Need help earning money with my IG

Fairly new with IM .. I recently got approved for Max Bounty and not sure what I should do next to earn $$ I have 5k followers on IG and my niche [dance videos] I share other peoples dancing content
So here’s what I’ve done so far but hasn’t earned me any $$$

1) i put a link in my Bio hoping people would click link and fill out offer but offer has nothing to do with my Dancing niche ( doesn’t seem like it will work in opinion and so far hasn’t worked )

2) everytime someone Sends me a DM requesting I share there video, I would send them a link for a offer, but I stopped because I didnt want to get banned and the few times I tried no one completed offer

3) I created a new domain masked my link then posting ad in Craigslist , but I realized it Craigslist doesn’t allow you to add a link inside post and cost money to post ad

Anyone have other ideas? .. the offers I’m using is just surveys and sweepstakes to win prizes and earn money

^ Maxbounty is indeed recommended network for a start but it's not for the IG specially if your content is related to Dance.

Better move to OGAds or something and do some content locking.

Btw, Which country Dance Videos is that?

It’s in the U.S .. and ok going to look into it content locking and OGads

I think you should wait at least reach to 30-40k followers. And then you can charge for shoutouts. But your niche is (in my opinion) not ads worthy.
My suggestion is to change your niche if you want to earn some money with Instagram. There are tons of different niche in the online world. For example Koi Fish. If you have a 20k Instagram account about Koi Fish, fish sellers will contact you to repost their product. And boom you can charge for 30 $ (they are selling some fish over 1000$, so good advertising for 30 $ is ok for them.) You can make money with micro-niches with the same effort and time.
This is my opinion. Sorry for my bad english

Following for a similar idea.

Scegeekstu1 - how would you suggest reaching those kind of follower numbers? I did the follow unfollow process on Twitter to get to 3-4k but it seems to kinda peak there.

It takes time. First, you need to create quality content, your Instagram looks well designed and must have the same grid theme. It makes you look like a pro. Create a simple logo.
And then go to action. Engagement and consistency are important. You have to post daily and engage with your niche hashtags. 100 likes 20 comment is fair for the first 2 weeks then make it more like 400 likes in your niches hashtags and 30-40 comments other IG accounts.
After 5k-10k followers, communicate with your competitors with the same followers with you. It is a win-win business. His/her accounts share a post with your name and you share a post with his/her name. It is a free shoutout.
This is an adventure and not happening quickly. Keep working consistently. After 3-4 months later you will thank me and proud yourself
