and how make money for those always-holidays? ;)

i have a friend who used to model, she has a little over 200,000 followers on instagram. she earns a lot from sponsors just by doing shoutouts—- More than enough for rent and international travel every 3-4 months.This dude has almost a million followers. Pretty sure he earns a whole lot more.

and even if he doesn’t, have you seen his ig stories? He travels cheap. He flies with budget airlines, rides on those ultra slow overcrowded ferries in asia, rides on makeshift rickshaws and tuktuks on long distances even when cabs are available. He stays at cheap hotels and resorts even when there are five star resorts in the same area. I’d be more inclined to believe he’s an escort if he always flew first class and stays at five star hotels like a number of so called influencers.

So your friend actually gets paid large sums of money for the shoutouts? I always thought Instagram influencers were just given freebies for doing shoutouts, not actual money.

Off topic lol but yeah. some just give free stuff, especially small businesses. If you can prove you can increase sales they give cash, same as with other forms of promotion. The freebies in exchange for promotion seems to be more in line with lower tiered “influencers”. This is an extreme example, but someone like kylie jenner surely won’t just take freebies in exchange for shoutouts.

So if someone has 100,000 followers or more, should I assume they’re getting money for shoutouts rather than just freebies?

Dude I dunno for sure. I’m just assuming if you really bring in a lot of sales you wouldn’t just do it in exchange for free products. Especially if you have no real use for the products in the first place. Been hearing that a lot of these “influencers” consider what they’re doing as their job. I don’t think anyone could live off on just freebies.
