i. Profile Picture - You're Profile picture should be clear if you are showing your face and if its your brand logo it should also be clear

ii. Bio - You should add 3 lines in your bio . First will be explaining what you do , second will be you showing which problem you solve through your business , third line can be either CTA (call to action) or people you have helped with your business

For example if your theme is Black then you should use bright colors like yellow , blue or red for your texts or subtitles.

3. Post and reels 

     If you are a brand who is selling physical products then post 3 pictures and 1 reel per day , if you are content is only about short form content then use only reels . You can actually experiment this one it is totally up to you.

4. Pre-trending audio

Value - Now you present your content that how to make money in 2024 using instagram or whatever like user should feel he got some time of education or entertainment from your video.

7. Consistent 

 Don't be lazy post daily on instagram. If you miss one or two days your reach gets low . Try to stay consistent and experiment with post timings , thumbnails , video hooks , value and CTA you can always spy on your competitor to get inspiration and recreate the content in your own ways

Conclusion

Now let's move on to monetisation part which coaches teaches you for 50-100$ .

1. Affiliate marketing (Passive income - Beginner Friendly)

What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is selling/promoting someone else product for a commission .

How to do Affiliate marketing on Instagram?

lets take example that you are in health niche in health niche you are sub niche is weight loss . Now you find programs which are great solution for weight loss on internet or a weight loss coach and you partner with him to sell his programs . 

When you join a affiliate program online you get your personal affiliate link when user purchases using that link you get the commission . 

I hope you got the point above which I tried to explain you can do this in any industry whether it is education , make money online , digital marketing etc

System of Affiliate marketing on Instagram

    I. Affiliate links 

Use platfrom like linktree or beaconai to store your affiliate links or affiliate programs .

Why you should use this is because instagram doesn't allow to add affiliate links directly to your bio .

And also it doesn't look professional even if you managed to add the affiliate links directly to your bio.

    II. Reels

 You create content and provide value to your audience now for example you make content related to body building either you post about motivation , exercise videos , progress videos etc.

 Now you give a CTA if you want to get abs like me or the person in the video you can check out my program in my bio or comment abs to get the program . 

Now analayse which one is getting you sales the one with link in my bio or the one where people commenting in your videos.

Now if user is educated enough and interested in the program or product he will purchase from your affiliate link which you have added in your bio.

    III. Email Marketing

Yes this is a crucial step in affiliate marketing because sometimes customer go the link and do not make a purchase or due to some situation they decide to check other products before purchasing yours so now how do you follow up with a customer?

Yes , by email marketing now how do you collect emails from the audience it is a simple tactic which all the affiliate marketers or online business owners use that is giving away ebook, tutorials , guide , gifts etc it can be anything .

Lets say you are giving away weight loss recipes ebook . You simply give  cta to your audience in your reels saying that get your free weight loss recipe link in bio.

Now you create a landing page using any tool like zoho , getresponse or any free tool available in the market you can learn the whole process from the tool guides itself or watch a video on yt 

This is an automatic process 

1. Capture the email

2. Send the ebook on the email

3. Build the list

Once you have an enough email list you can send them affiliate offers or programs in your niche weekly or 1 in 3 days you can experiment this as well . Just don't spam otherwise they will stop your email subscription

For sending email in bulk you can use email any email marketing tool for example zoho or getresponse its upto you.

You just have to select all the emails which you have collected and send the email to your audience 

If you have any doubt regarding this method you can comment down below.

2. Digital Products (Passive and Active|Beginner to Intermediate)

What are digital Products?

Products which are not breakable in simple way and can be created once and sell multiple times. This is the trending business model for online creators , online business owners and many others. 

Examples of digital products - Online courses, E-books , Workshop/Webinar , Software etc

How to create Digital products?

Lets take an example of ebooks and online course for this article . Because these are easier according to me in starting because developing an application or software takes both time and money even as an intermediate.

How to create an ebook and course?

1. Creating yourself

Ebook

You can use tools like Canva or Photoshop to create an ebook. If you are a beginner use CANVA because it contains beginner templates to start with then it will be less time consuming .

Course

You can create the video course using your own mobile phone or laptop camera . Edit your videos using the free tools like capcut , davinci resolve etc

2. Hiring a freelancer 

Ebook

You can hire a freelancer who can do the work for you for 5-10$. You can find freelancer on fiver , freelancer or any other platforms.

Course

If you have a budget then you can hire a professional team to help you record your course with professional camera and editing the course

I think you have understood till now lets move on to next topic!

How to Sell Digital Products?

This is the part where most of business face difficulty but I hope I will be able to help you with my article

1. Cold messaging , Cold mailing , Cold calling

This is the part which most people don't want to do but it is effective . Lets take a scenario you have created an online course teaching how to learn website development and you have created an instagram page as well . 

Ofcourse you are creating your organic content about the web development like which languages to learn , what all are the main concepts , website development jobs etc .

Secret tip - Now you create an another theme page in same niche and create related content but this page will be your lead generation page for cold messaging , cold mailing and cold calling . 

How to do it?

Follow 20 people on instagram in first hour in target niche you can target students by clicking on the student hashtags or you can find them on popular influencers who is already in website development niche

after 2 hours you will follow more 20 students . If you get a warning then don't follow more people because instagram will ban your account. 

Cold messaging 

Create a script using chatgpt and send it to 10 students first! later you can start increasing your messages also remember that you can only send 10 instagram message to people who you don't follow because instagram doesn't allow sending 10 dms per day I think so to solve spam messages from bots.

Cold Mailing

Create a email using ai in your niche and send it to the students . I have already taught you above how to get emails for free.

Cold Calling

Call your followers . This is hard for beginners . You have to create script with the help of chatgpt and how do you test it ? With your friend first you call him and pitch with your script , this will give you confidence and make changes in your script

Main part of testing with friend is that it will give you an idea of rebuttals of customers like I don't have money for the course , I don't have time to learn the course , I am currently out of station , I am not interested in web development etc.

Now you have to be prepared when students say this and you should have script ready for this too

Note - You can hire a freelancer to do all this work

I hope you are not getting bored while reading this :) lets move on to organic sales

2. Organic sales

This one is pretty simple but very effective as this will be good for our business in long run. You create urgency in your video by giving offers or coupon codes in your video . For example your reels are getting an average of 10k views .

Now you give CTA that if 10 students register now we will give them 30% off on the course and resume building service which will help you land interview for web development jobs

3. Paid ads

Yes you can run paid ads for selling your course now I can't teach you the whole method here about facebook ads but I can give you an overview 

You create 2 ad sets

1. Offer ad set for students who enroll within 1 week 

2. Targeting students who are interested in online courses or education.

You pay only 2-3 dollars in first to test the ads for 1 week and 2 week you can try different strategies. FB ads is all about testing and learning 

Note - You can hire a freelancer to do it for you

3. Paid Sponsorship and brand deals (Active - Intermediate - Hard)

Let me be real with you here if you somehow managed to get 10k followers in your specific niche lets say you make hair care videos now you can approach small brands and promote their product with affiiliate discounts and it works for many micro influencers . 

You can also get paid per post like if you post about a companies product you might have 10k followers but your video gets viral so company will pay you according to the views you get ? Like if you're videos are getting 100K + views on your every reel then you can charge 50-100$ for like 1-3 reels it totally upto you

You can also get money to post stories for paid promotion you can charge upto 10-30$ depending upon the reach you get on you're stories . Like once you reach 10k followers on instagram you get the option to add swipe up link to your bio which will be you're affiliate link that will help the brands to get conversions.

Some big brands don't collaborate with 10k followers influencer or page so keep in mind that try to for local brands or company that have just started and needs conversion for their business . How do you find that? By simply searching for companies who are looking for influencer marketing or you should connect with social media agency who have a service of influencer marketing .

I hope you gave got some value from this as well.

4. Sales (Active - Hard)

Yes , you can do sales on instagram by cold messaging them and now you have to be very careful here because as I have said earlier you can message only 10 people a day on instagram now the thing is you have to create a script for the first message you send because instagram now only allows to send 1 message to non follower.

Example  - make money online niche

Hey my name is rob , I am a digital marketer and I am searching for students who are interested to make money online using digital marketing I have 5 slots remaining would you be interested to join? Reply me with yes or no!

Now if replies with yes you can join a meeting with him either on zoom or google meet and explain to him about the product/service you are going to pitch him . Now this comes from experience you can either use the help of chatgpt to generate youre script . If you are a beginner then you can get coaching from a remote sales expert who will guide you through out your journey.

If you are someone like me who likes to experiment and take risks then just message them and then hop on the meeting and learn you're lessons and rebuttals by talking to your customers .

Some students give up when they don't get results right away that is what business is all about you have to be patient . Like if you messaged 100 people , 10 of them will reply , 3 of them will hop on meeting and 1 of them will buy you're product or maybe not . But it is better then sitting still now you have experience of talking to people now if you keep on going you will be different person in 3-6 months.
