Instagram is a program created in 2010 so that people can share their photos with each other. The program has its own popular social network. In 2013, the number of users exceeded 100 million people per month. Some users come to Instagram to make money, and sometimes they manage to do it.
Registration and publication
Instagram reserves all copyright rights to users who have uploaded their photos. Logic dictates that since the original photos are uploaded, then there must be a way to sell them. And this way exists. In order to start working, you need to install the Instagram program on your mobile device.
The second step is making a photo. The quality of the photo is highly dependent on the quality of the camera. The creators of Instagram initially assumed that smartphone owners would not have to use additional equipment to create photos, but reality has made its own adjustments. The fact is that some cameras give out “on-the-mountain” photos of inadequate quality.
Advice for owners of not very good cameras: take photos with your camera and transfer them to your smartphone. Maybe it will not be very honest, but it will be beautiful. However, on Instagram, the main role is not played by quality, but by the plot.
Once you've taken a photo, post it to Instagram. During the publication process, the photo can be edited by applying different filters to it. After the photo is published, you can start selling the photos. Another service, Instacanv, was created specifically for the sale by the Americans.
Sale
Users who register in the Instacanv service receive a link to their own gallery. The gallery does not open immediately: in order for it to open, you need to distribute the link to your friends. Friends, following the link, should show interest by asking the service to open your gallery. The more friends asks for this, the faster the image gallery will open.
Now you can choose among the photos posted on Instagram, those that are intended for sale, and customize the settings for their publication on Instacanv. The service provides the ability to post photos to the gallery automatically after posting to Instagram. Having opened your own gallery, you can start waiting for buyers.
Self-promotion
If you are a professional photographer, then you can simply advertise your work on Instagram, find potential customers through the social network and receive orders from them. You do not have to invest in your own portfolio, the promoted social network will do everything for you. Additional opportunities are opened by services that facilitate the search for potential customers and subscribers: VKTarget, Userator, Twite.
