Hello everyone.
I've been working part time in social media marketing for a year and a half. I've started to take creating content on my personal Instagram account more seriously.
Is it possible for people to make money on Instagram without selling products or services?

Of course you can; if an account has a large number of subscribers, you can sell sponsored posts. That’s what I do with my own Telegram channels.
 
You can sell your instagram accounts after growing them organically. Bot followers get detected btw.
 
There are many ways to earn money from an Instagram account. If you develop a successful account but prefer not to sell products, you could build up the account and then sell it, or you could monetize your posts, comments, and follower engagement.
 
of course you can earn from content monetization, and also brand promotion & collaboration can make you earn.
 
Definitely possible because most of the people make money from Instagram without selling anything.
 
Once your channel has a certain number of followers and a clearly defined target audience, brands will proactively reach out to hire you to create posts, take photos, produce Reels, or share Stories to promote their products or services.
 
No, you can't make money on Instagram if you're not selling a product.

Based on your experience, what number of followers does an account need to reach before it starts receiving its first sponsored deals?

Since this is a personal Instagram account closely associated with my brand and image, my goal is not to sell the account.

Regarding buying and selling accounts, I think the risk of having engagement suppressed or violating Instagram's policies is quite high.

Because I want to focus entirely on creating quality content first, which can be monetized from views.

Besides selling products, what are the most popular ways to maximize income on Instagram these days?

With a new personal account, what advice would you give to quickly build a clear audience that attracts brands?

Q! I think we should choose one topic that the brand is actually willing to pay for, and let the first 9 posts shout about it. The brand opens the profile and decides in a couple of seconds. Then they ask for one screenshot: country and audience age, average reach of the reels. If it matches their client, they get the deals and the small account gets a small account. I would prepare this screenshot in advance, before the first offer.
 
Current hot thing - UGC videos. Brands pay you to create content that they can then use in their own marketing.
 
What niche is your personal account in? The monetization options without selling your own stuff depend pretty heavily on the audience demographics you're pulling.

UGC is the realistic route, yeah. Before you pitch anyone, know brands scroll your comments, not just views. People asking where your jacket’s from beats a row of fire emojis.
 
Most people assume that you need to sell something on social media to generate an income, but it is actually possible to earn money without selling any products. For instance, you can receive virtual gifts simply by hosting a live stream and chatting with your audience.
