How To Make Money As An Instagram Influencer

Turn your Instagram account into a recurring money generating machine starting this month.

Get Started

Do you resonate with the following statements?

  • Are you frustrated or overwhelmed with brand collaborations?
  • Are you unsure where to begin, how to gain new followers, and increase your engagement rate?
  • Are you getting comments or DMs like “be my brand ambassador” but then they ask you to pay for shipping?
  • Are you getting lots of free gifts but can’t seem to land a paid brand deal?
  • Are you nervous about negotiating with brands and wondering what the social etiquette is?

If you resonate with any of those statements, you’re at the right place.

I started my influencer journey with 5 years ago with 623 followers.

Since then, I've grown my audience to over 300,000+ across my social media platforms and have worked with:

  • BestBuy
  • Target
  • Sephora
  • Ulta
  • FujiFilm
  • Amazon
  • Intel
  • 1000+ other large and small businesses

And currently post a paid campaign almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I can't remember the last time I purchased my own makeup, skincare, haircare, clothing, office supplies, kitchen supplies, tickets to events... the list goes on.

Imagine if you can cut out all those expenses in your life and GET PAID FOR THEM instead.

Colleen went from 0-20 brand deals in one week!

Before taking the course, she was getting rejected by most brands.


I was getting denied by every brand I reached out to before taking the course. Most of the time I would not even receive a response from the brand! Since I have completed the class, I have been contacted by over 20 brands, with some being paid offers.

A common misconception is that an influencer’s worth is based on the number of followers they have.

It's not about how many followers you have.

  • You may have 200 followers and be making $0.
  • You may have 200,000 followers and STILL be making $0.
  • You may have 2,000 followers and be making $2,000 per month.

Khala went from 5.6K to 5.7K after sitting on 5.6K for YEARS.

She also landed a HUGE brand partnership and will be referencing the course for years to come.


People spend thousands on courses that don’t even a quarter of the knowledge and resources shared throughout this course. There were nearly 50 lessons, 12 of them being additional bonus information that we can use outside of just influencing! The resources are limitless, this course is a MUST HAVE!

- Khala Simmons

What a lot of my students have learned is what is commonly perceived to be important… actually is not. While the metrics that are important are rarely discussed publicly.

Rosemary finally cracked 5K after taking the course!

Brands are now reaching out to her for collaborations.


My engagement has skyrocketed, I’ve learned how to produce video content, I’m pitching to brands I’d love to work with, and I’m not spending anywhere near as much time as I used to on Instagram either. I can’t recommend this course highly enough. It changed everything for me!

- Rosemary Slade

When you start working with brands, not only do you get paid to post, but they actually grow your account for you because they share your content with their audience!

This is how you GET PAID TO GROW YOUR INSTAGRAM FOLLOWING.

But more important than gaining followers, is learning how to run your Instagram like a business.

Ashley's engagement SKYROCKETED after she took the course!

She learned how to step back and look at her Instagram like a business.


Ever since I completed the class, my engagement has honestly skyrocketed. This course has really taught me to take a step back and notice what my audience is genuinely engaging with. This course is great if you have no clue where to get started.

Kacie learned how to build her following ON and OFF instagram!

She also stopped stressing about the legalities involved with being an influencer.


Personally, the most helpful tips for me were: Pitching to brands, defining my audience, learning the importance of and how to build my presence on other platforms besides Instagram (such as my website, email list and other social media platforms), and the legal stuff (LBB breaks it down and explains it in an easy-to-understand way).

Frequently Asked Questions


What format will the course be delivered in?
Written so you can read it any time without having to worry about headphones or clunky formatting. We do have video coming soon too in order to supplement the text.
When does the course start and finish?
It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
How quickly will I get results?
Depends on how quickly you go through the course and implement the strategies. Result times vary because everyone has different goals.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
If you go through the course, implement the strategies, and don't see any results, you can email the LadyBossBlogger team ([email protected]) within 30 days for a full refund. Note: You must show that you went through the course and took action, because none of the tips and methods I share will work without you taking the time to implement them. All refunds are subject to the terms of the full refund policy linked on the footer of this page.
Can I find this information for free online?
Nope! The information you'll find online skims the surface, there is a reason why people sell courses because they don't give away their best information for free. If you want deep blogging knowledge (that actually works) it's in this course.
Do you ever update the course?
Yep! As the influencer industry morphs and changes, the course will too. This is why I love online courses because unlike physical books, they can be updated and distributed immediately.

Ashley learned how to pitch brands correctly!

She also created her very first media kit.


My favorite part of the course was the section about pitching brands. I also took some tips away from the media kit section and now have something that I can actually share with brands! Finally, I didn't realize that my Instagram bio needed a makeover and have been able to improve it according to Elaine's suggestions.

Roxi wished she had taken this course at the beginning of her journey.

Save yourself the headache of trying to figure it out yourself!


I wish that I had taken this course from the very beginning of my journey as it would have prepared me to pitch brands right from the beginning the right way. One of the biggest things I have gained from this course is being more confident and knowing what value I have to give!

Selah didn't expect this to happen after taking the course...

Her confidence and pride in being a content creator grew immensely!


Something I didn't expect was how much my confidence grew. Another thing that I loved about this course is I feel much more secure in my job as an influencer. Lady Boss Blogger really opened up my eyes to how much influencers are really doing for companies and made me proud to be an influencer and content creator.
