How to Monetize Your Instagram Like a Pro

Naturally, to monetise your Instagram, you need to be recognised as a "micro-influencer." A micro-influencer engages with their followers and is trusted as a knowledgeable source by a smaller, niche, following. If you have achieved this, you can immediately start to monetise your Instagram account.

First, you can make money by selling affiliate products. By attaching an affiliate link to your Instagram post, you can cash in from the sales commission when your followers make a purchase.

You can also sell your products or by optimising a dropshipping service. If you have a passion for creating your own branded products, you can do so. However, if you lack the time, dropshipping is the way to go to sell self-branded items.

Influencer marketing is on the rise, and brands can pay you a flat fee per post for sponsored content on your Instagram feed. The price for a sponsored content varies depending on the number of followers, engagement, and the brand's popularity.

Finally, teaching valuable knowledge to your followers will bring high value to your brand, especially in the long run. You can share valuable insight through an educational platform such as Skillshare and promote it on your Instagram.

In conclusion, Instagram is not just a superb platform to share your passion, but it can also be a creative tool to pay the bills.
