Now the the Kardashian clan is earning millions off of social media. According to Page Six, it costs $400,000 to get the Kardashians to post your product on Instagram.
“In the old days, you’d buy ads in magazines and TV spots,” a marketing mogul told me. “Now, for $400,000, you get the Kardashians to post on Instagram.”
Kim Kardashian, under the influence of her husband Kanye West, cuts her own deals for up to $200,000.
But her sisters, under the management of mother Kris Jenner, work in unison. “The mother is doing bundle-buys.”
This news comes after D-list celebrities have started freaking out on Instagram. For example, if you are following more than just your close group of friends on Instagram, you may have noticed a several photos pleading followers to “Turn notifications on!” or you may have seen the hashtag #TurnMeOn in your newsfeed with an arrow. Apparently, “Instagram will stop arranging photos in your feed in simple reverse chronological order, instead sorting them algorithmically based on your behavior.” Just like your Facebook feed.
