Hello everyone!
Hope all is well!
Just wanna share a quick method that I've used recently to some success and something that you could probably use to make some extra money. If not that, I'm sure you could get your creative juices flowing to spin this or twist it to make money. This probably isn't even a new method and probably has been talked about before, but I just wanna share my experience.
So, as I'm sure a lot of you have noticed, Instagram has really stepped up it's Sponsored Posts/Sponsored Ads deal. They display more and more and it is kind of annoying. Anyone with any kind of account, even a personal account by a 20 year old showing their lives or bodies, are able to create IG Ads to promote their account/get more followers/etc.
And THIS is what we're gonna work with today.
As I've seen these Ads, I noticed a lot of them (for various and obvious reasons) simply weren't working for the profile who created them. So I noticed a few and what I did was follow them/DM them and let them know I noticed their Ad. I tell them I noticed their Ad, was wondering what they thought of the results so far, and more times than not they weren't happy. In one day, in one sitting, I messaged 10 different accounts and I basically sold a different service to each, relevant to what they're doing.
I pitched some my experience with IG Ads and told them I could be their Ad Manager, I pitched some with my Social Media Management services, I pitched 2 on needing a .com website to help them grow their brand, and I pitched a few on a flat out Social Media Marketing campaign where I'd promote their account and get better results than their IG Ad campaign.
My results? Of the 10, 1 of them hired me to manage their Ads, 1 ordered a month-long Social Media Marketing campaign, and 1 of them ordered a domain/web-hosting through my affiliate link. That last one might very well likely also hire me to flat out do their website (as of course they can't/don't want to). I didn't hear from the others.
This was in one afternoon, just browsing and messaging these sponsored posts. What benefits you most is that you can pretty much see how the campaign is doing based on the amount of post likes, followers, engagement overall, etc.
The best part is, as I noticed, is that you can pitch them a garden variety of services! Social Media Management, Ad Management, Web Hosting affiliate, Web Design, probably SEO if you want, ORM services, a bunch if you really want. Of course you gotta feel them out and get a feel for their needs.
Conclusion: From this experiment, I made $405 exactly just from sending those 10 messages. $200 for Ad Management (monthly service), $100 Social Media Marketing campaign (can be monthly service, I go month to month), and $105 via the Webhosting Affiliate. So $405 in one afternoon just sending 10 DMs on Instagram. And the best part is, there's an unlimited amount of sponsored posts out there lol. They show up like 1 out of every 5 or so on your feed, plus sponsored stories. So there are LOADS of people to contact and depending on your skills as a salesman, you can pitch them on any one of your services you provide. It's all in how you pitch them and message them of course, but in doing this, and especially if I could, you could definitely make some money from this.
Hope all is well!
