I do feel sorry for him. He actually could have made some money from insta and had a house bought outright by now.
You can tell he's fizzing wondering how the others have done it.
He didn't even have to make insta his job for long. Just taken the cash for ads and made enough to move. He could have stopped anytime after that.
My friend only has 19k followers and she's lifting around 10k a month in ads and sponsorships.
Yes she has worked hard to get that 19k followers. She plans to buy a house outright, furnish it and bank a few quid. Once she's done that she will be stopping.
She can't really be bothered with the time it takes to create content but she knew it would be the quickest way to get a family home.
He could have monetised his account and made cash easily.
He just didn't know how to do it or was too lazy to do it.
