How many reel views do you need to get paid?

But at what point — and with how many followers — can an influencer start making money?

Insider has talked with dozens of influencers about when they started making money, how, and how much.

The good news is, there's no strict minimum.

For instance, Kayla Compton became a brand ambassador for jewelry company PuraVida with less than 2,000 followers, she told Insider last year. She said her starting sponsored-content package at the time was $250, and that she also got paid by sharing affiliate links or codes with her followers and earning a small commission. Instagram is also directly paying some influencers through incentive programs like "Bonuses" for Reels, which requires at least 1,000 views on Reels (rather than a follower minimum). On the other hand, other Instagram monetization features like "Badges," Instagram's tipping tool for IG Live, require that creators have at least 10,000 followers. Many of these programs also are limited to certain countries, have an age minimum of 18, and require accounts to be registered as business or creator accounts on the app. Today, influencers no longer need hundreds of thousands of followers to start earning cash.

Here are a few reasons why:

What is the most viewed photograph in the world?

Bliss Titled Bliss, the image looks so serene and perfect, that most people assume it is a digital painting. However, it is indeed a photograph with no manipulation at all. Now 69, O'Rear was driving down the road in 1996 to his girlfriend's house from Napa, California when he made this image.

Reports suggest that till date over a billion people from all over the world have seen this image. It is the default desktop wallpaper for the Windows XP computer operating system. And yet, never for a moment did the former National Geographic photographer, Charles O’Rear think that this would become one of the most recognised photos on the planet. Titled Bliss, the image looks so serene and perfect, that most people assume it is a digital painting. However, it is indeed a photograph with no manipulation at all. Now 69, O’Rear was driving down the road in 1996 to his girlfriend’s house from Napa, California when he made this image. Struck by the greens of the grass, the white clouds and the perfectly blue California sky, he pulled over and immediately took out his camera. He said,“I drove the same route between Napa and San Francisco a couple of times a week earlier, but this was January, when the grass is the most brilliant green, so I jumped out and took a couple of shots and then carried on my way.” However, all he wanted to do was document the wine-making process in the Napa Valley. Charles O’Rear was not very hopeful about the image after he made it. He thought it was just another ordinary shot. But after a few days, he was informed by his photo agency, Corbis, that Microsoft had chosen this image to be the default desktop screen of the then new Windows XP system. The amount Microsoft paid for the image is still unknown but it was the second-costliest image till that date. Since then, several photographers have attempted to recreate the image at multiple locations across the world.
