Hey guys! Been doing automation for a few months and have finally started to see some progress on my accounts. I thought I would just list a few things I have learnt and help anyone that is just starting out. Pay it forward type post.
-
Be prepared to burn money- You will most likely have to try out different account sellers, different proxies, different vps… lots of things until you find the ones that work for what you are trying to do.
-
You need to age and warmup your accounts- I was ruining brand new accounts by going to fast and trying to change the settings too often.
-
Get a good proxy- I went through at least 5 different 4g proxies and only one seems to work without fail. I tried to stick to the others as long as I could but in the end I felt that the proxies were bad. I changed two blocked accounts to my wifi and they worked perfectly.
-
learn from others reports and ask questions- Pretty self explanatory.
-
Do not rush the process- This stuff takes a lot of time to set up, the faster you rush things, the easier it is for IG to see you are botting.
-
Some accounts just need to die- There are some great accounts that never get problems, while sometimes you get a few bad ones that will give you grief. If they start playing up within the first week then they may be trouble for life.
-
Try different methods on different accounts- There are lots of different ways to grow an account. This is why its important to test them out to see which best works for you. I tried many different popular approaches and had no luck, but tried a few ones that did. It takes time to test so try a few different methods over several accounts and see which performs better.
If I think of anymore I will add them. Its late here, so my brains abit foggy haha.
Feel free to add any of your own guys!
