monetization refers to the process of generating revenue from your Instagram account.<\/strong> It involves implementing strategies and leveraging your account's content, engagement, and influence to earn money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can monetize your Instagram account through sponsored posts, brand partnerships, affiliate marketing, direct selling of products or services, and other monetization methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Ways to Monetize Your Instagram Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Monetizing your Instagram account involves tactics like publishing sponsored posts, gaining brand partnerships, becoming an affiliate, selling products or services, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve covered some of the most profitable Instagram monetization techniques and <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-marketing-tips\/\">pro tips<\/a> that will help you make money. You\u2019ll also find real examples of creators and brands putting these strategies to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn how to monetize your account on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Leverage Affiliate Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest ways to monetize Instagram is by <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-to-become-an-affiliate-marketer\/\">becoming an affiliate<\/a> marketer on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, you work as a brand ambassador for certain products that you use and believe in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your audience may find it helpful if you share a link or discount code with them for the products you\u2019re promoting on your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an affiliate marketer, whenever someone buys a product using your custom link, <strong>you get a certain percentage of the product sales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how can you create an affiliate marketing campaign?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create an affiliate marketing campaign from scratch, I recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/recommends\/shareasale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ShareASale<\/a>. This comprehensive tool makes the entire process of affiliate marketing simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create campaigns for social media, apps, and websites using this tool and can start off with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part about this platform is that it also helps you track the progress of your campaign, giving you an overview of how well it\u2019s performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a good example of what that looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cassie Andrew pairs a high-quality image with a compelling copy. Note how she\u2019s incentivizing people to buy using a special discount code.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-using-instagram-1024x653.png\" alt=\"affiliate marketing using instagram\" class=\"wp-image-62885\" width=\"768\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-using-instagram-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-using-instagram-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-using-instagram-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-using-instagram.png 1109w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bb1bSh_h5hh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Earn Through Sponsored Posts and Shoutouts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you achieve \u201cinfluencer\u201d status, be it as <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/macro-vs-micro-influencer-marketing-campaign\/\">micro or macro-influencer<\/a>, you could leverage your influence to promote brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have established your thought leadership in your niche, you can monetize Instagram for a profit. Oftentimes, brands partner with <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-to-become-an-instagram-influencer-and-earn\/\">influencers<\/a> for sponsored posts that help spread the word about their offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, such posts revolve around the product, describing a review you\u2019ve made of it. It\u2019s important that such sponsored posts should blend in with your other content so as to not appear overly promotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you\u2019re a plus-sized apparel influencer, then you want to be working with brands that promote body positivity. That\u2019s why Gabi, here, often partners with brands like Premme because they align with her personal values.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sponsored-posts-shoutouts-instagram-1024x667.png\" alt=\"sponsored posts shoutouts instagram\" class=\"wp-image-62886\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sponsored-posts-shoutouts-instagram-1024x667.png 1024w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sponsored-posts-shoutouts-instagram-768x500.png 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sponsored-posts-shoutouts-instagram-150x98.png 150w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/sponsored-posts-shoutouts-instagram.png 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpaWMHBh8YE\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now, Instagram also lets you add a \u201c<strong>Paid Partnership<\/strong>\u201d label to your sponsored content.

Offer Subscriptions for Your Loyal Followers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram also allows creators to<strong> offer paid subscriptions <\/strong>to their most loyal fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Instagram Subscriptions, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Offer exclusive and premium content to your subscribers, including Stories, Live streams, Reels, posts, and subscriber-only group chats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your loyal followers pay a small monthly subscription fee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get paid directly through Instagram<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a perfect way to monetize your Instagram account if you\u2019ve already built a loyal fan base that are willing to pay a small fee for exclusive access to your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>New content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products or services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online workshops and training programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: The Mexican American artist, Chanel Kreuzer, offers subscriptions to her exclusive content fo<strong>r $1.99 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/instagram-subscriptions.png\" alt=\"Instagram Subscriptions\" class=\"wp-image-76123\" width=\"374\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/instagram-subscriptions.png 498w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/instagram-subscriptions-150x226.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscreen.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chanelkreuzer-instagram-subscription.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, Instagram Subscriptions are currently available in selected regions only like the US. So, you may not be able to benefit from them if you live elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Promote and Sell Your Own Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the above premise, you can always do for yourself what you would otherwise do for brands in order to make money on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confused?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a strong personal brand and aren\u2019t too keen on promoting other companies on your page, you could always market your own products via Instagram Shopping and even create your own online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top real estate firm, VIP Realty, does a great job of promoting their real estate listings on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They share posts with virtual home tours to entice potential home buyers. This way, they can generate solid leads from social media and monetize their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/advertise-your-products.png\" alt=\"advertise your products\" class=\"wp-image-62887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/advertise-your-products.png 498w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/advertise-your-products-150x138.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As long as you have an ardent fan following, you can easily monetize Instagram this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design and sell your own products like clothing, books, merchandise, cosmetics, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the items you intend to sell relate to your niche and resonate with your audience, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-on-instagram\/\">Instagram Shopping and your own online store to sell them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cartoonist, Nekoma, has done well for herself by starting her own store and then leveraging Instagram to promote it.

Teach What You Are Good At<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People follow you on Instagram for a reason. They love your content and are looking to learn from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why not teach them how to do what you\u2019re good at?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Zach Rocheleau uses the platform to teach his followers how to make a healthier version of their favorite junk food.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/teach-followers-what-you-know-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"teach followers what you know\" class=\"wp-image-76125\" width=\"768\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/teach-followers-what-you-know-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/teach-followers-what-you-know-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/teach-followers-what-you-know-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/teach-followers-what-you-know.jpg 1094w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqI-Ap2nv_t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To teach your audience what you are good at, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Create and sell ebooks <\/strong>that educate people about what you know best.

Publish Product Placement Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Product placements have been around since the dawn of video advertisements. And there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t do the same to monetize Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you create a video that features you using a product and then earn some money for advertising it. Product <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/explainer-videos\/\">explainer videos<\/a>, DIYs, testimonials, or even quirky shorts are a good way to go about producing such videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a product placement video from Linustech\u2019s Instagram account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They created a Reel promoting Roborock Global\u2019s Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and even offered a giveaway if users liked the Reel, followed both accounts on Instagram, and tagged a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/product-placement-videos.jpg\" alt=\"product placement videos\" class=\"wp-image-76126\" width=\"763\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/product-placement-videos.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/product-placement-videos-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/product-placement-videos-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CfFXsGhlZTr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Instagram also allows you to add shopping tags to the products in your feed posts, Stories, and Reels.

Enable Ads on Your Instagram Reels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 2022, Instagram only offered in-stream video ads, but as the content consumption of users changed, Instagram also made some changes to its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-reel-on-instagram\/\">Instagram Reels<\/a> at the forefront, Instagram created a new ad-revenue sharing system for Reels and removed the pre- and post-ad monetization options. Reels will be able to be monetized with an ad placed before or after the Reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meta is also testing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creators\/tools\/ads-on-facebook-reels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overlay ads<\/a> which are currently being used on Facebook but should soon make their way to Instagram Reels as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram is pushing Reels as the main way to consume video content on Instagram as its format is very similar to TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be eligible, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a creator account on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Earn Milestone Bonuses on Instagram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creators\/investing-one-billion-in-the-creator-community?content_id=KwTkBKNbPIoRCZq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bonus programs<\/a> to attract creators to publish and monetize content on the platform.

It takes more than just a catchy Instagram name, quirky description, and posting photos to make money on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might work well to impress your personal circle, but it takes a lot of hard work and patience to monetize your <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/grow-your-instagram-account\/\">Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make money on Instagram:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Fanbase and Influence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The question you need to ask yourself is why would businesses be willing to pay an Instagram user, like you, money for <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-much-do-influencers-charge\/\">sponsored content<\/a>. They would do so to gain exposure and access to your audience, in the hopes of selling their products to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting out, you probably don't have a ton of Instagram followers yet. This means you'll be unlikely to drive sales for your own or a brand\u2019s products through sponsored posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many Instagram followers do you need to make money on Instagram?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/grow-followers-on-instagram-organically\/\">grow your follower count, organically<\/a>, to at least a few thousand Instagram followers to be able to have an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should measure the performance of your Instagram posts using <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/recommends\/hashtagsforlikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">HashtagsForLikes<\/a>. Their analytics feature, based on open data and AI technologies, can help you discover what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily identify the top-performing Instagram posts and hashtags in your niche and use them to grow your followers and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But reach, alone, isn\u2019t enough. To <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/sales-and-lead-generation\/\">generate sales<\/a>, you need to create and share compelling Instagram posts, Stories, Reels, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/recommends\/prowritingaid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ProWritingAid<\/a> to help. Your followers have to take action based on your product recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, having a reach and an influence over the purchasing power of your fanbase is critical. Here\u2019s what an Instagram sales funnel looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-sales-funnel.png\" alt=\"Instagram sales funnel\" class=\"wp-image-62878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-sales-funnel.png 600w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/instagram-sales-funnel-150x77.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediaexaminer.com\/how-to-analyze-instagram-marketing-4-metrics-to-consider\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Dedicated and Engaged Followers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a sizable follower count, mathematically, increases your chances of appearing in the feeds of more users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what\u2019s the point of that if your Instagram followers don\u2019t engage with you or your content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/increase-instagram-engagement\/\">trick to increasing engagement<\/a> is to create content that solves certain content needs for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how can you measure that? Not by the number of followers you have, but by the number of people liking, commenting on, and sharing your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have engaged followers, brands will be more willing to invest in you to drive their profits through sponsored content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just take a look at Jenna Farmer. She has a relatively small audience of around 4,900 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, she still managed to garner 151 likes and 15 comments on this post promoting Tyne Cheese. That\u2019s a very respectable engagement rate of 4.2% (approx).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpnCWjuhuC8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Leverage the Right Hashtags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashtags are a great way to improve the discoverability and reach of your content. While Instagram allows you to use a maximum of 30 hashtags, I personally recommend using 10-15 for the maximum effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when creating sponsored posts, it\u2019s crucial to get your hashtags right to ensure that they can create the maximum effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how can you find the right hashtags?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-hashtag-generator-tools\/\">Instagram hashtag generator tools<\/a> out there that can do the groundwork for you. Based on your niche, they can send you a list of the most popular hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is there are many tools for hashtag generation. And not all of them are genuine. If you are new to the field, you may struggle to filter out the wheat from the chaff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save you some time, I\u2019ve got a recommendation for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/recommends\/hashtagsforlikes?tid2=_amcid_11n0nn00mvb23mnn113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">HashtagsForLikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This AI-powered <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/hashtag-research-tools\/\">hashtag research tool<\/a> can help you get in-depth insights into each hashtag so that you can figure out if it\u2019s worth using it. All you need to do is enter the hashtag, and the tool will do the work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not all\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool can also find the right hashtags for your Instagram page and bio. Just enter your Instagram handle and the tool will find the best hashtags for your Instagram Stories, posts, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, though, you shouldn\u2019t be using any random hashtags. Try using ones that are relevant to your posts and will help you reach out to bigger audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to get creative and witty with your hashtags, as well. The Brothers Buoy sure knows how to do this right as you can see in the post below:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-right-hashtags_1.jpg\" alt=\"Example of adding witty and relevant hashtags\" class=\"wp-image-76133\" width=\"764\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-right-hashtags_1.jpg 1019w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-right-hashtags_1-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-right-hashtags_1-150x105.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqIVrLXHKep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Have a Snappy Bio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether you\u2019re a business or an individual trying to monetize Instagram, you need to post wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your profile bio is valuable real estate on your Instagram page and you can leverage it to pitch to first-time visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d advise that you have a simple, crisp, and perhaps quirky, <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-bio-ideas\/\">bio<\/a>. Showcase your creativity and what value you might add to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's take a look at Luvvie for inspiration. Her bio is catchy and visually appealing, establishing her brand's credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/have-a-snappy-bio.jpg\" alt=\"Good bio example\" class=\"wp-image-76134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/have-a-snappy-bio.jpg 940w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/have-a-snappy-bio-768x290.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/have-a-snappy-bio-150x57.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/luvvie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/spaces-in-instagram\/\">use spaces in your bio<\/a> and Instagram captions to make the copy more breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Be Consistent with Your Instagram Posting Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To nurture any relationship, you need to interact with each other on a regular basis. The same principle extends to your presence on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to make money on Instagram, you need to post content and engage your followers on a regular basis. It helps to set up a fixed posting schedule. One that aligns with the times your audience is most likely to be on the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/recommends\/tailwind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tailwind<\/a>, there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/blog\/how-often-should-i-post-to-instagram-at-least-once-per-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">positive correlation<\/a> between the frequency of posting and engagement rates. Not only that, but the more you post on Instagram, the faster your audience will also grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take this to a whole new level by regularly interacting with your followers in the comment section of each post. This will go a long way to show your followers that you genuinely care and appreciate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jenn, here, is a great example of that.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/interact-on-regular-basis-instagram_1.jpg\" alt=\"Example of interacting with your followers on social media\" class=\"wp-image-76135\" width=\"713\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/interact-on-regular-basis-instagram_1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/interact-on-regular-basis-instagram_1-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/interact-on-regular-basis-instagram_1-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bp8uahmhplh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip: <\/strong>Leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-analytics-tools\/\">Instagram analytics tools<\/a> to keep track of your follower growth and engagement rate and figure out <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/how-many-instagram-posts-per-day\/\">how many Instagram posts you should publish each day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Improve Your Instagram Content Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things you need to do to monetize Instagram is to improve your content quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of content creators out there vying for the attention of your target audience. Standing out in this sea, then, is more than a task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-image-size\/\">high-quality images<\/a> and never repeat your product pitches. Base your captions on your actual experiences with brand products to come off as genuine and more engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you should strongly consider leveraging video content in the form of Instagram Stories or even on IGTV to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a page out of Colin McCarthy\u2019s playbook and rake in those engagements by leveraging video content.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-video-content-of-high-quality-on-social-media.jpeg\" alt=\"Leverage video content of high quality on social media\" class=\"wp-image-76137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-video-content-of-high-quality-on-social-media.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/leverage-video-content-of-high-quality-on-social-media-150x111.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqGDiCoFG6X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
