Unlike affiliates, you can earn income even if you do not convert, so it can be said that the side receiving the request is a low-risk way to earn money.
Selling Posted Photos
Another way to make money on Instagram is to sell your photos . There are various reasons for purchasing photographs, such as those who want the photographs themselves and those who want to use them in advertisements, but it can be said that the demand for photographs is always high.
Considering that there are people who buy paid photos as materials on the Internet, it is no surprise that photos are purchased on Instagram. Recommended for freelance photographers. In addition to photographs, illustrations, comics, and paintings may also fall under this category.
Act as an Instagram operations consultant
The fifth way to make money on Instagram is to work as an Instagram operations consultant . We will make income by providing know-how to accounts such as companies and individuals that have not achieved results in Instagram operation.
SAKIYOMI is earning income as a management consultant for Instagram. SAKIYOMI is run by a company, but there are many individual consultants for companies, so it can be said that it is a highly feasible method.
In fact, there is a strong need for companies to operate Instagram, and it can be said that it is an easy way to earn money for individuals.

Instagram monetization FAQ
Finally, Instagram pros will answer the questions many users have about monetization.
How many followers can I monetize?
Conclusion There is no rule such as "If you don't have ◯ followers, you can't earn money" . However, if you break through 10,000 followers, you will be able to put the URL on the story. It is true that if you can post links, you will be able to easily promote affiliate links and products, making it easier to monetize.
In addition, our company manages various accounts, but in most cases sales and service contracts are not so large until 10,000 followers are achieved.
Therefore, there is no doubt that achieving 10,000 followers is a criterion that determines whether you can make a lot of money on Instagram.
If you are aiming for monetization, we recommend setting 10,000 followers as an intermediate goal.
Which is easier to monetize, blog or Instagram?
The ease of monetization will favor Instagram over blogging . Basically, once a blog grows, it will continue to earn money in the medium to long term, but it is said that it takes at least 6 to 12 months to get on track.
On the other hand, Instagram can produce results in a relatively short period of time if you manage your account in the right direction and monetize it. In fact, SAKIYOMI has achieved 10,000 followers in an average of 4.2 months.
In addition, the diet account operated by our company has 130,000 followers in 12 months of operation, and has exceeded 1 million yen / month in affiliate rewards in the 14th month. However, keep in mind that this is the track record of Instagram professionals, so if you run it yourself, it will take longer than this.
Also, blogs have been attracting attention for some time, so there may be a lot of rivals in the genre you are aiming for. However, since Instagram has recently started to attract attention, it also has the appeal of having few rivals.
How long does it take to monetize on Instagram?
Since the amount of time that can be spent on account management in a day varies from person to person, it would be difficult to define the period until monetization, saying, "We need XX months or XX years!"
But what is certain is that it won't be as easy as making money in a few days. It is possible to monetize if you operate according to the algorithm, make a strategy and monetize, but it is not a story that you can make money in a few days.
As introduced in the previous chapter, the diet account operated by our company SAKIYOMI exceeded 1 million yen/month in affiliate rewards in 14 months of operation. This is the performance record of Instagram professionals, so it is good to understand that a longer period than this is necessary for individuals to earn around 1 million yen.
Can you really monetize on Instagram? Only some talented people can make money?
As I have said many times , it is possible to attract customers on Instagram if you operate your account according to the algorithm, create a strategy and monetize it .
