GuestOctober 15, 2025 at 8:53 pmYes! I run a community Instagram page with 28k followers that makes me $3,000 a month and I have so much fun doing it everyday!! I have done it since 2021 and made substantial money from long-term partnerships since 2022.
I try to never go viral – I slowly build a community who engages and participates and buys recommended products.
The main thing I see is burnout – people will leave their social media management career or influencing thing because it gets overwhelming/feels like work. For me, I post myself smoking weed in nature, which is something I would have fun doing anyway, but now I get paid to do it. It’s a dream, it’s the easiest money I’ve ever made, but I don’t think it’ll last forever. We are living in a creator bubble right now.
