First, let's divest into what you will need to start an instagram live account:

If I were starting a live sale...

I would figure out how to offer something unique and price conscious to your friends, family and acquaintances, because these are the folks who are already following you.  Start with the couple hundred of individuals that you're connected with and look to secure consistent revenue from providing a stellar product and service to friends and loved ones. 

I would do everything in my power to create a following for free. Posting trends, unique deals and fresh takes on what's going on in fashion industry. Once I started spending money I would head straight for facebook which does really amazing targeted ads that are much more cost effective than anything in the market.
