[THREAD] Hey everybody This thread is my contribution to #30DaysofThreads . This is a #SixFigureSkill that has a ZERO startup fee. I will be laying the foundation on how to make 5-6 figures annually from #Instagram.

This thread will be broken up into three parts.

Part 1: Building a following
Part 2: How to monetize a following
Part 3: How to automate the process

Each part is respectively in the order you should begin your Instagram presence as an entity with the intent of monetization.

Building your following is very straight forward, but it takes the most time.
As with any type of passive income you need to put that initial hard work that will orient you in the right place.
Before you even create your page you need to ask yourself the following questions.

1- What am I interested in?

and

2- Is there a lot of content based around that interest?

These are key questions to ask yourself because you need to situate your account within a niche. The content you curate, username, and people you interact with will all revolve around this

Example niches include beauty, automobiles, food, animals, exercise, business, spirituality and literally any other broad topic that may interest others. My Instagram page for this is http://instagram.com/prettymaniacmarie .

Once you have selected the niche that interests you, the next step is curating content and building your following.

If my page just so happened to get deleted and I had to start from ground zero, the first thing I would do is find bigger pages within my niche and FOLLOW THEM.

Within the IG algorithm, it is very important to align your account with similar pages. By following like pages you are categorizing your page with those pages in the eyes of the algorithm. Interacting with those pages' content is a bonus, as it will improve your page visibility

As you're doing that ^, you need to ensure you are posting content relevant to the audience you are fostering.
If you're growing a car page, you don't want to randomly make a post about the gym.

Your followers don't care about the gym, they are here for cars.

Consistency is the key to growing any Instagram page. It's like going to the gym or trying a new skin routine.

If you give up because you don't see instant results, you'll see no results at all.

This is exactly what I did to grow 100,000 followers annually. It's that simple.

Step 2: How to monetize your following

Monetization means a few things. You can monetize a following by

A: Selling virtual ad space.
B: Selling a physical product.
C: Doing affiliate sales.

The first thing you need to do is figure out how you want to model your sales funnel. This is contingent upon how you'd like to monetize your following. I've had success in all three, at different points in time.

If you are growing your page organically CLIENTS WILL COME TO YOU. CLIENTS WILL COME TO YOU. CLIENTS WILL COME TO YOU. After their initial inquiry, you need to develop your own way to convey your prices/services or send them to your site to convert them into a customer.

Once you are at least making a few sales a day, the next step is automation. The best way to use this is to pay for a service, like "Buffer" to automate your posts without you having to manually create them. You should be posting daily and always have a post on your story.

You can market your product/service to your following occasion and they will come to you. I do not recommend using Paypal or Cashapp for your business transactions though. Both are high-risk to business owners and they will freeze your account.

BOOM! You've grown your Instagram page from zero to 10,000 in just 6 months and you're making 100$ at least a day from social media with minimal effort and paying zero fees ( phone bill aside ) Now you have enough money to begin REI and be a millionaire!

This is literally exactly what I did. The process is simple, but it is not easy. It requires consistency. I recommend choosing a niche you really enjoy and won't get tired of, if you don't, you'll get bored and give up.

Now, I'd like to nominate my good seeeester @Kierstensharris for #30DaysofThreads

Normally my Instagram consulting runs for $100. If you need deeper iterations on any of my points to feel free to reach out.

Cheat code * Make sure you set your Instagram page to BUSINESS. it will give you access to special insights telling you where your followers are located, how old they are, whether they are male or female and a few other things.

I use a special service that gives me deeper analytics. With my consultations, I give access to this service used by billion-dollar companies on their Instagram pages.
