Yet, you don’t have to be a part of a huge corporation to earn from an Instagram account. It is all about creating a personal brand and having a loyal audience of followers. According to statistics, the influencers’ market is going to reach 2.3 billion dollars by 2020.

It is not surprising that more people consider running their blogs to earn money. And it is especially tempting, as many influencers just post about their life and daily routine. If you want to know how to build an army of followers and make a living out of your daily activities on Instagram, this guide is for you.

Types of Blogs on Instagram

The platform is filled with all types of blogs, whether they are food, fashion, travel, healthcare, or books-related. Overall, successful content is funny and/or helpful. There are fitness gurus, makeup professionals, custom essay writers, photographers, and activists there.

The rise of social media marketing is understandable. Followers tend to believe influencers more than brands with traditional channels of advertisement. The reason is simple – people feel more personally connected with influencers and trust their opinions.

It means that the only way to make your account profitable is to have a loyal following that trusts your advice and opinion on a particular matter. So if you recommend the product, they are likely to try it out. Any successful blog is visually-driven and features a specific aesthetic. It should be pleasing to the eye and helpful or interesting in terms of captions and engagement.

Finding Your Niche

It is totally possible to create a lifestyle blog that will be attractive to people. However, the main factor is to have a niche that you are passionate about. For example, it can be fashion, makeup, childcare, etc. It can be anything that you have some kind of expertise at. It should be something that makes you different and shows the value of your advice.

Look, for example, at Amanda Stanton. She is a lifestyle influencer, who is also interested in fashion and style. She posts pictures of looks on her and her kids. Stanton has 1.2 million followers, which is stunning. Amanda is a great example of incorporating fashion, style, and travel into one profile.

Another perfect example is Kayla Itsines with amazing 11.9 million followers. She is a personal trainer and often posts videos on exercises, advice on a healthy lifestyle, etc. She also posts the pictures of her newborn baby, and other sneak peeks from a daily routine. Kayla created her following based on her expertise in fitness and physical training.

Of course, these two influencers are exceptional examples, and such an audience is pretty hard to build. Overall, it is not necessary to reach millions of followers to start earning. Even 5-10k of subscribers are attractive to brands that might be interested in sponsorship.

Sara Tasker has 216k followers with her visually-stunning lifestyle blog. She has found a certain aesthetic that works for her and adds interesting captions to them.

In general, there are four ways of earning money on this social media platform:

• Running sponsored posts
• Selling your products
• Being an affiliate marketer and recommend products of other brands
• Sell your photographs or videos

Depending on the type of content you create and the followers you have, it is still advisable to mix two or three of these income channels. For brands to sponsor you, it is important to see the engagement of the audience and their willingness to follow your recommendations.

How to Build an Audience

Posting daily routines make people more connected with influencers. Yet, before that, it is important to interest them in your content. If you are just starting, several tips will help you to grow the audience on Instagram:

• Find a topic you are passionate about and have something to contribute to it. It can be a food blog, travel inspiration, or even something as simple and complicated at the same time as being a parent. The important factor is to provide beneficial and meaningful content.
• Switch to a business account. It is crucial to understand the audience, when the majority of subscribers are active, what kind of content they are looking for. A business account provides necessary statistics and allows running paid advertising campaigns.
• Make aesthetically pleasing visuals. After all, it is visual social media, so the key is in posting beautiful images or video content.
• Engage with the audience. People need to know that you care about and want to communicate with them. There are many ways to do so. One is engaging in the comment section. Write thought-provoking captions under images, ask followers’ opinions, and answer their questions. The engagement builds trust and helps to create a loyal audience. Another way is posting stories with call-to-action features, like questions or polls. The third option is to look at subscribers’ content, like it, share via your stories or leave comments on their accounts.
• Post constantly. For example, brands post on average 1.5 times per day. The best strategy is to create at least one post a day, yet it is not always easy. You can use auto posting software to plan publications or use stories when there are no pictures to make a post. It is crucial to have a constant flow of content for followers.
• Incorporate videos if there is an opportunity. People tend to engage more with video content on Instagram, so if you can, post a video, a daily vlog, or a recipe.

Wrapping Up

Making your daily life the content worth following isn’t always easy. You need to have a passion for something and offer valuable insight as well as eye-pleasing images and videos. 

The key factor is in building a loyal audience that trusts your advice and expertise in choosing products or making decisions. It is essential to engage with people, offer them various types of content, like images, videos, captions, stories, and remember to always be truthful and not be fake, promoting products just for the money. Always only promote something if you yourself would use it and it in no way harms anyone.

Life has knocked me down a few times. It has shown me things I never wanted to see. I have experienced sadness and failures. But one thing is for sure……I WILL ALWAYS GET UP ?

STORY TIME ? . I used to represent Hampshire in gymnastics so it's safe to say I was pretty good at it ?‍ Somersaults on the floor, double backflips (back handsprings for you American folk) on the beam, giant's on the bars….ya know that sort of thing ??‍ . However obviously like most of us, we lose alot of our hobbies/special skills as we grow up because we are too busy flirting with boys and drinking WKD blues ? . I however did try keep my backflips going for many years because a) they were bloody impressive b) At parties when 'Run DMC' came on, everyone made a circle around me to watch me backflip and somersault…..I felt special ? and c) when I became a teenager, I used to do them infront of boys I fancied and I won't lie to you, it worked many times ? . HOWEVER, the last time I did one was when I was about 17 on a beach in Newquay (@saraharnold_uk was there for moral support) because I really fancied this South African boy (@donblignaut you listening ?) and I was so drunk I ended up backflipping onto my head ? And so ended my career as a gymnast because I was too scared to try one again ? . H.O.W.E.V.E.R last night I went to a gymnastics club with @lmotionstudios and although I had to really talk to myself, I was NOT leaving there until I did an unassisted backflip and I diiiiiddddddddd ?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍?‍ . Despite the fact I almost broke my back, stomach and neck in the process, I AM BUZZING I TELL YA ? ____________________________________ #gymnastics #gymnast #talents #athlete #london #fitness #fit #thinkoutsidethegym #proud #motivation #inspiration #strength #strong #strongwomen

I'll be honest, last week wasn't great for me ? But in the words of Bruce Nolan sometimes 'That's the way the cookie crumbles' ?‍ . But, as I always say- things change ? And as much as we should celebrate the 'ups', we also need to accept the 'downs' as best we can because really, it's the only way forward ? . So this week, I am going to be kind to myself, practise self care and do lots of yoga ?‍ . Also just a little note to other 'influencers' ??‍ Something I have been thinking about recently ? Instagram is incredible for connecting people and creating amazing supportive communities BUT it also promotes fake & unattainable lives/images that can have a major negative impact on many people ? . So if you are going through a bad patch or having a sh*t day, perhaps talk about that? Rather than pretending life is rosy and everything is AMAZING……why not use your platform to educate the younger generation? Talk about real issues, things that really matter to you, how are you REALLY feeling, what you REALLY look like without making your thighs smaller or living in a world of 'Amaro' . You have a responsibility to be honest to your followers and that is not something to be taken lightly ? . It's okay NOT to be okay ………………………………………………….. #yoga #yogi #pose #namaste #bikini #body #strong #strength #strongwomen #boxing #girlshobox #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #honesty #nofilter #reality #fit #fitness #health #healthandfitness #abs #gains #handstand #headstand

I GOT PUNCHED ? So most of you know by now, I am going to be doing a white collar boxing fight in November for a mental health charity ? It's going to be my one & only fight EVER And you also you know I already box about 3/4 times a week which consists of bags and padwork ??‍ HOWEVER, this morning @bantam_boxer asked if I wanted to try sparring for the first time because although full on fight training won't start until August, sparring is something I should probably start doing and get used to but I'll be honest, it's scares the absolute shit out of me ? I have never been punched before so it's obviously something I am very nervous about ? I woke up this morning feeling very apprehensive and almost cancelled but I said to myself 'No! Emily this is something you HAVE to do' ? So I went. And I sparred. And I shit myself. And I almost cried ? It wasn't that it hurt, it was just the shock of being punched in the face as that's never happened to me before ? I couldn't cry however because I was in a proper boys boxing club so I had to reign that shit in ya know? ? To be completely frank with you, the whole thing was terrifying and made me realise although I have alot of strength when I box ? Boy do I have aLOT to learn ? I am so proud I turned up and I am so proud of myself for doing this for a cause that is extremely close to my heart But yeah, to sum up……turns out if you want to see me cry, just punch me in the face ? Who knew? ?‍ P.s I am aware this picture is NOT sparring but those pics will come in due course ? ? @lee_mj_daley #boxing #girlswhobox #london #whitecollar #strong #strongwomen #muscles #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #motivation #dedication #abs #gains #inspiration #fit #body #fitfam
