Alert: On instagram there are many pages that offer to increase followers by paying between 30$ and 200$. DON'T TRUST. the followers who fall back on you are all bots, this will only lead to your profile having fake followers as well as spending money unnecessarily.
A useful method to increase followers is to ask for collaborations from much larger pages. the maximum number of collaborations you can ask for a single post is 5. sometimes these pages ask you to pay a fee, see if it makes sense. a useful method to understand if a page is trustworthy is to compare followers - likes of the posts. example: if a page has 100k followers but its posts only have 100-300 likes, it means that they are all bot and it doesn't make sense to pay. if instead the posts have more than 2k likes, it may make sense to pay a fee. keep in mind, however, that there are always many pages that do free collaborations, just look for them!

AI Virtual influencers can be monetized in the following ways:
This involves accepting advertisements on social media platforms. Currently, numerous AI influencers are making profits this way, especially on platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
After gaining more fans and traffic, some brands will take notice and invite virtual influencers to collaborate and endorse their products, generating income in the process.
This is by far the most common monetization method for virtual influencers. The creator can place a "one link" on their social platform and create massive exclusive content (such as customized photos and paid conversations) within their private domain. This content is only visible after payment, thus drawing in fans willing to spend.
The character can be a girl, boy, infant, pet, etc. Add a name, personality, and identity (such as student, idol, housewife, CEO, supermodel, and fashion blogger). Choose the persona you think is most suitable or capable of monetization through this method.
An important aspect of character creation is to have a consistent face. SeaArt offers three methods to achieve this: LoRA Training, Face Swap, and Identical Seed. You can choose one of these methods for character creation.
Create a dataset of the same face (with about 50 images) and remove all facial feature tags to achieve a consistent appearance. For the base model, we suggest <unStable Illusion> for European faces and <Beautiful Realistic Asians> for Asian faces.
When generating images with LoRA, it's recommended to use the base model from the training (European: unStable Illusion, Asian: Beautiful Realistic Asians). The suggested LoRA weight is between 0.6-1. Please pay attention to maintaining consistent LoRA weights and base models.
Prompts (keep them simple): Include character traits such as age, hair color, and eye color. Add other info as needed, such as clothing and scenery. (For example: 1girl, Brown hair, Realistic, Working out in a gym.)
If the face generated is not ideal, use Img2Img -> Character Repair with a Denoising Strength of around 0.3 (using the previous large model + LoRA + prompts).

After generating an image with a large model, you can copy the seed and use it with the same model, along with slightly adjusted prompts, to achieve a consistent facial appearance.
Once the image is finalized, you can go on to set up an account.
