Since Instagram started short video content creation or reels, it has become massively popular among creators to showcase their creativity to engage the audience. As per Forbes, not only that, they can now monetise their Instagram content and earn a hefty sum of money as an influencer.
If you've ever seen your favourite influencer sharing a product in their content with #ad or #sponsored, you've likely seen sponsored content. As per influencer marketing experts, sponsored brand partnerships are a major source of income for most Instagram creators. These collaborations allow influencers to work with brands and showcase products or services to their followers.
Affiliate partnerships, though a type of sponsored brand collaboration, offer creators a different way to monetise their content by earning commissions rather than a flat rate. As per tech websites, through affiliate marketing networks or directly from the brand, creators earn a percentage of sales — typically anywhere from 5-30% — made via their referral links or discount codes.
While very different from TikTok's Creativity Programme, Instagram does offer its incentive programme to reward creators for posting on the app. As per Instagram's official statement, "Bonuses are opportunities for creators to earn money directly from Instagram." Currently, the feature is only available for business and creator accounts on the app.

Traditionally, user-generated content is the content that users of a certain product organically create and post on social media apps. However, as per marketing experts, since influencer marketing has grown exponentially, many brands are hiring creators specifically to make organic-style content for them.
You can also earn money straight from your audience on Instagram. As per Instagram's guidelines, anyone viewing a piece of content can purchase "stars" and use them to purchase a virtual gift for you as a "thank you" for sharing the content. When those gifts are sent to the creator, they receive a revenue share equal to $0.01 USD (approx. 0.82 INR) per star.
As per digital marketing experts, the best way to earn money is through Instagram reels, which is a game-changer for influencers who love to create videos on Instagram. Instagram Ads are the best way to earn money as you can showcase your product in 30-second reels and put a call-to-action button (CTA) on your reels. The more people make purchases through your CTA, the more you will earn.
