Instagram has long become a platform not only for self-expression, but also for earning money. Using an Instagram account, you can sell goods, promote a person or a product, as well as sell advertising, making money from it.

Initially, Instagram was positioned as a social network for sharing photos. The functions of correspondence, posting stories that are only available for 24 hours, and advertising appeared much later. The social network has gone through several updates, almost all of which have had a positive impact on user activity.

Like Russian stars promote their accounts on Instagram and which of them is considered the most popular?

Who has the most followers on Instagram: TOP 10 accounts of Russian stars

It would seem that who should have the most subscribers in Russia are bloggers. No - the leaders remain the artists who once occupied talk shows, reality and television broadcasts. Moreover, many of them become bloggers themselves - for example, Vlad Sokolovsky, a singer who began his acting career a year ago. He and his wife Rita Dakota started their own YouTube channel, where the couple shares travel hacks and plans for the future.

10th place - Anna Khilkevich

The actress, a “graduate” of the long-living TNT TV channel “Univera”, was on the list of the most popular Instagram accounts. Anya still stars in this series, but devotes a lot of time to other works, as well as her personal life. Khilkevich does not advertise too actively and does not raise price tags - a post with PR will cost from 400,000 rubles, as an anonymous advertising customer says. On forums and special social networks for selling advertising, you can often find reviews about PR from a particular celebrity.

Khilkevich is on the list of “excellent achievers” who have proven themselves well after collaborating with many brands.

Number of subscribers: 8.4 million

9th place -Mikhail Galustyan

One of the most popular comedians in the country does not use Instagram for advertising. In his posts, Mikhail talks about life, travel and new projects. For him, the opportunity to sell advertising photographs on this social network does not seem to exist.

It is important to note that not all popular celebrities publish advertisements on their accounts. Some people prefer to leave their own pages “clean” and not sell PR to various companies. Galustyan can be counted among such celebrities - the artist is far from the world of PR through social networks.

Number of subscribers: 9.3 million people

8th place - Anastasia Kvitko and Egor Creed

Until recently, Anastasia was alone at the height of her popularity. However, since the end of the summer of 2018, Yegor Creed shared with her an honorable 8th place in the TOP 10 Instagram accounts by number of subscribers.

Anastasia Kvitko, a young beautiful model, boldly posts provocative photos in her publications. So offensive messages like: “Too much photoshop” or “Don’t breasts interfere with sleep?” appear on the microblog. Nastya looks at this philosophically, turning a deaf ear to criticism. Meanwhile, photographs of the owner of curvy figures are gaining tens of thousands of likes.

Yegor Creed's stardom became even brighter after his participation in the TV show “The Bachelor”. Then everyone expected that the girl chosen by the Russian singer would remain next to him. However, the other day, followers noticed on Creed’s Instagram an unambiguous photograph of a stranger who is clearly related to Yegor. They believe that this is his new passion.

Yegor Creed practically does not post personal information in his publications and rarely enters into dialogue with subscribers. Photos from social events, excerpts of songs, fragments of videos - this is almost the entire list of aspects of the singer’s life that he prefers to cover.

Number of subscribers: 9.5 million

7th place - Nastasya Samburskaya

Another star of the TV series “Univer”, a popular actress often advertises something on her Instagram. Who has the most followers? Of course, artists who keep their fans on their toes with daily photos, videos and live broadcasts.

Nastasya also makes money through advertising posts. She selects the products that she will advertise and does not pursue any profit. The cost of PR posts for a particular brand is not disclosed. But, if we remember the advertising prices of stars who have fewer followers on Instagram (220 thousand rubles per post for Ksenia Sobchak with 5.7 million subscribers, and 70 thousand for advertising for Ravshana Kurkova with 2 million subscribers), we can draw conclusions: that Samburskaya’s earnings are not bad at all.

Number of subscribers: almost 10 million people.

6th place - Vera Brezhneva

Singer, actress, TV presenter, author of books - Vera, it would seem, has managed to do everything in this life. A star mother and, according to the journalists who interviewed her, a wise girl, she manages her Instagram account with caution. Does not post posts that could compromise. She does not exchange it for advertising offers that are not interesting to her. It seems to follow a pre-written content plan and always delights fans with backdrops from filming.

Back in August 2018, Vera overtook Nastasya Samburskaya in terms of the number of subscribers, who held 5th place in the spring of this year. However, it is Brezhneva, out of the top ten most popular stars on this social network, who seems to be the most selective in the posts she plans to post. Her comments on the photos are the most voluminous and interesting. When communicating with subscribers, Vera is very tactful and even reacts very restrainedly to negativity, or simply laughs it off.

Number of subscribers: 10.4 million people.

5th place - Nastya Ivleva

Who watched “Heads and Tails. Reboot”, he will immediately know who he is talking about. The seventh line of the Instagram hit parade belongs to Nastya Ivleva, a famous and very positive TV presenter. Her rapid career growth also contributes to her rapid increase in popularity on the social network. Only recently the girl was inferior in the rating to Ivan Urgant and Yegor Creed, and now, by September 2018, she has added as many as 900 thousand subscribers!

Anastasia Ivleva does not shy away from communicating with followers and willingly answers questions related to creativity. Her 448 publications are mainly devoted to work, while the girl prefers to remain silent about her romantic life.

Number of subscribers: 11 million

4th place - Pavel Volya

The comedian and founder of the stand-up genre, who started his career in Penza, got to opening his own business. “Willpower,” a project he started together with his wife Laysan Utyasheva, is bringing good dividends. The married couple constantly travels, gives lectures and stand-ups in different cities of Russia. Laysan teaches, broadcasting the training process to her husband’s now joint account.

Pavel makes money not from advertising, but from promoting his business on Instagram. Thanks to this social network, his and Laysan’s business is thriving, and new clients are lining up to get personal training or recommendations. PR without the media is the most effective type of advertising.

Number of subscribers: about 11.7 million people.

3rd place - Ksenia Borodina

Who has the most followers on Instagram? Reality TV stars. Ksenia, the host of Dom-2, quickly gained subscribers. Now, for Borodin’s own promotion, he constantly uploads new photos, and also does not shy away from advertising almost any product. This brings in some income - a post from Instagram superstars can cost from two hundred thousand rubles. Ksenia does not announce her advertising prices, but judging by the quality of the content on her page, these same prices suit advertisers.

Ksenia even makes money with the help of stories. A post posted on Instagram Story costs several times less than a regular photo. Therefore, manufacturers who find it important to convey information to potential customers as quickly as possible choose this type of advertising.

Number of subscribers: 12.3 million as of February 2019

2nd place - Black Star

The label, which unites several unusual musicians, is of interest to many. On their account, Black Star producers post backstage footage from filming, interesting moments from recorded interviews, and excerpts from new songs of their artists. The label employs Yegor Creed, Timati, Nathan, Christina Sy, Mot and many other musicians. The founder of the brand, Timur Yunusov (Timati), turned the music label into a full-fledged franchise.

Burger shops, men's haircut salons, and official clothing stores open under the name Black Star. Timati plans to go further and expand the franchise to hundreds of a wide variety of stores and cafes throughout Russia.

His business is a lucrative venture that no producer in the industry has ever started before.

Number of subscribers: about 13.5 million people as of February 2019.

1st place - Olga Buzova. The largest number of subscribers is almost 15 million.

TV presenter and singer Olga Buzova has long held first place. Olga made a name for herself not only on the popular TV show “House 2” or the media scandals associated with her. Many people learned about Olga after the start of her musical career. With the help of music, Buzova “moved away” from the divorce from her ex-husband. The divorce was accompanied by constant quarrels, including public ones, and was covered by the media from all sides. . The reason for the stress is quite understandable, but even the most devoted fans hardly expected the start of the singer’s career as a cure for frayed nerves.

However, despite the initial rejection by the public, Buzova was able to break into the country's musical elite. Now she is many times more popular and richer than her ex-husband, football player Dmitry Tarasov. The girl gives concerts in different cities, acts in films and constantly appears in glossy magazines.

Number of subscribers: 13.6 million people as of September 2018.

This is what the top 10 of Russian Instagram looks like. The same trends are noticeable here as in the world: the predominance of female accounts over male ones and the “stardom” of everyone included in the rating.

Who has the most followers on Instagram in 2019?

Singer Selena Gomez confidently holds first place - 146 million people follow her. The growth rate of the number of Selena's followers is considerable - sometimes 4 million people in 2 months. Interestingly, the price for advertising in Selena’s account, according to experts, is 550-775 thousand dollars.

The world-famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo (155 million) and singer Ariana Grande (145 million) were in the top three. Ariana is more active in advertising outside her profile: she stars in videos that are then shown on TV and YouTube. Cristiano does not lag behind and is actively filming for advertisers in his field, which is how he boosts his popularity: over the 2 summer months of 2018, the number of his subscribers increased by 10 million people!

The top ten most popular Instagram accounts included the accounts of Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, Dwayne Johnson and Justin Bieber. Kim, for example, is very active in the advertising field and constantly posts relevant posts. Beyoncé, Bieber and Swift are not so loyal and very rarely agree to advertising integration.

I decided to choose the most creative and unusual Instagram accounts. It's hard to say where the line between genius and madness lies, but the owners of the following pages clearly have a dose of both: they sometimes make us laugh, often puzzle us, and almost always offer a new perspective on reality. So, let’s plunge into the atmosphere of surrealism and creativity with unusual Instagram pages.

Let's figure it out:

In his photographs, Hugo Castro plays with hands, soil and various red objects (from a rose to a pencil). With the help of just a few everyday objects that are of no value to us, he creates photographs with great emotional load. Laconically, fiercely, deeply.

The unusual Instagram of Luis Octavio Costa (@kitato) is dedicated to the bizarre geometry of street space, in which people and architecture merge in unexpected images that overturn ideas about both the streets and representatives of the human race.

Minimalism and surrealism are perhaps the two most striking characteristics of this Instagram. And also an endless number of geometric masks and flat, lonely houses, photographs of which look more like paintings.

What could be going on in a woman's head? Yes, everything, but not every lady is ready to present to the public the fruits of her unbridled imagination? But not Teresa: her Instagram is a tender combination of nostalgia, fantasy and reality, which she generously shares with us.

Vandson Lisboa is a gastronomic visionary with a very specific sense of humor. Food turns into objects of reality, and objects of reality into something even stranger. Well, you will definitely be puzzled by the banana flavor.

Daniel imagines the lives of cartoon and fairy-tale characters. It turns out touching and comical. But don’t underestimate @dcerejo - in addition to “toy” photographs, he has a whole series of works in which he perfectly manages to rethink space and the person in it. In any case, his train of thought is interesting to watch.

@belilabelle does not have one theme, her photographs are the embodiment of a free flight of fantasy, which creates more and more new images. @belilabelle herself says that she is sometimes afraid of losing her sense of reality. However, it seems that it is too late to worry about this.

Syrian doctor Ibrahim Hammad is an amazingly creative person. It seems that he finds inspiration in everything: architecture, design, street doors, chicken eggs, dried flowers... Life as it is under the gaze of a keen aesculapian.

Let's go deeper:

Creative Instagram in pastel colors. Each photograph of Anna is a funny story from life. What distinguishes her account from others is her ability to notice the unobvious and establish hidden connections between things. Sometimes the photos are taken for fun, but that doesn’t make them any less interesting.

The play of color is the main source of inspiration for Aurel. Her Instagram account shimmers with colorful colors, and everything that comes to hand becomes an object of art. The main thing is to know which side to approach the object from - but, perhaps, in this she has no equal.

The article will be useful to those who are taking their first steps in Instagram blogging.

In this review, we will talk about the rules for maintaining a personal account on Instagram. Business accounts have different priorities.

To start managing your Instagram:

install the free Instagram application on your mobile device;
register. At this stage, you can go through the standard registration procedure by filling out all available fields of the questionnaire. Or shorten the procedure by logging into your Instagram account from your existing Facebook page;
After the registration procedure, the application will automatically create a list of your friends, focusing on the friend list from FB. You can subscribe to them immediately, or you can look around a little and familiarize yourself with the rules of the game;
do not forget to allow the application access to photos that are in the memory of your device;
start creating your virtual IG chronicle.

How to properly and competently manage your Instagram profile to make it interesting?

An interesting IG tells an interesting story. Ask yourself: what will your story be about? You can tell other users about your travels, your hometown, or your hobbies. In the end, your profile on IG can be a kind of jar of happiness where you will put memorable moments of your life.

Many IG users try to “maintain” their profile in the same style: light or dark photos, uniform color accents. Tips on what color you can use for Instagram and how to stick to one color scheme can be found below.
In addition, it is recommended to choose a general theme for your account. It could be stylish looks, travel, delicious pastries, old doors, stairs, windows, or just life as it is.

Don’t forget: IG is, first of all, a photo editor, who, quite unexpectedly for everyone, has outgrown his original incarnation. Accordingly, a new Instagram account can gain popularity, first of all, thanks to high-quality and beautiful photographs. This means that you will have to familiarize yourself with the basic rules of mobile photography and learn how to use photo correction programs.

The modern reader is so spoiled by quality content that, along with a beautiful picture, he wants to receive an interesting, literate text. Therefore, a successful IG blogger must be able to clearly and correctly express his thoughts.

What and on what topic to blog on Instagram: list of topics

Below you will find several topics that will not leave your IG blog readers indifferent.

So, 20 topics for 20 days.

Description of your favorite walking route.
A thought or idea that haunts you.
If you were involved in charity, what would you pay attention to first?
What events in your life inspire you?
What new things have you learned in a day/week/month?
Which mobile device apps make your daily life easier?
What would you talk about at an entertainment conference?
Which habit of yours has made you a better person?
Tell us about your favorite book or movie. Make a personal thematic rating of books/films. For example, the 5 best books/films about love, autumn, etc.
Talk about phobias. Each of us is afraid of something, but not everyone finds the strength to control their fears.
How do you fight depression or blues? Your recipes for a good mood.
Try to conduct an online consultation on a specific topic: work/study, raising children, quick recipes, what to take on the road, etc.
Tell us what new experience you gained that day or during the week/month.
Tell us about your favorite singer or music group.
If you had the chance to go on your dream trip, where would you go?
Tell us about your rules of life.
Share your favorite places in your hometown.
What gift would be the most desirable for you and why? And for your readers? Be sure to answer the question yourself and ask it to your subscribers.
How do you prioritize routine tasks? What exactly is important to you and what is of secondary importance?
Where would you look for friends if you found yourself in an unfamiliar city or foreign country?
What are you doing now? And what would you like to do in the future?
Make your own music playlist. What compositions will be included there? Be curious about what kind of music your readers listen to.

This is a sample list of topics for your IG blog. The main purpose of this list is to give you the right thoughts. In addition, the necessary inspiration can be found on the pages of already popular bloggers.

Color schemes were created long before the advent of Instagram. They were actively used by artists, photographers, designers, architects, florists, etc.

It was they who jointly formulated an important rule:

The optimal color scheme palette should consist of five colors. No more!

Below you will see examples of color schemes that are quite suitable for an Instagram profile.

You can choose color schemes.

The more photos you take, the more clearly you will see “your” frame and “your” color scheme.

Look around: what colors surround you? Gray walls of a metropolis or bright greenery of a park? Red brick of old houses or wood dark with age?

Start from the color you live in. Or add the color you love into your life.

For example, looking at the photo below, pay attention to the cozy little things that set the overall turquoise mood for the entire profile.

Of course, your profile can change colors depending on the time of year or your mood, but try to make such changes look like small chapters of one novel.

As a rule, using the same photo editor filters helps to create a profile in the same style. In addition, when editing photos, try to set the same levels of contrast, sharpness, brightness, etc.

For example, to process the photos you see below, the A6 filter of the VCSO mobile photo editor is used. In addition, these photos follow the same color scheme.

How to maintain Instagram in the same style?

It will help to combine all the pictures into one story and some interesting detail present in each photo.

This could be a cute soft toy, a beautiful accessory (such as a backpack), a pet, or even a skeleton.

Skeleton Skellie has 266 thousand followers on Instagram

How to maintain a cool, interesting, beautiful, classy, successful personal Instagram: tips

It’s impossible to think through an IG account down to the smallest detail. But you can come up with a catchy name, decide on a color scheme, and think about the overall theme of your profile.
Your feed should contain only high-quality and beautiful photos! Pay attention to photos of top Instagrammers, learn from them, and be inspired by their ideas. Remember, it is better to post one, but worthwhile photo, than to spam the news feed with unprincipled pictures of dubious quality.
If you accompany a picture with a text comment, write about what you are good at. Everyone is quite fed up with motivational statuses from the Internet.
Each individual post is one separate and complete thought. You will find sample topics for a blog on IG above in the text.
Learn from popular Instagram bloggers. Pay attention to their photos and texts.
Find your niche! If you think that only celebrities can gather thousands of followers, you are mistaken. In the photo below you can see an Instagram account telling about life in the village. The number of subscribers is 10,000. And their number is constantly increasing.

Take an active part in competitions, SFS and discussions on the pages of other bloggers.
Don't forget to use hashtags and mark your geolocation.
Don't miss the opportunity to take a beautiful photo. There may not be another opportunity. And the text will definitely come with the photo.
