Let's Talk Money

Hey friend,

I know, I know.

You probably started your Instagram journey dreaming of that sweet, sweet ad revenue…

(SPOILER: Instagram doesn’t pay you for views).

But here's the cold, hard truth: Instagram isn't going to make you rich on its own.

But don't close this email just yet.

Because I'm about to break down exactly how you CAN turn your Instagram following into a real, sustainable income.

Ready? Let's dive in.

1. Affiliate Marketing: Your First Step

No, it's not glamorous. But it's a start.

Throw some affiliate links in your bio.

Will they convert like crazy? Probably not.

But it's passive income, baby!

Set it and forget it while you focus on growing your following.

2. Sponsored Content: The Brand Deal Hustle

Once you've got some decent numbers (we're talking 10k+ followers),

brands will start sliding into your DMs.

Make sure your email is in your bio to catch those opportunities!

Pro tip: You can usually charge about two zeros less than your follower count. So at 100k followers, you're looking at $1000 per sponsored post. Not too shabby, right? I'm currently pulling in $700 per sponsored Reel.

3. Email Marketing: The Game Changer

This is where things get serious. Create some free value guides or products for your audience. When they sign up, boom – they're on your email list.

Why is this important? Because email marketing + IG stories = the holy grail of pitching your offers while still providing tons of value.

4. Your First Product: The Low-Ticket Offer

Now that you've got an email list, it's time to create something to sell. We're talking a $10-$99 product here.

But here's the kicker: This isn't about making money (though that's nice). It's about OVER-DELIVERING on value. These are your true fans, after all. Treat them right.

Think of this as your entry-level product. It's the gateway drug to your higher-ticket offers.

5. The Upsell: Your High-Ticket Offer

Once someone's bought your low-ticket item, you've got a warm lead.

Now's the time to offer something bigger – maybe your direct mentorship or a premium course.

This is where the real money starts rolling in.

Look , building a profitable Instagram presence isn't about overnight success.

It's about building a funnel that turns followers into customers, and customers into raving fans.

It takes work. It takes time. But trust me…it's worth it.

So, where are you in this journey? Hit reply and let me know. I'd love to help you take your next step.

Keep grinding💪
