How Much A Faceless Instagram Page Earned From 123K Followers in 2023

Organic followers are your best bet for monetization.

Last year, many people had to build online empires, given all the changes that happened in the world.

Many of these creators went to earn six figures. Plus, they inspired a whole generation of creators with their content and courses.

I like to share what’s possible. It’s encouraging.

So, let’s have a look.

What’s the name of the faceless Instagram page?

I’m obsessed with Instagram. If I’m not streaming a series or reading, I’m scrolling on the platform. My explorer page holds my attention with food, pets, and positivity-focused carousels. Yeah. I’m one of those people. Anyway.

There are many more pages like it.

I found this lovely page that posts thoughts on self-discipline, lifestyle, and mindset. The name of the page is Good Minds Quote. One carousel gets shared every few days about how to improve one’s life.

They have a link in their bio. And their call to action says they are selling an e-book and audiobook. Many creators are declaring their incomes. I got intrigued about how much this faceless carousel page is making.

How can you monetize your Instagram for free?

Outside of Amazon Kindle, Shopify, and Etsy.

There are tons of sites that allow you to sell digital resources without a website. Anything digital from templates, e-books, audiobooks, music, and more. The most well-known two are Gumroad and Payhip.

These sites take a percentage after you earn. There is no upfront cost. No barrier to entry. No investment guilt if you don’t make a sale. The drawbacks are how much they take out and the payout options available. But every platform has fees either for taxes or their bottom line. So, it seems fair.

You don’t have to choose between these two digital storefront websites. I discuss Gumroad, Payhip, and alternatives in another article.

How much did the faceless page make from Gumroad sales?

The page made about 75,403.20 total, and they started posting content back in 2021. That’s a lot of coins! Seems like a good amount for a year and a few months of content creation.

The total is an approximate figure. Why? Because it got calculated based on sales number times the price. And they currently have the book on sale in 2022.

Original price (in 2021) — $20.49

Current sales price (in 2022) — $15.76

Number of sales — 3680

Those are the earning factors if you want to do the math for yourself.

There are plenty of ways to make money online. It’s hard, though. Because for the first few months, you work for free or very little before you see any major return. As much as I dislike the 9–5 world due to the confining setup, the paycheck helps in the first few months of entrepreneurship or freelancing.
