Alright so today let’s talk about Instagram and how to make money with your Instagram Page. We will talk about 3 Ways that you can use to start today.

Okay. First let’s quickly talk about Followers. A lot of people think that they need 10.000+ Followers to actually start making money on Instagram. But the basic answer is: There are a lot of possible ways to get started even with less than 1000 followers. In the end you can have millions of followers on your page but if these are just fake accounts it won’t help you to make any money. 

So it is way better to have less real followers instead of having a ton of fake followers. So don’t buy any followers, likes or all kind of things like that to boost your account. This will actually make it way harder for you to get started.

The second thing we need to talk about is your niche. In this case you need to think about “What kind of products or services are related to your niche” because let’s say if your page is about food it is way better to focus on food related things. A landscape related product won’t fit in this case. So actually make a plan and set a focus on your page because that let’s your page stand out in your niche. And don’t pick something just because it’s trendy. Actually set your focus on something that you like the most because otherwise it is way harder for you to stay motivated.   

So now let’s say you know your niche and you started to build up your page a little bit. The most important question is now: how to monetize your content?

And here are 3 ways that you can use to get started today.

Work with Brands

The first one is the most basic thing that you can use to monetize your content. 

And here we need to talk about Sponsored Posts, Stories or Reels.

So what you can do is to contact all kind of related brands that are in your niche and ask them if they are interested in a collaboration to share their products or services with your community. 

Typically what you need to do is to create content that you will share on your page that includes something – like a special caption – and you have to tag the brand. In the end this totally depends on your own plan / what kind of things you want to do and what kind of things the brand wants to do.

To get started I highly recommend to check out what kind of brands are in your niche and next simply create a plan for a possible collaboration. So actually write down what kind of things you want to offer and then you send this complete offer to a brand. Make it as easy as possible for them to understand what you want to do so they don’t have to worry about all kind of things. 

The second option that you can use are Influencer Websites. These are websites with a collection of deals for influencers and yes there are a couple of them that you can use with all kind of entry levels. Here you can easily apply for a couple of brand deals and maybe some brands will pick you for this job. Especially if you don’t have that much time or if you are just starting out thats another really easy way to find some opportunities.

Own Onlineshop

But of course in the end you don’t have to be just an advertiser or basic influencer for some other brands.

The second way to make money is to create your own Onlineshop and sell your own products. That’s actually one of the best ways to build your own business because you don’t rely on different brands and brand deals to make money. The only thing that you need is time to create your own product and online store. And yes there are tons of options that you can use to get started cheap and fast. For example use a Print on demand store for some t shirt designs. The only thing that you have to do is to create the design and put it up on the website. You can even create multiple products with the same design like mugs, wall-arts and all kind of stuff like that. So there are plenty of opportunities here. And the best part is: The print on demand store handles everything. You just have to collect the commission for each sale and advertise your own products on your Instagram page. So definitely give it a try.

Another example are digital products so courses or ebooks for example. Here you can easily use a Store-Designer like Sellfy or Shopify to set up your own store. This is not sponsored by the way. But in my opinion these are the best ways to get started fairly cheap if you don’t know how to set up your own ecommerce store. 

So if you know that you can teach something or if you want to sell your Ebook use these options to make some money. But again, you have to share your products with your community on your social media pages to maximize the chance that someone gets in contact with your products. 

Affiliate

And the third tip that I want to give you is to use Affiliate links. Affiliate links are basic links for products for example and if someone clicks on that link and buys something you will get a commission for that sale. So especially if you talk about a certain product you can put these links in your description to generate some extra money. It’s actually not that hard to get started with affiliate marketing because in most cases you just have to sign up for such a program and that’s it. So definitely use these options here to create another income stream that you can easily use all the time. 

But yeah to wrap it up here really quickly. One of the best things that you can do is to not focus on just one of these tips here. I highly recommend to diversify your income streams. So actually try to get some Brand-Deals, set up your own Onlineshop or Print-on-Demand store and get started with Affiliate Marketing to increase the chance to make some money on Instagram. Especially if you are just getting started you have to put in the work and time but if you actually want to do it, it is possible to build up a side hustle or even a full time income. 

Stay Frosty!
