Harry and Meghan 19 (The One With The Capitalisation)

[TheMustressMhor]

Off we go.

I think the film v tv dichotomy has become much more blurred. Plenty of clearly A list stars now do TV eg. Kate Winslet did Mildred Pierce after her Oscar win for the Reader etc. And there are some TV shows (such as Game of Thrones) that are so successful they make real stars out of the cast.

That said, it's pretty clear Meghan wasn't anywhere near the upper echelons of Hollywood. Suits was only moderately successful and she wasn't even a main character.

is HarryMarkle amongst us?

The petulance is obvious in the statement where they haven’t even attempted to disguise it. This is their retaliation tactic, to try and force the hand of The Queen yet again. This game playing is beyond contempt, and is sorrowful by dragging elderly family members into a battle borne from selfishness and greed. The Sussex duo have made history as the most despicable royal couple in existence, and it’s a tragedy that even William Shakespeare couldn’t have conjured up.

Thanks everyone - I did wonder whether I had digressed too much. Im having a rough few weeks & these threads & my musings have helped take my mind off things.

Anyway I hope H&M find an even keel at some point. Sadly I don’t think they will reconcile with the RF if they carry on in the same vein. A little complaining may help.

Can anybody explain how they would make money from their Instagram posts? There was a figure of £85k per post. Is that for advertising products or is there another way for them to make that money?

I've always wondered how people make money from IG.

Shows my age, I suppose.

Tiara I think the off-topics topic-adjacent conversations we have here are informative and/or funny, surely everyone will agree.

sleep I don't do 'gram but it's probably just ad revenue from the platform? Someone more knowledgeable will explain hopefully.

are they not supposed to say #ad or have they not started doing the actual Instagram advertising yet?

Can anybody explain how they would make money from their Instagram posts?

Well, I, for one, would pay good folding money to receive advice on how to live my best life on a mere £34 million and to find out where Mr LaMars can go to get his hair growing again.*

(In reality, I guess it all boils down to advertising and promoting products:
"I use Pap-Be-Gone spray to prevent those unsightly unplanned paparazzi shots".
Or something.)

*Actually, I wouldn't pay money for that.
Mr LaMars wouldn't be caught dead doing anything doing other than getting a strict No1 for any balding problems.

If someone could explain I would appreciate it. According to DM report W&K make half the £85k M&H are expected to make. Where does the money W&K make go and has it ever been mentioned before?

Oh my Godfathers!

I am SO glad that it is not only my good self who fails to comprehend how people make money from IG.

Or any websites.

Or blogs.

Tiara I for one positively welcome side-alleys.

It was the diversion of Thread 4 or 5 which led to the Robbing Butcher becoming immortalised.

Bring it on.

I will relieve you of a good deal of folding money if you just require advice on how to live your best life on a mere 34 million quid.

Make an appointment with my secretary.

You cannot make money off Instagram as a platform based on likes/views - unlike, say, YouTube.

You can only make money off product placements and people willing to pay you for an individual post. The “value” of this is determined by a variety of factors like the follower count, quality of followers (low number of bots), the makeup of followers (if you advertise Away suitcases you want to have an audience of a lot of travellers as your Instagram followers, for example).

The 85K is probably an estimated value based on all this and what other similar influencers charge. It doesn’t mean they get that for every post.

thanks, helmetflask
I'm showing my age thinking it works like youtube

I'm thinking Megs will charge a heck of a lot more than 85k for a carefully curated product endorsement.

I think it's what they 'could' make if they were to advertise products/services/other brands.

It will be because they have over 11million followers so their post(ad) would appear in everyone's feeds and I suppose they expect x amount/% of people to purchase the advertised product if it's being promoted by them. The products will be seen to be endorsed by them so 'must be worth buying'.

I think some of the reality tv lot like love islanders get paid thousands so I don't think £85k for H&M is too outlandish.

They obvs think H&M are more influential/commercial than W&K.

They will of course have to put #ad or #gifted on their posts if they are paid or given things for free. I think it would be a bad idea for their 'brand' but they keep surprising me so who knows!

I'd never thought about how the money is made before, but Googling suggests that holders of Instagram accounts who want to make money from it team up with businesses and promote them/their products.

Having an Instagram account per se may have the potential to generate income (based on numbers of followers) but doesn't necessarily generate money. Ie Instagram don't pay you; companies might.

That's the impression I got, anyway.

I am also glad it’s not just me that doesn’t understand how people make money from You Tube, Insta, blogs, logs and the such. Don’t people have to click ad links and who does that?

i think MM perfectly knew what she married into. she thought she could manipulate things her way, but didnt work.
she didnt care if 20million was spent for her wedding (she was the perfect poser there). there are things that she wants to get from this till she can.

Love island finalists can charge up to £17k per post! TBH maybe £85k per post for H&M is a conservative estimate!

I bet I'd get better value for money too, Mustress.

Now, I'll just need advice on how to get the £34 million and I'll be in a position to pass some of the folding stuff your way...

They may have a range (just like you would with speaking fees) from 85K to 150K let’s say. The company will then decide how much they want to pay an influencer. Some will pay much much more (Dior?) and some will pay lower (a charity?). It all depends on the product.

cuttingthegrass no ad-based or click-based revenues on Instagram unfortunately!

Rob a bank?

Rob a bank?

It's a thought.

This time I should remember not to wear a fishnet stocking over my head.

Rookie error

I’m researching noble eligible bachelors as we speak.

There might be a few unattached noble bachelors but I bet they are not good-looking, Worfs.

There's always a snag.

One day somebody's going to have to explain that to me; not how it works exactly, but why anyone would give a stuff what the kind of folk who go on Love Island think about ... well, anything really
