I can see where all those social medias go threw a cycle.

1. Open to everyone.
2. Lot's of people making money
3.  Less people making money
4.  Only platform owner is making money
5. Death with new platform

Someone said that you have to work insanely hard to make a buck on instagram.  I can totally see that.

Look at Dino's CB750 youtube series.  Not only is the dude building a cb750, he is taping, editing and upload the stuff.

All takes lots of time.  I think people should create their own platform to secure their business.  If you are dependent on a platform / marketplace not owned by you then when the rules change your done.

I don't think Instagram was focused on providing on making money for individual users when it was created.  It allowed Instagram to capture advertising income via suggested posts, but as for individual users, you cannot easily hyperlink to a website for e-commerce.  It was and is a great platform to share photos.  Once people with numerous followers (tastemakers) started getting paid to place and PUSH product in their posts, it went downhill for me.

It wasn't intended to make money, I don't think. But, as with everything, people found a way to monetize it.

You need 10,000 followers to get paid. In reality, with a billion users worldwide using it, that isn't that many.

Sheesh, 10,000 followers - just thinking about that makes my social anxiety level skyrocket.

Where's my tinfoil hat?

I'm going to spend some time in the evenings, and get up to 10K. Doing a bit of research on growing a followers list, a quick way to do it is a giveaway. When I hit that, I'm going to see what kind of gear I can get to review for free. I could use a new Arai.
