Update for those who messaged … day 14.

Currently, uncertain if I should shoutout more or let grow alone. Its making explore page just not in the numbers I am used to – thousands vs. 10 yikes!!

If you can get this type of engagement from niche accounts, why not just go bulk accounts instead of trying to grow these? Would be nice to have 100 accts @ 10k followers and 20% engagement rate, moreso than a few with 100k followers and 2-4% ER

I guess it’s a time issue of posting quality content that = the good ER’s?

Thoughts @Alexnvo ???

There is greater power in fewer and bigger than more and smaller that’s why

Apologise if I missed this in one of the messages. What niche are these accounts in? It is much easier to grow babe account i guess than lets say fashion or travel. Or am I wrong?

I think he is in the quotes niche if I remember correctly

Thanks for the case study, might get some people reconsidering their efforts when it comes to growth.

This is awesome, thanks Alex. So far, the tips I got from this thread are:

  • Grow a slave to a good number. (10K is good to stop but you can do more depending how far you want to go)
  • Once you have enough slaves with that number, you can simply comment on posts from new accounts and keep growing an army pretty much.
  • Content / Hashtags. You don’t like to use them as you mentioned.

This can actually replace @ut0mating quite well, I can see why you don’t do it. it just takes time to do. The numbers your saying are bad I think are very good, even with your engagement rate 20% is awesome. Gives me a lot to think about.

Thanks.

it must be lots of manual work if you just use phones? I mean so many accounts reposting etc. Do you have someone working for you or do you do it all by yourself?

Great thread btw gives a bit of hope in these dark times.

I do it all by hand. 35 accounts take about 30 minutes each session, 2 times a day

Wow, just read the entire thread - very impressive work. Congrats!
I have just been using the F/U method.
It seems using your shoutout method, the two main keys are great content and the actual shoutout.
Two questions:
Are you creating new content for all 36 of your accounts every day?
Are you taking a screenshot of the account you wish to grow and posting it on the other 35 accounts every day and that serves as the “shoutout”?
Please excuse my novice questions!
Again, very impressive and interesting.
Thank you.

saved from past post on my other pages borrowed from explore feed. All on my phone.

one day story shoutout, the other day post shoutout via multi pictures. I stopped shouting out last 3 days cause it can grow on it’s own now. This slave is hatched, needs posting and that’s about it. ER i concentrate on – take care of that the rest is easy. If it falters during the first 3 months – re shoutout.

Thanks for explaining that to me - I appreciate it.
So, you are borrowing posts from the explore feed and posting them on your slave page and accrediting the page from where they originated?

Ahhh, perhaps what I am missing is that I am not completely understanding the definition of a shoutout.
I thought a shoutout was you re-posting one of the slave posts on all 35 of your other accounts.
In other words, you were promoting the slave posts on the other accounts.
I am so sorry for my naivete!

OK, thanks anyway for posting all of your results - I appreciate it.
I am doing my best to be helpful to everyone and reach Level 2 like you recommend.
I think I just need about 50 more likes and I think I will have reached all of the Level 2 requirements as they have been explained.
Thanks again for all the results and encouragement.
I will keep doing my best to learn and move to Level 2.
Thank you.

@Alexnvo I’d be interested to hear your opinion on micro-influencer marketing.

Never did it so I could not suggest
