Well evidently photography Daniel Arnold knows what he is doing because in a recent report by Forbes, they revealed that Arnold had actually managed to rack up $15,000 a day by selling his Instagram prints! As Arnold has posted images on his Instagram account, he decided to one day start selling his prints at $150 each.
In his post, Arnold wrote, “Hello, I just turned 34 this second. For one day only I am selling 4×6 prints of whatever you want from my Instagram archive for $150 each. I swear I will never sell anything this cheap again. If you’re interested, send a screenshot of the photo(s) of your choice to arnoldaniel@gmail.com (one d) and I will send a paypal invoice, followed by a signed print. Easy peasy. Happy my birthday. I love you truly.”
It turns out that his efforts proved to be quite a hit as many had started to send him requests for his photos, resulting in him managing to pull $15,000. If fact Arnold even had one customer who was willing to pay him $1,000 for any photo that had more than 1,000 likes.
Of course it helped that Arnold was actually named the best photographer on Instagram by the folks at Gawker a couple of years ago and that he has since managed to establish a reputation for himself. In any case Arnold’s probably not the first person to sell his photos on Instagram, but admittedly $15,000 is a lot of money to be making in a single day!
