In this post you will find 10 proven ways on how to be the next next Instagram influencer in your space. As you can imagine, in this post we’ll cover the most important factors that will help you make it or break it as an influencer.
Influencers make money off their followers…and we mean REAL money.
Did you know that you can make as much as $10,000 per Instagram post? (And if you’re not using Instagram for income, you’re missing out!)
I’ve scouted social media influencers in all of the major industries, and the one thing they all have in common is an active, loyal following. So let’s dive into the 10 proven ways to make Instagram an endless source of income.
Step 1: Identify Your Audience
Here’s the first step you need to do to make money off Instagram. If you can identify your ideal audience, you’re golden.
Instagram has tons of tools and data points that can help you fine-tune your audience profile and pinpoint your ideal demographic. You can determine how many followers you need, how many likes and comments you should aim for, and even get a breakdown of which ages, genders, and verticals make up your ideal followers.
Plus, if you’re uploading new content daily, you’ll need to keep an eye on all of these stats. How do you define a DAILY upload?
What accounts are following you?
What comments are getting you the most attention?
What hashtags are on fire?
Once you’ve laid down the basics, follow these steps:
Follow a specific group of accounts that has been performing well with you. There are already a ton of data-driven tools that can help you identify the best accounts and set up direct messages and emails with them. For instance, myfeedcaster.com will give you a ton of metrics that will help you track success with your specific account. This one is an amazing tool.
Create a list of 100-150 accounts you want to start following.
Drop your favorite accounts to your Daily Follow List.
Add a few new accounts you want to follow.
Once you’ve done that, you can look at your Daily Follow list to see how many people you have on the list that you haven’t yet followed. If you’re not seeing a lot of interaction, start following more accounts on the list.
Use the red arrow in your tab to see the actual number of people you’ve unfollowed on the list.
Use the green arrow in the tab to see the actual number of new accounts you’ve followed.
Keep on following people who have unfollowed you until you start seeing a difference.
Then you can start increasing your number of followers to keep up the conversation.
To make your Daily Follow List go further, make sure you follow anyone who has a strong engagement rate with you.
If an account is liking and commenting on your photos, that’s an important component of your Instagram feed. Pay attention to who likes and comments on your photos to determine if they’re the right ones to follow.
Set up direct messages (DMs) with them to ask questions that only you can answer. You’re going to make up the topic for your direct messages. If you see someone with a strong engagement rate, be sure to follow them.
Follow a lot of people with a high engagement rate, but don’t blindly follow anyone just because they have a high engagement rate. Make sure you’re clicking through their profiles to get more of their backstory. People who have a high engagement rate are going to appreciate you’re taking the time to understand them more.
