First off, welcome to the money making world.
I've been lurking here for a few months as well, in fact, this is my first posting on here
Now, my recommendation to you is building an affiliate network on Instagram. Holy shit, I can't tell you how much money you're looking at!
Now, of course you need to have a nice website, product and niche.
Find a niche with GOOD product images, not just product on a white background. Yoy will use the images to post on IG and you want it to look like a real brand. There are plenty of complete niche stores with quality pics on Ali, you just need to search for it.
Set up your IG, buy like 2-300 fake followers and start following/unfollowing. After that, proceed to refer people to your affiliate network via DM. I suggest targeting pages in the 5-15k follower range. Those are most likely to do it.
I don't have time to write a complete post on exact how to's but this info can be found elsewhere.
My story? I made 731$ in sales the first 2 weeks of launching a store just like this. About 550$ of that was pure profit in my pocket.
Good luck!
