Ipso is a payment platform that integrates with Instagram and Twitter and allows you to receive payments from your followers and fans, whether to:
- get contributions
- raise funds for a cause
- sell digital content (articles, photos, videos)
- charge for online classes
- sell event tickets
How does it work?
You connect your Instagram and/or Twitter to Ipso and a copy of your social media posts will appear in your Ipso profile. You can edit and add a price to any of them (this doesn’t change the original posts on your social media). You can also add any digital content (text, images, videos, files) that’ll only be visible to people who pay.
This allows you to receive contributions from fans supporting your work, donating to your cause, paying for your articles, photos, Zoom class, or event tickets.
After saving your edits, you simply point people to your Ipso profile (via linktree or profile bio) and there they’ll see your same social media posts but with the added option of paying to support your work or purchase your content.
Let’s do it!
1. Create a free account on ipso.buzz.
2. Connect your Instagram and/or Twitter accounts to Ipso.
Go to Ipso > Profile > Edit Profile and select “Connect To Instagram”.
An Instagram window will pop up for you to log in and grant Ipso permission to only read (not write) your Instagram photos and videos (not Stories, Reels, comments, or followers).
Once you allow it, Instagram should bring you back to your Ipso profile page and there select both “Import Posts Now” and “Import Future Posts Automatically” and then “Save Profile:
3. A copy of your recent social media posts will appear in your Ipso profile.
4. Edit any of those posts in Ipso and add a dollar value to it. This only changes the Ipso copy of the post and not the Instagram/Twitter original.
5. Along with adding a price, you can also add text, images, videos, and files which would only be accessible to people who pay.
Once done, link to your Ipso profile or a specific post on your Instagram or Twitter profile or linktree.
