3 Ways To Make Money On Instagram: Get Followers!

   

     Alright Instagram fans, it's time to do what we all love to do! we are going to start the process of following all the lovely people who follow the big time accounts in your particular niche. A couple things here. Make sure you are following the followers of the big accounts in your niche and also following all the people who liked the pic's of the big account in your niche. I know its confusing as all get out but if you re-read it a bunch and work at it, it will start to come together.


     Right off the bat, you are going to want to like as many pic's that are related to your niche as you can. You should have no problem liking 500 pic's a day. I personally would do 1k. If you wanna lean more on the safe side then stick to around 500. By liking other peoples pic's some people will do the same and like yours. and then even some others will start to follow you. Liking other followers pic's is a very important piece of the plan. You have to interact with other followers if you have hopes of keeping your engagement high.

     You want to keep your engagement high so that when its time to make money off your account, your engagement is going to have a HUGE effect on how much you are able to make. Take a single pic and add the comments and the likes together. Now divide that by the total amount of followers you have. If that number isn't 10% or better after you hit 2k to 3k, you might want to consider starting over.

     So, you need to follow the #hashtags first. That will give you your first followers and your leads to the big accounts in your niche. Now you follow all the people who follow the big accounts in your niche. Follow the people liking the pic's of the big accounts in your niche. Its best if you can catch the pic when its freshly posted. The earlier the better.

     Some believe that you should only follow public profiles but I'm in the camp of just follow everyone. when you get close to the max available you can follow (7.5k) you'll most likely not be able to follow anyone anymore. That's because you have people that you are still waiting on the request for them to follow you. Don't worry, I'll save you the trouble. They're never going to follow you. Just follow until you can't anymore. Instagram will let you know in a rather annoying fashion of not telling you and just not approving your request to get more followers.

     Its going to take for ever. This part sucks and this is where most people give up. between 3k and 7k people lose the will to continue growing an account. STICK WITH IT!!! Believe it or not, this time goes buy quickly but after a ton of clicks people get restless.

     The rule of thumb is to follow up till you get to 7k people you are following. This is basically 1k followers a day. After you do that, I like to let my account sit for a couple of days to let everyone get a chance to start following you. After a couple of days you can now start the process of unfollowing.

     Same thing goes for unfollowing as you did for following. Unfollow 1k of the people you are following everyday till you get down to zero. This part really sucks because you wont see the great gains you did while you were following others. This is the time when you must up your game and like as many pic's as your little heart can take. It will trickle in some followers and you will see some small gains during this time.

     There is one app that I actually would suggest to help you and that's Followers Insight and its available at the Google Play Store. When I tested it, it allowed you to unfollow up to 130 followers at a time before Instagram would prompt you with some form of verification. I just unfollowed up to 130 people you were following and I never had a problem with it. If you're leery about unfollowing that many at once then unfollow what you feel comfortable with.

     Alright so you've did a couple of rounds of following up to the max and unfollowing down to zero and things are driving you more  crazy then ever I'm guessing. Now is where the fun starts to slowly seep in. you should be in the 10k up to 20k level of followers. Now its time to do "share for share's". This is where you are going to promote another Instagramer's account and they yours. Now the terms of the mutual sharing can be negotiated. Just make sure you both are happy with the agreement because you want to continue to help each other out. To find other people looking to trade shares with is actually easy. Just find an account that's about your size to 5k and message them asking them if they are interested in doing a "s4s". If you can get a bigger account to that to help you then all the better. Most likely they are going to want to be paid to do a "shout-out" for you. Its up to you if you want to pay people or not. I will say that it will grow your account much faster if you have the funds to do so.

     Around the 10k followers level and up, you might get asked to do a "shout-out". Never do a shout-out for free. Either share mutually or accept money for helping them grow their account. If you do it even once, it will never stop. I highly recommend you don't do something for nothing unless you personally know the person.

     Now that brings us to making money! The moment we've all been waiting for. Its time to cash in on all your hard work! I know of three good ways to bring home the bacon on Instagram.

     1.) Doing shout-outs. You can't go wrong doing shout-outs and its really profitable. Make sure you always get them to suggest the first dollar amounts for doing a shout-out for them. This lets you know where their head is when it comes to paying for shout-outs. Remember even if you don't like the price try to haggle a little bit. Up the price by five and counter offer. Another great Idea is to agree to the price straight away but only on the condition that they do TWO shout-outs. One this week and one next. Either way, think really hard before you let that Instagramer go off to the next guy and pay him for weeks on weeks.

     2.) The wonderful and most awesome CPA. I have three CPA networks that I would suggest here and they are CPALead.com, CPAgrip.com and last but not least, Ogmobi.com. CPA's are "cost per actions", meaning that you get an email address of someone or get someone to take a survey and the respective network pays you a small commission. They're other kinds of CPA's and with large pay outs but these are what I will suggest in this method.
     You're going to want to sign up with all three of these networks. Trust me they are worth it. Depending on your niche is which company you would use. You will have to check out what "offers" they have available and choose from them. Now this is what you are going to do. You need to set up a website to place in your "website" section of your profile. You need to have it set up like a "landing page" so that when people come to your site, they have but one thing to do...click your link. They click the link and you get paid. There are other ways you can do this basic idea with CPA's but honestly we would be here forever talking about it.

   3.) Sell your account?!?!?! After all that hard work sometimes its just not worth it anymore. Maybe your niche is dying out or you just moved on to bigger and better things. My last option would be to tell your account. I don't really suggest doing this because its much more useful as a traffic source and you will only get pennies on the dollar for them. This one you are going to have to figure out on your own. What you are willing to part ways with is different then mine. so the best of luck if this is your route.

     Dollar bills are starting to rain on you like you are in a hurricane! Now its time to reinvest some money back into your account and reach for the stars! Buy as many shout-outs as you possibly can to steam roll your account into the six figure level of followers. When you get up in the 100k to 500k you have arrived! You'll be able to command 50-100$ a shout-out and with your CPA tied in, you really should be making couple hundred to upwards of 1k EVERY DAY!

     Congrats on your new found Journey and I wish you nothing but love on your travels!
