A Brief History of Instagram

Instagram is a media social network founded in 2010. Active growth of the audience occurred in 2015. According to the latest figures from the company, the mobile app has been installed by more than 1 billion people on Android devices alone, not counting iOS and Windows.

Initially, it was assumed that Instagram will be a mobile application that allows you to save photos in an album. Over time, the priorities for the development of the social network have changed. Now this is not just a primitive photo album. This is a whole tool for self-expression and business. With many ways to monetize a variety of projects.

Instagram facts

This option is one of the most effective ways to promote your account. At the end of 2017, Instagram released an update with double feeds. It became possible to stream together, simultaneously exchanging the audience.

This function is both an enemy and a friend - depending on whose hands it is used. Instagram algorithms are working to improve content by forcibly disabling uninteresting posts. In order not to fall out of the feed of subscribers, it is enough to follow a few recommendations, which we will talk about later.

The ranking of the feed is affected by the totality of all algorithm parameters that are hidden from users. The main recommendation: fill your posts with useful and unique information that I will read, like and comment on.

3 Media space of active use

More than 4.2 billion likes are placed daily. This indicator represents how actively people use the mobile application.

In the screenshot, you can see that Instagram is one of the ten most popular social networks in the world, as of the beginning of 2018.

4 No full PC version

The developers never created a version for a personal computer. Users were presented only with a web version, which was significantly limited in functionality.

The web version of Instagram looks like this:

5 Instagram is not standing still

On Instagram, there are two scenarios. Either the growth of the account, or marking time and subsequent degradation. It is impossible to stay at a certain stage of development for a long time.

Advantages of Instagram over other social networks

Instagram gives you the opportunity to express yourself to the whole world with the help of photos, videos and interesting texts.

• Audience engagement;
• niche market;
• Fast and affordable monetization of projects.

Important! Engagement (ER) is a parameter that characterizes the popularity of an account. Measured in percentage. Calculated according to the formula:

ER = Likes + Comment's / Reach * 100%

Where, Likes - likes, Comment's - comments, Reach - coverage. A good indicator of ER would be at least 2%.

Online engagement calculation (ER) can be done in the LiveDune service.

We specifically focused your attention on the concept of engagement, since this term will continue to be encountered regularly, and if you want to master earnings on Instagram, then you first need to familiarize yourself with this important indicator, it greatly affects the account, and then we will tell you how and why.

The screenshot shows the statistics of the most popular bloggers, including Olga Buzova. Over 1 million subscribers, a good indicator of ER would be at least 2%.

The following example shows an account with an ER of 8%. Russia has 14-year-old boy who successfully sells kittens abroad. The cost of one copy is 1500 dollars. Since insta is a public social network, photos with his kittens are scattered all over the world, due to the publications of clients. Word of mouth in this case is great for promoting the product. Note that he only has 7,945 followers, but that doesn't stop him from selling animals for an impressive price.

How much do top bloggers earn?

The income of bloggers on Instagram from the CIS countries reaches 10 million rubles. In the US or Canada, this is considered the usual amount of an average blogger.

1 Popular model Alena Esipova maintains a personal Instagram account with 616,000 followers. The main source of income is advertising publications. The average monthly income is about 400 thousand rubles.

2 TV presenter Dom-2, Olga Buzova is the Russian record holder in terms of the number of subscribers. She has over 12 million followers. Earns by posting advertisements. The monthly check is approaching 10 million rubles. One publication for clients costs 400-500 thousand rubles.

3 Sergei Shnurov, a member of the Leningrad group, the owner of a 3 million audience. Account monetization takes place in the form of advertising posts and promotion of your own concerts. According to approximate calculations, 3 million rubles a month come out.

How much can a regular blogger earn?

Here it is not the quantity of the audience that decides, but the quality. For example, it is possible to sell advertising from 1 thousand subscribers. The price for 1 subscriber fluctuates between 1-3 rubles. When creating a small subscriber base of 5-10 thousand, you can count on a stable income of 20,000 rubles per month.

To begin with, we will divide all bloggers into the following groups:

Bloggers' income of up to 100,000 subscribers depends on a competent content plan, which must be thought out in advance. It should include: advertising posts, life hacks, stories, tips. It is very important that photo and video formats alternate, this has a positive effect on engagement. The chosen method of monetization also affects the profitability.

There is a direct pattern between earnings and the quality of the audience. The customer is ready to pay only for a live and active audience. This means that the percentage of engagement for an account should not fall below 2-5%, depending on the number of audience.

To raise the level of engagement, you need to:

• post unique content daily, at least once a day;
• respond to comments on your posts in a timely manner;
• share live stories regularly;
• ask your audience for an opinion on an event, news or story, thus engaging it in a dialogue;
• competently fill out the account profile (more on this in the section “Where to start making money on Instagram” - “Step Two”).

In addition, it is important to track statistics using special services and make adjustments. How to do it? This is discussed in detail in the "How to start making money on Instagram" section below in the "Step Five" and "Step Six" paragraphs.

The rules of involvement are:

• up to 10,000 subscribers 8–10%;
• 10,000-100,000 subscribers 6-8%;
• 100,000–1,000,000 subscribers 4–6%;
• over 1,000,000 subscribers 2–4%.

Let's fix it: the engagement of the audience of your account directly affects the amount of your earnings. Just coming up with a beautiful name for your account, making a cool avatar and uploading juicy pictures every day is not enough. Even if you have a million subscribers in this account, but they all react sluggishly to your materials, this will not bring you a lot of money.

If you are thinking about how to make money on Instagram, then first think about how you will influence your audience? How will you get her to interact with you? What content will get more likes and comments? If you have not yet decided on the niche of your future project, then reasoning about the involvement of followers will help you make a decision. We’ll talk more about how you can increase audience engagement later.

Useful fact The average price for the sale of an advertising post is calculated using the formula 2-3 rubles. for 10 subscribers.

Ways to earn money

This article breaks down the top 10 monetization methods:

1. Earnings on affiliate programs
2. Sale of goods
3. Sale of services
4. Account promotion
5. Maintaining and administering accounts
6. Creation and/or sale of graphics, photos, images for business accounts
7. Earnings on likes, subscriptions and comments through special services
8. Accounts sale
9. User photo printing
10. Create or sell stock photos for business accounts

Before choosing a monetization method, study potential . Create an Excel spreadsheet with four columns:

• blogger name,
• number of audience
• monetization method,
• the average number of likes and comments on the last 10 posts.

A proven way to analyze competitors

For example, let's take a group of accounts from the topic: “selling books”. Accounts differ in different ways of monetization, but with approximately the same number of audiences. Our table shows pages with up to ~11 thousand subscribers. To choose the best monetization method, it is enough to analyze 20-30 accounts.

After filling in the table, we see that the @top.book and @kiwi.losk accounts have the best ratio of indicators: the average number of likes and comments with the number of audience. From this we can conclude that advertising publications are best suited to monetize your account in this area.

However, this is not quite true. Perhaps competitors have built the wrong content plan and post posts that do not catch subscribers. Therefore, you should always monitor the ratio of the number of audience and average indicators: likes, comments.

If you sell any products, then you do not need to spam your followers' feed with constant advertising of your goods, products or services. You need to rely on informational and entertaining publications, and organically fit your products between them.

It is important to study the experience of competitors in order to understand how the audience reacts to a particular publication, what catches them, what makes them like and comment on posts. And based on this experience, build your own successful monetization and account development model.

IMPORTANT! Instagram pays only for an active audience. Bots and fakes spoil all profile statistics.

Method 1: Earnings on advertising

Earnings on advertising - will bring tangible income in the presence of a large audience. The essence of earning is simple, from time to time a blogger uploads a photo and a brief description of any product, service, event that was prepaid by the advertiser in his account.

Customers are most often searched for on specialized sites:

The screenshot shows earnings on the Plibber advertising platform.

At the beginning of the journey, users have to look for customers. Upon reaching 50 thousand audience, regular requests for cooperation begin to appear. SMM marketing experts agree that more than 2-5 advertising posts per week should not be posted. This has a negative effect on audience engagement. There are also exceptions. For example, native advertising is used 2-3 times more often.

The screenshot above illustrates the account of the popular model Anastasia Mikhailyuta, who has 132,000 followers. Basically, she publishes photos from life, but she does not forget about unobtrusive advertising posts. In this photo, she kind of hints to her audience so that people are interested and follow the hashtag. Agree, it is not immediately possible to understand that this is an advertising publication. After clicking on #vintagecandella, the user will be transferred to the list of all posts with this mention. And to enter the online store of candles will be an easy task, because. in the top with publications, there will be posts from the official account of this company. Yes, and in many other posts in the search, most likely, the official account of the seller is marked. This discreet way of advertising is suitable for those who sell unique items or services. The number of hashtag mentions should not exceed 1,000 mentions.

Many subscribers imitate their idols, want to be like them. Therefore, we are happy to buy the same candles. That's why advertisers love Instagram and actively promote their products and services there.

Before posting the first advertising post, it is recommended to activate the business mode in the Instagram account settings. This will allow you to track important statistics: engagement, reach, likes and comments. For clarity, it is proposed to read the instructions:

1 Go to the profile settings and select Connect to Company profile:

2 We are greeted by the Instagram Business Welcome page, where we click Continue. Next, you need to select a Facebook page:

To link a personal Facebook page to an Instagram account, you must enter a password and login from your Facebook profile. There can be several profiles, in which case you need to choose the one that suits you the most, as here:

If there is no suitable profile in the list, you can create a new one. The screenshot below shows the Create Page item.

Then you need to provide contact information. You can choose one thing, such as an email address, or do not specify contacts at all.

After entering the data, Instagram will greet you with the words Welcome! And additional functions will appear in the profile: Analytics and the Promote button.

This data can be edited later. After switching to the company profile, detailed profile statistics open with the following parameters: likes, comments, views, engagement, publication saves, coverage.

Statistics need to be analyzed daily. The main parameters reflecting the life of an account are engagement and coverage of the post. Make sure that there is no regression on these indicators. Every day, the numbers of the two key components should grow by 1-3%.

With the transition to a business account, detailed statistics of subscribers will become available:

The screenshot illustrates the audience activity hours.

This screenshot shows that the audience of the account is mainly 25-34-year-old women. The age range acts as a necessary filter to be analyzed.

This screenshot reflects the geolocation of your followers. You can see not only countries, but also cities.

After analyzing age, gender and place of residence, we can draw conclusions about what the audience wants to see. For example, if your main audience is women 25-34 years old from Moscow, offer exactly what they need. It can be both free delivery to Moscow, and publications affecting the events of the capital.

Companies doing business on the Internet are willing to pay for advertising. For example, an account with an audience of 50,000 subscribers will receive an average of 5,000-10,000 rubles per post, depending on engagement rates and post coverage. Before searching for an advertiser, work out the answers to all possible questions regarding your account.

The screenshot shows the prices for an advertising post, depending on the number of subscribers, daily audience growth and engagement:

Method 2: Earnings on affiliate programs

This method rather acts as an additional source of income. Affiliate programs should be implemented under the Target Audience. It is possible to calculate the target audience using statistical data after switching the account to a business profile.

Go to the profile settings using the "Edit" button. Next, paste the link in the Site field. The third step shows the result:

Please note that in the description under the photo, as well as in the comments to the post, you can specify links, but they will be inactive, which means that a person will not be able to click on them and go to the partner store. The follower can only copy the link from the text and enter it manually into the browser, which few people do. Therefore, in order to increase click-through rate, bloggers place affiliate links in the description of their account before posting, and then, at the end of the note, mention that the link to order the book is in the profile. You can only leave a clickable link in your profile.

Now consider the most popular affiliate exchanges:

Method 3: Selling goods

Selling goods is a common way to monetize around the world. It starts functioning already at the first 6-9 posts. When selling goods and services, it is necessary to draw up a content plan. This means that the topics of the posts should be thought out in advance. Selling posts are diluted with informative, fun and useful posts. Subject to the constant development of the account, the business will flourish rapidly.

The screenshot shows an example of how an online store sells bags:

List of current niches:

IMPORTANT! A store without prices is a bad store. The buyer (reader) should see the available price list before their eyes.

Method 4: Selling Services

The screenshot shows examples of business accounts in the service sector:

A case from one's life

A person provides the services of a foreign language tutor. In his profile, he publishes not only selling posts, but also useful training tips. This inspires confidence in the specialist and forms a strong bond between the seller and the buyer.

Method 5: Account promotion

Account promotion is a very popular service. The main goal is the promotion of other people's profiles, various paid and free methods.

An example of a price list for an smm specialist:

Income on the example of a famous blogger

Popular blogger Artem Senatorov has been promoting Instagram accounts for over 3 years. On its page, it sells training courses and consultations. For consultation receives 1-5 thousand rubles. More than 200 thousand are published per month, with a total number of subscribers - 216 thousand.

Pay attention to his avatar. It attracts attention, due to the icon with the broadcast, which you want to click on. This is just a picture, but it attracts interest when it hits the eye in the general search of Instagram. This clever trick can be used as an additional method of promoting your account for free.

You can earn money by promoting accounts both by working for yourself and by working for someone else.

• Work for yourself

There are private promoters, as a rule, they are registered as individual entrepreneurs. There are large companies that are engaged in the complex promotion of both Instagram accounts and other social networks, as well as websites.

• Working for someone

Here we are talking about working in the staff of a company that is engaged in complex promotion, as mentioned above, where you will need to promote the clients of this company. Or work in the staff of a company that needs to promote its own products and services.

In the screenshot above, we see that the online store requires a manager to promote company accounts on Instagram and VK, who is ready to pay 25,000 rubles. per month.

The profession of an Instagram promotion manager is mastered in just 1-2 months. The average salary of an Instagram social network manager in Russia is 27,500 rubles.

The screenshot illustrates the average salary level for different cities of Russia, in terms of the location of the employer:

As can be seen from the picture, the highest salaries in this profession are received by residents of Moscow, in the regions the level of salaries is lower.

Method 6: Maintaining and administering accounts

Many businessmen do not have time to maintain an account on their own, or do not have the appropriate knowledge, so they involve assistants for this work.

Administrator duties typically include the following tasks:

• Studying the subject;
• Drawing up a content plan;
• Selection of images and videos;
• Timely publication of posts;
• Spam removal, moderation;
• Publication of photos and videos in live stories;
• Writing a note;
• Putting hashtags;
• Conducting promotions and drawings among subscribers;
• Answers in the comments;
• Interaction with other bloggers for cooperation, joint promotions, etc.;
• Search for informational reasons for subsequent publications.

If you have experience as an Administrator, for example, in the social network Vkontakte, then it will not be difficult to find a job on Instagram. It is best to search by thematic sites and groups in social networks. Income directly depends on the amount of work done.

Note! Many employers, when posting vacancies for an Instagram Administrator, often combine two different professions under this concept: Administrator and Promoter, which we talked about in the previous section. Ideally, own both directions. But you must understand that if we are talking about a large company-employer, then it will be difficult for you to fulfill your duties in a quality manner. Each of these areas represents a large layer of work. But if we are talking about a small company, then it is quite possible that it will cope well with both the administration function and the promotion function.

In order to become an administrator, you need to:

Step 1. Get trained

If you decide to become an administrator, then you need to acquire certain skills that will help you cope with the duties of an Instagram Administrator.

You can learn the theoretical part of the profession for free. On the Internet there is a sufficient number of training video courses and guidelines. If you spend 2 hours every day, for a month, it is possible to acquire basic knowledge with which you can find your first job as an Instagram administrator.

Step #2. Create an account and practice on it

After studying the theory, it is necessary to immediately move on to practice. Get an Instagram account. Perform all administrative duties.

Your task is to hone your skills on your own account. Plus, your account will serve as proof of your skills when applying for a job.

Step #3 Job search

Where to find an Instagram administrator job:

Method 7: Create and / or sell ready-made photos and graphics

Selling photos and various images is an option for photographers and graphic designers with skills in specialized programs: Photoshop, 3D-Max, etc.

What photographers and designers sell on Instagram:

• photo;
• illustrations;
• animated portraits;
• logos;
• caricature;
• avatars;
• drawings.

People who are interested in buying graphics buy: Instagram users, owners of information resources, content managers, account administrators and business owners.

Reason for buying: the need for quality content and the lack of skills in drawing graphic images.

One of the ways to find customers is competitors who did not bother to respond in time to comments-questions from subscribers under their posts.

Also, paid or free ways to promote services are connected for search. For example, such as: mass following, placement of advertising publications with bloggers and popularization through hashtags.

It would be useful to create an account on freelance exchanges, as clients often turn to them in search of a designer.

Here is a list of eligible freelance exchanges:

If you are a photographer, then in parallel with Instagram, you can create an account on one of the popular photo stocks. So you can reach customers not only from Russia, but also from all over the world. Plus, this will give you an additional source of income, since your work will be bought on photo stocks not only for Instagram. From one sold photo or image, you can get from 50 to 5,000 rubles.

Underwater rocks

The complexity of the implementation of the method lies in the initial investments. You will need photo backgrounds, decor elements, shooting equipment, lighting and appropriate software on a computer. All this will cost about 150-200 thousand rubles. Income from the business is measured, depending on the volume of sales.

Method 8: Earnings on likes, subscriptions and comments through special services

Social networks and the possibility of earning money in them have spawned an entire industry of various related services that help in promoting accounts, analytics, collecting data from competitors, etc. So, for example, in the social networks market, the service of cheating likes, subscriptions, comments is in great demand. Ordering such services, as a rule, account holders who are interested in the rapid growth of their Instagram.

Ordering services in most cases occurs through special services that act as intermediaries. They bring customers and performers together in one place. Despite the commission that you have to pay to such services, it is sometimes more profitable than recruiting people yourself, setting tasks for them and monitoring their implementation. In addition, all these services have a user-friendly interface that automates many routine tasks and makes the process of working with performers convenient and fast.

This work is cheap, it costs a penny, since there are a lot of people who want to do it, and the performer does not need any special knowledge and skills.

We have separate detailed articles on this topic, we recommend that you read them:

Method 9: Selling Accounts

The popularity of selling and buying accounts on Instagram is due to the rapid growth of the social network itself. They sell both age accounts with history, content, followers, and new, zero accounts.

They sell, as a rule, because the topic is boring or there is a need for investments for some other, more interesting and profitable project:

The people who buy are those who have free money and want to invest it profitably. Having bought accounts with a live audience on a specific topic, for example, women, then you can “merge” traffic from the purchased groups to some online jewelry store or affiliate programs.

Buyers can also be office workers dreaming of their own business on the Internet. Agree, it is easy to work for hire, save money and buy for 150,000 - 200,000 rubles. an account that will bring you 50,000 rubles. profit per month. Some people don't get this when they work for hire. True, here you need to be very careful and not believe everything that is written in such ads. If you decide to buy such an account, then require proof of income from the seller and carefully calculate everything.

Zero accounts are often used as bots for cheating indicators: the number of subscribers, likes, comments. Purchased bots can be controlled through special programs. But since Instagram and other social networks are able to track bots and periodically ban them, there is always a need for new accounts.

They buy and sell accounts on specialized exchanges, as well as through intermediary guarantors.

Method 10: Print user photos

Photocards are printed using vending machines. One sold photo card gives 50 rubles of net income. The device is installed in shopping, business, office centers, and crowded places.

The payback period of the equipment depends on the traffic and solvency of the audience. According to franchise owners, an average of 6-8 months is a full refund of the money spent in the absence of emergency repairs. It is rational to buy new vending machines, so you get a 2-year warranty period.

How to build a large subscriber base

To form a subscriber base, it is necessary to describe a portrait of the target audience with an analysis of problems, weaknesses and common ground. If you collect a “mediocre” audience that does not belong to a niche, then the result will be mediocre.

Marketing experts, the smm-company Dnative, provide an interesting wording in their report for the beginning of 2018:

“Our team has learned the ins and outs of doing business on Instagram. The criterion for success is the ability to collect high-quality target audience. For example, an account that sells chainsaws should not have 100,000 followers at all. It is enough to declare yourself among the owners of sawmills, and things take a different turn.”

For a good result, you need to follow a few tips. So you will form a foundation in your account for subsequent promotion. In cases from leading SMM marketers, you will find information about the importance of filling out a profile. This section of the article briefly but informatively talks about proven features that experts use to quickly promote an account.

Correctly fill in the biography section

The section with personal information is filled in in accordance with the selected business topic. If positioning is on behalf of the company, then you need to describe your unique selling proposition. Contact information is indicated in any case. The more points of contact for feedback, the better. First of all, when a profile is found, the client will pay attention to the profile picture.

From the description of your profile, the subject of the account should be clear. In summary, the profile should contain:

• avatar;
• Contact details;
• unique selling proposition;
• a link to a third-party source, if any;
• the selected category of activity (in the application settings);
• the location is indicated if you have a store or office and subscribers need to see its location on the map.

IMPORTANT! Make your profile public. To do this, toggle the indicator in the Instagram app settings.

Go to your Instagram settings. Move the “Closed account” slider to the off position:

Regular posting

Optimal posting frequency: 1-2 per day. Accommodation time is selected individually. By default, the best moment is considered: 7-9 am, and 21-23 pm. The formation of a ranked feed on instagram prioritizes accounts that publish unique material daily. Regular posts allow you not to forget about the existence of an account and keep subscribers in good shape.

I have experience managing an Instagram account. Once I took a break for a week. Reach and engagement statistics have halved. Within 2 weeks, I regained my previous results with regular posting. To prevent this from happening, create a content plan. It is advisable to keep at least 20 reserve posts in reserve. They will be needed in case of force majeure.

Responses to comments

Any comment from readers requires a response. You need to work with the audience. There are usually more negative reviews and comments than positive ones. A person who is satisfied with the quality of work will pass by, and annoyed will write angry comments.

If you do not respond to negative comments, a demonstration of weakness and self-doubt appears. Task: defend the position without causing harm to the offender.

Use hashtags in every post

Hashtags are keywords that link multiple posts into the same category. To form a list of niche hashtags, you will need 1 hour of free time.

We create and analyze a list of keywords using the service - Hashtagify. The service is in English. To check the hashtag, simply enter a word or phrase without spaces in the search box.

To find out the frequency of a hashtag, you need to go to the Instagram application and enter a phrase or word of interest into the search. After a moment, a pop-up menu will display the number of mentions for all time.

Create a table in Excel and divide it into 4 main columns (categories):

• low-frequency (100 - 1,000 mentions);
• mid-frequency (1,000 - 10,000);
• high-frequency (10,000 - 100,000);
• top (100,000 and above).

The ideal list includes words from all categories. Attention should be paid to the formation of low-frequency and mid-frequency queries, they are the ones who bring customers who are ready to part with their money.

There are special services for selecting hashtags, for example: https://web.stagram.com/

This service selects the most popular word forms and phrases for the entered word.

IMPORTANT! Re-write the hashtags in your post each time. Copying the same ones will result in a shadowban of the account. Shadowban - blocks the search for your publications for all hashtags. Avoid mass repetition. Combine combinations from the generated table. Optimal quantity: 8-12 pieces, 2-3 from each category.

Post text design

Even if the page looks perfect, the quality of the text plays a key role. The client acts as a reader, and everyone wants to find relevant and useful information on issues of interest.

The text component, according to Instagram regulations, is limited to 2000 characters. In advertising and training text, it is important to reveal the problem and offer a solution. When placing a narrative story or a case from life, the texts end with a concise conclusion.

Break the information into paragraphs, this will protect against unsubscribes, due to the uncomfortable presentation of the material. If you use emoticons, don't overuse them. They are meant to display emotion, not beauty.

Check text for grammar, punctuation, water and spam BEFORE posting. To do this, use the following services:

Photo and video for the post

The ideal content plan combines: photo and video formats.

If a person sells quadrocopters through Instagram, but uploads only photos. Is this a mistake? Of course yes. Show products in motion. Video connects with subscribers and has a positive effect on engagement.

IMPORTANT! Video length limit is 1 minute.

Advertising company development

As soon as the account is brought back to normal in all respects, the question of an advertising campaign arises. There are paid and free ways to promote.

The free ones include:

To paid:

Owners of business accounts devote relatively little time to learning how to promote. For a quick positive result, you need to use the maximum number of points of contact with the target audience. Here, as in cleaning sewer pipes, an integrated approach is important. Opinion of an SMM Specialist

How to make your page popular

For popularity, you will need to display your posts in the TOP by hashtags, regularly appear in recommendations, and use all possible methods of promotion.

Criteria to be followed in order for publications to get to the TOP by hashtags:

Form provocative posts that diverge from the opinion of society. In addition to posts, use information blocks with history and online broadcasts.

IMPORTANT! Live, as well as materials from stories, if desired, are saved in the settings.

Idea for Instagram 7. Sell your products or services on Instagram

Instagram is a very effective marketplace. There is a very interested, active audience here. Promoting your product or service is a good way to make money. Even accounts with a small number of followers can earn decent money on Instagram.

What do they sell on Instagram?

• Goods: food, clothing and footwear, flowers, handmade products, accessories, decor items and utensils, cosmetics, etc.;

• Services: designers, copywriters, webmasters, photographers, artists, psychologists, business coaches, lawyers, programmers, beauty salons, sports complexes, entertainment projects.

Today, almost any product or service can be sold using Instagram. We published some ideas for products that can be sold on Instagram and examples of accounts in this collection. The most important thing is to properly present your product. If you have some kind of hobby, you can sell your work. If you have an entrepreneurial skill, open an online store. If you are a specialist of a narrow profile, for example, a lawyer or a makeup artist, create an account where you will share your experience, give useful advice, and answer questions of interest to subscribers. People are drawn to free information if it's useful. By doing this, you attract new subscribers, inspire confidence in yourself - and in case of real need, your subscriber can turn to you for real help.

Each type of sales-oriented account has different requirements. For example, visual content is important for an online store - the better the photos are, the more attractive the product itself will be. For an account focused on providing any professional and consulting services (legal, medical, psychological), useful texts are much more important. But it's good when the blog combines both components.

In order for your services or products to be in demand, you need to collect your target audience on your blog. Before promoting an account, developing its design and planning posts, you must clearly imagine the portrait of your subscriber: how old is he, what city does he live in, what does he do, what is his level of income, what is he interested in. When you have an accurate idea of ​​your subscribers, it will be easier for you: promote your account, create an offer, determine the price, interact with your audience. These are very important parameters for targeting - an advertising mechanism that allows you to select from the entire available audience only those who meet the specified criteria (target audience) and show ads to it. Currently, targeting is one of the most effective ways of promotion.

How else can make money on Instagrampromoting your products and services

Provide them to bloggers on a barter basis: you are a product / service, they are an advertisement for your products.

Organize sweepstakes, contests, promotions, discounts on Instagram.

Use the right hashtags, popular geolocations.

Properly design a profile header with a mention of keywords that will make it easy to find you. For example, if you sell homemade cakes and are located in Saratov, write in the title of the blog "Cakes Saratov" - something like this, potential users will look for such services.

Use targeting - a built-in feature in Instagram business accounts or contact professionals. This is not an exhaustive list of promotion methods. More information about this topic can be found on the Internet - there are many useful materials in the public domain.

Life hacks for selling on Instagram:

Share with your subscribers the process of creating your product. But don't go overboard with details - posts should be entertaining.

Always respond to comments.

Write the price for your product/service. Very often in online stores you can see the magic phrase "write to direct" - this is for those who suddenly want to know the price of products. Lack of price can scare the customer. Firstly, not everyone wants to spend time chatting in direct just to find out the cost. Secondly, it suggests that the prices of this seller are higher than those of competitors. And thirdly, there is a myth that sellers adjust prices, assessing the wealth of a person who asks a question in direct. Your task, as a seller, is to simplify the buying process as much as possible. So please quote the price right now.

Reward your followers. Post their photos with reviews.

This is perhaps the easiest and most common way to make money on Instagram. The only important condition is that you must have enough subscribers to make money on advertising posts. Usually, a pass ticket to this "source" starts from 10 thousand subscribers, however, even with a smaller audience, you can earn on advertising - only the income will be more modest. The main thing is that your entire audience is real, and not artificially inflated by cheating.

Earning algorithm:

• You create an advertising post on Instagram (it can be a photo or a video);
• You insert a branded hashtag, mention or link to promote the brand;
• You share it with your audience;
• You receive money.

The scheme of earning is quite simple, but there are a number of important questions that need to be answered.

Where to get followers on Instagram

You will be lucky if clients come to you themselves. This is not uncommon. People look at your account, rate it, make sure that the target audience matches, and write to you. If you want this story to happen more often, then mention this service in your account. Or create a separate account for advertising recruitment. Just do not overdo it with the number of advertising posts. In pursuit of money, you can forget about the quality of content. You can lose a large number of your own subscribers if you overload your profile with advertising posts. Therefore, carefully consider this moment when earning on Instagram.

Today, there are many platforms that help bloggers and advertisers find each other. Adstamer, Epicstar, Sociate are all social promotion services. Here you can find tasks about placing ads in your account and calculate how much you will receive for this. On average, for placing 1 advertising post, you can get from 500 rubles to infinity (it all depends on how popular the account is).

Epicstars. Terms of cooperation: the number of subscribers on the channel must be at least 1000 and it must not contain content that violates the rules of the social network. Commission 20%

Plibber. The conditions of this exchange are as follows: your account must have at least 30 posts and at least 150 followers. The minimum withdrawal amount is 100 rubles. System commission - 15%

SpellFeed. It is a directory of advertisers and advertising profiles. The service does not charge a commission, you can use the catalog for free and without registration.

adstamer. Commission 10%. The minimum number of subscribers is 1000 people. There are no restrictions on withdrawals.

Labelup. You must have at least 10,000 subscribers and at least 20 posts in the feed. Commission 5%. Withdrawal from 250 rubles

How to price ads on Instagram

To be honest, the account owner determines the cost of advertising himself: depending on how he personally evaluates his services. But in general, the price is formed based on the number of subscribers. Usually the formula looks like this: 10 subscribers = 1 rub. for advertising. That is, if you have 3 thousand subscribers, then an advertising post will cost 300 rubles, and if 30 thousand, then already 3,000 rubles.

But the founder of Due.com, John Rumpton, calculates the price according to a different formula: $ 0.25-0.5 per “like” and $ 1 per comment. You need to multiply this by the average number of likes and comments - that's how you get the price of an advertising post. Please note that in the first case, the price depends on the recruited audience, and in the other case, on the activity that this audience shows.

The amount of your income will depend on many factors, so we will not promise any specific amounts. However, we note that a blog with an audience of 30 thousand people is able to earn 20-25 thousand rubles per month.

People who are looking for opportunities to make money on the Internet opt ​​for social networks. Making money on Instagram has gained some popularity and has become a leader due to its simplicity and profitability. Further, the features and opportunities for obtaining additional income on Instagram will be considered in detail.

How to make money on Instagram - profitable ways

There are several profitable ways to make money on Instagram in 2019. Gradually, new ideas are being introduced to the Internet, which is why the principle of earning is changing. At the moment, you can earn additional income from advertising and subscribers. Additionally, you can highlight the expertise and sale of goods and services.

Earn money on Instagram from advertising

All advertising on the Internet is laid out for money, as most users of social networks know about. There are several ways to cooperate in the field of advertising with advertisers or intermediaries, which determines the earnings on Instagram. You should consider in detail the principle of obtaining funds and popular topics for advertisers.

Working with advertising exchanges

The easiest way to start making money from advertising is to use advertising exchanges. To do this, you need to decide on an intermediary - an exchange that will provide an opportunity to earn money, and transfer money for advertising.

An important condition for cooperation is a large number of subscribers. Some exchanges provide for checking all registered accounts for compliance with the advertised topics. The exchange is an intermediary between the advertiser and the account on which the advertisement is placed, for which it takes a set commission.

Before starting cooperation, you should carefully study the conditions of intermediaries. Often, for violations of the “signed” contract, the “employee” loses the money earned as a payment of a fine. At the moment, the following can be distinguished:

• Epicstars – the terms of cooperation require a mandatory number of subscribers from 1 thousand or more. The page owner himself should not have a photo or statements that could violate the rules for using Instagram. The commission for mediation is 20%.
• Plibber - here the conditions and requirements are a little loyal, unlike the rest. In this case, the account should have only 150 followers, and the page should have at least 30 posts. The commission for providing the opportunity to earn less is only 15%, but the minimum amount for withdrawing earned funds is 100 rubles.
• SpellFeed is a special account that contains in the list sites advertisers and advertising profiles. The exchange does not take a commission for cooperation, since it only provides a list, and does not interact with the parties.
• Adstamer – the exchange requires at least 1 thousand subscribers for the account with which it will cooperate, but does not impose restrictions on the withdrawal of earned funds. Despite the proposed easing of conditions, intermediary services charge a 10% commission.
• dealway - this service provides not only the provision of advertising for accounts for the purpose of earning, but also viewing the development of their activities. The commission for mediation is charged at a rate of 10%.
• Instagram - this exchange provides the opportunity to earn on subscribers. Commission is charged at a rate of 10%.

Earnings on affiliate programs has positive and negative sides. The advantages include reliability and the complete absence of fraud on the part of advertisers, as well as ease of use of services.

There are more disadvantages to such earnings, since each exchange provides for its own requirements for the account of applicants. Negative factors include:

• A large number of subscribers on the account - you need to look for a suitable exchange in which the applicant can pass the condition and start cooperation.
• Charging a commission for providing a promotional video or photo.
• Conditions for the withdrawal of earned funds.
• Mandatory registration of an account on the exchange - in this way, the applicant is checked to identify the fact of violations.

Earnings on Instagram in the presented way is a compliance with a number of conditions on the part of the advertiser and the exchange. The following instructions for cooperation are provided:

1. First you need to choose the exchange with which the account owner will cooperate in the future.
2. Register on the exchange website - on some sites, earnings on Instagram start without registration.
3. Further, the account is checked by the owners of the exchange - they check the compliance with the applicant's requirements for the terms of cooperation.
4. If everything is in order, the exchange employees send the applicant the conditions for displaying advertising on their page and the proposed payment amount.
5. With full consent, the account owner creates an advertising post with a hashtag previously sent by the advertiser.
6. The post is published and must be kept on the user's page for a specified time.

If all conditions are met, the exchange employees transfer funds or credit them to the individual account of the page owner. After that, he can withdraw money by transferring it to his bank account or card, paying a certain commission.
