How Much Does My Instagram Account With 12,000 Followers Make?
spoiler: not a lot at all
Last year, I created an Instagram account hoping that I would gain millions of followers and secure at least one brand deal. The dream was to build an audience large enough to become an account advertisers flock to for promotions. But let's be realistic, I run a meme account, and now I doubt that’ll happen.
But wait, what's a meme?

When I created this account, the growth was explosive.
With consistent posts (and some reels magic), my account was going from 800 views per post to almost 10k. I even got lucky and had reels hit above 1 million plays!
And you’ll see in the article below that I hit 2,000 followers in April and now, almost a year later, I have gained 10,000 more.
