If you have any infoproduct created by you, Instagram will help you sell it, offering it to the public directly through your posts and stories.

Another way to accelerate the success of your infoproduct is by creating a sales funnel: You first promote an event that requires prior registration (conference, webinar, ebook presentation, etc.).

You collect the email addresses left in the records, and carry out an email campaign explaining the advantages of your infoproduct.

The monetary profits you can achieve on Instagram are not enough to go to live in Dubai. For example, an account that has between 1000 and 10,000 followers usually produces 10 to 25 euros. And this depends on the country. However, we always assume that extra money is never left over, right?

How to make money on Instagram if it's free?
