Grew an IG to almost 8K (making 4 figs)

I started from zero like everyone. In Janaury I started a new IG. Growth was slow in the beginning.

Over time I started learning little tips and tricks to get the best results for my Instagram account growing the followers, improving engagement, getting leads and making sales which ultimately helped me create a new income stream earning an average of around $5k a month.

Now I have just under 8K followers and I can appreciate the journey I went on.

I became pretty obsessed with growing my Instagram account and so I heavily research ways to come up with viral post ideas, get the most engagement, drive leads to my email list and I bought a number of guides and courses to help me get here.

I once heard in a podcast that if you have 10K followers you can make 10K a month and I can see that'd a real possibility for me in the future.

I monetize by selling digital products and services.

What are some other ways you think I can capitalize off this small IG acct?
