**I planned on selling this on fiverr but changed my mind and decided to post it here. Hope all of you enjoy. I started to rush near the end because I wanted to get this posted asap. **
1.Making Accounts
When making accounts you should do it on your mobile data or your home internet. Making them on proxies lowers the quality of the account and from my experience, an account will get banned faster if you make it on a proxy. When you go to sign up, write everything down slowly. If you are on mobile type it slowly than wait and if you are on a browser, do not copy and paste anything. These are all things to set off Instagrams checks. Other than that make sure the IP you are making the account on is fresh and also avoid low-quality emails. Low-quality emails are emails like mail.ru, mail.com and a bunch of others. If you are aiming for quality I would go for Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
1.1 Picking a Name
Picking a name is one of the hardest and most important things in this guide. Picking a name is not hard per se, but everything else is incredibly easy. You need to get a name that stands out from the rest of the other accounts. Would you rather get followed by “apples” or “23apples_daily_posts_”? The account on the right looks like pure spam. When you get followed by an account like that, your first step should be blocking it right away! It is not that hard to pick out an account username and with a little bit of thinking and (mild) creativity you should have an account name ready in less than 5 minutes.
2.Setting Up Accounts
After making an account I would recommend you wait 2 days before posting any pictures and changing the bio. You can post your profile picture right after you make your account but be careful. When setting up your account try to post at least 9 pictures before going onto the next step. The reason for this is that no one would like to follow a brand new account with 1 post and 0 followers. You should at least try to get the posts up. You want your Instagram account to look nice. You want to be able to show it to a friend and have them like it too. The thing is, with Instagram you are not only trying to gain followers but you are also trying to keep your followers active. You can not do that if your posts are of low quality.
2.5 Warming Up Accounts
You should start off slow. I personally follow 30 - 40 on an accounts 1st day in action. I like around 50 posts and like around 40 comments. Right now you are just trying to set a good first impression for Instagram.
3.0 Getting Followers:
My favorite method to get followers is Follow/Unfollow. Follow/UnFollow is exactly what it sounds like. Following users from a list of sources and unfollowing them after they follow. This is part of the reason you should try to keep your account looking neat! You want to make your follow back ratio as high as possible. Only do this before you have 10k followers. Once you have 10k followers do not do Follow/Unfollow instead of that you should work on content and try to grow organically.
3.1 Getting Followers:
One of the other best ways to grow your account is through shoutouts. This requires much more money upfront but results from the shoutout will come faster and will speed up the growth process dramatically! When buying shoutouts ask for as much proof of insights as possible!
3.2 Getting Followers:
You should try to optimize your profile so it can show up the search and in the recommended users when you follow someone. This is something you should figure out yourself because it is different for each person. Just look at what your competitors are doing and ditto them.
- Analyzing your account
I personally use hypeauditor.com to analyze my account. I do not like turning my accounts into business accounts since my reach goes down whenever I do that. With hypeauditor you can get unlimited searches by going into incognito and doing a search with 10-minute mail anytime you need one. With this method it is free and you are not risking your account.
- Hashtags
I personally use displaypurposes.com to get hashtags for my accounts.
- Automation
I recommend Jarvee for botting accounts. It is one of the most popular bots and I would use it for main accounts. At the bottom of this guide, I link to a couple of different tutorials for Jarvee.
- Picking Sources
I usually go to the Top 9 in a hashtag and check if everything looks good with the account(no botted followers, likes or comments). If it looks good then I set it up as a source in my bot. I repeat this with 15 or 20+ sources per niche. I target users that are engaging with the posts and are following the source account. I do this so my I am following high-quality accounts
- Filtering users to follow
Filtering users to follow helps your follow back rate go up. I set it so if they are following more than 1000 accounts I will not follow them. I do this because they are less likely to see my posts if they are looking at 1000 posts. I will not follow accounts with more than 5000 followers because those are usually influencer accounts. Lastly, the max follow ratio is set to 1.5 for me. Here is a list of things you should set up too:
- Ignore Business Accounts - they are more interested in their own profile.
- Ignore users following your accounts - you gain nothing from following your followers. They can’t follow you a second time
- Like 1-2 posts after following an account. It increases your follow back rate.
- Unfollowing accounts
I personally unfollow accounts 3 days after following them. I unfollow 500 accounts per day. I choose to unfollow users after following them for more than 3 days because I need to give them time to follow. You should be following less than 4000 accounts at a time (and even so, that is incredibly high). I personally like to keep my following under 2000 because it looks nicer.
Notes:
Do Shoutout for Shoutout with people in your niche. It helps your account grow and be seen by more people. Shoutout for shoutout is completely free and it helps you get brand new followers.
Do not do too many shoutouts/promos. When you do too many shoutouts people get mad and unfollow. They didn’t come for promos they came for your posts. If all your posts are promos,
- Who wants to follow you? You have no content other than the shit that makes you money.
- Who wants to stay following? There’s no reason for them to stay following if they gain nothing from it.
- You’ll get lots of hate if you continue to mass-post promos. Here’s an example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565551029245182007/565958052281319435/unknown.png
I couldn’t find enough time to write about the mother-child strategy. Maybe I’ll do it next time I write a post
