Instagram not playing nice

Instagram Marketing
#1

I’ve just started f/uf method on an account with 10,400 followers and they are following 7,400

It won’t let them follow any more people so i have started unfollowing people, how low would u look to get the following amount before retrying following someone ?

#2

To get a healthy account, you should definitely get under 1k following. Everything above doesn’t really look good (in my opinion).

#3

Thank you for replying to me.

How many would u unfollow a day ? I don’t fancy getting any blocks as apparently some can last a week :sweat:

#4

This will be a long journey, but it’s worth it. Trying to grow an account with 7k followings it pointless, to me (everyone can see that this account has been mass F/U).

You will be able to Unfollow 200 in a day, to stay safe. But start small, and increase slowly :slight_smile:

Depends on your goals. Are you trying to get contracts or sell shoutouts for agencies?

If not the follow/unfollow will matter less.

Okay thank you :pray:
Not sure I’m allowed to ask this as maybe it’s secret…

But while I’m doing mass unfollowing would you recommend this;

Day 1; UF 100/200 between
Day 2; UF 100/200 between
Day 3 F 50/100 between
Day 4 UF 100/200 between
Day 5 UF 100/200 between
Day 6 F 50/100 between
Day 7 UF 100/200 between

So I’m still building the account in a way? Just wondering how much you would advise.

Hiya,
I’m trying to get sign ups to a sports premium picks site :crossed_fingers: ?

If your account is already warmed-up it’s all good, but i would advise to go slower on the first week, even if it’s aged. Aged accounts can also get blocked !

I agree with @denis1
I find unfollow can cause more blocks than other actions. So, build it up slowly and you should have no issues

#10

you need to get the account following between 1000 and 2000.

you can start with 50 unfollow a day for the first week then start to add 10 to that number every 3-4 days and you should be able to keep your account safe.

If you just started using the account on your phone, you need to do some warm-up first.
During the first week, use the account on the phone regularly - like picture, comments, respond to DM’s, follow people just like any normal human behaviour to increase the trust level in your account.

Here the limits i recommended you shouldn’t exceeds during the warm-up:

  • Make up to 50 likes per day
  • Follow up to 30 per day
  • Unfollow up to 50 per day

If you didn’t receive any block during the warm-up, you’re good to go and start increase the actions gradually. Here recommended limits for doing actions manually on the phone:

LIKES

  • The first 3 days, do up to 300 likes.
  • Day 4-6, up to 400 likes.
  • Day 7 - up to 600 likes.
  • Day 10, up to 1000 likes.

Follow

  • The first 3 days, do up to 100 follows/day.
  • Day 4-5 up to 200/day.
  • Day 6-7 up to 300/day.

Unfollow

  • First day you start right away with 200 unfollow
  • For each next unfollow round add +100 up to 400 unfollow per day

Wow thank you so much! Once I’m around 1000 to 2000 following what would be your plan of action ?

#13

Instagram doesn’t allow us to follow more than 7500 people. The only solution to make your account able to follow more users is to decrease your followings. You should unfollow a maximum of 100-150 users per day to avoid getting blocked.

It doesn’t sound like this is your first time doing F/UF but, if it is, there are plenty of resources around that should be helpful. That said, my cautionary tale is to not do all your daily unfollows in go, no matter how much of a pain it is.

Then you can start focusing on your chosen growth method again, or converting followers for the sign-ups :+1:

#15

You should keep your followings roof below 1500. Personally, i do not exceed 800 followings.

Start unfollowing only when you reach the following limits you have set. In your case 1500 following is optimal.

Follow the daily limits i provided you with above and try as much as possible to make your actions pattern look more human. By actions pattern i mean the interval and how many actions you do each session.

Wish you best of luck :slight_smile:

Zack,

I agree. IMO, any account over 1k following is not managed properly, either the owner if doing F/U or not.

So when I’m around 800/1500 followers; would u recommend this;

Day 1; F 100/200 between
Day 2; F 100/200 between
Day 3 F50/100 between
Day 4 UF 100/200 between
Day 5 UF 100/200 between
Day 6 F 50/100 between
Day 7 UF 100/200 between

#18

Sorry to ask,

What would the direct message limits be ?

#19

The ones you are already in convo with are limitless, you can send as many as you want to those.

Other than that 30-50 max / day.
Build up slowly though.

#20

Hmm that would be a weird approach.

If that is the case, just send Follow/Unfollow/Likes/DMs and deploy as many accounts as you can.

When it comes to CPA you want to have social proof and as much exposure as possible.
