With 500 million users worldwide and more than 10 million in France alone, Instagram is a must-have social network for anyone interested in marketing.
In this article, I will give you 5 different ways to sell your products or make money on Instagram.
1.AFFILIATION
Small reminder, the affiliation what is it?
If I had to summarize quickly, I would say that the affiliation is to promote the products of a third in exchange for a percentage of every sale made thanks to this promotion.
Basically, on the internet, we have an affiliate link and when a customer buys through our affiliate link we receive a commission.
The commission varies according to the product sold.
Digital products are the products with the highest commissions, from 50 to 100%.
While real products will very often (very) hardly reach the 10%.
What relationship with Instagram will you tell me?
You can promote a product and put this affiliate link in your bio.
You will not forget to use a URL shortener first and then you must clearly indicate that a link to the product you posted is available from your bio.
The only negative point, you will have to change the link to each new product. But hey, it's harder.
I understand, where do I find affiliate products to promote?
If you want to promote real products, the most known platform and that of Amazon and its Amazon partner program.
If you prefer to promote digital products, then the best-known platform will be Clickbank or if you are looking for a French affiliate program it will be 1TPE.
So you can offer your subscribers products that you liked or you can offer them good deals. You can get inspired by a reference site for this Deals and adapt it to Instagram or just see good deals for you, I love this site (I do not touch commission to say that)
Last way to do, if you have an account rather fashion or deco you will use another style of an affiliate program. These are a few private programs, you have to apply to be able to enter. Nothing insurmountable does worry you.
For example, you will have Zanox who makes the affiliation with Zalando and La Redoute (and others) for fashion or Conforama for decoration.
So the same, you join the affiliate program, you take a picture with your clothes from Zalando, you put an affiliate link in your bio. You do all this neatly and you left to win your first euros!
2.SPONSORED POSTS
If you become really influential then you will surely receive proposals from brands or creators for you to talk about their product.
It's up to you to see if you want to pay the promo already, under what conditions if yes, do you prevent your audience whether it's sponsored or not, etc.?
3.SELL YOUR PHOTOS
If you have a talent for photography you can also sell your photos. I present you three.
On Snapwire, the site gives a challenge to the site's photographers. Like, a buyer makes a request like "brown woman who eats an ice cream". Photographers send corresponding on demand. The buyer chooses his favorites (which increases the ranking of these photographers). The best photos can be selected to enter the market and at that moment everyone will be able to buy them. If your photo is chosen after a challenge or a request, then the photographer will earn 70% of the price, and if it is bought by the market or through his profile, he earns 50% of the price of the photo.
Instaprints allows you to create objects based on your photos (Instagram or not) and buy its objects. If you have the entrepreneurial spirit and your photos are very pleasing, nothing prevents you from offering these objects (really varied) for sale in the colors of your photos.
Finally, Twenty20 allows users to create their own online gallery by uploading images via their website or with an iPhone application so that they can show them to as many people as possible. Then there are different sales methods that can bring photographers up to 100% of the price.
4.SELL YOUR ACCOUNT
You can also sell your Instagram account, including Frame swap. Of course, if you have 10 subscribers who fight duels forget this method. The minimum number of subscribers required depends on your theme and prices vary depending on the theme and the number of subscribers.
Some accounts of a few thousand users are selling for thousands of dollars sometimes.
5.PROMOTE YOUR OWN ACTIVITY
Last method and by far my favorite, promote its own products.
All the methods seen previously in the article will make you earn money but it will make it especially win the one who proposes to you the affiliation (except in the numerical one).
So I'm going to apply this last method right now even if we're not on Instagram now if you read his sentences.
If you ever make money with Instagram you're interested but despite this article, you still have questions I created a training for you.
You can find it at the end of this article that I advise you to read. You will find other advice on the sale but especially on the mentality to adopt before you can sell on Instagram. And in the training, I will show you the latest selling techniques on Instagram whether your products or in affiliation.
