Let’s start with the basics. Traffic arbitrage is the purchase of visitors at a low price and their subsequent sale at a more favorable price. You act as an intermediary between a buyer and a seller who has a product. You attract buyers, the seller sells the product and pays you a percentage of the attracted users.
Instagram is a great source of traffic for arbitrage. There is an audience for every taste. In other words, it is a great method of attracting a solvent audience, which emphasizes the need to research it.
How to make money on Instagram arbitrage?
Mass following and mass linking
This is one of the simplest methods of arbitrage on Instagram. For mass following and liking, you need to buy or register an Instagram account, create a profile, post several high-quality posts, and add a link to a landing page that will be visited by interested users.
Bulk following and liking can be done both manually and with the help of special programs and services. These methods are called so because they cover a large number of users. If you put a few likes a day and follow a few people, you will probably not be satisfied with the result. And when it comes to several hundred subscriptions per day, you can’t do without auxiliary services.
To save time and nerves, it’s worth resorting to automation.
Posts
Buying posts is also a way of arbitrage on Instagram.
You need to create your own Instagram account and then buy ads from other large accounts that have your target audience.
Important: many large accounts may have fake followers. Therefore, you should not focus on their number, analyze the activity of the page, check the followers for bots, etc.
Targeted advertising
You can run ads for your target audience. Such ads are managed through the Facebook Ads Manager dashboard. You can also link your Instagram account to Facebook. However, it is important to understand that if you advertise a prohibited product, you can be blocked at any time. Instagram does not approve of arbitrageurs, so be careful.
How to drive traffic through Instagram?
First, find a suitable offer. It should be fresh and exciting, as users are unlikely to respond to ads for outdated and unattractive products. To effectively combine an Instagram account and an offer, you need experience in this area, or experiment with different options, and then choose the most effective and profitable one. By offering users a unique product, you will ensure a steady stream of traffic and high income.
Choose an affiliate program and find out what products it offers. CPA partnerships are a popular model of paying for advertising per action. Choose an offer with specific terms of the agreement: there should be a precise description of actions, the amount of remuneration, and options for receiving it. You can find out what is currently in demand using Wordstat.
Your next step is to create Instagram pages that will be aimed at selling the offer. Of course, it’s much easier to buy an already set-up profile that is linked to Facebook, email, and accounts that have been verified via SMS.
Next, we buy proxy servers, which are services for changing IP addresses. In the case of Instagram, this is important so that the activity on the account is perceived as actions performed by different users, not by a single program.
Prepare content and photos of the product or service. Remember, the content must be of high quality – this will be your foundation for successful arbitration. Instagram is primarily a photo platform. Therefore, your images must be attractive, colorful, and eye-catching. As for texts, there are also some nuances. In general, users of this social network are not inclined to read long posts, so leave detailed articles for websites and blogs. On Instagram, try to post short but highly attractive texts so that users will click through to your landing page. Don’t forget that the ideal image format for Instagram is square photos.
Important: Don’t forget to analyze your advertising campaign, which ads are successful, and optimize the rest. Make adjustments during the posting process if the campaign is not performing as you expected – add and change creatives, modify and correct texts.
