Top three tips to monetize your Instagram account

Posted on March 25, 2019

If it's your dream to monetize your Instagram account someday, then we've got the tips you need to get started.

There are a lot of words thrown around when it comes to making money on Instagram: affiliate, sponsored post, influencer marketing, and so on. But what does it all mean?

Let's explore three tips that will help you understand monetization on Instagram better and start earning money sooner.

Tip #1

1. To be an influencer you don't need as many followers as you think

Even Instagram accounts with as few as 100 followers can earn sponsorship deals if they have good engagement and branding. This means it's easier to monetize your Instagram account than you probably thought! You definitely don't need to have thousands of followers to get started.

Remember that you'll need to use some bargaining power when it comes to negotiating with brands for deals. If you don't feel comfortable taking a deal, then start to get comfortable saying no.

Tip #2

2. Engagement is just as important as numbers

To monetize your Instagram account, you're going to need to have solid engagement with your posts, which means how many comments and likes you're getting per post. To increase engagement, you need to make yourself more available and open to follower interaction, and you can go beyond the Instagram comment section to achieve this!

Callmart is a new charged communication app that makes you available to your followers for one-to-one interaction when they pay a fee that you decide. This will give a super boost to your engagement rate because followers will feel more like you're a real person than just someone behind a screen.

3. Don't forget about links

Another way to monetize your Instagram account is to use affiliate links. You will work with a brand to link to a specific product underneath a photo and get paid per click and purchase. Some influencers will add the links into their bio too, but you'll need to negotiate with the brand to decide.

Tip: Remember to pick and choose your hashtags carefully when you're posting content with affiliate links. They should be relevant to the product you're advertising but also popular enough that they will likely attract more engagement and followers.
