Can You Make Money from Instagram?

But before you start dreaming of quitting your day job and living off of sponsored posts, let’s talk about the harsh reality of making money from Instagram.

First things first, you need the following. And not just any following, a sizable one. We’re talking tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of followers. Because let’s be honest, who wants to sponsor a post from someone with only 50 followers? No one, that’s who. So before you start counting your cash, you better start counting your followers.

Next, you need to be strategic about what you post. Sure, you can post whatever you want, but if you want to make money, you need to post what brands want you to post. So say goodbye to pictures of your cat and hello to pictures of the latest face cream. Because let’s face it, you’re not getting paid to post about your cat, and you’re getting paid to post about the cat-themed face cream.

And speaking of getting paid, don’t expect to get rich from sponsored posts. Unless you’re one of the lucky few with millions of followers, you’re not going to be making thousands of dollars per post. More likely, you’ll be making a few hundred dollars per post if you’re lucky. So don’t quit your day job just yet.

Once you’ve built up your following and learned how to post strategically, you can start monetizing your Instagram in other ways. 

Why not use it as a funnel for your real business?

After all, you’ve already put in all that time and effort building a following, why not put it to good use?

And the best part is, your real business can be anything you want it to be. Dropshipping? Affiliate marketing? Print on demand? The possibilities are endless!
