- Find an Instagram business that has less than 50,000 followers. It should be relevant to the service you want to sell. For example, I will create reels.
- Message them and tell them about your expertise and how you can boost your visibility on Instagram. For example, “I am a video editor. Would you be interested in me creating educational reels for your Instagram page? I can send you some samples if you respond to me. The first video is free.”

4. Use Instagram ads.

If you don’t know what drop shipping is, it is a business method where you don’t have to hold inventory. When a customer makes an order through your link, the supplier sends the product directly to the customer’s place. You don’t need to worry about storing, packing, and shipping the products.
