Let’s just go ahead and say it: Instagram isn’t dead.
Your strategy might be though. 😅
Listen, I've had a LOVE/HATE relationship w/IG for YEARS - and I can finally say we're in harmony and I see now why sooooooo many people love it and swear by it!
If you’ve been side-eyeing IG because your posts are flopping, your Reels aren’t hitting, or you’re stuck at 312 followers (hi, we’ve all been there)... I get it.
But before you jump ship to yet another platform, hear me out:
Instagram is still one of the most powerful tools for digital creators who want to monetize — especially if you’re just getting started.
Here’s why:
💸 1. It’s a Visual Marketplace Built for Buyers
People aren’t just scrolling for inspo anymore — they’re shopping with their eyes. Instagram is basically the digital version of window shopping, and if your content is showing up with the right message and offer? Boom. You’ve got a sale.
From Reels to carousels to Link in Bio shops, IG gives you multiple touchpoints to show up, serve, and sell.
💬 2. You Can Connect With Your Audience Directly
Let’s be real — there’s no warmer lead than someone who slid into your DMs after watching your Story. That level of intimacy is something most platforms can’t touch.
Even without a huge following, you can build a profitable brand by simply having conversations and sharing value consistently.
🎯 3. You Don’t Need a Huge Audience to Make Sales
Gone are the days where you needed 10K followers and a swipe-up link. You can have 300 followers and still make $3K if you’re strategic.
The Lazy Girl secret? Focus less on going viral and more on building relationships and creating high quality content. Micro-audiences convert like crazy when you show up with content that solves their problem.
🧰 4. Instagram Gives You All the Tools
You don’t need to buy 10 different softwares to make this work. IG gives you:
- A full content suite (Reels, Stories, Carousels, Lives)
- Built-in messaging for sales and support
- Highlight bubbles to serve like a website
- Link features to direct traffic anywhere you want.
Plus - with features like Broadcast Channels and Subscriptions, they’re doubling down on creator monetization.
💡 5. It's The Best Platform for Personal Branding
People buy from people — not perfect sales pages.
Instagram lets you show the messy, real, behind-the-scenes you. And that authenticity builds the kind of brand that lasts 5+ years, not just 5 minutes. Even if you eventually want to go “faceless,” IG is the perfect place to establish your voice, your story, and your signature content style.
🚀 Final Thoughts
If you’ve been sleeping on Instagram, this is your wake-up scroll.
With the right niche, a low-ticket offer, and content that actually connects — you don’t need to hustle 10 hours a day.
You just need to show up consistently, serve generously, and sell simply.
That’s what we you'll learn inside of this new Instagram course! Forget about buying courses to flip a quick buck.
