Everything to know about bonuses

Bonuses are opportunities for you to earn money based on the amazing content you create.

For example, Reels Play is a bonus program that lets you earn money for the number of plays on your reels; the more plays your reels get, the more you can earn. Instagram kickstarts your progress, offering you more earnings for some of your earliest views. Track your progress on your professional dashboard and once you've earned at least $100, you can cash out, and continue to participate in the program.
