I started an Instagram account in April and have about 1400 subscribers. It’s sort of a fishing/repost page that relies heavily on the weird tik toks I find. I think I’m easily gonna have at least 5000 subscribers in less than two years. Once I hit that number, I’m gonna try to monetize it but I don’t know how. Can I become an affiliate marketer with a personal account? Thanks for your help.

    5k followers is really nothing in the world of IG sadly. Huge accomplishment for sure, but you won’t make any money. You probably won’t make anything until you get 20k+ followers, and it really isn’t much money at all.

    The good news is that once you start to gain followers, it gets much easier to grow your account. 5k - 10k will be much easier than 0-5k. And 10k - 20k will be even easier.

    Posting ads can cause people to unfollow you and it can decrease engagement. I seriously would think twice before trying to monetize until your follower count is much higher or you’ll slow your growth.

    Good luck!
