i know a very successful artist group named brokenfingaz (also their name on instagram) i recently checked their followers growth through socialblade, they getting between 50-300 new followers daily, they dont using hashtags (1 or 2 if they collaborate with other artists) they dont use follow/unfollow method they more like having organic growth based on their skills and the exposure they made over the years) can i found out somehow quick where they getting leads from or any data about their traffic etc? or somehow learn from them in any way? thx for your wisdom wizards of the mpsocial society ---

Usually at their size gaining 50-100 followers a day is normal. If you want to know a little more I would take a look at [Influencerdb.net](http://Influencerdb.net) . They provide data about the target audience etc. ---

They’re probably using shoutouts. Maybe they have couple of bigger accounts and using them to promote their new accounts. It’s nothing new, people do it all the time with IG accounts, they make new ones and promote them to have them as backup in case their original account gets banned. I saw same thing happening with Facebook pages. For example, This page: [Male Thoughts](https://www.facebook.com/RealMaleThoughts/) was built by [Sarcasm Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/sarcasmLOL) Page was started 14 days ago and got from 0 to 1,2 milion. Owner used his main page with 35 milion fans to share posts from new page and get fans. That’s basically building a backup page.

> [@cutapig](#): > > infuencerdb This is exactly what I just saw some days ago… there is an account with around 1.5k followers gaining around 100 followers a day without even using hashtags? How would that be possible? I dont believe they are using shoutouts… has instagram changed something about how the hashtags work? Because I have been using the hashtag strategy Brandon Brenner suggested but I am having less and less success with it… I was wondering if there was a certain change in algoritm that is responsible for this? Thanks in advance, M. ---

> [@Grummel1](#): > > [Influencerdb.net](http://Influencerdb.net) I’ve been feeling this as well. Hashtags have been getting less and less likes. Don’t know if Instagram changed soemthing or the culture on Instagram changed. ---

hmmmmm… so if I have 50 accounts in the exact same niche, I could have them repost each other…
