Instagram is a force of nature.

What was merely a photo-sharing app initially has become one of the top
social media platforms in less than seven years.

The interest in Instagram has grown tremendously over the past six years.
And I highly doubt that it will be slowing down anytime soon.

Let’s get into the thick of things and see how to actually make $200 to
$10,000 (even more) per month from Instagram.

I’ll start with a little quote:

“In order to achieve something, you must know the steps between where
you are now, and where you want to be.

A lot of people have big goals, but unless those goals are broken down into
the required, manageable steps, you will not know the path forward”.

So, in this eBook “Making IG Money”, I’m giving you the exact steps that you
need to make in order to make money with Instagram.
Let’s go!
0 – 500 Followers
These ways will usually work if you have 0 – 500 followers on
Instagram and more.

1. Affiliate Marketing: There are a couple of best affiliate programs


to make money on Instagram:

- Amazon Associates – Amazon Associates is a well-known source


of passive income for bloggers, but Instagram users can leverage
the platform too. Amazon is unique in the sense that you don’t
need to have a website to get started.
Amazon guidelines state that affiliates have at least 500 organic
followers and a public account. Once you’ve signed up, your
account will be approved for 180 days. During that period, you
need to make at least one sale or Amazon will close your
account.

• How much can you earn? Depends. The payouts are averaging
around $3/sale. Kindle unlimited, however, offers $10/sale.

- Rakuten – Rakuten is a Tokyo-based online retailer that allows


affiliates to promote goods from 1000+ merchants.
The process is a lot like Amazon’s. You’ll choose from a ton of
products and can track your progress through a selection of
analytics tools.
How much can you earn? The site doesn’t tell you how much
you can earn. They say, “amount of revenue can vary widely”.
- ClickBank – ClickBank is an affiliate platform that doesn’t offer
much in a way of screening requirements, which makes it easy
for anyone to sign up as a publisher.
ClickBank works a bit differently than the other options on this
list. For one, the platform is used for digital products only, not
physical goods. Before starting with ClickBank, you need to
figure out what product will best fit your page, or around which
product you want to build your page.
How much can you earn? One of the biggest benefits is that
ClickBank offers some pretty high commissions. In some
cases, up to 50-75 percent.

Executive Mafia (EXM) – EXM is my personal favorite. It’s a


network built for Instagram influencers, or just small pages. A
membership in EXM allows you to have a direct access to their
network. Basically, EXM is a huge engagement network/group.
With addition to helping your page grow, they’re offering an
affiliate program.
How much can you earn? Executive Mafia’s payout is up to
%59 (after transaction fees).
Aspiring Instagram affiliates need to understand that there’s far more to
making money on Instagram than hashtagging brands. So, you’ll want to use
a platform that works for your experience and your audience. Rakuten is
more selective about their affiliate publishers than Amazon or ClickBank.
With Instagram, it’s important to strike a balance between authentic content
and product placement. Don’t sign up for a platform that doesn’t work with
brands that you and your audience believe in.

2. Affiliate Marketing: Being an affiliate of courses or services:


I bet that you’ve already seen hundreds, if not thousands of people
offering their courses on Instagram.

Whenever you see that someone is offering a course, probably, at


least 70% of them have an affiliate program. If you can’t find the
affiliate program, you can always DM them and ask.
Also, the same goes to people and pages who are offering many
different services. You can DM them and ask if you can be their
affiliate and market their product/service. Most of the times they will
agree.

Difficulty – EASY.
Profit – Depends on the services/products.
3. Designing logo for businesses – One of the easiest ways that you can
make money on Instagram, is by designing Logos for other businesses
and pages on IG. The process is simple:
- Browse Instagram and find pages with no logo or very bad logos.
- Take their names/business names and run them down on logo
generator websites like brandcrowd.com or tailorbrands.com to
create their logos. You’ll have a small watermark on it.
- Approach that particular page, send them that watermarked logo. If
they love it, ask them for a specific amount for the logo.

Difficulty – EASY
Profit – anywhere between $5 - $50 for a logo.

4. Designing and creating content for other pages on Instagram – Here’s


a little ‘formula’ on how you can get IG pages owners to pay you $1000
to create content for them:
- Browse IG and find business pages with around 50k+ followers.
Could be any niche – Entrepreneurship, motivational quotes, travel,
luxury, dating, and so on.
- Send video messages in DM to 15-20 pages every day.
- Present yourself and promote your services.
- Create 1 or 2 pieces of content using the theme of each page
selected, then send it via DM after your video message.
- Also, show your portfolio and the results you got from your previous
contracts.

Difficulty – Medium – Hard. Requires a skill.


Profit – You should be able to at least close 4 clients per month at
$250 = $1000 minimum.
5. Create IG stories highlights covers – Instagram stories highlights covers
are a great way to keep your Instagram profile on-brand and take your
aesthetic to the next level. The thing is, most businesses and pages on IG
don’t realize the true power of those highlights.
What you can do is:
- Find pages with bad or no highlights at all.
- Let them know that you’re designing highlights covers and let them
understand the true potential of it.
- Create 2-3 highlights covers for them (watermark it) and send it to
them.
- Make sure that these covers are elevating their brand aesthetic.
- If they like it, sell them a bundle/group of those highlight covers
(Minimum 5).

Difficulty – Easy (you can use Canva templates).


Profit – anywhere between $10 for a pack, to $30.

6. Manage EXM (Executive Mafia) rounds – So, as I wrote before, EXM is a


network of engagement groups, with more than 600+ users/influencers.
Every engagement round (where users need to drop their username is
participate in a round), takes time. It can take anywhere between 30
minutes to 1 hour. Imagine doing 3 rounds every day. That’s 3 hours every
day spent on engagement rounds.
What you can do, is DM EXM members and offer them management of
those rounds. Which means, they won’t have to do it by themselves, and
even better – they don’t have to pay for it. Because the price of the
membership should be included in your service.

Difficulty – Hard – takes time.


Profit - $60-$200/month per client.
If you’re looking for a rounds manager, contact @doubting on Telegram.
7. Create Telegram groups for free – Creating a Telegram group is easy.
All you have to do, is:
- Go to Telegram.
- Start your own new group.
- Invite a bunch of people to join the group.
- You can find them in other groups on Telegram.
- In your free new group, attach a message where you’re offering
different premium services.
- Such as “Premium Groups”/ “Dropping your links without you having
to do it yourself” and so on.

Difficulty – Easy
Profit – Depends on the premium services that you’re offering.

If you want to get a list of 200+ Telegram engagement groups, that


can help you get more users invited to your own group,

8. Help pages to optimize their bio – Writing a good bio on Instagram can
be tough. And many people don’t know how to use it.

- Go through different Instagram pages and find pages with bad


biographies or without any biography.
- DM them and let them know the importance of having an amazing
IG bio.
- Tell them that you’re a copywriter and you’re writing bio’s for many
business pages, just like theirs.
- Tell them your price and wait for their response.

Difficulty – Easy
Profit – Can be anywhere between $10 - $25 per bio.
9. Design People’s & pages IG stories – Designing IG stories can be super
easy if you want to go simple. But if you’re a big page with many
followers, you’ll want to make your stories look amazing.
- Approach medium – big accounts on Instagram and send them a
video of you presenting yourself and offering them your stories
designs.
- Send them a couple of stories designs that they can use.
- You can send them 2 designs.
- If they like it, make them an offer for more stories designs.

Difficulty – Super easy.


Profit – You can sell stories designs in bulk. For example, if you make
20 designs for a specific page, you can then charge them $1 per story
design.
There are plenty apps to design an Instagram story, like:
- Unfold (Free).
- Storeo (Free).
- Easel (Free).
- Inshot (Free).

10. Make “Turn On Post Notifications” videos for big pages – Let’s say,
that you have a favorite page on Instagram. For example, Gary Vee.
- Go to his page.
- Follow him (If you haven’t already).
- Click on “Following”.
- Go to “Notifications”.
- Now you can choose what kind of a notification you want to get.
- Post notification (New post), or Stories/Live videos notifications.

Now, find big pages on Instagram, send them a DM with a video of


you turning on the post notifications on some other page.
Make sure that this video is well designed and has music (not
necessarily, but it adds to the value). Also, you’ll want to add “Turn
on post notifications” to the video, so that people will know what to
do, and they have a CTA. Then offer them to make the same video
for their page.

Difficulty – Medium
Profit - $20-$50 Per video.
11. Write post captions for people on IG – Writing a well written and well
put caption is difficult. Especially for new pages that just started out on
Instagram. For this “Job” you’ll need two things:
- Make sure that all your Instagram post have long, good written
captions. This is proof.
- Make sure that you have enough time.

Look for new pages on Instagram (0-300 followers), check their posts
to see if their captions are good. Usually, a good caption is:

- Long
- Has line spaces
- Has emojis (not too much)
- Has a CTA (call to action)
- And, is engaging with the audience.

If the page you’re looking at lacks all these in their captions, send
them a DM.
- Let them know the importance of a great caption.
- Tell them how they can get better.
- Offer them the solution: YOU.
- Tell them that you’re a copywriter who writes captions for pages on
Instagram.
- Offer them your service and tell them that you can work with them
for a month. You can give them a 2-day trial.

Difficulty – Medium. Requires a skill.


Profit – You can take $50 (in the beginning) - $200 per month, per
client. 5 Clients - $1000/month.

An example of a well written


Instagram caption post:
(Good captions also
generate engagement).
12. Create Instagram and Facebook ads for businesses – Now, I’m no
expert in FB ads. But I do understand the importance of especially FB
ads.
If you have the knowledge of FB ads, this is a huge opportunity for you to
make big money. Now, you might ask, how does Facebook ads are related
with making money on Instagram?
It’s simple. When it comes to choosing the placement of your ad, you have
multiple options. One of my favorites, is obviously Instagram. You have an
option to choose Instagram feed + Instagram story ads. This is the best
option to promote your page or someone’s else.
What you can do:
- Contact (DM/Email) businesses/pages on Instagram and tell them
about your service. Tell them that you are operating as an agency
and that you’re running ads for clients. Also, tell them how long
you’re doing this.
- If you have client’s results and testimonials, that’s great.
- The best option is to record a video of yourself explaining about your
service and send it to them.
- Another option is Interesting. You can record yourself talking about
your services, introduce yourself and talk to the audience. Make sure
that the video is no longer than 15 seconds.
Then run this video as an ad on IG stories or feed post.

Difficulty – HARD. You’ll need to know how to run ads and how to
get results from those ads.
Profit – In the beginning, you can charge $200 - $500/month to run
ads for a client. If you’re very experienced with FB ads. You can
charge anywhere from $1500-$15000/month to run ads for a client.
Also depends on the client’s budget.
13. Build websites for pages and businesses on Instagram – Building
websites couldn’t be easier than it is now. And yet, there are still plenty
of people and businesses who are yet to have a website.
Now, one way that you can help these businesses, is to build a website for
them. There are plenty of website builders. Website builder, also known
as an online store or ecommerce platform, is an online program that
allows you to create a website with little to no technical experience.
All the hard stuff’s taken care of so all you need to do is focus on
uploading the products and making the website look exactly like you/your
client want it to.

You can approach businesses on Instagram if you see that they don’t have
a website:
- Send them a DM via IG
- Tell them that you’re a website builder.
- Ask them if they have a website
- Offer your services.

Difficulty – Medium (You have website builders (programs), but it


still may take some time to figure it out.
Profit – Starting from $250 per website, can get anywhere up to
$10K.

Some popular and easy website builders:


- Wix
- SquareSpace
- SiteBuilder.com
- WordPress
- Site123
14. Start a PAID engagement group on Telegram or Instagram-
Yes, there are plenty of free engagement groups.
But if you want to make a group that is a little more exclusive and
premium, you can open a new group on Telegram, or a DM group, and
charge for the entrance.
- Find people that are looking or might be interested in an
engagement group. List the benefits of your group and why is it
better than other free groups.
- The benefits can be:
- A small exclusive group
- Only pages with ___ followers are allowed.
- No spam.
- Engaged and small group forms a small community.
- And many more benefits.

Difficulty – Easy.
Profit – Depends on how much you want to charge.
Usually, the prices are anywhere between $5-$15 to enter.

15. Now, my personal favorite that I’m still doing today – Flipping IG
pages –
Flipping pages is seriously one of the best ways to make money with
Instagram, because:
- You can have 0 followers to flip pages.
- IG pages with huge following (10k+) are in a big demand.
- People don’t want to spend time on growing their pages organically,
so they will much prefer buying an already grown account with
monetization opportunity.

There are several website where you can buy and sell those IG
accounts: FameSwap, SocialTradia, Insta-sale, TooFame.

Difficulty – Easy.
Profit – Anywhere between $100-$10k
16.Do dropshipping – You can do dropshipping even when you have 200
followers. It’s better to start while your account is fresh & new.
You can boost your drophipping website sales if you follow these steps:

- Create an IG account for your dropshipping business and fill it with


product posts and entertaining materials. Don’t forget to add CTA,
hashtags, and enticing captions.
- Use IG search to find other niche related accounts with the highest
number of followers and engagement possible.
- Contact the owners/admins through DM/Email, ask if they publish
paid shoutouts and discuss the details.
- Make the payment and provide the materials for the shoutout: A
product image, a link to the product’s page, a short caption and
hashtags. Wait until your shoutout begins.
- Duplicate the post in your webstore’s IG account. Answer comments
and questions about the product and advise where to buy it.
- Watch as your number of followers grows, and the curve of social
traffic rises in Google Analytics. All the results in good conversions.

Not as complicated as you thought, is it?

will come to you. But when you have 1k – 5k, you can reach out to
smaller pages and offer them the shoutouts.

Difficulty – Super easy.

someone who paid you for advertising. Basically, they will give you the

your followers will follow them.

30.Market your Airbnb on Instagram – I’m assuming you’re willing to work


hard and you’re ready to experiment with contemporary business ideas.
Here’s an idea:

living in a place that thrives with tourists.

37.Become an influencer – When you buy a new phone/product/shirt, did
you buy it after you saw it on Amazon? Or did you buy it after it received
good reviews from influencers? Research found that 49% of consumers
were more likely to purchase, if the product was indorsed by a real
individual. So, let’s get started

How to become an IG influencer:


- Pick a niche – The first step in learning how to become an influencer
is choosing a niche. You can’t be popular for everything, so it’s best
to pick one thing that you’re good at.
Once you pick a niche, you’ll have to stick to it. So pick something
that you like and that reflects your true interest and not a niche you
know nothing about.

- Get an IG business account – Step No.2 in learning how to become


an Ig influencer involves getting serious about analytics.
Why do you need IG business account?
An IG business account has a lot of useful tools for Instagram
influencers such as Instagram insights.
Insights let you know the demographic data of your followers. It
allows you to identify followers’ details, like location, gender, age.
And also, audience activity times, profile views and website clicks,
based on a set time period.

An example of IG analytics and insights:


- Write an effective Instagram bio – The third step in learning how to
become an IG influencer is knowing the value of your bio!
The bio is basically the elevator pitch of your entire account. It
introduces your brand to followers who don’t know who you are and
what you do.

- Focus on your Instagram aesthetic – What do top influencers have in


common? An awesome Instagram aesthetic.
Now, how do you create an Instagram aesthetic?
You’ll need to learn how to take great photos. Use a good camera
and watch tutorials online.
Determine the look and feel of your feed. What are your core colors?

- Write captions that reflect your brand’s voice and personality –


How can you engage with your audience?
You don’t just create posts with great photos. You should also add a
bit of personality to your IG captions to make your brand seem
interesting.

- Choose the right hashtags – Hashtags are super important if you


want to increase your following on IG.
Did you know, that posts with hashtags gain 13% more engagement?
This is because hashtags make your posts searchable for a term.
A post should ideally have 5 -30 hashtags.

How do you find the hashtags that you should use?

Type a hashtag related to your post in the search bar. For example, if
you’re posting about cars, try the #cars. You’ll then find suggestions
on Instagram’s search bar.
- Post content often – Finding your optimal posting frequency is
another important factor in learning how to become an IG
influencer. Top brands and influencers post an average of 1.5 times
per day.

- Interact with your followers – Instagram is obviously a social


platform. So, you’ll have to interact with users to amass a good
following. Let’s say, you’re an influencer who loves cars. You can
conduct a search using the #car and find potential followers in the
comments section of the posts.

- Get in touch with brands – As you probably already know, you can
become an IG influencer by working with brands. Once you have
thousands of followers under your belt, you can start reaching out to
brands. You can participate in their campaigns and giveaways, or use
their brand-related hashtags in your posts. This puts your account
under their radar. You can also send them a DM or contact them via
email. Send them a small pitch to let them know how a collaboration
with you could benefit them.

- Become an IG marketing expert – Now, when you start working with


brands that you love, your page is growing and you’re getting brands
to come to you

Difficulty – Hard.
Profit – these are the price ranges, depending on the number of
followers that you have:

(5k – 10k) - $100-$500


(10k-25k)- $500-$800
(25k-50k) - $800 - $1500

38.Sell your artwork – Vogue magazine recently called Instagram the
“World’s Most Talked-About New Art Dealer”. It’s easy to see why.
Here are a couple of notes on how you can sell art on Instagram:
- Make some great art
- Be consistent
- Set up a great profile & learn to photograph & use the editing tools.
- Embrace the IG culture and build your following.
- Engage with your target audience and with your existing followers.
- Use good hashtags, and do your research (DM me @boostingbee if
you need hashtags research).
- Identify the taste makers – Identify the influencers.
- Track your progress (Instagram Insights).
- Try some fan-generated fun – Do giveaways & contests.
- Try a flash sale.

Difficulty – Hard (you need to have the skill).


Profit – Depends on your artwork.

39.Come up with IG strategies for different pages – As you already know,


growing on Instagram is not that easy. And many pages and businesses
are having a hard time with it. What you can do:
- When you get to at least 7k followers, you can start offering
customized, personalized IG growth and monetization strategies.
- Find pages with less than 1k followers.
- DM them or send them an email. Pitch them.
- Tell them about you, tell them how long did it take you to grow your
page, and how you’re growing it right now.
- Offer them a call/meeting where you’ll come up with a personalized
IG growth strategy for them.
- Close them.

Difficulty – Hard
Profit – Call: $50 -$150 per hour. Meeting - $200 - $1000.
40.Grow pages and sell them – At the beginning I told you about flipping
accounts. Flipping account is way faster than just growing it and selling
it.
But, if it takes you let’s say, 2 months to grow a page to 10k followers,
you can then sell it if you’d like, for $250.
Or, you can keep growing it , and in the same time grow 2 more
accounts.
Eventually, you can grow all 3 of these accounts to 50k each, and sell
each of them for $1000. This income is not passive, but as soon as you
get the hang of it, you can always grow accounts and then sell them for a
profit.

Difficulty – Hard.
Profit –
$80 - $150 (2k-5k followers)
$150 - $400 (5k -20k followers
$400 - $1k (20k-50k followers)
$500 - $2k (50k-100k followers)
$2k - $10k (100k followers+)

41.Expand your real estate business – Being a real estate agent might be
tough. But with the use of Instagram, you can easily expand your
business and get new paying clients!
Here are the steps:

- Set up a business account on IG.


- Add an interesting bio and explain who you are and what you do.
- Follow pages and people who correspond to your business and are in
your niche (Real Estate).
- Engage with your target followers (Those who are interested in real
estate).
- Create high quality content, choose a theme and stick to it.
Especially as a real estate agent, using professional photography is
extremely important. The statistics that show the difference in
engagement if a listing has pro photos compared to smartphones or
less, is astonishing. The same works with Instagram.
- A beautiful picture really is worth a thousand words, and honestly,
it’s also worth thousands of dollars.
- Use real estate hashtags.

When you are able to position yourself as an industry expert, it will


be a lot easier to attract new clients.

With the majority of real estate searches beginning online,


Instagram is a great way to showcase listings.

Here are some of the most followed real estate agents and agencies
on Instagram:

- Chad Carrol (@chadcarrol) – 540k followers


- Jordan Cohen (@jordancohen1) – 277k followers
- David Parnes(@davidbondst) – 125k followers
- And many more.
-
10k+ Followers
These ways will usually work if you have 10k+ followers on Instagram
and more.

42.Create a course/program – As I said before, in order to teach or coach


about a particular subject, you don’t need to be a pro. You just need to
know a little bit more than the others, and just be one step further.

Doing coaching calls is one thing. It’s not super easy, but it’s not hard.
You just have to be confident enough in your knowledge.
But when it comes to creating a course or a program, this is where you
need to be a pro and an expert at what you’re doing.
You need to have at least 10k followers, because this is when people
start looking at your page seriously.
You can create a course/program with any knowledge.
- You need to record videos of yourself speaking about that topic.
- You need to form a community and know how to sell it.

Difficulty – HARD.
Profit – depends on the course or the program.
