Instagram's creator payouts, bonuses, and the math behind whether they're worth chasing.
$29
About this course
The Instagram creator payouts system is misunderstood. In this course we walk through how Instagram's bonus programs work, the eligibility thresholds, the actual payout-per-view math, and — importantly — when it's smarter to ignore bonuses and focus on sponsorships and digital products. We end with a decision tree for chasing payouts.
