Building your following is akin to how you build your following in other social networks you comment and socialize with others. More so, leave comments in postings related to your niche, this will work towards getting attention while you build your brand strategy.

Use Hashtags:

Hashtags aren’t tools for only Facebook and Twitter. Instagram as well, was built on the hashtag, and work in a similar fashion. Ensure your hashtag use is related to your niche to prevent loss of credibility. To be precise, don’t use hashtags merely because they’re popular, make them relevant too.

Incorporate Videos and Brand your Images:

affiliate marketing with instagram,Our brains work intricately to process hundreds, if not thousands of information every second and therefore, has the ability to get tired. As you are marketing, it is recommended that you use videos or visual imagery, using a block of text will just bore your potential customers.

Moreover, Instagram only allows 15 seconds video time, thus capture the most relevant footage like some behind the scenes or a simply DIY video. Remember to also include product testimonials, but get permission from the customers first.

Images are what Instagram is all about and will possibly be the main source of content for your Instagram affiliate marketing account. Branding images quickly spread the word.

Run a Contest/Promotional Giveaway:

People are always fascinated by free stuff. You can attract people to your Instagram account by having a free giveaway, this is one definite way to boost following to your Instagram account. You just need to be creative, try running a short contest, or create special hashtags, it would be a great way to draw more attention to your brand.

If you’re uncomfortable giving away free stuff, you can offer an eBook or something valuable related to your niche. However, you’ll have to first build your following.

Throw in Odd Adverts:

Using Instagram to promote your brand doesn’t mean you should spam audiences with photos after photos of your brand. On the contrary, Instagram should be approached as a means to share interests, entertain your audience with relevant imagery and video.

However, this doesn’t stop you from throwing in a promotional advert or product offer occasionally. Just remember the images must be in a specific dimension and use bright colors to keep the products and brands fixed to the audience’s gaze.

Cross Promote Your Affiliate Campaign to Other Social Sites:

You can use other social media platforms to promote your Instagram account. The trick to making this work is to ensure the content you share on Instagram is entirely different from those posts on other social media platforms.

Duplicating content just won’t serve the purpose, a lot of Instagram users have their online presence as well on these sites and they’ll remain interested if they find different relevant content shared and back linked to your main Instagram account. You can also use this opportunity to build a network.

Instagram Affiliate Marketing success is not reserved for only large brands, even small businesses, personal affiliate marketers can be champions with this racehorse. Consistency is the main aspect and with the aforementioned guide, tips, and a little bit of focus, your affiliate marketing Instagram business will be successful and thrive in the marketing campaign.

    Thank you for writing this post. I am new to Internet marketing and have chosen Affiliate marketing as a way to monetize my site. I have a pinterest account. It was interesting to hear you say that if you have 3000 followers on instagram, that you can charge $75 per post. This is a good goal to have. I will try and get 3000 followers on Pinterest now and see if I can make any money off that.

    I used to only think of Instagram as a social platform to share your pictures, but I never realized how much you could drive traffic to your business. The only downside I see is the short amount of time they allow you to post videos. Then again, in this day and age of social activity that may be perfect because some people have the attention span of a Goldfish. Do you know of any good Instagram tools that can also help track analytics or automate posting?

    1. Wayne says:

      It is a great platform for sharing pictures and as you say to also drive traffic to your website. Instagram has a lot of good tools with Hoot suite being one of them. You can find more great tools by Clicking Here. Happy Marketing.
