If you're worried your Instagram account is too small to even think about making money as a content creator — think again.

Instagram accounts with just a few thousand followers are finding ways to monetize their content and leverage their smaller, and often more niche, audiences. Instagram accounts can get brand sponsorships with between 2,000 and 3,000 followers, according to interviews with influencers.
