Now, how can you build a strong following on Instagram? Apply these tips right away, so you can start seeing a strong following. A strong following is key to making money from Instagram.
*** Optimize your Instagram profile.
Make sure to choose a username that’s less than 30 characters. Ideally, the name is searchable through a keyword. It should also be consistent with the username you use on other social media platforms.
Your bio should include up to 150 characters. It’s a great idea to include a clickable link to your website in your bio.
This is the only place where you can include a clickable link in your Instagram account,so it’s an important aspect of optimizing your account.
***Create and promote a dedicated hashtag.
If your account name is Jennie’s Candies, consider creating the hashtag. Thus, whenever you want to check conversations related to your brand, you can simply check the hashtag. You can also promote this hashtag everywhere you go and on other platforms, both online and offline.
***Get creative with hashtags related to your niche.
While Instagram allows 30 hashtags per post, it might backfire. It’s recommended to use 5 to 10 popular hashtags for your niche and related to your products.
*** Participate in conversations related to your niche.
Check out other accounts using the same hashtags. Follow them and get involved in the conversations. You’ll earn new followers this way.
*** Use compelling captions.
This will help your followers to feel invited to join the conversation and like your posts.
*** Run and promote contests.
Create a contest with a photo that invites contestants and shows the prizes. Also, include a special hashtag for this contest. Decide how the winners will be chosen and post the rules clearly.
For instance, you can create specific photos for the contest. And every photo using the special hashtag is included in the competition. Make sure that you comply with Instagram’s contest rules. Be creative with the contest, so contestants have an opportunity to earn some money from Instagram as well, if possible, like inviting them to join an affiliate program that comes with a prize.
***Create and promote Instagram Stories and Live Videos.
You can add geotags, selfie stickers, moving texts, add color overlays, texts, and face filters (just like Snapchat) to your Instagram stories. Be creative when delivering your message. Make it fun.
*** Post regularly.
The key is being consistent and to ensure that posts are styled in the same way, such as using the same filter or types of post, like photos or quotes. This way, the followers would recognize your posts and correlate them with your brand.
***Collaborate with influencers and like-minded accounts.
Reach out to influencers and like-minded accounts for exchanged and paid posts. For instance, if you have a huge following, you can do posting exchanges. If you collaborate with an influencer, you can choose to create an affiliate program that pays commission or pay per post depending on the size of the following.
*** Post videos and stories to your account.
Use appropriate hashtags and geotags so that your posts can be easily found.
***Develop a unique visual style.
Choose the same filter and style for your Instagram account. If you have several accounts, each account must have its unique personality. For instance, one account is about brand activities and the other one is for selling products.
*** Ask others to engage with your content.
If you ask, people might help you out. As long as the caption on the posts bring value to them and somehow evokes positive feelings, you can ask people politely to get engaged.
*** Use Instagram Ads to Reach More People.
Paid ads can help you to reach more people who otherwise wouldn’t have been looking for your posts. On average, an Instagram ad would cost $0.70 to $1.00.
👉Sell drop-shipped products.
You can easily set up a drop-shipping store with Shopify’s e-commerce platform, which is free for 14 days, and Oberlo’s forever free plan drop-shipping app. With drop-shipping, you can experiment to find the niche products that would sell well, without wasting startup capital.
👉Become an influencer and make money from sponsored posts.
With your influencer status, you can propose to brands to help to promote them in your posts. Top influencers make thousands of dollars per sponsored post. Imagine doing one sponsored post per day, you can make tens of thousands of dollars per month easily.
👉Become an affiliate and make money selling other people’s products.
You can sell other people’s products and receive a cut. Many brands sell their products through affiliate programs.
There are many people that make money from Instagram this way.
Create engaging posts, so you can promote the products without being pushy. The thing is, since you can only have one link on your bio, you might want to include a landing page to your affiliate link. In each post, include a caption that the product can be purchased via the link on the bio.
👉Sell poster photos and other virtual products.
Photogenic products would sell well on Instagram. You can sell poster photos, paintings, drawings, animations, videos, and other image or video-based virtual products. On each post, refer readers to visit the link in your bio. This is another popular way that people make money from Instagram.
👉 Sell your own physical products.
You can sell any physical product that you produce yourself or purchase from suppliers. This conventional e-commerce retailing usually requires stocking some inventory, meaning you’d need to spend some startup capital to stock some products.
And it requires a place where you can keep the products, such a spare room at home or a rented storage place. For instance, if you purchase some inventory from a China-based supplier, you’d need a space to keep them before they’re ordered by and delivered to customers.
