Let people know that you’re an expert. Start sharing content where you’re an expert. People won’t buy from you unless they believe that you know something.
So you better start sharing the things that you know, and people won’t know to buy from you unless they know that you do something.

How To Make Money Off Social Media Accounts That Are Big
Let’s just imagine for a moment your social media is big. It’s doing awesome. You’ve got an engaged audience, and you want to know how do I profit from this?
Well, one of my friends has an Instagram page called “Coffee with Men” or something like that. It’s a cool page where she posts pictures of sexy guys with their shirts off or guys hanging out and drinking coffee.
I asked her, “Hey, do you make money from this? You’ve got a lot of followers. It looks cool.” She said, “Yeah. I’m making a couple of thousand dollars a month just from posting pictures.” And I asked her, “How are you doing that? I want to do it.” And she said, “Well, companies are starting to approach me because first, models want it. Models want to pose for my big Instagram following, and coffee companies want their coffee mugs or coffee brands inserted into the images.
How To Make Money Off Social Media – Find Sponsors
So if you’re growing your social media following, you can find sponsors or companies to pay you money to insert their products or services right inside your social media.
Here’s another way to profit from your social media expertise.
If you’re crushing it with social media and you’re growing it, you’re going to find a lot of people that want you to do the same thing for them.
For example, I’m a very busy person. I have a lot of stuff on my plate. So I’ve hired several people to manage things like Instagram and Twitter for me. Even my Facebook following, I’m starting to hire different people to do the stuff for me because I’m busy. But I just don’t hire anybody. I want individuals with proven success in the area.
How To Make Money Off Social Media With A Big Following
If you’re crushing it with social media and you haven’t monetized it yet but you’ve got a big following and an engaged audience, just go out for people like myself. And say, “Hey, I’ve noticed that you’re doing a podcasting, you’ve got a website and this social media branding stuff that you’re doing. I’d love to help you grow your social media. Can we chat about it?”
Go ahead. Grow your social media following. If it’s doing well, go and start asking other people if you can do it for them and create some price charts.
