Can you make money on Instagram?

Hell yeah. In fact, helping creators make a living on the platform is a top priority for Instagram, especially as competition heats up from TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.

“Our goal is to be the best platform for creators like you to make a living,” said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company’s first-ever Creator Week in June 2021.

In 2021, Instagram was the second-most downloaded app in the world. It’s the 7th most-visited website globally, the 4th most-used social media platform, and has 1.22 billion users every month. All of which is to say: that’s a massive potential audience. With an enormous and diverse pool of people who could potentially be exposed to your content, there are plenty of opportunities to earn money.

How much money can you make on Instagram?

Numbers are tricky, because creators and brands are notoriously private about how much money they’re making. On top of that, calculating income from Instagram is complicated—if you sing a song on a Reel, the sound goes viral and you get a record deal from that internet fame, then tens of thousands of people buy tickets to your concert, does that count as making money on Instagram? What if you post food videos, then provide a link to your recipe blog, and host ads on your blog that make you money?

It sounds bizarre, but that’s the way most successful creators’ journeys go. How much money you can make on Instagram depends on your credentials, audience size, engagement, strategy, hustle, and a dash of dumb luck.

Here’s how much some creators and celebs have reportedly cashed in:

$901: The average amount of money an Instagram influencer with 1,000 to 10,000 followers can make per post, according to Business Insider

$100 to $1,500: How much a creator can be paid for a swipe-up advertisement on their Instagram stories according to Brian Hanly, CEO of Bullish Studio (a talent agency for influencers)

$983,100: The amount Kylie Jenner reportedly makes per ad or sponsored content post

$1,604,000: The amount Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly makes per post

In 2021, Hype Auditor surveyed almost 2 thousand influencers (most based in the U.S.) about how much money they make. Here’s what they found:

  • The average influencer makes $2,970 per month. “Average” numbers aren’t the best to go by, since there’s so much differentiation between the highs and lows—as is referenced in the next stat!
  • Micro-influencers (accounts with one thousand to ten thousand followers earn on average $1,420 per month, and mega-influencers (accounts with over one million followers) earn about $15,356 per month.

Top 5 Instagram Earners in 2022

Obviously, celebrities have a leg up in notoriety, and when they sign up for Instagram they automatically get thousands of followers. Although that is not the same for all of us, it’s inspiring to see just how much someone can make through being an influencer on a social media platform. Here are the top 5 earners on Instagram today:

  1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 475 million followers with an estimated average price per post of $1,604,000

  5. Selena Gomez – 341 million followers with an estimated average price per post of $1,468,000

How to make money on Instagram as a business

Being present, active, and engaging on Instagram (and keeping up with trends) is one of the best ways to find business success on the platform in 2022. Here’s how to do it.

1. Promote special offers

The online audience is a sucker for a good deal (and Instagram users love to buy stuff: 44% of Instagrammers say they use the app to shop weekly).

Use Instagram to showcase all the great things about your company—specifically, anytime you’re having a sale. Not only does posting your sale, promo code, or special offer on Instagram advertise a sale to your followers, but it also makes the information easily shareable.

This holiday sale post from clothing brand @smashtess has lots of comments that are just people tagging their friends. It’s an awesome way to promote the sale and also have the sale shared organically.

2. Set up countdowns to new launches

You can use Instagram to give your followers a sneak peek of new releases, launches, or product lines—and using the “Countdown” or “Reminder” functions, you can provide potential customers with a simple way to flag when those new products will be available for sale. This creates some hype around your offer, and once the release happens, users get a notification reminding them to check out the goods (and, hopefully, check out the goods).

3. Set up an Instagram Shop

Instagram Shops are a direct method of making money off of the app. Users can buy products using the platform’s native e-commerce tools, and it’s easy to set up a shop.

Instagram shops are an impulse buyer’s best friend (or worst nightmare, depending on how you look at it). Your shoppable products or services will show up in your followers’ news feeds, along with regular posts.

Hosting an Instagram shop is also a great way to provide quick customer service to folks who use social media (basically everyone—75% of the global population over the age of 13). Customers can DM you or comment on posts to learn more about your brand. (Hint: if you’re feeling overwhelmed in your DMs, consider using a chatbot to support your customer service team.)

When you post something with a buyable item, the little shop icon will appear on the post, letting viewers know that it’s available for purchase.

Home goods store @the.modern.shop uses shoppable tags in many of their posts.

4. Schedule shoppable Instagram posts with Hootsuite

You can create and schedule or auto-publish shoppable Instagram photos, videos, and carousel posts alongside all your other social media content using Hootsuite.

To tag a product in an Instagram post in Hootsuite, follow these steps:

1. Open your Hootsuite dashboard and go to Composer.

2. Under Publish to, select an Instagram Business profile.

3. Upload your media (up to 10 images or videos) and type out your caption.

4. In the preview on the right, select Tag products. The tagging process is slightly different for videos and images:

  • Images: Select a spot in the image, and then search for and select an item in your product catalog. Repeat for up to 5 tags in the same image. Select Done when you’re finished tagging.
  • Videos: A catalog search appears right away. Search for and select all the products you want to tag in the video.

5. Select Post now or Schedule for later. If you decide to schedule your post, you will see suggestions for the best times to publish your content for maximum engagement.

And that’s it! Your shoppable post will show up in the Hootsuite Planner, alongside all of your other scheduled content.

You can also boost your existing shoppable posts directly from Hootsuite to help more people discover your products.

Note: You’ll need an Instagram Business account and an Instagram shop to take advantage of product tagging in Hootsuite.

Set up a chatbot

An easy way to provide excellent customer service and make sales through direct messages is to set up an Instagram chatbot. A chatbot is integrated directly into your Instagram account and website and can answer any frequently asked questions from your followers. If the question is too complicated for the conversational AI chatbot, then it will automatically pass the inquiry to a real live member of your team.

And how can a chatbot help you earn on Instagram? Simple!

An Instagram chatbot can recommend products in your shop, directly to your customers within the chat, leading to faster and more streamlined sales.

If a customer inquires about what color foundation you have in stock, the chatbot can serve up three different options that the user can quickly add to their cart without ever leaving the platform.

6. Partner with creators

Influencer marketing allows you to share your company with the creator’s audience (and the creator also gets a spotlight for your audience—it’s a win-win).

When you’re researching folks to collaborate with, make sure you pay attention to their content and values: you want to pick someone who has goals that align with your own, so the partnership makes sense to customers and doesn’t seem like some oddball marketing scheme.

For example, it makes sense for a plant-based bakery to partner with a vegan influencer (more sense than Bill Nye partnering with Coca-Cola, that’s for sure).

Try to collaborate with creators who would be likely to try and/or like your products, anyway—for example, dancer @maddieziegler has long had a partnership with activewear brand @fabletics. You can offer the creator money, goods, or an affiliate deal (more info on that in the “Join an affiliate program” section of this post, just above!) in exchange for posting about your company.

7.

Partner with other businesses

Like partnering with creators, partnerships with other businesses give folks on both sides of the deal an opportunity to interact with a wider consumer base. Try contacting other businesses like yours and hosting a contest or giveaway—it’s an excellent way to gain followers and tap into a new audience.

This giveaway from @chosenfoods and @barebonesbroth requires entrants to like and save the post, follow both companies, and tag a friend in the comments. Both brands are building their audience—followers just waiting to be converted into consumers.

8. Straight-up advertise

Hey, the basics still work. Advertising on Instagram is one of the ways you can make money on the platform and actually track your progress. You can turn any post into an ad by boosting it, and your Instagram analytics will tell you how much of a difference the boost made.

How to make money on Instagram as a creator

Even if you don’t have a “business” in the conventional sense, there are lots of ways you can use Instagram to make money as an individual. With a solid following and clear niche, you have influence—and can be an influencer.

1. Partner with brands

Partnering with brands is likely the most well-known way that creators can make money on Instagram. Find a small or big brand that aligns with your values (that part is important—partnering with a brand that has nothing to do with your regular content, or even directly contradicts your regular content, will make you seem inauthentic).

Partnerships with brands can take many forms: you might be paid to make an Instagram post that features a specific product or be offered free products in exchange for content. To get started, try making a few posts that feature some of your favorite things—restaurants, skincare, whatever feels true to you—for free. You can then point to those posts as examples when you’re reaching out to brands.

Lots of makeup and beauty influencers participate in these kinds of brand deals. Here’s an example of a paid partnership post from creator @mexicanbutjapanese for Nordstrom.

Hint: when you’re participating in a paid partnership or sponsored post, be transparent. Use hashtags, mark the post as sponsored, and be clear about the partnership in your captions. Not following Instagram’s branded content guidelines can result in posts being removed—plus, it’s sketchy.

2. Join an affiliate program

This is related to brand partnerships, as joining an affiliate program still requires you to connect yourself to a business that sells specific products or experiences. Affiliate programs essentially pay you to market other people’s products (so again, you want to make sure that the products you’re highlighting align with your values). If your followers buy something from the brand through you—usually using a specific link or discount code—you get paid.

This nail artist is an affiliate marketer for a nail polish brand—when followers use her discount code to buy the nail polish, the creator makes money.

3. Enable Live Badges

For creators in the U.S., Instagram’s Live Badges is a method of making money directly through the app. During a live video, viewers can purchase the badges (which cost between $0.99 and $4.99) to show their support.

To turn on Live Badges, go to your Profile and tap Professional Dashboard. Then, enable Instagram monetization. Once you’ve been approved, you’ll see a button called Set Up Badges. Tap that, and you’re good to go!

Source: Instagram

If you’ve enabled Live Badges, make sure to mention it when you go live (remind your followers that if they’d like to show their support with money, it’s easy to do so!) and express gratitude when someone purchases a badge. Saying thank you goes a long way, and will likely encourage other people to pitch in.

4. Sell your merch

Using Instagram as a marketing tool for your other revenue streams is a great strategy for moneymaking. If you’ve curated your personal brand enough to have a certain look, logo, catchphrase, or anything else that’s recognizably you, consider selling merch that’s splashed with that extra sparkle (you’re brand). You can make money from sales—plus score some free advertising when your followers start walking around with your name on their sweatpants.

5. Link to your blog or vlog

Selling advertising space on your own website—or making money from Youtube—can be super lucrative, and you can use Instagram to direct your followers to that external site (hint: use a link tree to make the most of that link in your Instagram bio).

Here are some quick examples:

  • Foodies who post pictures of food they’ve made and also have a blog where they post full recipes
  • YouTubers who post highlights of their vlog on Reels, then provide a link to their Youtube channel for the full video
  • Fashion influencers who post their outfits on Instagram and link to their website, where they share where the clothes came from
  • Outdoor adventurers who post gorgeous landscapes and link to their blog where they detail the best road trip routes

Food blogger @tiffy.cooks posts videos of her making food on her blog, and links to in-depth recipes in her bio. The recipes live on her blog, which also hosts posts that contain affiliate links.

6. Offer paid tutorials or masterclasses

This is similar to linking to a blog or vlog, but instead of making income indirectly (through businesses advertising on your page or Youtube ads), your followers are directly paying you for a service you’re providing.

If you have a particular area of expertise, you could offer an online masterclass that requires a paid ticket. This method of moneymaking is common for fitness influencers, who may post short workouts for free and then link to a full training routine that you need to pay to access.

Film colorist @theqazman offers quick tips on Instagram, but also hosts ticketed masterclasses. This way, his content still appeals to a wide (non-paying) audience, but folks who are serious about learning the ropes will pay him for a full lesson.

You can also offer tutorials or masterclasses for free and simply ask followers to tip you if they have the means—that’s the method athlete @iamlshauntay uses. Her link in bio directs followers to ways they can pay her for her work if they’re able to. This is a good technique to use if you’re looking for maximum accessibility: there’s no financial barrier to your content, but there’s still a clear way for your audience to pay you if they want to.

This is exactly how I make money on Instagram

Instagram has been the most important part of my income for a couple of years now as an entrepreneur and a blogger. I joined Instagram several years ago and have managed to gain over 25,000 followers on my account @veerabianca. Still a few years ago it was easier to grow an account and mine used to grow with over 100 followers a day organically. These days growing a larger Instagram account fast with quality content takes a bit more of an effort, but more on that topic later.

So how on earth do I make a living from Instagram? I’ve even heard a rumor that I would make money directly from the app paying me for every post, which is absolutely incorrect. So let me explain exactly how and how much money I make from Instagram.

1.Sponsored campaigns with tourism boards

As a travel blogger, most of my work is related to tourism businesses, such as destinations, hotels, and airlines. There are usually two types of trips; press trips where the inviting party covers all costs but do not pay a fee for content, giving you the freedom to cover the destination exactly how you want and post nothing or ten posts a day. But all parties benefit more from a well-planned campaign where the brand and the blogger both agree on the amount of content and the themes of content to be created (but do note that opinions can’t be bought).

Usually, Instagram posts are an important part of a sponsored campaign, where depending on the number of posts I charge anything between 100-500 euros per post.

2. Sponsored posts

At times companies only want to purchase 1 or 2 posts on your Instagram to market their product. Most of these on my account have been accessories and watches. It’s important that the influencer has the freedom to create the post in their own style and to only post about it if they honestly like the product. When I work with a watch brand, for example, the company needs to sponsor me their product and deliver it to my home and pay a fee of around 300 euros for the post on my account.

3. Brand ambassadorships with clothing brands

While I still focus on travel, I’ve tried to add more lifestyle and more of myself into my photos in the past year. This has led to followers asking me about my outfits, which has made me realise that Instagram might just be the absolute best platform for clothing brands to market their products. I used to think marketing fashion was only for Victoria’s Secret model size bloggers out there, but luckily realised my place in the market is to promote fabulous plus size fashion to my fellow curvy travellers. Clothing brands such as Forever 21 Plus work a lot with influencers and I’ve realised I make most of my shopping decisions based on what I see bloggers wearing on Instagram. Often these collaborations can be yearly contracts where you get delivered new collections each season and agree to post about them, for example, twice a week tagging the brand in your outfit photo. Some also pay according to purchases made through your account, which can be tracked through sales codes, such as ‘veerabianca10’ to get -10% off at some named online store.  

4. Instagram marketing consulting for companies

Most of my income through Instagram actually doesn’t come directly from my own account, but from helping companies succeed with Instagram marketing. So on the side of this blog, I consult companies on how to get more out of their Instagram and also work with some companies on monthly contracts creating their content and maintaining their Instagram presence. From this, I make anything between 500-2000 euros per month.

5. Instagram training and lectures for companies and schools

On top of this all, I also do lectures and workshops for companies and schools. I’ve also done a few larger workshops and strategies for hotel chains hosting their staff with a half-day workshop on how to take photos, how to use hashtags and all of the jizzle related. These projects vary massively, so I make anything between 500-10,000 euros a month from Instagram workshops and lectures.

If you need any help with running your brands Instagram account, perhaps I can help: [email protected]

So, to sum it up, my income from Instagram varies each month depending on projects. Currently, I make about 2000 euros from Instagram related work per month.

So you want to make money from your Instagram account too? 

The most important rule of any business is to not spend your day sitting at home waiting to be contacted. Sure when you’ve built enough networks and presence, companies start to approach you with good offers. But if you believe you have an Instagram account worth doing business around, don’t hesitate to contact companies yourself. You’ll easily spot brands that work with influencers from influencers you already follow – why not reach out to them with a direct message right away?

As Instagram has become such an important marketplace, there are also a lot of companies helping Instagram influencers find suitable clients. You can sign up for services such as Whalar to get more sponsored posts and campaigns for your account.

How to make money on Instagram? Top 6 how to make money on Instagram

Instagram is a very interesting and perhaps the most promising marketing tool of its generation. An ideal tool for making money if you are patient and apply the right entrepreneurial techniques. This article answers the question - how to make money on Instagram today.

To do this, simply create an Instagram business account and manage it adequately, for example, post quality content. Thus, you can connect with professional websites and brands of your choice. In exchange for a reward, you will create the content they are looking for. nine0003

Instagram is primarily a social network dedicated to photography. They are mostly popular people who see it as an opportunity to create direct connections with their fans. And if this social network is great at promoting content, it's also a great way for them to generate income. I recommend these tips to make the most money through Instagram.

1. Create an Instagram business account

An attractive Instagram business account is mainly based on the quality of its content, it is the only way to increase the number of followers. To do this, you must proceed step by step. nine0003

First name and format your profile correctly. Indeed, once your Instagram profile becomes famous, the followers will refer to the name you have chosen as a user. That's why the name should be easy to pronounce, memorable and unique. First of all, it should represent the content of your Instagram business account. If you are an artist, your username must be trusted by other users of the social network.

Then add the correct information to your Instagram profile description. Your email, your social media usernames related to your activities, your website link, your resume, your PayPal account, everything must be up to date. Also, unlike your personal pages on other social networks, your business Instagram account should follow a well-defined theme depending on the nature of your business. nine0003 how to make money on instagram for a beginner

In addition to making your account interesting for visitors, the description of its content must be carefully thought out. For example, work on the design of your photos using the filters offered by the site, as well as other editing options.

I also recommend posting content multiple times a day. Therefore, this implies that your account must always remain active on Instagram. Don't forget to read comments using comments or reviews to improve your profile content according to the wishes and requirements of your Instagram followers. nine0003

And finally, the content must be diverse, in other words, you must change the content on other social networks with a link to your Instagram.

2. How to make money on Instagram if you don't have followers?

No way! You need Instagram followers to make money! To collaborate with brands, you need to have at least 5,000 followers on your Instagram account. In doing so, you must use the correct hashtags.

To reach certain categories of people, that is, the target audience, do not forget to highlight the hashtags they use. Hashtags should match text that matches your photo. Also, likes and comments on photos of other users allow you to attract new subscribers and gain visibility on the social network. Your best bet is to comment and like the photos of the users you want to make your followers on Instagram. nine0003

In addition, attracting subscribers should be made as easy as possible by offering to react or asking them for their opinion on your content. If your queries are attractive enough, your chance of gaining new subscribers is very high. The best way to capture the attention of visitors is to ask them questions, their answer will make them interested in your content.

Finally, I strongly recommend that you ignore your subscribers' outrage or complaints. It would be more reasonable to consider possible comments in order to satisfy them. nine0003

3. How to make money on Instagram with the help of an affiliate program?

The affiliate program is the easiest way to monetize your Instagram account. The idea is simple, you are going to promote a brand product or service. Instead of offering you a fixed price in exchange for an advertising post, the reward will be based on the results obtained. This method is very common in blogs that feature products and services.

Through your affiliate link you will earn money every time someone buys a product from your partner. You can work with Amazon, Aliexpress and other large platforms for goods and services. But I recommend linking your work with the Admitad affiliate program, which brings together thousands of stores and services in one of your affiliate accounts. Admitad is the first and largest affiliate program. Most stores and services simply do not have their own affiliate program on their website, but work through Admitad! nine0003

I have tried many affiliate programs and always come back to Admitad, because only he is the only one on the Internet who has brought me money. There are many informational sites where thousands of affiliate programs are described. My opinion is that these sites are just a garbage dump and scams that generate traffic for themselves from beginners in online commerce! I tried everything and lost not just some time, but years! A working formula - how to make money on Instagram - is thousands of subscribers, and preferably millions 🙂 and an affiliate program that really pays! nine0003

Affiliate connects advertisers who want to be known at any cost and publishers who want to monetize Instagram or their website.

4. How to make money on advertising posts on Instagram?

Sponsored posts from promoted accounts are becoming an increasingly common form of earning money on Instagram. They come in several forms, namely: presentation of a photo of a trivial product, creation or partnership with a brand.

how to make money on Instagram 2021

To make money on Instagram, some Instagrammers may partner with companies and then post sponsored content. Since 2017, Instagram has installed a new feature to ensure transparency of the promotional nature of a popular social media user's post. She informs about the commercial relationship that the promoted account has with the brand, since it is illegal not to mention that the content is sponsored.

Whether it's a photo or a video, an appropriate publication guarantees the promotion of a product or a brand. And this post contains links, hashtags or mentions for the purpose of allowing subscribers to interact with the post. This is how a brand can express itself. And if the campaigns are effective in allowing advertisers to increase their turnover, then popular Instagram business accounts can be contacted on a regular basis. nine0003

How much can you earn on Instagram?

Your earnings obviously depend on the popularity of your Instagram account. Already 1000 subscribers can already bring up to $100 per month. Of course, it all depends primarily on the subject of your page on Instagram. Business themes will attract few people, but with money. Therefore, advertising posts will cost more than advertising posts of any clothing. From this, the income from 1000 followers on Instagram will be the corresponding $100 and $2 per month. nine0003

5. How to make money on Instagram on your product and services?

Whatever your topic, beauty, nutrition, bodybuilding, Instagram will give you some exposure among internet users interested in your topic. So do not miss this opportunity to sell your products and services.

Many options are available for this for those who wish to sell their products to their subscribers.

  • Amazon Handmade: Amazon charges a 12% commission on sales. This is one of the largest markets in the world. nine0062
  • Etsy: This is a website that specializes in handmade creations. It has more competitive prices than Amazon Handmade.
  • Shopify: allows you to quickly create your own online storefront.

Create a blog linked to your Instagram business account.

6. Sell photos on Instagram

Make money on photos on Instagram, it's possible, just sell them. Indeed, this allows your photography to benefit from visibility without precedent, especially if you have a serious following. Whether you are an amateur or a professional photographer, you can earn quite a bit of money with your own photos. What's more, posting photos regularly improves your photographic skills. The mastery of lighting, retouching and depth of field increases over time, even if that means more and more quality images need to be created and posted. nine0003 earnings on instagram in pictures

The best way is to insert a watermark on the photo and indicate in the description an affiliate link from Admitad, through which sales could be generated. In addition, some agencies may be interested in your proposal to, for example, use one of your photographs or work to decorate an article or page. Another possibility may arise when responding to requests from your followers who want to order personalized photos. The perfect way to get them to pay money for photos is to upload photos to photo stocks and sell them there by promoting them on Instagram. nine0003

  • Fotolia: this site offers 33% of the amount generated by the sale of your photographs;
  • ShutterStock: It will allow you to earn between $0.25 and $1.88 per sale.

The advantage of this sales method is that you don't need a large audience to find potential buyers. You can benefit from the visibility offered by these different platforms. However, I recommend that you always save the original version of your photos to your computer. nine0003

One last thing to add, selling your own Instagram account is also an option. But this is another story that requires a separate topic for promoting your Instagram account.

How many active subscribers should I have?

Instagram logo

The first question that worries all users of the site: how many subscribers do you need for a stable income and where to get them?

The main emphasis in calculating the number of subscribers for earnings is not on their quantity, but on quality, rather than having a hundred thousand inactive followers, 1,000 active subscribers are better. On Instagram, users are showing increased commercial activity. nine0003

Compared to other platforms, Instagram is designed and simplified to promote any ideas. This is due to the low level of competition, unobtrusive advertising, etc.

Effective methods of making money on Instagram

Making money on Instagram is a prestigious occupation that many active users strive to master. It is very convenient to establish passive types of income in this social network. This does not require investing, it is enough to lead an active life, share important moments with others. The user uploads interesting short videos, personal successful photos using hashtags. Interested subscribers will be added, for which the blog author will receive a certain fee. nine0003

Option #1: blogging

Are you an expert in any field? Do you want to share valuable information with a wide audience? Then you should be guided by the following rules for creating a successful diary:

Blogging

  • Highlight the pictures that deserve the most likes
  • Choose what is in good demand among subscribers
  • Plan your blog and choose the right target audience
  • Post high-resolution photos so that all the details are clearly visible
  • Process photos with the same filters, so your photos will be recognized by a wide range of users
