This woman makes more money talking selfies than working

by

Being Insta-famous and posting a selfie can make you more money than working four days a week, according to this social media model. 

So, where can we sign up then?!

Gabrielle Epstein, from the Gold Coast, Austrailia, has nearly 700,000 followers on Instagram and makes her money by carefully placing endorsements in her IG snaps. 

When a person gains more than 100,000 followers on the picture-sharing site, companies start to take notice and use these Insta-models to promote their business.

So we have a long way to go then ladies!

"I definitely earn more money from Instagram, 100 per cent, " Gabrielle told the Gold Coast Bulletin.

"About a year and a half ago I was travelling to Brisbane a lot for work and by the time you take out the agency's 20 per cent, GST on commission and then tax, the model is left with little."

Ms Epstein includes clothing, jewellery and cosmetic products in her pictures, which can sometimes reach up to 25,000 likes. 

According to the model, companies can pay her hundreds for a single post and thousands for campaigns which run over a number of weeks.

And another model using her Insta-status to gain more money is singer, Cody Simpsons's friend, Ruby Green, 17. 

She has just over 165,000 followers and says that Instagram has helped her receive receive gifts from companies who pay her to post about their products.

"Instagram has its perks and has helped me a lot with getting my name out there."
