Got a friend with an Instagram account who is making several hundred dollars for many of the photos she puts up, and endless offers of free product at worst. She started up about a year ago. If you're impatient and half-arsed, you won't make it in such a saturated market, but if you're consistent and know what you're doing, you can get something going.
- blfr 11y agoThis is about a very well established blogger who admits that "native ads might work better for independent fashion or travel bloggers — people who aren’t struggling with the ethical and emotional implications of monetizing parenthood."
- vijayr 11y agowhat kind of photos?
- kelukelugames 11y agoI suspect she is young and attractive. You can only milk that for so long.
- prawn 11y agoShe is in very few of the photos, and she wouldn't consider herself young. The photos are very well taken and generally of product and interiors.
- kelukelugames 11y agoThat is awesome! I always assumed only super attractive people made money on Instagram and Vine. Shows what I know about.
- prawn 11y agoWell, she is attractive, but I don't think that defines her success. She has a following because she works hard at it, maintains a consistent style and engages with her audience.
- segmondy 11y agosure, but for how long? the article is asking about sustainability, that's why it asks, if they CAN STILL make money, they were making money yesteryears, but it's a new day. things have changed.
- prawn 11y agoHer popularity and income from it is ramping up aggressively. She has made particular decisions with time (and has near-future plans) to diversify and make sure she's not one-and-done with the topic she covers.
