First thing’s first: what’s your following like? You should know from the start that most brands will expect a strong and loyal following in order to build a working partnership.
If you’re lacking in this department, there are a few simple ways you can increase your amount of followers whilst building a professional look for your account.
Fill out your bio with all the right information:This includes your contact information, what you post about and where you’re from. Add in a few keywords and even a couple of hashtags to ensure you’re easily findable by the right kind of followers.
Something like: Beauty Blogger from a penchant for travel.
Business inquiry: Post regularly:To grow numbers,you want to be posting several images every day… but be warned, don’t post all at once or this will actually work against you! If you can’t commit to that many posts, then just make sure you are publishing one quality photo every day.
Take good photos:Which leads me to my next point! Make sure your images are of the best quality with attractive effects.
There’s no point posting a weak image, so really take your time to make sure you are producing ones of the highest quality.
(I'm currently using a Canon DSLR camera to take photos.
You can buy one from Amazon.
Use relevant hashtags: It’s unlikely your images are going to travel very far without relevant hashtags.
Familiarise yourself with the best ones to do with your field of interest and make sure you are including them in every single post.
I am using the Tag For Likes app for ideas and tosave my custom ones.
Engage with your followers: You cannot expect all interaction to come directly to you.
Make time every single day to engage with your followers or anyone involved in your industry by commenting on and liking images.
If you communicate with authentic content, people will be drawn to check out your account and, hopefully, join your loyal rank of followers.
Okay, so you’ve boosted your follower count – sweet! Now it’s time to start making money.
How-TO: Make Money on Instagram. Affiliate Marketing Affiliate marketing is basically when you promote a product and get paid per sale.
You’ll often see bloggers doing this with sidebar banners promoting their partners (affiliates), oreven through specific product inspired posts.
Well, it’s not much different with Instagram.With Instagram, you post attractive images highlighting their products and drive sales through your affiliate URL (this should be provided by your affiliate).
There are quite a few companies you can work with here.
Here are some: Share sale: Find companies you want to work with, sign up for their affiliate program, get approved then start promoting.
In some programs, it's easier to get approved if you have a blog or website.

Affiliate marketingis one of the most popular and lucrative ways to earn money online.
As an affiliate marketer, you refer products to your followers and if a purchase is made, you receive a commission from the brand whose product who help sell.
Your referral is tracked either through a unique link or promo code.
Since Instagram doesn’t allow you to post links in posts (links can only be shared in the profile bio or Stories), using promo codes is the best option for affiliate marketers on Instagram.
You can sign upon a platform like Amazon Affiliate Program and tout products relevant to the niche your Instagram account is based around – whether it’s travel, fashion, art, gadgets, or any thing else.
