$500 - $2k is usually what a plug charges for submission through his portal like a media partner, client support, or tier 3, maybe tier 2 fmp. You’ll probably never meet a plug. Middle men mark up prices from there. That does not include press. Good luck finding press+submission for $5k or less.
Indeed, i don’t sell verifications on IG, and didn’t write any article. M/S takes enough time ehe.
Also, some friends of mine within the same niche got verified through the app. Probably 100% harder & random, but might try later on
Then, it makes sense. Articles are really the expensive part here.
To go back on the thread subject,
I never bought anything from @matusm1 but i’ve seen him since long enough selling his give-away service, to know he is a serious seller from here. Not the first random guy that would sell IG verifications. So if i would ask for more informations about this, would definitely be him (or @paradox which probably knows a lot also)
I’ve seen verification services for 1k $. I was always suspicious of those prices, looks like the whole market is just super messy and I have never actually seen proof of it actually working. I wish you all the best and hope that some people get what they want without too much hassle (6.5k is a lot of money)
