I am a regular citizen and I have 3 Instagram accounts

One where i post funny pictures with 231,000 followers, another one where i post hot girls with 51,000 followers, and one where i post funny videos with 22,000 followers. I am just a regular civilian (304K total and i started January of 2015)

I make money in two ways

1. People buy advertising from me (Example: i help them grow their accounts or I advertise their product/service)
2. Affiliate Marketing- affiliate marketing is hard to explain. I basically get paid every time someone visits the website I am advertising or buys the product/app I am advertising. Here is the definition from google.
Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.


I have been approached by sponsors and i could probably make more money if i went out and looked for sponsors myself but its hard with my busy work schedule.

That makes sense. I was under the impression that you had a personal account with that many followers, which would be very impressive.

In this case you are essentially republishing content created by third parties (pictures, videos, etc), correct? Do you attribute credit at all?

I'm interested in how you deal with this, because if the above is true you are probably making money on other people's creations and infringing copyrights.
