00:00Instagram is paying craters like never before and in this video I'm going to show you 10 ways that you can get your piece of the pie and get that money, get paid from Instagram and using it.

00:15So if you're not sure how Instagram works, real quickly, Reels is really just up to 90 seconds and they can be seen by everybody. And Stories, if you're not sure the difference, they're up to 60 seconds and only seen by your followers.

00:32And there's also posts and vibes. But the algorithm, it works very similar to TikTok, meaning the more people that reach the end of your video, the better it does. Likes, comments, shares are all good and that pushes it so the more people can see it.

00:50More watch time is better. The longer people watch the video, it's better. And of course, the more people that click on it.

00:57So the number one way, a great way to make money with Instagram passively, and you may not have thought about this, is by selling your photos and videos.

01:11And there really is just one place that owns 70% of the market. But there's others as well. And it's really cool. I've been doing this all the time.

01:18Like old travel photos of weird crap I've been posting as well. And a video can make more money from. And a video should be around 6 to 10 seconds long.

01:32And it's all based on supply and demands, right? So if you see something strange, take a picture of it. Because you can make money off of it. And a video.

01:41All right. And the hardest part about this really is all the metadata, you know, the tag, description, titles.

01:49And the cool thing is ChatGPT can help, where you just plug this formula into it, and it'll spit it out, and you just paste it.

01:57So it makes it very fast. And a few tips is landscape photos do better, right, than portrait.

02:03They sell for more. And there's something, there's two types. There's editorial content, and there's commercial.

02:09And editorial is better, because you don't have to sign, like, waivers and crap. It's just easier.

02:16So that's number one. Number two is, of course, affiliate marketing.

02:20And affiliate marketing is probably the easiest way to make money.

02:23So all you do is you recommend a product, and somebody buys it, you get paid.

02:28You don't need followers. And, I mean, how it'll work is you can stick an affiliate link in your profile.

02:34And at the end of your video, be like, hey, check out my profile for more, and if somebody clicks on it, well, you get paid.

02:42Okay? It's really that easy.

02:44And most companies have an affiliate product. They're all over the place.

02:50Even better is a landing page.

02:52This is where you set up a landing page, and you collect emails in exchange for giving someone a gift.

03:00And there's a lot more you can do with email, as you can see from the computer screen.

03:06But generally, you just make a lot more.

03:09You can make a whole way, way more money with email and landing page than just selling one affiliate product.

03:15But the key is you have to kind of know what you're doing with email, so there is some training involved in this as well.

03:22Because a lot of people get this wrong.

03:24All right.

03:25Next up is Reels, Ads, and Revenue Sharing, where they show ads and you get paid.

03:33And the creator receives 55% of the money, and Instagram keeps 45% of it.

03:40But the problem is, is you need a lot of followers, like 10,000.

03:44It's a lot.

03:45And it's only available in a few countries, like Japan, U.S., South Korea, stuff like that.

03:52And if you do qualify, you'll get an invite from the app and email.

03:59Moving on, the next way is to sell your own products.

04:02I know what you're thinking.

04:03That's a pain.

04:04I don't want to do that.

04:05It's a lot of work.

04:06But there's something called PLR, or Private Label Rights.

04:12And what that means is you own the product.

04:15You keep 100% of the money.

04:17You can do whatever you want to do with the product.

04:19You can give it away as bonuses and gifts if you want.

04:24And you don't have to create the product.

04:27It's the coolest thing in the world.

04:29And there's all kinds of these products out there.

04:31So it's a great, great thing to check out.

04:33Another thing is e-books.

04:37Now, I love e-books.

04:39E-books have more uses than MacGyver with gum and a knife.

04:46That was that show in the 80s where the guy can do, like, anything with random objects and stuff.

04:54Basically, they have a lot of uses.

04:56There's tons you could do with it.

04:58But, yeah.

04:58And there's software that makes e-books very easy to make.

05:02And you can stick your affiliate products directly in the e-book.

05:06So they're amazing.

05:07And there's other ways, too.

05:08Okay?

05:08Just sharing with you some ideas.

05:11Next up is Instagram Reels for brand partnerships and sponsorships.

05:17You're probably thinking, what are you talking about?

05:20Well, you could do, like, a shout-out for a brand, and it could be a one-time thing, or it could be a few times, and you get paid.

05:30Now, partnerships are more long-term, you know, like that.

05:34And I'm sure you have lots of questions, like, well, how much would you charge, and how do you find them, and how many followers do you need?

05:43Well, there's a really cool website here, and it can kind of break it down, like, you choose your category, your followers, and stuff like that.

05:54And it'll give you a range on how much you can charge.

05:57For example, for just 1,000 followers, I have more than that, at 10% engagement, you can get $62 to $93 a post.

06:08That's not bad.

06:09That's actually really good.

06:11And how you find them is usually a company could DM you or send you an email.

06:17That's why having your contact information on there is kind of a good idea.

06:20And you can always reach out to them as well and make an offer.

06:24Most companies have some type of affiliate program or something.

06:28One more tip, too, and this is some people don't think about this, but if you give a company a lot of business, you can always just ask for a little bump of a percentage range because they don't want to lose you.

06:41All right.

06:41So next up, I don't know what number this is, but you could use Instagram to promote a website.

06:48And this is what I do as well.

06:49It could be an e-commerce site, a blog, a landing page.

06:53And the cool thing about owning a website is you own it, and you can do what you want with it.

06:59You make more money with ad revenue if you run ads on it.

07:05And you can also put, like with a blog, affiliate links directly in the post.

07:09So it's so cool.

07:11I highly recommend owning a website.

07:13It's more stable, too.

07:14It's not as risky.

07:16All right.

07:16So that's another thing you do.

07:19Like a blog, you could promote your blog and then make money from it as well.

07:24All right.

07:26Next up, there's something called Patreon.

07:28And to tell you the truth, I've never really been a big fan of Patreon.

07:33It's almost like begging, you know.

07:34But, hey, some people like it, use it, enjoy it.

07:37And how it works is if somebody signs up, they pay, like, a fee every month.

07:42And in return, you, like the creator, would give them bonus, like early access, behind the scenes, live streams, personal experiences.

07:52So it's kind of like upgrading your content after a while.

07:57Okay.

07:58Next up is buy me a coffee.

08:00This is where you just straight up ask them for the money, right?

08:04They don't buy you a coffee.

08:05They give you money.

08:08You know, it's a funny sign here.

08:12Erotic mess massage.

08:13But the good news about buy me a coffee is you keep 95% of the money.

08:19That's not bad.

08:21And you just tell someone, hey, buy me a coffee.

08:24Like, give me money.

08:26And in order to cash out, you need 10 bucks in your account.

08:29And they have other cool things, too, like memberships with different tiers of benefits.

08:34They have a shop where you can sell crap.

08:36And they even have, like, an email thing, too, where you can send out emails.

08:41All right.

08:43Next up is UGC content.

08:46And this is some really cool stuff here.

08:49This stands for user-generated content.

08:53And what companies will do, they'll pay normal people to create almost like a normal video or like an ad, right?

09:01But not an ad.

09:03And just saying good things about a product.

09:07And you can make a lot of money from this.

09:10Like a lot of money.

09:11And Fiverr is a great place for this.

09:13And a few tips with Fiverr is if you go on there and play, right, you can't change our user name.

09:21So choose wisely.

09:23Also, a professional photo of your face looks good, you know, and this works even better if you use the product, you know, and you like it.

09:34Because here's the trick.

09:35Because here's the trick.

09:37You don't want to just promote random stuff that you don't like just to make money.

09:42I guess you could, but kind of like losing your soul almost, right?

09:47It reminds me of that back in the days, all those celebrities that were promoting FTX, that exchange, right?

09:53And they made a ton of money.

09:55And the exchange collapses.

09:57I mean, oh, my God.

09:58So, you know, you don't want to lose your soul just to make a few dollars.

10:05So you just want to make sure you promote good stuff.

10:07And what I, you know, my saying is would you promote that product to your mom or your very close friend?

10:15If not, don't promote it to anybody else, okay?

10:18That's just something that you could say.

10:21Okay, so that's just kind of the tip of the iceberg.

10:24I actually created a, what's really cool, it's a whole system on short videos where one little short video that you make takes no effort, you know?

10:33And you can repost that video to, like, tons of places.

10:37Instagram is just part of it.

10:39There's way more.

10:40I have a whole system on how to do this.

10:43And, you know, you can make a lot of money with a little effort, free traffic.

10:47And if you want to learn more about how to make more money with Instagram as well as other platforms like, you know, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, there's a ton of them out there, then I'll put this video somewhere on the screen and I'll put it down in the description as well if you're curious.

11:04But it works and I highly recommend it.

11:07I do it and it rocks.

11:10Okay, anyways, hopefully this was helpful.

11:12You have a wonderful rest of your day.

11:14Bye.
