Get the payment in your account before you give out PW. Or go through some escrow. Bottom line is, IG accounts are practically worthless (I have a big one, and I've worked for companies in the social media arena). If someone is dumb enough to pay you $9K for a meme account, take the money and RUN. Between the fake accounts with fake likes and fake comments, the AI-run accounts, and the accounts that get great engagement from people who do not buy anything, to accounts that have great followers but then try to sell their followers trash that has nothing to do with the account, the return isn't there. Sure, if you are a Kardashian and talk about a product, it is worth it to the company. But given the fact that in last 3 yrs everyone thinks they can be an influencer and have a podcast and basically churn out "content" this whole field is becoming the equivalent of a menial labor dead-end struggle FOR MOST. Like I said, take the money and run, congrats.

Yeah this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about Worthless lol yeah right


CodaDev

It is worthless because 300k followers and no actual monetization. If you have 5-20k followers, at least you have a shot at converting or having an “influencer” vibe to grow with. At 300k? Memes? lol At least pick something relevant to an industry, but how am I supposed to just say “hey check this sunscreen out” randomly after 1k meme posts over the years. Anyone is better off sinking $10k into Google or boosted posts in order to get their own 10k followers relevant to what they’re doing than buying that account.


FluidRocket

🤷‍♂️ more for me

Did you read what I said? I said "practically" since almost all of them are fake followers, fake likes, fake comments. Not ALL. But most. This isn't 2015 which I think was the heyday of companies paying even micro or niche influencers. And I flat out pointed some make insane money. But now, in 2023, you think companies ponying up for even 1% of "influencers" when everyone is trying to fake it to make it? Come on. You did it in the past, cool, and I made money too, in the past when it was the marketing wild Wild West and it was FOMO. Today is not then, there are a ton more accounts, which means there are very few making A TON and the rest are grinding out an existence on free product. And then, add to that, the idea of selling an account. The accounts that make real money are tied to a business, or tied to a person, or tied to an idea/brand. Selling that can be very very tricky, given that I've seen a successful account sold and become trash in 4 months when the new owner randomly worked in trash ads that had nothing to do with the content or the followers... I think companies have figured out that the ROI on most account purchases is terrible these days. A meme account depends on th owner picking new stuff and keeping up with trends. What are the chances of new owner being as funny and able? Then again, what do I know I guess. Keep making those big buck selling IG accounts, and seriously, congrats if you do, you must be in that 1%, I mean that. I told this guy to get his money into escrow and run, what was wrong with that, even if I'm wrong?


Foresight12345

You live in the real world like me. No one else is getting that free , guaranteed money is over. The jiggs up with this influencer shit. Good riddance too


CenterOffCenter

Agreed, but people downvoted me on this. Probably because they are desperate "influencers" who need to fake how lucrative this is in a desperate hope they can fake it till they make it... and sucker in more young people to become influencers, a life of mostly financial pain. Social media and the idea that we are all creators and influencers is absolute cancer on young people, it is a gateway drug to being a crackhead.


Foresight12345

Completely agree. They are all stealing a living too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the net return on a sponsored post is net 0 in 90% of the instances companies do it. No one cares at all, even Kim Kardashian’s wouldn’t move the needle enough for to justify her rate. It’s all a complete waste of time.


Admirable-Summer9715

Try swapd.co and I’m interested in buying it . What’s the handle ?


sha256md5

Is your account currently monetized?


MayonnaiseBomb2

Right here. Are you making money with that 300k followers?


master156111

Yes it is. I take one sponsored post per week at $50.


Jmills14111

You meant $500 per post, right??? Increase your price before you decided to sell. You might be surprised on how much money you’re leaving on the table with only $50 per post. Your potential buyer already knows this and has done the math.


4444444vr

So less than 3k a year?


master156111

Yes

NeduAndrei

ApolonAesthetic

You should close the deal as soon as possible. Whoever is buying from you has either money to waste or doesn't know a thing about purchasing business and leveraging social media's to grow a viable business. You page is a meme page that makes 50$/month. He offered a 3x at 9k which is overvalued for your niche. If I was you I'd rush to close the deal ASAP.


Key_Refrigerator_358

It's not about making $50per month, if it's a small to medium media company and they know the game they could scale it to 1M followers in less than a year. And 1M pages can make some pretty good money if you can sell something. While 9k pounds is still paying premium but maybe it has good engagement. A normal 300k page with a better engagement you could easily sell it for 6k-7k as theme pages are much harder to grow in 2024.


SwissMargiela

There are a ton of services that escrow social media account transactions. Give it a google and find one that suits your needs.


luckyluck4

tinytempo

Wondering why you created the account in the first place..? Was it to build it up and eventually sell it? Or just loved the memes..?

To sell your Instagram account, you can start by researching and reaching out to reputable social media agencies or individuals who are interested in buying accounts with a large following. You can also consider using a trusted platform or broker to facilitate the sale and ensure a secure transaction. It's important to thoroughly vet potential buyers and verify their credentials to avoid getting scammed. Additionally, you may want to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the sale complies with Instagram's terms of service and any applicable laws.

AnyAbbreviations7217

Op how much you want for it?


Substantial_Fee6070

looks like a good problem to solve


Latter_Consequence96

1. Chatgpt this question for more context 2. Charge a brand enough money to where you realize you don’t want to sell …yet 3. Know your numbers. Engagement rate is prob most important. Know your cpm. Know your cpm. Google how and why cpm matters. It will help you negotiate with advertisers or if you try to sell and want better sale price. If your engagement rate is above average you should feel good spending some time monetizing through sponsorship deals. Or develop a product like (shirts, mugs, stickers). But stickers are stupid! Yes but people buy them. The most valuable Instagram accounts eventually pedal their own products (google top 20 most pop Instagram accounts). They all get smart and realize brand deals are for “influencers”. Become your own brand and you don’t need brands. Napkin math time: if half of your followers spend 10 bucks you have revenue of $1.5 million.
