Social networks have become more than just a place to show off outfits and great banquets in the best restaurants. The social network has also become a source of income, and now, it seems that it is going to introduce a new modality with which to be able to earn money directly from the application.
Make Reels and earn money
Apparently, a user has found a computer screen on Instagram announcing the arrival of the Bonuses. These are rewards that users can receive when they share publications through their Reels, so it would be the first payment system for Instragram publications.
For now, its operation is unknown, but everything indicates that we will have to meet certain requirements and achieve certain goals in order to be eligible for certain rewards.
A for TikTok
This system of rewards for users is nothing more than a way of trying to attract the attention of all those users who are making the leap to TikTok, a social network that today has a spectacular mass of users and that has greatly damaged the Instagram user flow.
The first measure of the Facebook company was to directly copy the style of TikTok, hence Reels appeared directly as an absolute clone of vertical video posts with effects and marquees. After setting moderately well, it seems that Instagram is going all out and aims to get the full attention of users, and nothing better than buying them directly. And it is that, who would not accept money in exchange for uploading a simple video?

How much money can you earn?
At the moment, no details have been published in this regard, since the image of the bonus announcement has been extracted directly from the application code, so we do not know if it is a forgotten mode or if it will soon arrive at the service. Rumor has it that Instagram could start by paying handpicked content creators to publicize the feature and invite others to try the new mode.
But one thing is clear, and it is that getting the bonuses will not be easy. Most likely, everything will become a competition, and few are able to achieve the goals with which to win a few euros. It is something that we could already see in the application of broadcasts of live talks Stereo, which rewarded those couples who managed to gather a greater number of audience.
In the end, the most powerful streamers with the largest number of followers managed to take the top positions, leaving crumbs to the rest of the users. Will something like this happen on Instagram? Something tells us that this is all going to be a fierce fight.
