy-to-use dashboard, available on desktop and mobile.
Badges are available in 3 different levels, based on the number of hearts available to purchase.
Viewers can buy one heart for $0.99, two for $1.99, or 3 for $4.99.
Creators can see how many hearts a viewer has purchased thanks to a visual icon in the chat stream, making it easy to give them a shout out during the live broadcast.
This new revenue stream could make a real difference to how creators earn from their platform. In the future, every Instagram Live they host as the opportunity to make them money.

How to Get Instagram Live Badges for Your Profile:The good news is that badges are now coming to all eligible US-based creators. The bad news is that it’s still unconfirmed when the rest of the world will gain access – but Instagram's Creator's site states that it will be available in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan, Australia, Turkey, Brazil and Mexico soon.
Who Is Eligible for Instagram Live Badges?
To be eligible for Instagram Live Badges, creators must:
Have a professional account (creator or business)
Be 18+ years old
Comply with Instagram's Partner Monetisation Policies and Community Guidelines.
Be in a region with access to the feature
Have 10K+ followers
How to Turn On Badges on Instagram
Once your region has access, you can turn on badges and start earning from your live videos. Here's how:
Step 1: Go to "Profile," then "Professional dashboard," tap "Grow your business," then select "Badges."
Step 2: Once you've been onboarded, head to the Live tab on stories. Tap the "badges" icon on the left side of your "Going live" screen. Confirm that you want badges turned on, add a title, and go live.
It's that simple!
Instagram Live badges are a huge new monetization opportunity for creators on the platform – and a great opportunity to get creative.

What are Instagram badges and how to use them?
When you think of name tags, you might think of those oversized and embarrassing things you wear to your high school reunion. Instagram name tags are much better since you can customize them.

Conclusion
Instagram name tags can be personalized, add your face to them, and make it easier for others to follow you. Keep reading to learn about the different ways to create and customize name tags on Instagram.
What are Instagram tags?
Instagram name tags are images you can create to make it easier for others to follow you.
You won't need to enter anything to follow another account.
You don't need to create a name tag because you already have one. To find your name tag, tap the profile tab and tap the hamburger icon in the top right corner.
Select the Nametag option (it will be the first one in the list) and your nametag will automatically appear. Since this will be the first time you access your name tag, Instagram will walk you through the various tags you can use.
How to use name tags on Instagram
If you followed the steps above, you are currently viewing your Instagram badge. Now what? The label is what you are going to show your friends and future followers so they can follow your posts. Share your badge with everyone by clicking on the share icon in the top right corner.
What if you want to follow someone else? There are several ways to scan someone else's name tag. To get started, you can click on the "Scan badge" option right below your badge.
After selecting the option, simply use your camera phone to scan the name tag. You will see the option to view the profile. You can then decide if you want to subscribe to an account.
You can also scan a name tag saved in your device's gallery. Just click on the image icon in the top right corner.
Alternatively, you can scan a name tag by clicking on the Search tab and then selecting the name tag option in the top right corner.
Another way to scan a name tag is to swipe right to access the camera by pointing the camera at the name tag and then long press on the screen.
How to personalize your Instagram badge
Now that you've found your Instagram badge and know how to use it, it's time to personalize it. You can change the color of your name tag, add emoji, or add a selfie. To change the color or emoji of your name tag, select the option you want to change by checking the radio button at the top when it changes from color to emoji to selfie.
Tap anywhere on the screen to change any of these options.
As for the colors, it will keep changing until you stop pressing the screen. Similarly, touch the screen and swipe until you find the emoji you want to add.
For a selfie tag with a name, keep tapping until you get the design you want. For a design that will surround your selfie, you can choose between a unicorn, various glasses, hearts, and a mustache.
Conclusion
Obviously, Instagram copied this feature from Snapchat, but there are no complaints here. This is a great feature and hopefully it's the start of some great new features. Are you happy with Instagram tags? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
