how-to-sell-on-instagram-using-insellyInstagram was created as a feast for the eyes and it’s no surprise that instagramers fall into the trap of impulse buying when spotting cool items in their feed.

So if you’re a handmade artist, an app that can help you sell your products through instagram is a great help such as Spreesy. But if you are looking for something that doesn’t require a commission on your sold products, Inselly might work for you.

How It Works

You’ll be paid directly from PayPal, and Inselly doesn’t take any commissions from sales. Once you’re up and running, just take or upload a photo to your Instagram account, tag it with #inselly and other relevant tags. You can always click on your profile and the “your items for sale” tab to see all the items you have posted.

Ksenia Rostova, the CEO of inSelly, says: “inSelly uses Instagram API and aggregates all pictures that have one of the “selling” tags like #forsale, #onsale #igshop etc. All these pictures end up on Page on inselly.com where they are properly sorted into various categories. Users can also sort items according to their geographical location and surf only local offers. When it comes to purchase, buyer can chat with seller using online messenger and buy desired item in one click via PayPal. Buyers will also appreciate such features as Favorite Items and Favorite Sellers.”

Advantage:
It is for free to list up to 100 items. You, as a seller, do not have to pay for anything. No registration fee. No item listing fee. No monthly fee. Inselly if for free for both buyer and seller and Inselly does not earn anything from the buying and selling transactions made within the site but Paypal charges sellers/merchants for receiving payment via Paypal. It is really simple and easy to use.

Disadvantages:
Inselly is relatively young so there are still a lot of features that are not available such as seller/shopper rating, and you have to manually delete your sold items but it works well for what it is.

You probably will not be able to sell anything if you do not have a decent number of followers on instagram so you’ll also need to grow your instagram follower base. You are more likely to succeed in Inselly if you are successful in instagram.

Sounds interesting, right? Nowadays, when pace of life speeds up, inSelly offers great alternative to slow, complicated and somewhat outdated e-commerce platforms. It’s easy, it’s quick and, what’s even more important, it’s free. What more can one ask?
