Meghan Markle could make a fortune from Instagram if she becomes a full-time influencer, according to an expert.
The Mirror exclusively reported in March that Meghan plans to relaunch her lifestyle blog The Tig.
It's thought the lifestyle brand could take on Gwyneth Paltrow’s $250million Goop empire and Kourtney Kardashian's $15million brand Poosh.
Like Goop and Poosh, the revamped blog would offer tips on food, travel, fashion, the arts, design, conscious living and wellness.
The mum of two could also become a kind of agony aunt, according to details filed with the US Trademark and Patent Office.

If Meghan offers tips on food, travel, fashion and wellness it makes sense that she would be able to monetise advertising her favourite products and brands online.
And if she made just 27 posts over a year she could make $810,000 - enough to cover some of the couple's expenses after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were cut off from royal funds.
The couples’ Instagram currently has 9.4 million followers and a 5.82% engagement rate - so Meghan could earn more per sponsored post than Sofia Richie ($27,000).
Since leaving the royal family, the couple has signed a series of lucrative deals to support themselves.
After making documentaries, books, podcasts and more, the couple are worth an estimated total of $135 million, according to Forbes.
Meghan is reportedly determined not to "buckle" from the pressure of being a celebrity.

Her now defunct blog The Tig is expected to relaunch (@MeghanMarkle/BlogtheTig)The 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex is said to be standing firm despite coming under scrutiny and "won’t give up" on her mission as it’s "her and Harry against the world".
Meghan is involved in charity work focused primarily on women's issues and social justice and runs the charitable Archewell Foundation along with her husband Prince Harry.

They also run their media company, Archewell Productions which makes programmes for Netflix including their Harry & Meghan documentary series in which they talked about life in the Royal Family.
They also make podcasts for Spotify - including Archetypes, in which Meghan talked to celebrities including Serena Williams and singer Mariah Carey.
But reportedly even their friends say they are taking on too much.
"A lot of their US friends are advising them to stop trying to take on the world," a source tells Heat magazine.
"But Meghan's saying they won't give up."
The Mirror has contacted Meghan's representatives for comment.
