[HELP] Instagram Niche Question

[lilRichez]

Please I need candid opinion from Instagram pros!

I'm growing an instagram account which I intend to monetize once I gain reasonable number of followers but I combined *Photography, *Graphic Designs & Artistic Drawings on the same account.

Now I feel the combination is improper but I don't know if monetizing Artistic Drawings will be profitable in the long run if I should stick to it alone.

In Summary;
Among these three categories which one should I stick to?
*Photography
*Graphics Design
*Artistic Drawings (this one gets me more engagement at the moment)

It seems to me that photography is a more promising niche.

Photography is a great niche, definitely have a photography account.
As for graphics vs drawings, drawings I would say would be better in terms of being more popular.
You could always try to be the first popular graphics account aswell. (I am not aware if there is any, I personally haven't seen any)

I think it depends on how you want to monetize your account. Photography is basically a physical service to provide if you are not planning to sell photos online on 500px or on such websites. Graphic design / Artistic design you can sell online or provide service online. So I think you should decide which way you are planning to go in future.

look at your numbers , engagement (likes/cmt) they will tell you what you must do
you can ask your followers not directly on what they like to see

Are you planning to create two new accounts for the niches you don't chose? If not, you should.

Actually I don't own the works. I do reposting of other people's work and I'm planning to scrape from tumblr & pinterest to look more unique.

I plan to sell shoutouts and add any other monetization method if possible

But isn't it Copyright infringement ? Wont your account may taken down if the original copyright owner file a complain against you ?

I might abandon graphics design since I have personal account where I upload my graphics works.

Maybe I'll just stick to drawings only since I just want engaging audience where I can possibly sell shoutouts.

Currently I do give credit to the actual owners of the works I post.

I see so many doing same thing (reposting) in different niches. And they have large following.

Do you think I'll still get in trouble if I download from other sources and post in IG as the owner?

If you credit the original owner I think you are fine. But I think original owners may do not want you to use their works for commercial purposes even with giving credit. As you plan to do sell shoutout I think you are fine. But it is still copyright infringement. If the owner wants he can sue you I guess.

Thanks for ur time mate.
In my posts, I do let them know that if they ain't comfortable, they should contact me for removal.

Some of the people I've reposted their works have really been grateful to me for the reposts tho
