There are a few common things between all of the teachers in this Free Class and one of them is this… we all make money using Instagram. 

However, it wasn’t always like this. 

No siree!

Oftentimes we’d see others with “Sponsored” posts and  we would ask ourselves, “How in the heck are they doing that and how much money are they actually making?” 

The frustrating part was that no one took the time to really teach us how to do it.  No one would point us in the right direction.  We WISHED we would have come across someone that would actually share valuable information that could be used to generate an income from Instagram.

So what did we  all do?  We decided to BECOME those people for others.

YOU’RE WELCOME!!!!!!!!!

We all think that this information should be available to anyone who wants to learn about it plus we know that when we share this information it could inspire you to do the same thing! 

If you’re like us and have ever wondered how to generate income on Instagram or how much people can make with this app then you’re gonna love this lesson. 

Today is all about the money!

Get ready… a simple method we all use to generate income on IG is about to be shared with you!

READY?! 

LET’S DO THIS!!!!

Free Lesson #1: A simple method we all use to make money on Instagram.

Before we share this we have just a few quick questions for you…

1. What if we told you that you could make $1,000’s of dollars a week on Instagram? 
2. What if we told you that you could earn $100’s of dollars a day in just a few seconds?
3. What if you were able to replace your entire income right now by simply sharing your life with others on Instagram?

Well, all of those things are true, ya know… and it’s not as hard as you may think!

One way that we all make money on Instagram is simple… we earn commissions for sharing about other products in our posts and in our stories.  In other words, we are all affiliated with big brands that pay us to share about their products. 

This makes us “affiliates.”

Did you know that companies like Target, Walmart, Anthropolgie and more all have affiliate programs?  The way it works is pretty straight forward... 

• 
  ...First, you find a company you like that has products you either purchase or have products you believe in. 
• 
  ...Then, you apply to their affiliate program. 
• 
  ...Once you’re accepted you are assigned a personal and unique tracking link for their products. 
• 
  …You share your link with as many people as you can and for every purchase made through that link you get paid a commission!

Simple, right? 

Yeah, we thought so and since it’s simple let’s take it one step further, shall we?!

Did you know there are companies out there that play the role of a “middleman” between you and these big brands?  They have created platforms that allow you to sign up for DOZENS of these companies all at once. 

Instead of having to sign up for 10 individual affiliate programs these “middle men” give you the opportunity to sign up for just one account which makes the tracking of your commissions so much easier!  Not only that, but you can choose from 1,000’s of products on one platform to recommend on your feed!!!

(we share a few of these middlemen with you later, just keep reading)

Now… we know that some of you may already be familiar with affiliate commissions and how they work so we thought we’d surprise you and throw in a secret most of you will not be familiar with… AND IT’S A BIG ONE!!

BONUS SECRET: You can be an affiliate for some of these companies and earn commissions…

WITHOUT EVER MAKING A SALE!

Just in case you didn’t fully get that statement we’re going to say it again, “You can earn commissions without ever making a sale.” 

There are a few platforms out there that are interested in one thing: Clicks. 

They are interested in getting people to click a link and if you provide those clicks, they’ll pay you for it.  This is also known as a “pay-per-click” campaing. 

Official definition of a pay-per-click campaign: An internet advertising model used to drive traffic to websites, in which an advertiser pays a publisher when the ad is clicked.

How much do they pay, exactly?  We thought you’d never ask!!!

Usually these types of campaigns pay between 9 cents and 25 cents per click.  It may not sound like a lot but think about it… what if you were to get 1,000 clicks on one link that paid you 10 cents?  You’d make $100 a day! 

Imagine getting 3,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 clicks in ONE DAY! 

That would mean you’d make anywhere from $300 - $1,000 PER DAY!

We know this may seem too far fetched for some of you but we can honestly say… this is very doable!  How do we know?! 

BECAUSE WE ARE ALL DOING IT!!!

Just this past month one us made over $2,000 from getting clicks!  Check this out:

Did you catch that?  Over $14,000 in the past 4 months has been earned just from getting people to click a link!!!

Isn’t that insane?!

We are all affiliates and we are either earning a commission per sale or we’re making money for every click we get and here’s the best part about this...

YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!!

There are 2 well known middle men out there that you’re welcome to take a look at right now...

The first one will pay you a commission per sale and they have an endless amount of products you can choose from to represent… That company is called Like To Know It and you can check them out HERE.

Another one that a lot of people are not familiar with is called Shop Your Likes and they’ll pay you a commission for every click you get.  You can take a look at them HERE.

… and there are dozens more just like those!

It is our genuine belief that by sharing this sort of information we are changing lives and helping families all over this country earn some extra income.  We are all mommas with kids and are passionate about helping others as much as we can… and this first lesson is just the beginning!!!

Get ready, if you thought today was good then tomorrow will blow your mind!  Tomorrow we are going to show you how we beat the algorithm… Every. Single. Time. 

Thanks for tuning in today and if you have any questions let us know!

XOXO

Have you ever posted on Instagram or worked up the courage to finally do a selfie video and share it in stories only to be met with... crickets?!

You are not alone! 

We cannot begin to tell you how many times we've worked on a picture, written killer content and spent hours creating the perfect post only to be met with crazy discouragement when the post is only shown to a fraction of the people that follow us.

Ahhhhh!!!!  It can be so frustrating!!!

Even worse, you see others getting 100, 500 or even 1,000 likes on their post but for some reason you just can’t figure out how to get the same results! It’s as if likes and views are being thrown around like confetti but you’re all by yourself just watching the party happen!

It looks something like this:

Today’s lesson is all about increasing the level of engagement your followers have with you.  The goal is to get your followers to engage with you MORE by beating the algorithm!!!

For some of you, the “Algorithm” is a mystery so let’s start there and take a small dive into what the algorithm does. 

In January 2019, Instagram acknowledged the growing public concern over their algorithm and broke their silence in a series of tweets. Specifically, Instagram stated that what shows up first in your feed is primarily based on...”your own activity.”

Did you catch that?!  The accounts that are showing up on your feed first are based on who you are interacting with the most while you’re on the app. 

Have you ever wondered why you always see the same accounts over and over again when you visit the app?  It’s because you’re always interacting with them by liking their posts, watching their stories or sending them a DM with a question about their newest DIY project!! 

So, how does this little sliver of information help us beat the algorithm?  That’s what today’s lesson is all about!

Free Lesson #2: How To Beat The Algorithm Every Time.

Think about this… if we can get other people to interact with our feed then we increase the chances of our account being shown to them when they login to the app. 

In other words, if we can get people to interact with us then “their activity” of engaging with us causes our account to show up in their feed when they login to the app! 

Here’s what “activity” looks like:

• Liking a post
• Responding to a comment
• Watching a story
• Commenting on a post
• Sending a DM
• Voting on a poll in a story

(... and the list goes on and on)

Are you ready for the mic drop? 

Here’s one way we beat the algorithm every single time:  We interact with the people that are following us…

NOT JUST WITH THE PEOPLE WE ARE FOLLOWING!

Hahahahah! 

You may need to read that again:

"We interact with the people that are following us... not JUST with the people we are following!"

The truth is that we all have the habit of only looking at what we're shown when we login to Instagram.  Admittedly we all allow Instagram to dictate what we see each day!

It’s true!!!!

We have a habit of scrolling through our feeds and interacting with the accounts we follow but we’ve never thought about interacting with the accounts that follow us... 

EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT FOLLOW THEM BACK!

By interacting with accounts that follow us it causes our accounts to show up in their “Activity” which then increases the chances of them popping over to our feed or even better, responding to a comment we left on their most recent post!

Here is what that process looks like:

1. Visit your profile and click on “followers.”
2. Visit accounts on that list.
3. Throw likes and comments around like confetti to your followers.
4. You show up in their activity!!! 
5. They see you liked and commented and can’t help themselves but to engage with you.
6. Since they interacted with you then their feed is now going to have your account show up on it.

Awe, yeah!!!!!!!!

So, when you open up the app it’s not just about what Instagram is showing you on your feed.  Don’t get stuck only interacting with what they show you!  Disrupt that habit by visiting accounts you’ve never seen or visited before and the best accounts to go and visit are your followers accounts!!! 

… NOT THE EXPLORE PAGE! 

The reason why this is so important is because your followers are already following you. To increase your engagement you need to interact more with those that are already wanting to engage with you!

We absolutely love visiting our followers accounts, watching their stories, liking their posts and leaving an encouraging comment.  We believe it brightens their day and in the end, it brightens ours as well!

Believe it or not, right now you have followers that don’t ever see your account.  So instead of waiting for them to come to you… you need to go to them! Interact with them, show them some love and by doing this, they’ll return the favor. 

It’s like that old saying, “what goes around comes around!”

That is one of the many secrets we use to beat the algorithm… WE GO TO THEM!

So, today let’s all try it, shall we?! 

Go ahead and take just 3 mins of your time by visiting some of your followers, liking their most recent post, leave a comment and if they have some new stories… watch them!  And then, shoot them an encouraging DM! 

By doing this, you’ll get their attention by showing up in their activity feed and then just you watch… they’ll return the favor!

Let’s all show love! 

Thanks for tuning in again today and we hope this was helpful info! 

Tomorrow… it’s all about growth and we’re going to share a growth hacking secret that is going to BLOW YOUR MIND!

xoxo

When we first started out on Instagram we started out just like everyone else... with zero followers. Growing an audience can be a painstakingly slow process and believe it or not, we know what it's like to want to quit and give up!

Before you begin the journey of building an audience on Instagram it's important to keep in mind your "why."

Why do you want a lot of followers? 

• Is it because you own a business and you want to sell your product to more people? 
• Do you have a positive message you want to share with as many people as you possibly can?
• Maybe you’ve written a book or a song and you’re looking to get your work out there for people to see it!
• Or, you’re the stay at home parent who wants to bring in some extra cash for the family and you know it can be done on Instagram!

Whatever the reason may be… you need to start there.  Begin with your “why” and as you start down the road of growing, always come back to it.  This will help you stay the course, and not give up!

Now, there are dozens of ways to grow your Instagram and believe it or not, it’s much easier to grow your account today than it was 3 or 4 years ago. 

Yes! It’s 100% true!

So, without anymore hype are you ready to find out ONE WAY WE GROW OUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS?!  Good, because today we’re going to share with you 1 of our secrets to growing our Instagram accounts.

Free Lesson #3: 1 Amazing Way To Grow Your Instagram Account

Answer this quick question: What is the difference between these two images?

Yes, there’s a magical, pinkish ring around one… the answer is STORIES! 

Anytime you see that ring around an account that you love to follow you know there’s entertainment on the other side of that click.  We’re not sure about you but we have some accounts we love to follow and everytime we log onto the app we get super excited when we see they have loaded new stories!

But why are we talking about stories when we should be talking about growing your Instagram account?  Because that’s one or our secrets… one of the best ways to grow your Instagram account is with STORIES.

And by stories we mean “Story Swaps"

Oh yeah!!!! Story swaps is hands down one of the fastest ways to grow your Instagram account and the more you do it… the quicker your account will grow. 

It’s true!  Sharing is caring!!!  Ha!

Now, we know you may not be familiar with it means to do a Story Swap so here’s a definition for ya:

Basically you find another account that has a similar size following as you do and the 2 of you share each other's accounts with your audiences. 

If you’ve been on the app for any length of time you’ve seen this done here and there but what you may not know is that there’s a specific strategy to it.  You don’t want to just pick any account to do a story swap with and you certainly don’t want to do it everyday (cause that would be BORING!)...

Do you want to know what this strategy is?  OF COURSE YOU DO! 

And we’re going to share it with you… =)

First things first.  You need to find another account that is similar to yours.  What you’re looking for is someone else that is within your “niche” and has close to the same following size as you.

This is important… if you choose someone that does not have the same interests as you then you won’t gain as many followers.  If you’re into knitting and someone who is into motorcycles shares your account then you’re probably not going to gain many followers. 

Make sense, right?!

Once you find an account you’d like to do a swap with you can move on to the second step… send them a DM (direct message) and ask them if they’d like to do a swap with you.

Some people can be intimidated by this but it’s not as scary as you think.  Most people LOVE the idea and jump on board without hesitation!

After you have sent them a DM and they agree you need to move to step 3 which is to choose the dates you’ll do the swap on.

Pro Tip: Don’t share each other's accounts on the same day!  If you choose to share on different days you’ll gain way more traction because it’s viewed as more “Organic.”

… and when it comes time to share be sure and follow this 1-2-3 formula:



1. Share a personal  video of you talking about their account with their tag on the screen for your audience to click.
2. Share ANOTHER PERSONAL VIDEO of you talking about their account with their tag on the screen for your audience to click.
3. Share a screenshot of their feed with their tag… AGAIN!

If you do this sort of story swap with another account just you watch… your account will EXPLODE!  Once you start gaining some traction, you can get up to 1,000 new followers in ONE DAY!!!!

Here is a quick recap of today’s free lesson:

And that's it!

One of the ways we grow our accounts by 1000's of new followers a month is with Story Swaps!!!
