Instagram is offering cash bonuses to creators who post content to the Meta-owned app with new programs. While the company had previously doled out cash to creators who posted engaging videos, this time it's also compensating users for posting photos. Instagram is "testing" a "Spring Bonus," a seasonal program that pays creators for engagement on reels, photo carousels, and single-image photo posts, a Meta spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider. The current Spring Bonus had previous iterations as a "holiday bonus" and "New Year's bonus," and is now only available in the US, Japan, and South Korea. Mike Potter, who runs the Instagram account @grippingfoodwithforce, told BI he was notified about the Spring Bonus on March 29.
