How to make money on Instagram in 2019 and 2020 (Whether you've got 1K or 100K Followers)

The first and easiest method to make money on Instagram is growing a theme account and then selling shoutouts. A shoutout is another term for a promotion. Someone pays you to post on your Instagram account.

People buy shoutouts for many different reasons. Most of them just want to promote their product on your Instagram account for your followers. However, some of them just want to post on your account so they can get more exposure to grow their own Instagram account. Most people use the DMs to contact you, agree on a price, and schedule everything there. But there are also other ways like listing your account on a website like Shoutcast or Plug Hype.

So they can contact you there and also pay you through that platform. Selling shoutouts is, in my opinion, the easiest way to make money on Instagram because there isn't much skill required. They contact you, you tell them the price. Then they send you the payment and the post. And then you post it, done. The hardest part of this first method is growing the audience. Unless you already own one or multiple Instagram accounts with thousands of followers, it's going to take time to build up that follower account so you can start to sell shoutouts. In my experience, you start to get shoutout requests at around 10K followers.

let's move on to the second way you can make money on Instagram which is flipping Instagram accounts. This means that you buy existing Instagram accounts at a relatively low price. And then resell it at a higher price. The difference in price will then be your profit. The reason why this works quite well is because most people don't know what an account is worth. So they are willing to sell for a quite low price and buy for a very high price. And the second reason is because many people just wanna get rid of an account fast because it takes them up a lot of time to keep it going because they have to keep posting content. So they just want to get rid of it and are willing to sell for a very low price. I recently talked to

 somebody who bought a 500K car account for 3,000 dollars and then resold it for 40,000 dollars to somebody from SaudiArabia who just wanted to show off his cars on that account. So with just one flip, he made over 35,000 dollars. If you wanna get into flipping accounts, I would suggest you start with a small budget that you're comfortable playing around with. Don't go all-in in the beginning because you need to buildup your knowledge first so you can tell the difference between a good deal and a bad deal. That's the key to making money here. I personally only buy accounts that I know I could sell immediately, and that is also easy to grow on auto-pilot. I usually don't resell right away. What I do is I set them up in my automation software and let them grow for a couple of months. Then I resell for a nice profit. Also, be aware that there are a lot of scammers in this business. So never just trust somebody that you don't know. Use a middleman for the transaction. Or go through an escrow service like Flipmass or SWAPD.com.

Okay, so the third way you can make money on Instagram that I wanna share with you is by growing and selling theme accounts. It's one of my favorite methods. And it's the one that has been the most creative for me. What you do is you grow accounts from scratch in niches like fitness, travel, food, and so on. And you can do all of that by using an automation software so you can set it up once and then just wait until the accounts are big enough so you can sell them for a nice profit. To sell them, you can just open a sales thread on a forum like EpicNPC.
