Yes, thousands of people make money with their social media. Below are 3 common ways to make money with your social media accounts.

EASY WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AS A SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER OR CONTENT CREATOR

THE MOST COMMON WAY TO MAKE MONEY IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN BRANDS AND INFLUENCERS THROUGH SPONSORED POSTS. A SPONSORED POST IS WHEN AN INFLUENCER CREATES A PICTURE WHERE HE/SHE HIGHLIGHTS A SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR A BRAND. THE POST SHOULD INCLUDE @MENTIONS TO THE BRAND, SPECIFIC HASHTAGS OR LINKS, AND #AD OR #SPONSORED.

You can get sponsored post by either reaching out to brands directly or joining influencer marketing platforms. These platforms work to connect brands and influencers in a quick and easy way. If you reach out to brands directly you will have to find the right contact person, cold pitch them, and negotiate your rate. All of that can be little daunting starting out. That’s why I would suggest starting with influencer marketing platforms first for quick and easy ways to collaborate with brands.

JOIN AFFILIATE PROGRAMS

ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE MONEY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA IS THROUGH AFFILIATE PROGRAMS. I MAKE THOUSANDS A MONTH FROM AFFILIATE.

Affiliate programs basically pays you commissions for every sale you make. So you can make money as a blogger with affiliate links as well as an influencer.

You can add an affiliate link to your bio or in a posts promoting suitable products in your niche and earn some money if someone buys something. As an affiliates, you only get paid a commission if a product is purchased through your unique link or with a discount code. One hurdle is getting people to click your links, and further getting them to actually buy something. Some affiliate programs are magiclinks, LIKEtoKNOW.it, ShopStyle, and Shareasale. There are so many other affiliate programs, you just need to find the right one for your niche.

I also have a blog, which is what you are reading. Blogs are also a great way to share information.

PROMOTE YOUR OWN PRODUCTS

And lastly, of course you can use social media to promote your own products. For instance, I have an online store (www.shopangelgrace.com) that I also make money from. Do you have merchandise, own a flower shop, fashion boutique, dentist office, or any other type of product or service you would like to sell to the public? Your aim is to grow your following and engagement. Find out some of my growth hacks for Instagram and read some of my Tips to growing my social media. With strategy and success, you can definitely have the opportunity to make a side hustle income or full time income with your social media.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE?

I’m glad you asked. I’ve been paid as little as $200 for a tweet to as much as $11,000 for a combination of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Blog, and Youtube posts.

Social Blue book can help you calculate your worth as well as Influencer marketing hub’s calculator and Sponsored Post Caulculator. Those tools are to just help you see your worth, however, beware that brands may very well not pay you that much. That’s more on the higher end but it’s just to give you an idea.

Many influencers have grown their audience enough that their full time job is now running their social media campaigns. There are tons of social media influencers earning way over $1,000,000!

Not everyone can make six-figures from their social media, but many people are using social media as a side hustle or part time job. From lifestyle and travel bloggers to normal people and star vloggers. Social media has revolutionized the way visual storytellers (photographers, travelers, foodies, fitness junkies, yogis, fashion icons, actors, folks with interesting lives, etc) showcase their talents, make friends, get fans and earn money.1

I am by far no celebrity but have managed to grow my social media to over 460,000 supporters. My channels include Tiktok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Youtube. Growing my following has taken years. I’ve been fortunate enough to make a full time income from it working with some major brands including, Olay, Coca Cola, Disney and tons more. How?
