AMA: Making Passive Income on Instagram

[thepioneerslife]

Cold calling and lead sales is always a guarantee money maker. It's all a numbers game sooner or later.

Following this thread as I am going to expand my IG IM to include this. Brilliant idea! I have two clients recently I picked up that had me take over the IG management and got me to wondering about doing it more and here we are you are already chugging ahead cold calling. I will be calling a bunch of local clients up this week to boost my revenue.



For those wondering, accounts can be monetized in many ways and you don't have to have a shit ton of followers. If you BUILD A QUALITY IG you will get QUALITY OUT.
For example one of my recent test accounts was for my dog, in a couple of weeks she hit 3K followers (no link in bios to any domains - I was only testing growing the user base using a new method for me) and without planning to monetize that account I had people reach out and 1)pay for a shout out $30 to 3,000 followers (i have an average of 350+ likes per photo) 2)sponsor my dog with custom dog collars and a discount code for shoutouts 3) a toy company send my dog toys to sponsor in a post also with a discount code.

All that in 3 weeks, 2 hours worth of my times, and only 3k followers, in truth both of those last two offers also happened by the 2K mark. Build Quality = Get Quality. If you don't churn and burn accounts you will see more money for your effort

looks interesting but how would you get payments from these businesses?

For example, if you don't have a website, business license or payment processing.

I'd assume these companies would want to write this off as an expense.

Would you just take cash or a bank transfer?

You are focusing on irrelevant parts. In the start to IM "fake it until you make it" applies more then ever. I devoured every bit of information I could to know what I was talking about when I first started. Then I started marketing my services on different market places and did a few months of grunt work for $ until my reputation took hold and word of mouth got me to $$$ and then I reinvested in myself when I could breath. Formed my LLC, got professional logos, software, videos, etc made and legitimized my company. Revenue has only increased since and I have brought on several team members. Most IM payment in my experience in Paypal.

You have to also remember you will work with people from all over the world when you get going. The laws and rules change all over the place. When it comes to taxes people handle all of that on their own in for their own circumstances.

Do these clients provide content? Or you have to create content for them as well?

Thanks

Hey @eshelt! Thanks for the amazing post. Just scanned it all.
I've been doing this exact same thing for around 6 months with FL (but charging a bit less than $100 per month per account). Already have over 80 paying clients.

My next step is providing my clients an automatic performance metrics report that is sent to their emails every week. I'm thinking about hiring someone to develop this for me since all the tools I've seen charge $50+ per account.
Are you (or someone else reading) interested in teaming up for getting a solution like this?

ps: the slack group would be awesome. Did you do it?

Wow really interesting read, I'm already cold calling to advertise a local advertising service to businesses in my day job... called 300+ in one area just last week.... maybe I should start doing this and mention it in the same call. (ie: "I see well maybe you would be interested in instagram management also/instead")

I would be more confident offering the service if there was someone with more experience and a developed brand I could refer them to, but since I'm a new account IDK if I'm allowed to JV?

I need to ask you somethink , i read every post ,and it fantastic and will work .

What i want to no is .

1. Has followliker got the abilty to just like on a account daily ,and set the amount of likes needed.

What the theory of liking work ,
You like a account becouse you like it

Are you hoping someone looks at the account likes ,and goto your insta page .

Are you liking there account or liking there pictures ...

How do you get engagement with likes ....

? Anyone exsplain please ?

2000 likes a day on 5 pictures on every account.

So do i have to scrape accounts in the nice i am aiming at?

Use hastag to get local business only

When I googled LifelineEngineer I wasn't able to find a reputable website with testimonials or anything. Maybe @eshelt has something like this?

That is because LifelineEngineering.net is the site, I was saying to add me on Skype, put [email protected] as the search to add a contact and I will pop up

Do you only use the liking feature of Boostgram or do you also use follow/unfollow to build?

 

[wya]

Ah my mistake I didn't see your site because you are on page 2.

 

[Joao P]

Hi, I work similarly to company profiles here in Brazil. But here I bought this script VTGRAM It works very well, has anyone used it? Using the auto function to follow a 450 profile per day is risk of losing the account?

Note: I accept profile more than 90 days old

 

[renzzzzzo]

Very interesting OP, thanks for sharing.

 

[Moneymakerguru]
