Essena O’Neill was an Instagram superstar. The beautiful teen waylaid her looks into lucrative endorsements which netted her thousands of dollars and she built a large and loyal following. These days, O’Neill is making waves online due to her decision to leave Instagram and to close all of her other social media accounts.

However, before she chose another way to live, she really made Instagram pay. You don’t need to use beauty in order to earn cash on this photo-sharing social media platform. All that you need to do is dedicate yourself to providing the sort of content that people really want to see.

Once you’ve built a big following, advertisers may pay you to mention their goods and services when you post. If you don’t want to promote the goods and services of others for pay, you may instead promote your own company and earn money through the new sales that you generate.

Here are some tips that will help you to get more from every single post on this popular social media platform…

Know Your Target Audience

You should create photos and captions which are targeted at your ideal customers. Careful research of your sales records should allow you to create a customer avatar which is a depiction of your ideal customer. For example, do you sell to women more than men? What is the median age of your customers? What are their income levels and interests?

Delving into this type of research will make it possible for you to come up with a customer avatar and to market to that avatar via Instagram.

So, spend some time thinking about which types of people you want to attract via the social media platform…

At this point, you should gather photos (or take new ones) which will appeal to your preferred demographics. Your captions should also feature language that is easy for them to relate to and understand. Everything should be created with a mind to pleasing the right types of peoples…the ones who are likely to buy what you sell.

Keep Fresh Content Flowing

It’s important to supply followers with fresh content. Most Instagram users log onto the site daily or every couple of days and they do so in order to see new photos from the accounts that they follow. The most ambitious entrepreneurs will post daily, sometimes more than once. However, this may be a bit too time-consuming for some. The best thing that you can do is to set up a schedule and then post punctually. Posting once per day or three times per week should work well. When you get into the habit of posting regularly, you’ll ensure that followers get their dose of content on a predictable basis. They will then get used to seeing new things from you and, hopefully, look forward to your new content. They’ll know that you won’t let them down…

Take High-quality Photos

Photo quality is obviously a factor here. If you don’t have a good digital camera, consider investing in one. As well, consider using apps in order to add a little excitement and polish to your pictures. There are plenty of apps for filters and tweaking of photos. It’s good to keep your filters and tweaks uniform across the board, as this will help you to give your photographs a special look which is yours alone. This special look will help to give you brand a more distinct image.

Now that you know more about how to waylay Instagram into online money-making, why not set up an account today? If you already have an account, freshen your approach by using our tips in order to improve your brand message on this popular social media platform. Then, prepare to reap the rewards!
