7 Steps to Make Money with a Small Instagram - 910

7 Steps to Make Money with a Small Instagram - 910

Author: Brock Johnson August 3, 2026 Duration: 34:07
In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down a 7-step system for making money with a small Instagram account, and it starts with picking the right topic. The goal is finding where your proficiency meets profitability — where a skill you already have overlaps with something people will actually pay for. He walks through how to build a list of every hobby, interest, passion, and skill you have, then validate demand using tools like YouTube, Google Trends, Udemy, Teachable, and Amazon, or simply by posting and listening to how people respond. Lived experience beats everything here, so I explain why the topics you've actually walked through carry the most weight. From there, Brock covers the execution side: optimizing your profile, committing to a minimum of one Reel per day with 80% focused on your topic, and signing up for affiliate programs to start promoting. I get into why listening is the key to uncovering real needs, how building in public compounds trust, and why selling in the DMs converts far better than a bio link. He closes by explaining the follow-to-DM and ManyChat automation approach — a 4-step viewer-to-customer system that lets you have those DM conversations at scale.
