So, I currently have an instagram account in the fitness niche with 26k followers. I've put a kik contact info in my bio for shoutouts or business inquiries and am getting around 1k likes per pictures. However, it seems like people only expect to get free shoutouts and keep sending me their pictures. When I tell them I charge 10$ per shout-out they always instantly back out. This leads me to my question. When would it be appropriate for me to start selling shoutouts? And how can I get people to buy them from me other than just putting my kik info in my bio? Thanks!
When should I start selling shoutouts?

Somewhere around 80k the shout out lifestyle begins to pick up. By 100k you should have a pretty consistent stream of people wanting your promotion

Also don't put kik, instead put a good professional email, and put it something like this..
Business Inquiries : your email
I've noticed usually people on kik only bother to message you for a free shoutout or to waste your time and "chat"
Real interested people will take the time to email you.

hmm yeah, try get your page up to 50k before selling shoutouts!
your engagement is fairly good though, nice

Either wait for people to contact you through email.
Or go and find prospective clients and pitch them.

$10 per 1000 average likes/photo
If your average like per photo = 500 you charge $5
If it's 25k, you charge $250. Make sense?

Are you sure?? I've definitely heard that shoutouts were MUCH high - like $30-100 at 50-100k followers
(if it's a business showing their product - e.g. a watch brand in a watch niche page)

Yeah my bad I saw it after I posted. Your comment wasn't there/I didn't refresh before I posted mine
.Oops.
Go and pitch 100 prospective clients for $8 then ask more questions.
You should be able to land 10+ clients out of those who will pay you if you've picked a relatively okay niche.
Very important. This is great advice.
