Anyone making money off of their popular instagram accounts?

If so, does anyone want to shill eachother's ITT?

I myself started an account a week ago and have about 300 followers.

>> No.848892

How would you possibly make any money?

If you spam i think they will ban you and you'd need like 100k+ followers to even make any sales representing a reasonable income.

I know a fake Instagram accounts from real ones, the owner was posting material related to what I sell so I asked for a price or even if they wanted me to send them one for free.

All they had to do was post the item afterwards and link my username.

It would've gotten 500+ likes like their other photos.

It's a long story but like 40-60% of the time the device is blacklisted, OR it's in brand new condition and works perfectly without any problems and the person got a great deal. Apparently companies know when they're getting gamed.

TRue true, could buy a phone on CL right now and everything would be going fine.

Then the next day it's been black listed because the seller called in saying it was stolen so he could get another one for free with his insurance.

Still, people continue buying phones from CL.

Hey, makes me think...maybe you could advertise on Insta that you are buying phones.

Guapping is hard stuff man.

I got an idea though.

I'm considering selling blacklisted devices but just tossing on some linux distro(debian for example seems to be proven working) onto them so it can still be used normally, plus it might be kinda cool for a "le hobby toy" kind of thing. Would that work?

I'd then be able to sell it on memebay or something to increase sales flow too, and since it'd be a rather unique item be able to corner the market. But the question is, would that be allowed to sell? Since it's fully functioning and all but just doesn't run the same firmware provided by manufacturer.

(pls no steal idea btw)

That company "Awesomeinventions" has a link to thier site in their bio, that's where they just post pictures to links of Amazon accounts (the real sellers) of the people that paid for them to advertise on Insta.

The thing is that it doesn't matter to me because I pay close to $0 for the products. If i charge them for shipping it is pretty much risk-free for me even if they scam me once in a while.

I'll take it as a cost of doing business, so to speak. Just to be able to move the goods faster. Any price I sell at is making good profit when Im not paying anything for them.

It's not apple products btw.

I just don't know how it would work with all the crazy rules ecuck has, or even fabricates at times according to some threads here.

Since it's quite modded from the original and blacklisted wouldn't that cause some problems? Or as long as i plaster the ad with "MODIFIED DEVICE RUNNING DEBIAN" and in description explain it all...?

Bro, lol you can put as much info as you want on the ad. Even say it doesn't come with an OS at all.

eBay would still ask the buyer to return it.

You're lucky it's not Paypal, cause Pp would have the buyer destroy it if they claimed it was "fake"/"counterfeit".

It's gotten so bad that
>pic related
CoC players have to claim that they're selling cards/paperclips, and their accounts come along with it.

So when the buyer claims they didn't receive the account, they can't win the case because in reality, they only bought a paperclip.

It makes no sense to buy anything from there because you're just buying Chinese wholesale shit dropshipped to you which takes over a month to receive, selling on there is also a pain in the cock as everyone knows.

I've seen this a lot and i presume that they're selling things that might not be obtained legally but wouldn't they just get banned within days when ecuck sees all of a sudden this account is being used by a completely new person, selling entirely new products and withdrawing money in a new way via a different method?

Oh selling old eBay accounts is lucrative af, I'd pay $500+ for an account 2000 and under.

First, it shows you're old and understand eBay more than others, then you can use it to your advantage when fighting a case "I've been with you guiz for 20 years".

All you have to do is call in and tell them you want to change your date of birth, then you manually change the address/name/etc. It's yours to keep.

Just like any other source of marketing, you can have targeted or untargeted traffic. Building a user base of fans and providing value to them builds trust for your brand and if you do things right will lead to sales. It helps to know that IG has a strong user base of 18-30yo who are interested in fashion, food, traveling and other similar things like that.
