Affiliate marketing is one of the most important and profitable types of marketing, but many people may not know about it in its popular concept of “affiliate marketing”.

Imagine when your friend asks you what t-shirt or dress you're wearing, and you take your boyfriend/girlfriend to the clothing store you're buying from, then that person buys the same product, and then the clothing store owner gives you a commission for bringing him a customer.

In short, this is affiliate marketing, you promote the offers or products of some companies, and when anyone buys through your link, you get a commission.

Didn't you personally, dear reader, watch some phone reviews videos to decide what to buy, didn't you, dear reader, follow one of the beauty experts on Instagram to find out a recipe for treating a problem with your skin, for example.

That person you trust, if he tells you that this phone is great, or that this product or cream is very good, what are the chances that you will believe him? In short, this is the meaning of influence, how many products or services you have purchased because someone else you trust has suggested it to you.

2. Profit from Instagram by collaborating with brands

Why do many international companies and brands resort to stars and celebrities to appear in their ads? Because they have influence and many want to imitate them.

But this has changed in the modern era to a large extent, so that the influencers are not only actors, singers and football players, but the influencers of social media also have an important role.

Think of the famous personalities that you follow on any social media site such as Instagram or YouTube, you will find many of them advertising a specific product, or promoting a company in one of the publications and videos.

As an example, the image below is a post by an Arab fashion influencer, which is an advertisement for the recently released Samsung Galaxy S10.

Sponsorship offers with Instagram influencers

There are many companies and brands that cooperate with these influencers, the owners of influential accounts on social media, especially Instagram.

You can also cooperate with these companies, regardless of the number of your followers, as long as they are interactive followers in a specific field. This cooperation is a presentation of the products of these companies, or a review of those products or advertising campaigns, and gifting some of these products for free to your followers.

3. Make money from Instagram through e-commerce

E-commerce represents one of the most important fields at the present time, as it is known that the whole world is moving strongly towards the idea of ​​shopping through the Internet, and by the way, this also applies to our Arab region.

Of course, with the current conditions that the world is going through from the outbreak of the Corona disease... the idea of ​​buying through the Internet has become the favorite idea for everyone around the world... who now wants to interact with others and be exposed to the risk of infection?!

In fact, Instagram represents an ideal marketing tool for your online store, as it is the first social networking site that relies on visual content, through which thousands of customers can be attracted to buy from your store.

To make money from Instagram through e-commerce, follow these steps:

1- Define the idea of ​​your online store

You can sell anything through the Internet, but you have to define an idea that fits with the nature of Instagram users. Instagram will be your main source of sales, so you should play it well from the beginning.

Here are some suggestions for store ideas that might work well for Instagram users:

Cosmetics store.

Sports equipment store.

Clothing store.

Pet store.

2- Create a professional Instagram account about the area that your online store will specialize in.

Let's assume here that you are a girl and you are very interested in the world of cosmetics and skin care... Here you regularly publish useful posts about skin care, ways to use makeup, and how to choose makeup according to each skin color...etc.

Fill your account with useful posts, and maintain a good posting rate (eg 4 posts per day).

Keep doing this for at least two months to build a good follower base, from which you can start to reach tens of thousands of followers, and then make tens of thousands of sales through your online store.

Based on our experience: During the two months and with hard work and dedication to provide useful and high quality posts... I expect you will reach a following of at least 5,000... which is very nice as a kick start.

Here we will rely on the platforms for creating electronic stores, and in particular we will rely on the Arab ExpandCart platform, which we believe is the best for any Arab who wants to create an online store.

The great thing about ExpandCart is that it provides a completely free package that you can take advantage of as a starting point, and the platform offers an exclusive discount for the winning visitors, which amounts to 15% on any of the paid packages it offers.

4- Connect your Instagram account to the search engine and start promoting it

All you need to do in this step is put the store link in the BIO pane, and start promoting the products being sold on the store.

 

Here are some important points we recommend:

Don't make all your posts a promotion for the products in the store.

Continue to make useful posts only for the benefit of the followers without any reference to the store's products.

Respond to any comment as quickly as possible, providing useful advice and recommendations.

Reply to

Messages also, and avoid direct promotion of products.

Display high-quality images of the products in the store.

Offer discounts from time to time only for your Instagram followers.

Now that sales have started and you really start profiting from Instagram through your online store.

4. Make money from Instagram through paid posts

This method is similar to the previous method, but differs slightly from it, as you can cooperate with influencers like you and not famous or well-known companies and brands.

Someone wants you to spread their account or service to your audience in order to get followers.

Perhaps you have an account for pets such as cats, and I own a product or service related to this matter, so I will pay a sum of money for publishing a video or a specific post about this product.

This method is very popular, especially in the Arab world, because many people want to have large Instagram accounts.

Look at this image that shows a post for an account for sweets recipes, this post has nothing to do with sweets but is a paid post about a weight loss product, which will be of interest to many of the followers of this account.

5. Make money from Instagram by promoting your services and freelance work

Perhaps you are a photographer or graphic artist, you can promote these services through your account on Instagram, you provide advice and benefits to your audience, and also there are them or their acquaintances who need you to help them in exchange for money.

It's not just photography, you can be a programmer, website designer or even a lawyer, it doesn't matter, as long as the people who can benefit from your services have Instagram accounts, then you can make profits.

If you are interested in the field of self-employment, I highly recommend you to read the comprehensive winners' guide about self-employment on the Internet.

6. Make money from Instagram by bringing visitors to your site

You can also take advantage of Instagram to bring visits to your site, as you may depend on the profit from Adsense or from advertising in general. Perhaps your site is based on affiliate marketing or you are selling a specific product directly from your site.

As long as you have a site, you definitely need traffic, and the more traffic, the higher your profits, and it doesn't just depend on the sites, you can count on bringing visitors to your YouTube channel or other platforms.

7. Make money from Instagram by selling photo and infographic service

You can provide some exclusive photos or design some photos and infographics, as I mentioned earlier to the different account holders on Instagram. Especially if you have a simple knowledge about Photoshop or various image design programs.

All you have to do is search for the different accounts of influencers or companies in a particular field on Instagram, and then sell them the photos and infographics that you designed.

What is unique about this method is that you can work in more than one field, and you can even sell the pictures you designed more than once according to the agreement with whom you sell to.

You can also offer this service on various freelancing platforms to get more clients, or you can sell these photos directly on some sites dedicated to this (the thing about these sites is that you get paid for every time your photos are sold).

8. Making money by managing and marketing Instagram accounts

After you deal with any platform that you become an expert with, you know all its secrets and secrets more than others, there are many people who do not have that experience with regard to Instagram.

You can be responsible for managing Instagram accounts for different people who are interested in having strong accounts. You can manage an account for an influencer or owner of a YouTube channel or a website owner, for example, because he does not know how to deal well with Instagram like you.

You can manage an Instagram account for a restaurant, company or clothing store, there are many around you who you can start this service with in order to benefit from Instagram more.

I do not need to tell you that there are many companies in the Arab world that provide this service in large amounts, which means the need for this service and the increase in demand for it, and this indicates that there are many opportunities and profits in this field.

Important tips to make money from Instagram

In this part of the article, I will give you some tips that will help you increase profit from Instagram, whatever method you rely on.

1- Instagram profile

Your Instagram profile is different from most other social media sites, as the number of all your posts since you launched your account, the number of your followers, and the number of accounts you follow are all clearly visible.

Also, anyone who visits your profile can read a profile of your account, which you have to pay attention to in order to convince them to follow you.

They can also see your latest posts and take a quick look at your profile, and often this look is what makes them decide whether to click Follow or not.

And this is very important… Look at this Instagram profile, see how even the posts are all symmetrical and have their own character, a feel that you can feel in most of the photos… This is what Instagram followers like.

If you want to profit from Instagram, your account etc

It must also be like this, harmonious, tidy, and has its own character that distinguishes it from others. It becomes easy for you to get more followers, and thus get profit from Instagram.

2- What is your Instagram account targeting?

The subject, or as it is commonly called in marketing (or niche), represents the domain that your account is targeting.

The best way to profit from an Instagram account is to specialize your account in a specific topic or field, where your posts are related to and serve everyone interested in this field.

Your account could be about fitness, fitness and beauty, kitchen gadgets, clothes, pets and many more. The more specific the field you specialize in, the better profitable opportunities you can get.

Of course it is preferable that the choice of your account area is the result of a genuine interest and passion. This way you can get creative with it, and provide a real benefit to your followers. It is worth noting that any passion you have can turn into a profit from Instagram, whatever that passion is.

When anyone visits your Instagram profile and can answer this question “How will I benefit from this account” as quickly and specifically, this means that your account is specialized and therefore your chances of getting more followers increase.

And because there are a lot of great ways and strategies that enable you to increase the number of Instagram followers, so we have made a comprehensive guide about it, you can refer to it after reading this article.

3- The perfect way to post links on Instagram

Instagram, like any other social media, likes to keep its users as long as possible on the site, in order to consume more content, and thus increase their chances of seeing ads and thus increase the profit of Instagram (Facebook).

That's why the ideal way to post links is in your profile bio.

4- Instagram prefers video

Recently and according to the latest Instagram algorithm updates, many marketers have found that video is the most popular type of content that Instagram publishes among its users.

That's why pay attention to this type of content and also to Instagram stories or Instagram stories, where you can interact with your followers more.

5- Make sure that your Instagram account is a business account

When you register a new account, make it a business account. If you already have an account on Instagram, you can convert it from a personal account to a business account. 

A business account is very useful - by the way, it is interconnected with your Facebook account - and it enables you to learn a lot of information and statistics about your followers.

Instagram stats and analytics

This information is very important and useful, especially in cooperation with companies and brands, as they always want to know more information about your followers (their age, are they women or men, and their interests as well), in order to make sure that cooperation with you will be beneficial to them.

Also, this information is useful to you because it tells you important information about your followers and the type of content you publish and their preference, and therefore you publish more of it, the number of your followers increases and also their interaction with you increases.

6- Avoid plagiarism and cheating

This is advice to profit from Instagram and from any other source, do not follow the trend badly, a wave such as the application of Tik Tok or Musically, or other trivial things that do not lead to any benefit.

I do not want to talk about morality, but the point of this point is not to cheat your followers, not to use cheap methods, images, and poor and purposeless content just to get likes and followers.

I won't explain further but I think you get my point, your online work should make you proud and be a real livelihood and business. Do not give in to temptations, the means of profit from the illegal or suspicious Internet that depend on fraud are endless.

7- Don't just stop at Instagram

After achieving success and the start of a business that will generate income for you, even if it is simple on Instagram, transfer this success and enlarge it as well through Facebook and YouTube.

Create other accounts and ask your followers to follow you on various social media, thus doubling your profits and your followers, but do this only after you achieve success first so as not to distract yourself.

8- Think outside the box

Any work that requires a little creativity and effort, do not sit in your place and wait for money to fall on you from the sky, this will not happen, and also do not just imitate and do what others do.

Be different and special and make an extra effort, and let me tell you this short story that I think will benefit you.

Recently, I was talking to a girl who has an Instagram account, in which she publishes photos of special offers for large and famous stores in Egypt such as Carrefour, Kazyon and Fathallah and others.

One time she was in a supermarket in her neighborhood, she found the owner of the store and discussed with him that she can promote his store, offers in exchange for some simple free products that she will also promote by making videos.

Over time, the store owner noticed an increase in the number of sales, and also that most customers were looking for products that that girl was getting for free.

The owner of the store paid money for this girl for her service, and even made her responsible for advertising for his store, and she cooperated with him full time as well as managed the store's account on Instagram. And I wanted to share this account with you, but I can't, in order to preserve her rights.

there is a lot of the ways, the methods, and the stories I can tell you, but the point is not telling stories, the point is to realize that you have to think outside the box, and take advantage of all the resources and information you have in order to be successful.

The rules for success are very simple… but it is not easy, as it requires a lot of effort, but now you have all the ingredients to make a profit from Instagram… and perhaps soon you will share your success story with us, I will be waiting for you then, and it will be an honor for me to talk about you.

As usual, you will also find me in the comments, so do not deprive us of your positive comment, and do not hesitate to ask any question, we will answer you with the information we have.
