Instagram Traffic Mastery: Instagram ranking

This is huge my Friend!

Once you can master this type of traffic perfectly, not only will you get profitable results, you'd probably rank your offer on several search engines without all the headaches involved in the ranking process.

Using Instagram Traffic for Profitable Results

The best approach to get result through Instagram is to make use of Instagram Influencers promote your product, offer or service. This is a top notch traffic source.

Instagram Influencers are high-profile persons or brand on Instagram who focuses on a particular topic or interest, they have a good number of followers who are interested in what they post and share.

A high-profile Instagram influencer is a top person in a particular area of interest or niche who manages his social account under his name, a good example is Rory McIlroy with 1.3 million+ Followers. 

Instagram Influencer Rorymcilroy

While a generic Influencer might have no particular name here. Their names are always based on the niche topic most of the time. A good example here is “Golfdigest” with 629k+ Followers.

How can Instagram drive traffic to a website?

My first experience with this Instagram traffic (Mar. 15, 2017)

The first time I tested this traffic source for my eCommerce store (a Dog & Cat Pendant Store).

I went on to Instagram to find an influencer who can promote my cat pendant. I did some rough research as an Instagram newbie and finally found a guy (an influencer in the cat niche) who has a reasonable number of 250k+ Followers (Only few followers were from top purchasing countries. I don't even bother myself much because all I could care about was to test if am going to get real clicks and possibly salesI just wanted to test the waters).

I contacted him and paid him $30 through PayPal for a 24 hours shoutout, within the first 12 hours, I made 4 sales, 12 prospective buyers and others were clicks. (Real clicks because I monitored those clicks)

Not so bad for an Instagram traffic newbie like me selling at averagely $10/pendant.

Since then, I knew Instagram traffic through Influencers truly worth checking out for real and had been among my top traffic sources which I'll keep recommending especially to my Blog readers who sells physical products online.

I have come across several guys doing well in drop shipping business with this type of traffic source especially the eCom Dudes and his team. They are crazily cracking the codes.

Instagram traffic through Influencer search

You can as well search using username or hashtag.

#Step 2:  From the search result, look for profiles that interest you (Influencers with a minimum of 250k+ followers is advisable here). Open them in new tabs.

PS: If not satisfied with a particular result, try to twist the keyword a bit and research till you find the best result.

#Step 3: The drilling process

At this stage, we have to take a good look at some certain things here which are – the influencer's profile, the number of followers including likes, the engagement rate and as well as the comments per post.

 

As for Golfdigest Account Analytics:

And Rory McIlroy Account Analytics

[/one_half_last]

Comparison between Golfdigest & Rory McIlroy Analytics

Golfdigest result is fair because the engagement rate was 30.77% and as well as the comments were low compared to Rory Mcilroy who had 59.40% engagement rate and 10k+ comments.

From experience, using personal-profiled Influencer like Rory McIlroy for business SHOUTOUT is better though charge might be quite high, it truly worth it.

Most of the time, promotion using this type of Influencers brings about better result simply because it commands reputation and credibility than a generic account being managed by an unknown entity. That was why Rory Mcilroy had good ratings over Golfdigest.

Both worth checking out, test and test till the huge success comes. Instagram traffic through influencers is great I must tell you, either brand or non-brand. You will get quality traffic to your website.

So What Next?

After you have gotten yourself a perfect Influencer suitable for use, you need to contact them.

Their contact details especially their email address can be found on their IG profile or through the website address on their profile.

Please Note: Some Influencers won't reply your message. Just keep moving till you find one that will. You mustn't get tired easily. You are an Entrepreneur

Read my suggestion and advice below – Very important.

My Suggestion And Advice:

Please before sending any Influencer a private message requesting for promotion, SHOUTOUT or making payment. Please take note of the following:

  1. Always take note of their engagement rate (40% minimum is advisable)
  2. Always target Influencers with over 200k+ Followers (I personally prefer 300k minimum)
  3. Follow those of interest and take the time to check their first 20 latest posts on Instagram (do they have a good number of comments on each post. Be calculative here.)
  4. Always test their lists first with few bucks ($30-$100 maximum is okay for a 24 hours shoutout).
  5. Never and ever send visitors directly to your product offer or sales page without building a list (very important ).
  6. Your means of payment should be through Paypal (most preferred means of payment).
