As an Instagram influencer, you have the power to make lots of cash in more ways than one. As an influencer, you are able to effectively put up a “contract” for those who are seeking your help in making their accounts visible across the network. Influencers have over time developed a level of trust among their followers that whatever they present to them (once legit and of quality), they will be drawn to it.

Influencers have a wide base of an audience (a mix of different industry target audience) and can present just about any product (once legitimate) without having an issue of it being sold and yielding a profit for the business or brand holder. Many believe influencers can only be popular entertainers or celebrities but that is not the case as you can become an influencer in your own business niche by putting in the relevant work. 

·        Create and Sale a Product 

Once you have a product and/or service that your target audience may need, you can use the opportunity to create and broadcast your brand and also sell a product that you have. Selling the product can also be done through a sale (for example 15% off original selling price) as many people will be drawn to making use of the deal. No, you will not lose from the sale but will earn more than you would do in a general online and/or offline store.
