hey guys in this video I'm going to show
you five different ways you can make
money from Instagram using photography
and the first one is to basically build
a profile around a certain type of
photography and sell the photos through
the profile and you can sell them as an
amateur and get started for free by
going to a site like foap and getting
their app you can get it for Android or
Apple devices you can just go to your
App Store for your phone and basically
you build what is like an Instagram
profile where people can follow you you
can follow them and then you post your
images so you'll notice that the the
style is kind of similar to Instagram
and you can sell your photos for like
five dollars each multiple times per
photo and they are kind of a great place
to get started before going kind of
full-time into this and having a bunch
of expensive equipment and all of that
so you can do that with folk on your
Apple or Android device and then later
on you might move up to stock
photography sites like Shutterstock so
Shutterstock for instance if you go to
shutterstock.com or if you try Getty
Images or whatever there's a lot of
different ones out there but
shutterstock is one where you can
basically get paid to post all kinds of
stock photography and you can get paid a
little bit for each photo that gets
downloaded and the more you make the
more you make per image so the more they
pay you per image that gets downloaded
so it's one of those things where you
have to have a lot of volume if you've
ever read somebody do like a guest blog
post on a site like the penny hoarder or
another finance site who talks about
doing photography full-time on site to
like shutterstock typically they have to
post like 90 to 100 new photos a month
or something so you'll have to make a
little bit from each photo maybe once
maybe one photo will take off every once
in a while but if you want to sell on
shutter stuff on shutterstock you can go
to our company and go to cell con
at the bottom of the page and that's
where you can get started submitting and
selling your content so the payouts
again you get like a few cents you get
like 25 cents starting out per monthly
subscriber image then you it goes up
from there depending on how much you've
made with the company and you can build
a profile around that so you might have
say a wedding photography profile and
then you might also sell your services
or you might have like a travel profile
we post pictures of yourself traveling
all over the place and then you have
people buying your photos there and
maybe turning them into prints or
something so the second way is kind of
back to the wedding photography idea as
an example so if you look at something
like Jose via or Villa you can go to his
profile and see that he's kind of a
celebrity wedding photographers so
there's a lot of celebrities and stuff
in these but this guy definitely makes a
lot of money from his services as a
photographer also sells prints and if
you go to the link in his profile you
should end up somewhere on his website
like this where you can buy prints you
can buy his book you can contact them
about you know getting their photography
done for your wedding so is one other
way you can make money from Instagram is
by selling your services so you have
some kind of business and instagrams how
you just get traffic to it and then you
have a link in your bio right here and
maybe a description of what services you
offer a third way you can do this is by
becoming a photographer who is one that
endorses products or sells different
images as a sponsorship so basically you
can do influencer type stuff and if you
go to like business insider who is
always talking about businesses and
stuff they'll talk about
in this article how you can kind of
figure out how much you might make in
many cases you might make like 10 or 20
bucks or something if you have you know
a few hundred followers but or up to
maybe three or four thousand but once
you get into like the hundred thousands
and fifty thousand plus and and in that
range you can make a whole lot more per
post know some of these might make as
much as nine thousand dollars for a post
for like a travel influencer and then
they talk about some others that might
make ten or eighteen thousand or
something like that for being an
influencer so basically to become an
influencer you have to partner with
sponsors like Nike or these other big
brands and they will pay you to include
their product in an image so it'll look
something like this if you just do
hashtag ad on Instagram you'll see a lot
of these types of images because you're
supposed to you're supposed to disclose
whether it's an ad or not by putting
hashtag ad on your Instagram post so
you'll notice that a lot of these are
going to be pictures of products or the
celebrity using the products or
something like that
and usually it will have the logo of the
company on there as well like for
instance you'll see this right here it's
like some kind of skin cream or
something you see something like this is
some kind of food product another one
it's like a protein cookie or something
and then so you have these different
types of ads where you get paid by
either going to a site like I fluence
where you can sign up and create a
profile and get matched with brands
based on the niche that your followers
are in and how many followers and how
much engagement you engagement you have
and then you can also go and create
basically a a media kit page which looks
something like one of these you can just
type in media kit you can find templates
for your website you can do all kinds of
stuff you can just list it yourself on
your website but it's basically like a
con
hack page where you have your your
information about your Instagram profile
on there like your likes your followers
how much you charge per ad and all that
stuff so typically they will contact you
by going to your website in your profile
so like you look at pretty much any
profile and you'll have some kind of web
contact page or their website or their
YouTube channel or whatever and then
usually a brand will contact you based
on looking at your media kit and then
you can come up with a deal or you can
again go to iPhones click I'm an
influencer and sign up there to get
matched with brands if they haven't
already discovered you yet and then
another thing you can do number four is
do shoutouts so this is fairly close to
what a influencer does but basically
you're helping individual instagramers
kind of grow their profiles instead of
helping like a big business sell their
product so in other words if I'm an
instagramer and Uranus to grammar and
we're both trying to grow up profiles I
might pay you to give me a shout-out on
Instagram so that your fault some of
your followers might follow me instead
of me trying to get you to sell a
product or something so shout cart.com
is a place where you can sign up for
that it's like the I flew ins for shout
outs basically and they keep about 10%
of whatever you charge for these but you
can make you know a few hundred dollars
or so per shout out by doing this as
long as you have you know a decent
amount of followers like fifty thousand
or more and as far as that goes you can
also use a a calculator at a company
called influencer marketing hub calm and
I'll have a link to this in the show
notes but you can go there go there and
just look up instagram marketing hub
instagram calculator and it'll be a page
that looks like this you enter your
instagram username and then it will
calculate how much you could make so you
use kim kardashian as an example and
then
you can click search or click calculate
for an individual post or however you
want to do that so you can see the full
audience demographic or you can copy the
link from a post and paste it there and
see how much that post might earn and
just use that calculator there so then
of course make sure you have a media kit
for shoutouts and for sponsored posts
whatever kind of photography you're
doing stick to that niche and then make
it easy for people to hire you that way
so the last way you can do this is to
basically build a profile taking
pictures of whatever or being an
aggregator of pictures of something like
dogs for instance so if you were to find
like dogs of Instagram 4.6 million
followers they could just find all kinds
of images on social media post them on
Instagram and then they can build up a
profile with you know hundreds of
thousands of followers and then you
could go to a site like viral accounts
and sell your profile once you have at
least like 40,000 followers you can
start selling Instagram profiles on
these types of sites so obviously the
amount of engagement from your followers
how active they are and stuff will also
be a factor and how much you get paid
but they'll pay you via PayPal
and another one is Fame swap you can go
to Fame swap calm you can sell your
Instagram profile there again you just
want to do it based on photographs that
are along the same niche build a brand
based on a small niche like dogs or
travel or a certain type of travel or a
certain type of dog you can go smaller
niche to kind of stand out more and so
those are five different ways you got
photography and selling them selling
prints and stock photography you have
selling your services like a wedding
photographer you have basically being a
an Instagram influencer and selling
sponsored posts and then you have shout
outs and selling profiles so hopefully
