28 Year Old Built A $3M Business In 10 Months Thanks To Instagram

[TonyStark]

Is Instagram worth investing a lot of time in?

Anyone have any metrics on returns on effort?

It's good to check out JimD's post about his Instagram businesses. Pretty much accounts with a lot of followers (40k or more) have the potential to make more money in advertising products and such.

This reflects your linear thinking on the subject.

You're trying to take a hammer to this situation...

But this situation isn't a nail.

There is nothing for you to hammer away with, with your rough language of "returns" and "metrics."

Free your mind.

Why would anyone want to follow you?

Would you post pictures of your lifestyle?

Or would you scowl at your computer screen, and type your screeds about metrics. Perhaps you should re-read your Robert Greene, good sir. It seems you have forgotten the chess versus Go dichotomy discussed in the 48th Law.

Play Go with Instagram, not chess.

Do not be so rough and mathematical with Instagram.

Play with her.

Instagram is a female cat.

It loves beasts.

That's why famous people and rich people and influential people make Instagram go boom with likes and followers.

Instagram is not Google. It is not SEO. It is not PPC.

My Instagram is @whealthandpower.

I have 2200+ followers.

I follow six people.

I am just playing with Instagram.

I have only posted seven pictures.

I get an average of 100 - 200 likes.

Play with her, like a little baby kitty cat.

Attract her with your strength and your valor.

Your angry demands for "returns on effort" remind me of an impatient lad, desperately wondering when the girl he is taking out on a date will give him action.

Don't stress the poor girl.

She'll give it to you when you deserve it.

Do not beleaguer her with such crude language as "ROI." To her, that three-letter word may as well be a four-letter word.

I will monetize her in the future, but even to do so makes it sound as though I am pimping her, which would be...

Well, let's not get off-topic.

The point is, I do not wish to pimp Instagram, at least not at this time.

I just want to test it out, take it for a test drive.

Thank you kind sir, you're a scholar and a gentleman.

Is Instagram worth investing a lot of time in?

Recently did over 500$ in profit in one day from a single post on a new account for a new business on instagram, thats including me removing the link due to too many sales coming through for me to fullfil. Granted, I know a few tricks of the instagram trade, but its definitely worth investing your time in - my advice is once your around 15k, network like hell - go on ig forums and contact all the big players in the ig world. Once you reach 80k thats when you can really start leveraging instagram and its algorithm.

You are right in many ways.

Instagram is not Google.

Instagram is Facebook.

You can leverage the algorithm to gain followers and make sales.

Don't underestimate the power of Instagram for she is a wild beast, and as one of her many pimps, I know she can be a great earner IF treated right.

Hilarious metaphor.

Point well received.

Ya, a lot of money to be made off Instagram. My wife started an online shop drop shipping a pet product. became profitable in 1.5 weeks, with 100% of traffic driven by Instagram.

There are other tools and bots that can really help with this, in addition to the tools that the author talked about. The problem that I saw was that if she stopped then traffic to the site dried up pretty fast.

What are some of these bots? What are some good ones or did you mean someone wrote the script for it?

 

[BrooklynHustle]

It looks like they got most of their traction when they were featured on Jersey Shore, or whatever it is.

So, no, this does not like Instagram marketing done right. It's awesome that they were picked up, but let's give credit where credit is due.

Please, someone show me how they have gotten sales, with hard data figures, from Instagram.

For example, any PPC/Facebook guy could show you how he put $1,000 into advertising, and got $3,000 back, etc.

So, can you spend xxx amount of time, and return xxx amount of money on Instagram? If so, show me someone that did it!!

Nah, they partnered with a whole bunch of fitness influencers with huge followings (into the millions)

And got them to promote their products & merch as affiliates/brand ambassadors

Channel expansion, as MJ would call it...

Don't remember. That was awhile ago. I was using one called Instagress for awhile, but I think that IG killed it. Don't use bots anymore. Paid traffic is 10X faster, easier, and less risky.
