These bloggers earn thousands of pounds on Instagram, here’s how they do it… and whether you could too
It's not just celebrities who can do sponsored posts for cash
MOST of us are delighted with a couple of hundred followers on Instagram.
But some people are making so much money from social media that they've made it into their career.
These bloggers are all making a living from the image sharing site, thanks to brand partnership app Takumi - which launched in November 2o15.
With companies paying as much as £2,000 per picture, this lot are all proof that it's not just celebrities and reality TV stars who can make money with sponsored posts.
Ivona Moore
The 24-year-old can make more than £100 per picture and, unlike many other bloggers, she doesn't even own a camera - and takes the snaps on her mobile phone.
"Imagine just taking photos for a living? So many bloggers are able to do that nowadays. Everything is possible if you invest your time."
Ivona describes her photos as 'minimalist and clean'.
Neel Patel
When Neel was a university student, his page consisted of pics of his food and nights out with friends.
Now the 22-year-old Londoner has more than 35,000 followers, thanks to eye-catching pictures of him on his travels.
Neel makes up to £300 per snap, meaning he can use as his full-time job.
He has teamed up with clothing brands, travel companies, and hotel chains. Neel was even flown to Eindhoven, in Holland, on an all-expenses-paid.
He insists Insta-fame is time-consuming work. Christopher said: "People start following you when they see that human factor in your profile.
"That is why I try to keep answering every single comment on my posts personally.
"I answer all of the messages I get too because seeing people rate my work keeps me going, and everyone that spends those seconds of their day liking my picture and commenting deserves my time too."
