Earnings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram provides various avenues for brands and influencers to monetize their presence on the platform. You can create different types of content including Reels, IG Live, Stories, and Feed posts, and earn from them using different monetization options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Different Instagram Monetization Options to Earn Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before March 2023, Instagram had a <strong>bonus program<\/strong> that paid creators based on the number of views on their Reels. The Instagram Reels Play was an invite-only program where creators would earn based on the number of Reels they created per month and the number of views they got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, here are Kitty Parker's monthly Instagram earnings for some months, as per her post on X (formerly Twitter):<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-of-instagram-earnings-of-kitty-parker-.png\" alt=\"Image of Instagram earnings of Kitty Parker\" class=\"wp-image-78743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-of-instagram-earnings-of-kitty-parker-.png 569w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-of-instagram-earnings-of-kitty-parker--150x141.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/heyjoydoe\/status\/1561044906226900994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>She earned an average of $200.56 per 20K-30K views, which is equivalent to earning <strong>$8.35 per 1,000 views<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column78612_3a7486-be:not(.specificity){margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);}.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column78612_3a7486-be > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-right:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-bottom:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);border-left:1px dashed var(--global-palette6, #718096);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column78612_3a7486-be\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p><strong>Case 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20,000 views = $200.56<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1,000 views = $200.56\/20,000 * 1,000 = $10.02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Case 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>30,000 views = $200.56<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1,000 views = 200.56\/30,000 * 1,000 = $6.68<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Average earnings = $10.02 + $6.68 \/ 2 =<strong> $8.35 per 1,000 views<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But Instagram discontinued their bonus program on 9th March 2023. Now influencers cannot earn on Instagram based on the number of views on their Reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>here are the current monetization options available on Instagram:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Live Badges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go Live, your followers can gift you badges, which you\u2019ll collect upon completing the Live session. Your followers could buy Badges for <strong>$0.99, $1.99, and $4.99<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of how a New York-based fitness creator, Charlee Atkins makes money from Live Badges on Instagram. She regularly takes free classes for her audience and they support her by buying Badges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/buy-badges-on-instagram-live-to-support-content-creators.png\" alt=\"buy badges on Instagram Live to support content creators\" class=\"wp-image-78744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/buy-badges-on-instagram-live-to-support-content-creators.png 313w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/buy-badges-on-instagram-live-to-support-content-creators-150x307.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/charleeatkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Instagram subscriptions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create exclusive content for your subscribers and earn money by selling subscriptions to your loyal followers. To be eligible, you must be over 18 years of age, reside in the USA, and have at least 10,000 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at the example below from Lauren Makk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The influencer has a substantial following on Instagram. She has a Linktree on her bio with many links leading to all her DIY designs. There is also a subscribe button for followers interested in getting access to her exclusive content.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/instagram-subscriptions-selling-example-fromcontent-creator-lauren-makk.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram subscriptions selling example from a content creator, Lauren Makk\" class=\"wp-image-78746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/instagram-subscriptions-selling-example-fromcontent-creator-lauren-makk.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/instagram-subscriptions-selling-example-fromcontent-creator-lauren-makk-768x569.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/instagram-subscriptions-selling-example-fromcontent-creator-lauren-makk-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/laurenmakk?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Influencer marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where<strong> <\/strong>brands pay influencers and content creators to create sponsored posts to promote their products or services to their followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an influencer or content creator, you get paid monetarily or are offered free products or services from the partnering brand. The compensation varies from brand to brand and depends on the <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/effective-types-influencer-collaborations\/\">collaboration type<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be a one-time sponsored post or an ongoing collaboration for a specific period of time (say, one week or 4 posts\/month). Brands can also hire you as a brand ambassador, making you the face of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a sponsored post by a Miami blogger, Sabine to promote a dress from Maxwell and Geraldine:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sponsored-post-on-Instagram-to-earn-money.jpg\" alt=\"sponsored post on Instagram to earn money\" class=\"wp-image-78747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sponsored-post-on-Instagram-to-earn-money.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sponsored-post-on-Instagram-to-earn-money-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sponsored-post-on-Instagram-to-earn-money-150x88.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CytmuUvuJMD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Affiliate marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also make money by promoting products, services, and courses with <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/affiliate-marketing-on-instagram\/\">affiliate links<\/a> on your bio and Stories. The partnering brand will pay you a commission on every sale made through your affiliate links or unique affiliate discount code.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/affiliate-marketing-on-instagram.jpg\" alt=\"affiliate marketing on instagram\" class=\"wp-image-78748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/affiliate-marketing-on-instagram.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/affiliate-marketing-on-instagram-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/affiliate-marketing-on-instagram-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CytNtsyxIWK\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Selling products or services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses as well as creators can sell their products or services directly through Instagram. You can turn your followers into customers by offering physical and digital products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram also allows you to tag products on your feed posts and Reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Role of Views in the Instagram Payment Equation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of views on your Instagram content doesn\u2019t directly translate into earnings on Instagram. However, they help in determining your earning potential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More views = more engagement:<\/strong> Views help increase the visibility of your content, potentially attracting more engagement in terms of likes, comments, and shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More views = greater audience growth: <\/strong>Engaging content with higher views leads to a growth in your followers, which in turn increases your Instagram account\u2019s monetization potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More views = higher chances of attracting brands:<\/strong> Higher views demonstrate a broader reach, making you more attractive to brands seeking partnerships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Distinguishing Between Organic and Sponsored Content Views<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic views are generated naturally, without any paid promotion or external influence. They come from your existing followers and users who discover your content through Instagram's algorithm or hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, sponsored content views are the views you get by boosting your post\u2019s reach through a paid ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a sponsored post by Amazon Web Services. When users click on the words, \u201cLearn More,\u201d it will take them to their main Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/example-of-instagram-sponsored-content.png\" alt=\"Example of Instagram sponsored content\" class=\"wp-image-78749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/example-of-instagram-sponsored-content.png 443w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/example-of-instagram-sponsored-content-150x192.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Running a campaign like this with Instagram Ads may cost between $0.20 and $6.70, depending on the ad model you select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These views are a result of paid promotion to a targeted demographic of your choice, and they can help you reach both existing followers and potential new followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which Key Factors Determine Your Instagram Earnings?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Various factors influence your earning potential on Instagram such as your account\u2019s reach, engagement, and appeal to brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore the key factors that influence your Instagram earnings in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Engagement Rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your engagement rate is calculated as the sum of likes, comments, and shares you receive divided by the number of followers you have. It is an indicator of how actively your audience interacts with your content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher engagement rate translates to a more engaged and loyal audience, making you more appealing to brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, ROSE has 74.3 million followers on Instagram.

Niche or Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The niche or industry you're associated with influences how much you can earn on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some niches, such as the tech and automotive industries, are more lucrative. They attract higher-paying brands due to their target audience's purchasing power and market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a chart showing Instagram influencer earnings by industry:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-of-instagram-influencers-based-on-their-industry.png\" alt=\"Average earnings of Instagram influencers based on their industry\" class=\"wp-image-78751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-of-instagram-influencers-based-on-their-industry.png 775w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-of-instagram-influencers-based-on-their-industry-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-of-instagram-influencers-based-on-their-industry-150x85.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hypeauditor.com\/blog\/data-from-our-study-of-1865-instagram-influencers\/#details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Follower Count and Authenticity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher follower count broadens your reach and increases your value to brands.On average, <strong>Instagram pays $100-$250 per post for 2K-5K followers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram-1024x357.png\" alt=\"average earnings for 2K-5K followers on Instagram\" class=\"wp-image-78752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram-1024x357.png 1024w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram-768x268.png 768w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram-1536x536.png 1536w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram-150x52.png 150w, https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/average-earnings-for-2k-5k-followers-on-instagram.png 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/influence.co\/go\/rates\/instagram_followers\/2k-5k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, having a large follower count doesn't always guarantee engagement or conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, to attract lucrative brand partnerships, it is essential to <strong>be authentic<\/strong> and build trust and credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, genuine engagement and relationships with your followers are more valuable to brands than inflated follower counts or fake engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the popular fitness apparel brand,<strong> Gymshark pays their influencers between <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exercise.com\/grow\/how-much-does-gymshark-pay-influencers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>$100 and $5,000<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>depending on their reach and number of followers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Micro-influencers get paid $100-$500<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mid-tier influencers could receive $500-$5,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And top-tier influencers can ask for $5,000 or more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Audience Demographics and Geographic Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Different regions may have varying market demands and advertising budgets. Influencers in regions with a strong presence of potential advertisers or a high cost of living may command higher rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, influencers and content creators in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK earn better than influencers from other regions. That\u2019s because of the varying purchasing power of people in these geographical regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, how much your audience demographics align with the demographics of a brand\u2019s target audience matters. A brand is likely to pay you more if you have an influencing power on their target buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Content Quality and Relevance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram is all about high-quality visuals and captions. Appealing content stands out and captivates your audience. It\u2019s also more likely to be shared, increasing your visibility and attracting high-value brand partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relevant content resonates with your audience, resulting in higher engagement and more attention from brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To plan your content better, <a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/instagram-content-calendar\/\">create a content calendar<\/a> for the coming two weeks or a month in advance. You can also easily schedule your posts for Instagram in advance using Vista Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This social media management tool lets you schedule your content to 13 networks &#8211; all from one dashboard.
