3 Ways Social Media Managers Are Making ₦600K - ₦1M Monthly (You're Probably Missing All Three)

You're already setting up link-in-bio pages for clients.

You're already helping businesses optimize their Instagram presence.

You're already doing the work.

 

But are you getting paid for it? Really paid?

 

Most social media managers earn their retainer and that's it. Meanwhile, there's a small group quietly building ₦600K-₦1M+ monthly by doing the exact same work—just monetizing it differently.

 

Here are the three revenue streams they're tapping into:

 

Revenue Stream 1: Setup Fees

The opportunity: Charge for setting up professional Linkam pages.

Most managers do this for free as "part of the package." Smart managers charge based on complexity and value delivered.

You set your own pricing based on:

 

Your market

Client type (small business vs corporate)

Package tier (basic vs premium vs complete)

 

Who to target:

 

Fashion vendors on Instagram

Photographers and makeup artists

Restaurants and food businesses

Coaches and consultants

Event planners

Real estate agents

Any business with a messy Instagram bio

 

Post on your story: "Now offering professional link-in-bio setup—DM for pricing" and watch the requests come in.

Even doing just 4 setups per month can add significant income on top of your existing retainers.

 

Revenue Stream 2: Affiliate Commissions (The Passive Income)

The game-changer: When you create a Linkam account, you automatically become an affiliate. You get a unique referral link that earns you 20% recurring commission on every client subscription, forever.

How it works:

Create your Linkam account → Get your unique referral link → Use it when setting up clients → Earn commission every month they stay subscribed

The math:

 

Client on Starter (₦5K/month) = You earn ₦1,000/month

Client on Pro (₦15K/month) = You earn ₦3,000/month

 

The compound effect:

Month 6: 24 clients = ₦48,000/month passive

Month 12: 48 clients = ₦96,000/month passive

This is money you earn while sleeping. Every client you set up today pays you monthly, forever.

Your complete earnings per client:

 

Setup fee (one-time, you set the price)

₦1,000-₦3,000/month (affiliate, recurring)

 

Requirements: Just create a Linkam account—you're automatically enrolled as an affiliate.

 

Revenue Stream 3: Paid Workshops (The Scale Play)

The ultimate move: Once you've set up 10-15 pages, teach business owners how to do it themselves.

Run a 90-minute workshop: "Turn Your Instagram Into a Sales Machine"

Revenue per workshop:

 

Ticket sales (30+ attendees)

Done-for-you setup offers

Affiliate commissions from all signups

New retainer clients who want full management

 

One workshop can generate hundreds of thousands in immediate revenue plus ongoing monthly income from affiliates and new clients.

Run this monthly or quarterly and you've added millions per year to your income.

 

The Combined Effect

When you stack all three:

Month 1-3:

Setup fees only = Immediate cash flow

Month 6:

Setup fees + Affiliate passive = Growing monthly income

Month 12:

All three streams active = ₦600,000-₦1,600,000/month potential

Same work you're already doing. Just positioned differently.

The Real Question

Most managers will read this and do nothing.

They'll wait. Overthink it. Make excuses.
