Flipping through the feed on Instagram, svaypayte interesting links and save files that will be completely useful to you in the future ... Then lazily flip through the stories of your friends, put a couple of likes to your girlfriends - so, purely “for show”, to be noted, so to speak, - and put the phone aside. But after five minutes you again realize that you have absolutely nothing to do. And here you are again “sticking” into the phone, opening up the familiar “Instu” painfully and rummaging around for updates. Suddenly, something new happened with Buzova with her fifteen million subscribers. Or Ariana Grande’s record with her 152 million followers beaten by someone else. The idea of ​​your excessive involvement in the notorious social network slowly comes to you, because you spend almost 90% of your free time there.
And what’s the most annoying, you spend it completely unprofitable and inefficient. In the meantime, they could have earned their first hundreds of rubles simply by sitting here to good use. How to earn money on Instagram from scratch? How do bloggers make money out of the blue, taking salaries off the bush, being only the object of observation of an army of thousands of subscribers? How does all this happen and is it possible to raise money on this Internet application without investments?
Blogging
In fact, various technical methods for making money on this social platform are darkness. And one of the most profitable opportunities today from scratch to make money on Instagram in your account is maintaining a personal blog. I must say that just a couple of years ago in the vast Russian Internet space, this mobile application was not as relevant as it is now. Much fewer network users were registered, which, accordingly, expanded the range of opportunities and contributed to a certain extent monopolization of advertising on Instagram. Making money with this platform was much easier than now in the world of fierce competition.
After the enchanting popularity acquired by bloggers Alexander Shapik and Andrei Martynov with a demonstration by them publicly or even more correctly, it would be “all-seeing” the level of their earnings on simple blogging, many rushed to earn in a similar way. But not everyone expected success. After all, maintaining a personal blog has its pitfalls. For example, for new followers to regularly subscribe to you, you must always submit interesting material, regularly shoot any pranks or something that will cause great interest not only for those who are already subscribed to the blogger’s account, but also encourage new potential profile visitors subscribe to his channel. And the selection and preparation of really interesting content that can hold the attention of hundreds and thousands of fans is quite a difficult task today.
So how do bloggers make money on Instagram? The main emphasis is on the fame and recognition of "instancity." Therefore, the daily publication of photographs with an intriguing, broadening horizons or just an interesting description below them is a mandatory and integral element of blogging in Insta. The more famous a person is, the more chances she has to earn on her profile, because the more offers come from managers of various commercial companies.
For all its inaccessibility, the popularity earned in the same Instagram gives serious advantages to the owner of an interesting account. If the project "shoots", its owner can earn about 2 million rubles. For a person who simply speaks a “suspended" language, he presents his skills extraordinary in short videos and just does what he likes, a pretty decent fee, isn't it?
Advertising posting
Of course, advertising is the most productive and highest paid method of earning money on Instagram. How to make money on your account by advertising someone’s product or service? Of course, there are some nuances here, because in order for you to be offered favorable conditions for cooperation, your profile should be potentially attractive to advertisers. What is included here?
- Popularity - you must be recognizable among a specific audience of network users.
- Attractiveness for subscribers - you must have a certain level of followers, moreover, “live” so that it is really beneficial for the advertiser to work with you.
- Active audience - the larger the number of “fans” of your page will be, the more they will like and comment on your posts, the higher the viral reach and the more recognizable the page will become for other potential subscribers.
Advertising on Instagram is somewhat different from the usual, for example, television advertising. This is also a kind of video, but often it is not shot with a professional camera, but acts as a kind of “video selfie”. Optimum earnings can be found in the case when the number of followers exceeds ten thousand. An account with fewer subscribers rarely makes a profit - only if there are advertisers specifically interested in it.
Why are we talking about “live” subscribers? Because the "wound" visitors to the page bring zero return. They don’t comment on posts, they don’t like, they just hang in the subscribers column and they don’t show any activity on the page. This, in turn, creates the impression of a suspicious account with bots in the form of followers. Such a contingent of potential advertisers is completely uninteresting. No one will offer money to the owner of a profile that is teeming with non-existent people in real life. Namely, it’s precisely such subscribers that are often wound up with special services and helpers for money. That is why it is so important to gather a live audience.
The relationship of blog and advertising
As you may have guessed, only bloggers and public figures can make good money on advertising. They create a post with their own hands - they write in the usual manner so that subscribers do not suspect such a clear advertising company promoted in this post, and thus draw attention to the advertised products. That is, from the outside it looks as if Svetlana Loboda, for example, really uses super-resistant mascara of the Pupa brand, well, or something like that.
In order to earn money on advertising on Instagram, you must necessarily accompany the sales post with a hashtag or tag with the presence of a brand name, which, in fact, needs to be advertised. Moreover, everything should be done carefully and as naturally as possible. Let half of the post be devoted to some information specifically about you, as a blogger, who was interested in subscribing to your live subscribers. You should keep their attention, and not scare away frequent explicit advertising projects.
Another little trick: making money on Instagram will be easier for subscribers if you use some provocative phrase in your description of an advertising post that will cause a lot of questions and intrigue curious visitors to your profile. This will prompt them to active correspondence, and sometimes can lead to a whole debate between those who agree with your conviction and dissenting users of the network. In turn, a large number of comments expands the reach of the audience (that is, it is highlighted in the "interesting" by those who are not yet subscribed to you). They may also be interested in such topics, and as a result, they also become your subscribers, your audience grows, and your chances of attracting advertisers increase.
Likes and Subscriptions
Perhaps this is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to earn money on Instagram from scratch. Without investments, it is not difficult for a newcomer to make money using this method. All that needs to be done is to register your work account (it is not entirely advisable to use your personal one in this case) and perform tasks that potential customers require, that is, like posts from photos or videos of specific people, and also subscribe to their profiles.
The most important and biggest plus of this method of earning is the ability to work at absolutely any time convenient for you, at least at three in the morning, even with a child in your arms, just having access to a mobile phone and putting treasured “hearts” under the posts of customers. At the same time, one does not need to strain or even be just an educated person - the level of professional training and working capacity of such an employee can be so low. But there is a significant minus - this is a very low salary. In their reviews, many say that the average salary for such a “post” is three thousand rubles a month, if you don’t strain.
For those for whom such income is simply a small part-time job, who are satisfied with the level of payment, this method of making money on Instagram is quite acceptable. How to start a similar career? You just need to register on one of the services where potential customers live, and subsequently perform their tasks. The most famous exchanges are Qcomment, Bosslike, Prospero, LikesRock, CashBox.
Views and comments
All of the above services also make it possible to earn money by commenting on specific posts. Moreover, many earn money on Instagram on ordinary video views. Suppose a customer puts a task on the exchange: you need to watch the video and leave a comment under it with the number of characters, for example, at least 500. Separately, he can pay the performer for viewing - often this is not more than 5 rubles, and the comment is paid separately. If it is so long, then you can get up to 40 rubles for it. At the same time, you simply write your opinion, in colloquial style of speech, and in a positive or negative way - this is at the discretion of the customer.
So, unlike copywriting and rewriting, where specific requirements for writing style in a journalistic direction and subject to specific conditions are observed, here you are free to write, say, “your philosophy”. In this case, it’s important for the customer to increase the number of views of his post and develop a discussion under it in order to virally reach as many people as possible and attract them to his account. You here act purely as a performer, and as a performer you get your small, but, in fact, fee corresponding to the work done. Using this method, even a schoolboy can make money on Instagram views. Is that the level of payment here, unfortunately, is also minimal - purely for pocket expenses.
Sale of exclusive photos
Today, making money on Instagram from scratch allows the ability to photograph and the possession of creative artistic flair. If you are madly in love with taking pictures and taking pictures of the world around you - this work will be on your shoulder and to your liking.

But later, when your Instagram account becomes recognizable, when your photos become more original and interesting day after day, you can start earning more on this. Any of your vacation trips, accompanied by a camera you’ve taken with you or a good camera on your favorite gadget, will reflect a good profit for you if you capture interesting and truly extraordinary images.
In order not to be unfounded, we recommend that you look at the work of Kristina Makeeva. Unique, interesting, inspiring and simply incredibly beautiful pictures of a girl captivate the spirit with its colorfulness, realism and penetration. She sees her every shot through the lens of her miracle camera in a different way than it is given to an ordinary viewer. She senses and correctly captures the moment, before automatism she developed the ability to catch the desired angle, easily distinguishes between the correct setting of chiaroscuro. That’s why her personnel are unique, that’s why she earned them more than one trip abroad to bring her new ideas to life.
Online store
It is not necessary to be the real owner of the store in order to be able to sell goods on the Internet, in particular, on Instagram. Is it possible to make money on conventional dropshipping? More than! Today, dropshipping is one of the most common methods for working with customers of direct manufacturers, as they, as suppliers, simply sell their goods through intermediaries, namely dropshippers. Being such a dropshipper, you can easily register your work account on the network, start subscribing to a specially targeted audience (for example, if this is clothing, then it’s better to subscribe to the fair half from twenty to forty-five years old) and already sell the supplier’s goods with its extra charge.
The point is that a specific implementation product does not go through your hands, but is directly shipped from the supplier’s warehouse to the client at the post office. Your job is to connect the seller with the end customer. For this, you put a price under the photo with the product, taking into account your own margin. The extra charge is determined according to your personal wishes. If you want to take the quantity by the client, then it makes sense to put a low percentage mark-up. If you want to receive immediately more tangible amounts, be prepared for the fact that there will be fewer potential customers, because today everyone is looking for benefits and trying to catch the seller with an assortment cheaper.
Alien Profile Promotion
In addition to your own online store, you can promote someone else's. Is it possible to make money on Instagram? The reviews of SMMs show that yes, you can, and pretty decent money, both for working at home.

You also need to familiarize yourself with the basics of commercial marketing within the Instagram network. After all, if your work does not have a result, you will not only not receive your fee, but also earn a bad reputation, which will be quite difficult to get rid of subsequently.

Therefore, if you take up such a job, watch out for its quality.
