Here are five ways in which you can earn millions on social media:

Promote affiliate products

Whether you're in the fashion business or part of the technology industry, you can find great products to promote on ClickBank. You can also become an Amazon Associate by promoting the products of your choice and earning commission on them. However, instead of spamming your Twitter with promotional links, post honest reviews about the products you're promoting on your blog or on Facebook. Make sure you mention what you like and don't like about the product. When your followers begin to look forward to your reviews, you'll earn quick money.

Start an influencer marketing consultancy

Hundreds of brands across various industries indulge in social media influencer marketing. However, with the sheer volume of influencers out there, brands have a hard time picking out the genuine ones from the crowd. That's where your influencer marketing consultancy steps in. You help brands identify the right influencers for their campaign and guide them each step of the way – right from communicating with the influencers on a daily basis to measuring the success of the campaign.

Start a business on Instagram

Do you have a great sense of style? Are your friends always enquiring where you purchased your latest pair of heels from? Why not make a business out of your hobby? Create a business account on Instagram and start posting beautiful pictures of your latest purchases. You can buy fashion items in bulk and sell them online and earn big bucks by doing what you love.

Become a freelance social media manager

Social media is constantly evolving. Due to this, the average business owner finds it time-consuming and challenging to stay updated with the best practices that can boost their digital presence. This is why social media management is one of the most in-demand freelance specialties. Also, it pays extremely well. Most freelancers charge up to ₹50,000 per month from their clients for daily updates and responding to customer service concerns across all platforms that their clients are present on.
