Instagram marketing just got easier

Instagram recently announced that they will allow anyone on their platform to include links 🔗 in their Stories.

Darko writes that this makes influencer and affiliate marketing on Instagram a whole lot easier…

Do you know any Instagram influencers that your target audience follows? If so, chances are (especially if you’re in a smaller market) that many of those people have fewer than 10,000 followers.

With this update, you can contact those people, and ask them to publish an Instagram Story with your link in exchange for a free product/cash. You could also provide them with an affiliate link through which they can earn a commission.

Darko goes on to explain how to find and contact Instagram influencers for your target audience.

If you have a few thousand followers on Instagram yourself, you now have another way to monetize. There’s also an opportunity there to be the middleman connecting brands with lots of smaller influencers and taking care of all the details.
