Instagram is no longer just a platform for sharing photos and videos, but it has become a great means of earning. If you are active on social media and have a good following, then Instagram's new referral program can prove to be very beneficial for you.
Users will get rewards for connecting their friends to Instagram
Instagram has recently launched a new referral program, in which users will get rewards for connecting their friends and acquaintances to Instagram. If a person downloads the Instagram app or creates an account from the special link given by you, then you will get a cash reward in return. Under this program, a user can earn up to $ 20,000 (about Rs 16 lakh).
How does the referral link work?
The user will get a special referral link from Instagram, which he can share on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram Story or any social media platform. When someone downloads the app or joins Instagram through that link, Instagram keeps track of it and earns on that basis.
This scheme is especially beneficial for those who are content creators or spend a lot of time on social media. Students and small influencers who know how to communicate with people can also take advantage of this opportunity.
Programme likely to be launched in India
At present, this program has started only in the US. But it is expected that in future it will be launched in other countries including India. Till then Indian users will have to earn from existing features like brand deals, sponsored posts and promotions.
How to create a referral link?
Log in to Instagram
Go to the referral or partnership section
Generate your unique link from there

See in the app how many people joined through your link and how much you earned
Other ways to earn
Apart from the referral program, there are other ways to earn from Instagram, such as brand collaborations, sponsored posts, gifts and promotional campaigns. But the referral program has emerged as an easy and fast earning opportunity for new users.
