After you scraped into the excel X amount of followers of target accounts that you would like to follow, you just copy paste each user name from the excel into the search bar and follow 1 by one? That would take forever so I have been wondering what is the other ways to follow users manually after you have a ready list.
Hi Daniel. Yes, I copy and paste one by one, and honestly once you get in the swing of it, it goes by so quickly that you can accidentally get blocked for going too fast.
Around 20 minutes. Less, if you have two monitors, with the spreadsheet open in one, and instagram open on another. I would recommend following more slowly than this, however, to avoid getting blocked.
20 minutes? Oh wow, so basically, 100 mobile phones x5 accounts each (500 total), following 60-70 members daily is not an option in manual for 3 people?
in exel just add www.instagram.com befor every user with the replace function export it to google sheet or some cloud to acces it from phone phone and you be just clicking to open the profile then follow it rince repeat , it will takes time depending on your numbers but much more confortable than copy paste then follow
yeah the limit its your pc power if its powe4full then it can process hundreds of lines and maybe if you have a powerfull server you can do it there & leave it do its thing & send some that you be working with for the day btw you can automate it with a shell/python script or zapier
I recorded a macro.
First in exel add www.instagram.com/ before every user as said_L.O.M said
Then I start with the cursor in the fist user to add, and press record in the macro.
“F2”
SHIFT+Ini
Ctrl+C
Alt+Tab (to swithth to the Chrome tab)
Tab (untill the url adress bar is selected in blue)
Ctrl+V
Enter
Tab (untill the “Follow” button is selected)
Space bar
Alt+Tab (to go back to exel)
