How I Build a $Million Instagram Business FULL COURSE 2024 (Part 1)

all right let's cut the and get straight to the point of this video I will try to create an actual business through Instagram earn my first $11,000 and be profitable within the next few days this video is not about what someone else did and how you can do the same no forget those scams this video is entirely about what I do and how I make it profitable without using all those buzzwords and fake numbers most other YouTubers use I have completely reinvented the wheel of making money from Instagram and it's crazy how easily you can

make money and scale it to millions of dollars sounds like a scam right I get that but you will see I will keep it authentic and prove it to you live that it's possible this is the first part of a two to three-part series or free course I plan to continue this series as long as it takes me to become profitable I don't know how many videos I will have to make but who cares I will have content to post and you will see what it takes and how it is done realistically to become profitable

also a quick note this video was originally planned to be an hourong free course type video but later I realized that I wouldn't be able to be fully authentic so now I've decided to break it down into three videos which I will be uploading this or upcoming month if I succeed in building an Instagram page with thousands of followers it will serve as a positive example of what to do conversely if I fail it will offer valuable insights into what not to do and what challenges to anticipate before entering this field spoiler I did get

some good results and was able to make some money so watch the whole video And subscribe to the channel for the upcoming parts of this course first we must brainstorm the idea this section of the video might be a little boring but it is important and you must take time on this as this is probably the most important part our business is based on Instagram so we need to plan our content first we need a niche content strategy and most importantly a plan for how to profit from it as simple as it may sound it's

not to be honest sure you can gather thousands of followers with one viral reel but the most difficult task is to make money from it you only have one window of opportunity to earn from Instagram and that is the link in the bio now this one thing can bring in life-changing money for you or be worthless even if you have a million followers so I emphasize first creating a plan from 0 to 100 and then acting upon it take your time that's fine but do strategize on how you are going to make your returns I

have had my fair share of experience in growing Instagram pages and I have found that there are specifically two best ways of making money the first one is to build a brand and then capital ize on that having brand value among your followers makes it easier to sell products or monetize them however you want but the problem is that it's difficult to build a brand generally for this you need to show your face or post your original content which requires a lot of time and money but this method does make you a lot of money

so it's kind of worth it the second method is to repurpose content the old way but here's the twist we add our branding here's what I mean this page is called selfology Au this guy has found a way to mold the best of the two methods into one The Branding part of the first method and the ease of creating content of the second method this is great not many have done it yet but those who have gone viral this will become a new trend in the upcoming months this is another example of such a page

it's well-designed making it easy for him to put out this type of content the most surprising part is that his website is already getting thousands of visitors even though he isn't selling a product yet so here's my plan I will try to repurpose content about business and AI from podcasts or interviews then add some of my branding through editing but now comes the hard part how to monetize it I have tested thousands of different methods but the problem is their inconsistency their sponsorship Drop Shipping affiliate marketing and hundreds of other methods but all of them

perform poorly on Instagram think about it you cannot convince a random user who just found your page through reals your re was just another real among thousands on their timeline but there is hope yes there are still untapped ways Within insanely High returns methods of making money from it one such way is the business of newsletters now hear me out I have thought of this crazy idea of connecting these two worlds into one newsletters have been quietly exploding in the past few months but somehow it's going under the radar the emails you receive every day

are worth thousands of dollars for example this ad alone cost $500 for the company to advertise in this newsletter and there are about four such ads in this email that's $2,000 for one on email and this person sends emails daily which means they're running a $60,000 per month business just from their computer this business is unlike any other you do not need hundreds of thousands of followers or subscribers to make good money even with an email list of 2,000 subscribers you can make a significant amount of money ranging from $3,000 to $20,000 a month because

each subscriber or follower is worth more on an email list than on Instagram or YouTube now how I arrived at those specific numbers will be explained in detail in a few minutes so here's my full plan as mentioned earlier I will post interviews and podcast edited reels on a page but I will not sell anything there I will just put my free newsletter Link in my bio since my content is on AI and business I plan to send my newsletter subscribers a weekly emails on these topics here's how the math works out if I manage

to get about 100,000 views on my reals by next month that should result in about 700 to, 1500 followers anyone visiting my page to follow or view my content will also see the link in the bio from there I should get at least 400 email subscribers this number might sound low but 400 subscribers is more than enough to start earning with that many followers we can expect to make about $400 to $700 a month for running ads Affiliates etc for the first month of business I think it's great but there's another way that will explode

the earning potential Potential from $400 to $4,000 a month with the same number of subscribers no I'm not bluffing or making any hypothetically perfect scenarios it's practically possible I will discuss this in detail later in the video when I design my newsletter spoiler alert I've already made money using this secret strategy for my newsletter and Instagram and I will reveal it later there is no downside to this process it does not require any initial investment and your email subscribers will only go up over time resulting in more earnings but the biggest advantage of all is

that you do not have to rely on some other company's algorithm and be at their Mercy mostly Instagram and such businesses depend heavily on how much the algorithm favors you and the algorithm changes quite a lot so that's not a risk you want your business to be built around however with newsletters you already have the email list no algorithm can take that from you you already have a list of people who are interested in your Niche and willingly gave you their emails to receive more content from you and in this day and age trust me

that is the biggest asset you can have in any business here's a quick summary of my whole plan first create an Instagram account with a proper name logo and description to give it a sense of professionalism and branding then create reels of interviews and podcasts on business and AI with really good edits and make this editing style the whole identity of my page then I need to create a proper landing page for my newsletter the link of which will be pasted on my Instagram bio this surge of views will bring in followers and ultimately email

subscribers I will also start writing content from my email newsletter most of which will be automated by AI anyway then I will try monetizing this newsletter as fast as possible I also have a few more secret ways to monetize it even more and I will share those along the way the plan looks solid it should work and even if I fail what do I have to lose first the account name and branding I've chosen a name for my page but I can't share it yet I need to grow my page first and don't want anyone

from YouTube to negatively affect its algorithm hopefully by the second part of the video I can make money from it and then I will reveal the page for the logo I chose this logo because it represents the Chinese yin and yang and added a personality to it with the m and E letters it represents something about yourself all things exist as Inseparable and contradictory opposites like the dark and bright days of your life I know I'm going too far with this but I think these small touches do make a difference over time now we need

content for our page content can be frustrating to find usually so I think I'll be taking a short faster way you see there are thousands of pages on Instagram about business and AI that post repurposed content and gather millions of views so why not use those clips and edit them on my own give it my style these clips went viral for some reason right why not use it to our advantage after scrolling through reels for a few minutes I did find a good clip to edit it's a clip of Neil degrass Tyson talking about life

I know this is outside my Niche domain but it is a motivational speech and it does relate to business business after all you need motivation to keep pushing yourself to build a business right here's the clip it's a 2-minute long clip and I will have to cut it short and add some of my editing style to it now the editing styles are unique but here too I think I will be copying someone else I will be stealing the idea not the content obviously you have heard the phrase steal like an artist recently I have seen

many pages pop out with this creative caption Style video here's what I mean this clip is just a normal video of Sam Alman the CEO of an AI talking but the style of the creative subtitles makes the video appealing to the audience now this is not hard to make but it's time consuming for beginners but it's a necessary step in the right direction I mean we are creating a high margin scalable business and not just writing a trend that dries off within a week work needs to be done but it's all going to be worth

it to create the subtitles I have two options I can either use AI or write them manually fortunately the AI is free so there's no reason to write them manually cap cut offers us AI with its autogenerated subtitles open up cap cut import your clip first onto the timeline and edit out the necessary and unnecessary parts once done follow these steps to generate the subtitles for the next few steps you will need to know how to animate resize and customize text and videos on cap cut there are some insane good tutorials on YouTube available that

you can learn from it's not hard you can learn it within a day or two here's my final result who have ever been born numbers about 100 billion now ask how many total possible people can be born that number is astronomically large 10 to the 30th power which is a billion trillion trillion which means we're the lucky ones that simple clip got turned into this it looks good it also has that originality to it this type of editing style will be my pages branding and honestly I do have a strong feeling that this will work

out all right I've posted the video and now it's time for me to design my newsletter for this I will be using a service called beehive it's a newsletter platform and the best part is that it's free for up to 2500 email contacts this means you don't need to pay anything until you reach 2500 email subscribers with that many subscribers you will likely start making ,00 to $3,000 from your newsletter anyway allowing you to afford the subscription price easily after that but here is the secret monetization strategy I teached you earlier but before disclosing it

I want to clarify that this video is not sponsored by beehive all right beehive gives you the option to promote other people's newsletters on your page and earn $2 to5 per email sign up you send to them this is called beehive boost let me show you say this is a newsletter I would like to subscribe to so so I put in my email and hit the button immediately after that I am prompted with a page called recommendations I can now subscribe to these newsletters just by toggling this button for free but the crazy thing is

that the moment I do this the owner of the newsletter earns about 10 to $15 just from this step imagine I get 1,000 subscribers in the next month and I earn about $8 per new subscriber from recommending other Publishers that's $8,000 from just new email subscribers without even sending any emails to them this is by far the easiest money-making method I've ever come across it's kind of like affiliate marketing but the difference is that people do not need to buy anything they just need to give their emails and that's it people love free stuff so

the conversions here are almost 80 to 90% beehive also arranges ads for you so you do not have to keep searching for sponsors for your newsletters beehive will send you sponsor opportunities weekly so that's a bonus right there if this all sounds cool then you can join beehive from my link in the description you will get a 30-day premium subscription for free just a quick announcement guys I've launched my own school pay Community where I'll be uploading my new upcoming course called profit closers it will be heavily focused on how you can build and scale

link some good videos to watch if you don't know how to build a good landing page on beehive or any other platform for now I have zero subscribers but let's see how much it grows in the next 7 Days also the video I uploaded did get views and I got three followers a long way to go but doing this alone isn't enough because remember I have to write for my newsletter too I do not have much expertise doing that but I do have a deep understanding of business and AI so as long as I can

provide value and keep the content interesting I think it'll work out pretty well first I follow some other good newsletters in my Niche I can learn from their email structure how they format it how they make their content more readable and accessible ible Etc I can learn and implement the same in my newsletters anyway I will just write the idea and what I want to send the rest can be managed by chat GPT I have decided to create sections for newsletters one main original idea for AI in business will be the main focus of each

newsletter the next section will cover the latest AI developments in the last few days and in the following section I will post some AI memes and conduct real or fake polls of AI generated images this will increase engagement the first section is similar to my own channel covering AI business ideas so I can write a lot on this however I will still use AI whenever possible the next two sections are easy to cover the AI news I will simply prompt Microsoft's co-pilot to summarize any news article and that's it basically My Weekly Newsletter is ready

all right guys things have started to move in a direction I've gained 73 followers and 31 email subscribers and I've sent one newsletter so far but you know the best part I did make some money from these 31 subscribers I applied to some Publications for that recommendation offer I told you earlier I applied to about 20 Publications out of which three were accepted the rejection percentage is high I get that my newsletter is very new and no one would want to promote their newsletters on my page but I did get accepted by three of them

so that is a good start I got accepted when I already had 15 people signed up so I was able to monetize only 16 people through recommend ations but still that made me $43 honestly it's wild how fast it's making money and I'm really happy with these results so far but this does not end here we have a long way to go for this to hit $1,000 per month I will be uploading the next part of the video next month and hopefully we can end it there but we will see also I've launched my own

newsletter replace human I will be sending a Weekly Newsletter on these types of contents strategies news AI opportunities Etc I too want to grow my newsletters I have that recommendation turned on too so subscribing to that newsletter will help my channel too just saying in the next video I will be scaling this business even more and I will be reinvesting the earned money into the business here's what I have planned since I make about 3 to $7 per new subscriber from recommendations I can start promoting my newsletter through social media ads I mean think about

this say I spend about $3 the industry standard to acquire new subscribers from Instagram ads but I make $4 from recommendations so it's essentially a free advertisement for me and I also make a profit of $1 now this is just a theory I will have to test this out and see how well it works I have more crazy ideas to grow this business and I won't stop I will prove to you that a million dooll business can be built right from your home and with a very limited budget or with $0 how about that but

that's for part two of this video subscribe to the channel so that you don't miss when I drop the next video video
