When Instagram first appeared, it was just a network based on images. However, after the Vine application, where 7-second videos were released, it expanded its functionality and added 15-second videos to the application.
Thanks to this new feature added, those who want to make money online or the winners have become better markets. In this article, we will tell you about expanding your mailing list via Instagram, selling products, providing services, advertising internet-based seminars and marketing affiliate products.
Remember, links on Instagram cannot be clicked, but if you share your Instagram posts on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, they can be clicked. Make sure that your links are memorable and short so that your posts in the Instagram app are displayed and make sure that the target page is used on mobile.
Another reason that the links are short and catchy is that you have to manually enter the image and video definitions on your mobile phone.
First, start by expanding your list of followers. But keep in mind: All of the images and videos on your Instagram page should be compatible with your followers list. In fact, all the tips below should be compatible with your target audience.
1.) Attract people by using images or videos. For example, if you are going to sell e-books, share the photo of the book cover. If you are going to make training videos, share the 15-second video of it.
2.) Prepare a personal message to use in your membership invitation. Make a 15-second welcome video explaining why members should join your mailing list.
3.) Did you get a feedback from the satisfied people? Ask if you can use their feedback as evidence. Make a visual with their feedback and names if they allow it and share it on Instagram.
4- How many followers do I need to start making money? Unfortunately, in Instagram, there is no button to activate monetization like on YouTube. In the following article, we have examined the issue for you in detail.
First, decide whether to sell physical products or digital products. For example, if you have a list of followers made up of women, you might consider selling cosmetics, clothing, jewelry and health products. Here are a few ways to promote your product on Instagram:
Pre-launch using the promotional images and videos of your new product, so do not show the product completely. Show the product completely after arousing enough curiosity in people. To increase the excitement, use customized product hashtags (#), namely product tags.
Make 15-second ads about your product. Be sure to show these sections if you want to highlight which features of your product.
Are there product feedback videos from customers? Make a 15-second video of the best views and share it on Instagram.
Do you have fans who share your product photos using a certain hashtag? Make a collage by choosing the best of these photos and share them on your page.
Make an album of Instagram photos of your customers and share it on your website. Of course, get permission first. Show your potential customers how happy people using your products are. Doing this will increase your sales.
Whether you are a web designer or an accountant, Instagram offers you many opportunities to promote your service-based business. Here are some tips:
-Use your portfolio with the works you have done for customers on Instagram. This can be a screenshot of a graphic design, one of the most recent wedding photos or a satisfied customer letter.
-Follow your target audience and review their work. A product designer can easily follow big brands and share their ideas about the latest product packaging.
-Advertise your services. Identify a problem and make a 15-second video that shows how your product solves this problem.
Ask people with similar problems to share photos about the problem using a special illness. Turn it into a contest and give the winner a 30-minute free consultation. The winner will most likely want to receive the service, and those who do not, will also be interested in your service.
Preparing images consisting of customer opinions will be a proof of your success.
