Instagram
Monetizing
and Scaling
By success assistant
 Introduction

Introduction
So you want to learn how you can start monetizing your Instagram
even with little followers?
Well you have come to the right place!
In this guide I will be teaching you my 20 best monetizing
strategies that I used to earn thousands of dollars with only a few
hundred followers. You will also learn how with this money you can
scale your page to grow even faster and earn even more! I have
personally used all of the strategies I have included and they are
proven to work!
Before we start this book I need to clear up a huge MYTH about
Instagram. This myth is that you need followers to make money.
This is WRONG! Followers are not a reflection of how much you
can earn. There is pages with 2000 followers that earn more than
some pages with 500k. All you need is the strategies, not followers.
Your followers will come regardless if you are putting out high
quality content.
With that being said, lets start making this Instagram Money!

 Content creation

Content creation
So in the growth and foundations book we went over how you can
create high quality content or have it made for you. Now that you
have this skill and know how to access good content you need to
apply this and start earning from it.
So before you go asking people if they need posts and stories
created for them you need to make a folder of roughly 5-10
different high quality pieces of content for each theme and style of
post.
Now that you have your examples ready, you are ready to start
offering your content creation services. The easiest way is to reach
out to pages that you see could improve their content or pages
that only repost content. Before messaging accounts you want to
interact and engage with some of their recent content. Present
yourself to them and start a genuine conversation, “ Hey how are
you? I like your page, would love to connect with you. Let me know
if you ave some time to talk”. Create conversation so you don’t
seem like you are just here to make money off them.
Then you can present your services. I would offer them a few
pieces of free content made for their page and if they like it you
can offer to create content for their Instagram account full time.
Another great way to present your services is to send multiple ideal
clients a video message introducing yourself and what you offer.

 Content creation

When just starting I suggest that you make content for a few pages
for a very small fee or free. You are probably thinking, Free? Yes. If
you create some free content for pages this will give you the
credibility you need when reaching out to new clients. If you have
previous work to show them they are much more likely to take your
services.
You should be charging from 50 cents to 2.50$ per content
depending on the difficulty of content. You should offer bundles of
content in bulk for a discounted price.
Reach out to 10-20 ideal clients every day presenting yourself and
high quality content and you will see results.

 Hashtag research

Hashtag research
In the foundations book you learned how to find the best hashtags
you can for your post. Since most accounts either struggle with
finding the right hashtag strategy or they simply don’t want to do it
themselves this is a great way to monetize your account and start
earning with little followers.
The ideal client for hashtag research is pages that have poor
engagement and reach on their posts. You can also take a look at
their hashtags to see if they are using them correctly. Reach out to
the client offering to make them a few sets of hashtags for free or a
small fee and if they like the results you can offer to create paid
hashtags for their posts.
You can charge anywhere from 5-10$ per 30 hashtags made.
Offer bulk bundles for a discounted price. You can start to charge
more once you have less time and more clients.

Success assistant
 Round management

Round management
Many Instagram accounts use EXM and PPN, this means that they
participate in multiple big engagement rounds sometimes
commenting more than 40 times per round. As you can imagine
this takes lots of time, especially if you are participating in multiple
rounds every day.
Since this is so time consuming lots of pages would much rather
spend the time doing other things. That is why you are here to help
participate in rounds for them so that they don’t have to!
The easiest way to find clients for this is in the EXM and PPN chat
rooms, you get access to these chats when you register for their
network. Everyone in these chats uses the paid engagement
services so it is a great place to reach out to new clients. You can
also reach out to clients that you see use engagement groups on
Instagram and offer them your service.
A great example of a DM would be : “ Hey I saw you are using
EXM/PPN engagement rounds, I know it can be very time
consuming and stressful at times. I ( Brand name) offer round
management services so that you don’t have to worry about
participating in rounds, you can just sit back and watch your page
grow! Let me know if this is something that interests you. Look
forward to hearing back”.
Make sure that you are experienced with participating in rounds
first before you offer it to a client so that everything goes smoothly
and your client is happy with your service.

 Physical products

Physical products
A physical product is a product that your customer will actually
receive in their hands. I've made quite a few dollars doing this
selling clothing. You can sell physical items related to your theme
also, for example: say your theme is fitness you can sell fitness
related items such as fitness clothing, fitness accessories maybe
even some fitness books.
Something great that I used to be able to sell these theme related
products without having to actually have them myself is called print
on demand. Print on demand is when a website that prints custom
clothing and accessories will print your products directly after a
order is placed and ship it right to your customer. The best part
about this is you can create many products without having to
purchase them or have them physically in your own possession . I
live in Canada so the websites I use will be different but most of
you should be using the best print on demand website
corresponding to your country. You should do research and find the
highest quality and most affordable print on demand company in
your country and you can use that website.
The easiest sellers are clothing and accessories because they are
cheap to make and used daily.
For example if you sell 20 t shirts every month for 35$ and it cost
you 15$ to make, that's a extra 400$ every month!

 $1.80 strategy

$1.80 strategy
We went over how you can grow hundreds of followers every day
with this strategy in the growth book. If you can grow and drive
traffic to your own page with this strategy then surely you can for a
clients page as well. This is a great way to monetize with little
followers because although anyone can easily do this, most pages
are unaware of the strategy or too lazy to do it themselves.
A great way to approach clients is with results of previous clients or
results from your own page, you can explain to them how with the
help of your Instagram commenting strategy their engagement
and followers will greatly increase. You can tell them how you will
help them target their ideal client and audience with your strategy.
Your ideal client for this service is a Instagram page that is
struggling with growth and getting new clients. You can offer them
a test of your service at a discounted price and if they are happy
with the results you can continue to do this for them at your rate.
You can charge anywhere from 50$ to 150$ per month for this
service.
When I started I was doing this for 5 clients at 100$ each earning
me a extra 500$ in my pocket every month.

Success assistant
 Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is when the affiliate ( you ) sells someone else
product through your link and you earn a commission of every sale.
This is one of the best ways to start earning on Instagram because
you can sell a product/service that isn't even yours and earn great
commissions. This also works really well with little amount of
followers because you can use the previous results of the product
you chose as well.
For example, I offer a 50% commission to my affiliates when they
sell the Instagram Success Academy. That means that every time
someone makes a purchase through their link, they earn half of the
money. This is awesome because you can start earning right away
without your own product.
If you would like to join our affiliate team and start earning with less
than 100 followers create a free account at www.gumroad.com
then DM @success.assistant ( I.S.A AFFILIATE ) and we will give
you all the details and get you on our team and start earning right
away! I will also teach you personally the best ways to sell this on
Instagram.
There is also many great places you can find products and services
to earn affiliate commissions. A very popular website used is called
ClickBank. ClickBank offers hundreds of products with affiliate links
so that you can find the perfect product for your niche.

Success assistant
 Affiliate marketing

Another great way to find a affiliate program related to your niche

is ask any pages with products that you think would be a good fit if
they have affiliate opportunities. The majority of products have a
affiliate program.
Make sure that you use the results and testimonials from the
product you are selling to your advantage. Most products include
this for their affiliates, sometimes they even include a good script
for selling.
EXM and PPN also have a affiliate team. This is great because the
majority of theme pages use engagement groups so if they have
not yet signed up you should get them to sign up with your affiliate
link. Once they have signed up you will earn a commission of their
monthly subscription to the network. This means that you will
receive passive income every month as long as the buyer stays
subscribed.

Success assistant
 Account management

Account management
Since many pages are very busy and don’t want to spend the time
scheduling their posts and participating in rounds, account
managing is a great way to earn!
You can reach out to almost any account for this because honestly
any page could be in need of someone to handle their account for
them .
Have a list of what will be included in the account managing and
explain how it will make their life a lot easier. You should present
them with some of your new growth strategies and show the client
how using your services will help their page.
You can charge 150$-500$ per month to participate in rounds,
schedule posts and actively post stories on their page.

Success assistant
 Account audit

Account audit
This is a great way for you to help a client improve their page for a
low cost so that the buyer and you are both happy. A lot of pages
that you will come across on Instagram have a very bad profile that
is not appealing at all. This is because they never learned the right
ways to optimize and brand their profile.
With what you learned in the growth book earlier you can easily
help many pages improve their profile by helping them with their
logo’s, bio, highlights and post layout.
Reach out to these accounts first by asking them how their
Instagram page is coming along. Since you already noticed their
profile is not good you can assume that they are having trouble
with their Instagram. You can then offer to audit their account and
create a plan to help them optimze their profile for the best results.
Your account audit should include.
- Logo optimization
- A strong bio for the client
- Proper use of highlights
- Review of page layout
You can charge anywhere from 5$ when you are first starting with
Instagram to 30$ once you are busier and have established a
bigger following.

Success assistant
 Coaching calls

Coaching calls
Coaching calls are one of the best ways to build your reputation
and help clients with Instagram while still earning great money. A
coaching call is a call with you and a client, going over their
Instagram strategies creating a plan for their page to follow for the
best results. These should be 30-60 minute consultations.
In these coaching calls you want to answer as many questions as
possible and see exactly what your client Is doing wrong or not
doing in terms of Instagram growth and monetizing or whatever
they need help with.
On this call you should be reviewing your clients page with them
thoroughly discussing what they need to be doing to improve the
results on their page. It is important that you not only teach them
how to improve their page but you need to make the client
understand the purpose of what they are doing and why they are
doing it so that they can understand Instagram better and not do
the same things again.
It could be a fitness brand, a quote page, a real estate page. It
doesn't matter as long as you can help them improve their
utilization of Instagram for their business.
Make your client write down each strategy and suggestion you
have so they can quickly reflect on it always.
It is also a great idea to record your coaching sessions and send it
to your client afterwards so that they can always look back at it.

Success assistant
 Shoutouts

Shoutouts
This is an amazing way to start monetizing your page right away.
Paid shoutouts are a great way to promote Instagram pages and
their products. Many pages are often interested in promoting their
brand or product if they can do it for the right price.
So here’s what you should do to start earning right away!
The easiest way to earn from paid shoutouts is by getting a list of
prices for story and post shoutouts from the big pages in your
niche at a discount so you can earn commission every time
someone wants a shoutout.
You should reach out to these pages asking if they would be
interested in giving you a discounted price on shoutouts so that
you can advertise their page for promotion and start earning!
Create a list of accounts with the price of shoutouts for each theme
that you wish to promote and you can then send this to your
potential client.
Include your commission in the price. Average commissions on
shoutouts are around 10-30%
You only want to reach out to accounts that have a product or
theme related to the accounts that are giving the promotion.
Once your page is 10k+ you can start selling paid promotions on
your page. Make sure not to advertise anything unrelated to your
theme. You don’t want to throw your audience off.
You should start charging 10-30$ per shoutout once you have
passed 10k followers.
Success assistant
 Create captions

Create captions
Since many accounts don’t know how to make the proper use of
their captions this is another great opportunity for you to earn.
When you come across pages that have poor use of a caption you
can reach out to them offering your caption creating service. You
need to explain to them the benefits of a high quality caption and
how the caption is a direct opportunity to drive traffic and leads to
your page.
Here you want to use the caption strategies we learned in the
growth and foundations book for your client. Offer to make them a
few captions free of charge as a trial. If they are happy with your
service and the results you can offer to create captions for all of
their posts.
You can charge anywhere from 75$ - 200$ per month depending
on how many captions are required.

Success assistant
 Grow and flip accounts

Grow and flip

accounts
Being able to grow/revamp a Instagram page is a great skill that
you should start to monetize. Always keep an eye out for people
selling accounts that have good potential for a low price. I suggest
only flipping pages 10-30k because they are more frequently
purchased and much easier to grow quickly and revamp.
You should be paying anywhere from 200$ - 1000$ for a page and
selling it for 500$ - 2000$.
Now before you go trying to flip pages you need to know a few
things to look out for so that you can have the most success. You
need to be aware of bots and fake followers. Take a look at the
pages followers to get a understanding if they are organic or not. If
they are then you want to take a look at the likes, engagement and
story views of the page and make sure they are close to the
average engagement for the page size. Of course most accounts
being sold are probably somewhat inactive so the engagement
wont be as good as when you revamp and sell the page.
This is honestly a great way to make money because it doesn't
require any credentials so anyone can do this even if they have 50
followers.

Success assistant
 Marketing services

Marketing services
Pay close attention here because this is very important if you want
to get the most out of your page and attract new clients.
When it comes to selling your products and services you don’t
always want to be the one reaching out to the client asking if they
are interested. You want to attract them to YOU.
There is many good ways to market our services on our page.
First of all, I cant say this enough. People always ask me why
nobody is reaching out to them for their services and I see that
they haven't promoted it at all on their page. Make your audience
aware of your services and products daily, promote them much
more than you think because only a small percentage of our
following actually sees our content.
Show all the results of previous clients and show testimonials as
much as you can. Use this to your advantage in stories and
captions as well. For example, “ here is a testimonial of my latest
client, if he can make 100$ with instagram after our coaching call
then whats stopping you? DM me to arrange a coaching call
today!).
Say you have some amazing hashtag results make sure to always
post them and show your audience your skills and progress. If you
aren't showing them how are they supposed to be aware?

 Scaling and networking

Scaling and
networking
Once you have grown a following of a few thousand followers you
can start to network and scale your page to grow even faster and
gain even more clients.
Personally I reinvest about 50% of my earnings into my Instagram
business because it allows me to scale even faster and get more
clients. Once you have a some steady income and a solid service/
product to sell you should start to invest into paid shoutouts. The
best places to do this promotion is big pages in your niche with a
extremely good engagement rate. Another great way to promote
your products is through Instagram Influencers because they have a
very close following and their audience appreciates what they
personally promote as opposed to just having another ad on a big
page.
Story and post promotions are the best option for this.You want to
use your most highly engaging content with a creative caption that
will drive traffic to your page and bring you leads.
Networking is also a very important part of scaling your Instagram
business because the more people you work with and meet on
Instagram, the more likely you will be to come across great
opportunities and meet good business partners.
A great way to do this is by making agreements with other pages
to promote each others page and products.

Success assistant
 Scaling and networking

You can easily do this by partnering up with another page with

somewhat similar themes. You guys can agree to exchange weekly
shoutouts and promotion so that you can both grow from each
other. If you have different products you can constantly promote
the other pages services as well as your own and in return they
would do the same thing.
This works great also because you can promote products that you
don’t offer for a potential affiliate commission and in return get
more leads on your page.

Success assistant
 Automation

Automation
Automating your account is a great way to keep your account
active without doing it yourself. Earlier I mentioned that you can
get round managers to participate in rounds for you and account
managers to create stories and engage on your page. This is great
for when you are earning steady income you can automate
multiple pages to promote your products and services.
The best way to schedule your posts is by using Facebook Creator.
On Facebook Creator you can schedule your posts so that you
don’t even have to post them yourself! Other apps and websites
people use to schedule posts are HootSuite and Later

 Free shoutout

Free shoutout
Who doesn't want a free shoutout?
If you would like a free shoutout from my pages all you have to do
is DM me @success.assistant a review of the Instagram Success
Academy E-Books and you will receive a free shoutout.
How easy is that?

As you guys can tell Instagram can be very tricky and complicated
at times.
The quickest and best way to reach your goals is by learning from
somebody who is already where you want to be and has already
made the mistakes that you make when starting out.
Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. I spent endless hours
and hard work on my page but I did not see much progress. I saw
people killing it on Instagram and I needed to get myself there.
All of the people I look up to like Gary Vee and Warren Buffett say
that the best investment is always in yourself and your learning. So
I decided to invest in my learning and get a Instagram Mentor.
After learning what I was doing wrong and what I wasn’t doing, I
started revamping my pages and applying new strategies. Shortly
after I was making 10x more than i was before! Isn't that crazy? Just
from investing in myself.
Although the Instagram Success Academy includes more than
enough strategies to start earning every day , you can speed up
the process and start earning even more with the help of a mentor.
If you would like to invest in your future and be personally
mentored by me and take your page to the next level to start
earning thousands of dollars per month message me “ Paid
Mentorship” and me and my team will give you all the details to
apply.

( Note: Personal Mentorship is only for those willing to invest

money and hard work into their business. It will require a few hours
every week for consultations)
I want to thank you for joining the Instagram Success Academy and
wish you the most success with your Instagram journey!
The most important is to never give up and make sure you actually
APPLY all of the strategies that you have just learned.
