AMA: Making Passive Income on Instagram

alessbj said:

Thanks for the AMA.

Question:

Are you in charge of the content of the account? Or just the growing part? Are the business owners in charge of the upload of content?
do you do upsale / downsale offers?

Lets says:

I offer to the client the $100 monthly plan, but I can give you an XXX plus service for $200 a month?

Wouldn't be better to attach your clients with a 6 months/1 year agreement?

Doing this as a follow up to a previous post I did that I feel could be helpful to you all.

Purchase an Instagram Automation Tool: FollowLiker, Instagress, or Boostgram.

I cold call small businesses and tell them I can improve their local customer reach and create awareness in their region. Usually I feel them out on how much their customers spend and price it accordingly.


I charge my clients anywhere from $250-$1000 to run automation on their account for them. "Managed service" is what I call it. I never tell them the name of the software I use, just that I have technology that will get them 2000-4000 new followers per month.


If you set it to auto like hashtags of city names within a ten mile radius of the business they will see an increase in walk in customers and local awareness of their company.


I have 8 paying clients and make about $5000 per month off them. I pay $49 a month for Boostgram at their volume pricing just because I find they have the least re-auths and gender selection function however if you are doing this in bulk Follow Liker is a better solution for managing in bulk.


Ask me anything.

I have actually found that following is too invasive for most customers. The liking seems to bring in more walk in customers and generate more localized awareness

Love this thread. Im actually doing a version of this right now and have had good luck. I mainly focus on driving conversions and sales rather than follower growth. Have your customers been asking where their dollars are going where the ROI is?

Let me get it straight please, you make around $5000 from 8 clients? Which means you ask almost $625 per client. But how is that possible. How could you convince them that they will get this much value from Instagram.

Honestly speaking I am doing this as well. Currently I have 12 customers - I had over 50 customers in the last one year. I do exactly like you do. what I offer is 60-70 dolars per customer per month. This is not something very new in my city. And I don't offer the cheapest service.

You must be the god of convincing Paying $1000 is insane I think.

Thanks for sharing,

Actually I'm also offering Instagram Managing Services to some local brands, doing FL and targeting their competitors followers, charging 250€/month, and I have a couple of clients.

The only issue, we have to be carefull with not doing too much, I set to maximum 500 to 700 likes a day

cheers

Yep, I only do likes for my clients too, not follow/unfollow... And it works))

I do only 1 likes per pic/user, how did you set it? i found it better that way but wanted to hear your opinion too

Wow, love the idea. Especially your ways of upselling them. Currently working on a different instagram project, but will definitely have to try this idea out soon.

Question: Is it too invasive to ask what your landing page is? Interested in seeing how that looks

Great post. If you had to email a yoga place, what would the basic pitch look like that avoids looking like spam? do you have an example of one of your landing pages?
