Just read that post too for Instagram Influencers https://loca.us/blog/richest-instagram-influencers-and-what-drives-their-success —those numbers are insane! $3.2M per post for Ronaldo is next-level. I’ve been trying to grow my Instagram around travel and lifestyle, and I think what sets top influencers apart is consistency, niche clarity, and building real trust with their audience. They’re not just posting pretty pics—they’re strategically aligning with brands and creating value. I’ve started focusing more on storytelling in captions and engaging with my followers daily. Curious what others think—is it more about content quality or personal branding when it comes to long-term growth?
I feel you on the authenticity struggle! I read the same blog, and it mentioned how Selena Gomez’s high engagement (429M followers) comes from sharing personal moments alongside her music and Rare Beauty posts. I’ve got a small foodie account (3k followers), and I try to share real stories about my recipes to connect with my audience. The blog’s tip about diversifying—like Kylie Jenner with her cosmetics line ($2.4M per post)—makes me want to create a mini cookbook. InstaStarSeeker, what’s your niche? You aiming for those big bucks like The Rock
thx
