A social media account focusing on hockey content, initially started from a small bet, has grown significantly to achieve over 1 million monthly impressions in the hockey industry. This account collaborates with major hockey brands to host giveaways and provide regular content for fans and players worldwide. With over 85,000 dedicated followers on Instagram, the venture operates with a zero-expense model, resulting in a full profit margin.
Monetization strategies for the account include a monthly reels bonus that can reach up to $1,200, alongside a $5/month subscription option for followers. The original owner, who is transitioning into a full-time career after college, is considering selling the account due to time constraints. Previously, about 15 hours per week were devoted to managing company inquiries and creating posts. This time investment facilitated revenue generation through partnerships with hockey companies, which paid for posts that primarily involved hosting giveaways to drive traffic to their products.
The account tends to see peak engagement during the hockey season, from mid-September to February. The owner believes that with additional time and expertise in hockey, someone else could expand the follower base beyond 100,000 and develop fresh content ideas. The sale of the account is motivated by the owner’s new professional commitments and the desire for the platform to continue thriving under a new manager with a passion for hockey.
