Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,090 So the first way to grow your following on Instagram is to pay for sponsored ads. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,350 You will need to have your Facebook account and a Facebook page to run ads on Instagram. 3 00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:16,240 So if you didn't sign up for an advertising account on Facebook yet do so at Facebook dot com backslash 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,200 ads backslash manager next or shout outs you can search the hash tag. 5 00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:27,720 As for s this is shout out for shout out a shout out is when you promote someone else's account to your 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,720 own followers. 7 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:35,820 You can request a post exchange by commenting on a photo hashtag espress or simply send direct messages 8 00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:37,990 to the accounts you want to collab with. 9 00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:44,910 One note some larger Instagram pages will want to charge you for posting or mentioning your brand on 10 00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:51,980 their page collaborating with similar Instagram users or tastemakers in your niche is a great way to 11 00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:56,880 get your brand out there especially if the users you want to collab with have a large following. 12 00:00:57,050 --> 00:01:02,000 So try reaching out to them to see if they'd like to collaborate on a promotion or giveaway for your 13 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,580 brand. 14 00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:08,570 If your product is cool enough some bloggers and Instagram celebs will accept gifting in exchange for 15 00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:14,230 a poster or mention of you in their captions let's look at this example the brand hashtag. 16 00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:21,460 It's NBT gifted this girl dress for free in exchange for her hash tagging their brand in her caption. 17 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,560 Here's another collab example. 18 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,540 This fitness model was paid to include the brand at your T in the photo and on the caption So she used 19 00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:37,920 your layout app to combine a your photo with her fitness photo and then for the caption tip I drink 20 00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:42,630 your tea daily to raise energy levels decrease bloating and keep my skin clear. 21 00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:43,720 Great collab. 22 00:01:44,070 --> 00:01:45,140 Well worth the money. 23 00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:47,000 She's got a huge following. 24 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:51,110 I'm sure your t sold a lot of tea and gained a lot of followers. 25 00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:57,090 Once you start to grow your Instagram followers and pay for a few collabos you'll start to get a sense 26 00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:01,410 of what is charged for these Minchin's and these collapse. 27 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,750 I've seen a range from tens of thousands of dollars depending on the size and following of the users 28 00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:14,730 and depending on what the collab entails such as caption mentions or an actual photo post or being tagged 29 00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:22,150 or bio Minchin's or actual bio link takeovers where your link goes into their web site link. 30 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,140 Remember just to email a user and ask them for a sponsored post pricing for whatever type of collab 31 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:29,220 you want. 32 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,890 I personally see the highest return from caption at handle mentions in the first 50 characters. 33 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,810 The next best is biling takeovers. 34 00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:46,140 So a large following of 10000 plus users puts you in the driver seat for charging for collabos with 35 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:47,510 smaller brands. 36 00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:53,760 The first option and least invasive option to monetize your account is to sell the caption space below 37 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,020 your photos. 38 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,030 So like I mentioned start messaging brands like yours with the same following size to get a feel for 39 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:02,180 the price people are charging. 40 00:03:02,190 --> 00:03:09,900 I paid $50 from a post from an Instagram account with fifteen followers and I've also paid 5000 for 41 00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:13,360 a post on a $1 million plus following account. 42 00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:19,080 So the prices you can charge is really a living growing changing bean depending on your niche and depending 43 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440 on the type of collaboration. 44 00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:25,820 So like I said the second option is to sell the your L link in your bio. 45 00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:31,590 You can sell this daily weekly monthly or you can sell it on a per post basis. 46 00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:36,960 So that's a nice way to work hand in hand with a caption or actual featured post option by selling your 47 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,160 bio link. 48 00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:45,650 You will also want to mention in your captions on your post to click the bio link to visit x y z brand. 49 00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:47,460 So I like to negotiate as you are. 50 00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:53,460 I'll post to last under 24 hours so that means you actually delete the post because it's out of place. 51 00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:55,950 It's not part of your brand it's somebody else's. 52 00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:58,710 So I charge by every 24 hours it's up. 53 00:03:58,710 --> 00:04:05,090 The third option is to post other people's photos or videos along with a caption of their choice. 54 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,180 These are the real moneymaker ads for you. 55 00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:14,040 According to my recent data and what I've been charging 10K followers make over $100 per post. 56 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:21,070 These are some great sites to check out for learning more about sponsored post and making money off 57 00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:22,560 your Instagram account. 58 00:04:22,570 --> 00:04:26,770 The fourth option doesn't involve getting paid but you can get free stuff. 59 00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:32,470 So reach out to brands that you love and request free products in exchange for an Instagram post a caption 60 00:04:32,470 --> 00:04:34,770 mention a bio link etc.. 61 00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:41,480 But again you have to build up that following in whatever specific niche you want a free product for. 62 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,490 So for the fitness guru example they have a large following. 63 00:04:45,490 --> 00:04:51,910 If a new company comes out with a yoga block they can say hey here use our free yoga block in a few 64 00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:54,560 posts and you can keep that. 65 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,440 So when you get big enough yes you can charge money but in the beginning you can request some free products. 7389
