People raking in cash on Instagram

More people are turning to social media to do their shopping.

Some are making thousands of dollars a month by selling their stuff on Instagram.

If you search for the hashtags insta shop, shop my closet or insta sale, you'll find millions of posts selling everything from designer shoes and bags to vintage couture.

If you like something, you leave a comment on the photo.

Then, the buyer contacts you to arrange shipping and payment, usually through a secure site like Paypal.
