Hey, back again with another guide! 
I will be trying to overview the main differences between buying accounts and creating accounts. I am talking about Instagram. Most of us are managing Instagram accounts and came up to the thing where we don’t know whether we should be buying Instagram accounts from sellers or rather creating them by ourselves. Well, people who used to manage hundreds of accounts probably prefer the first method over creating accounts, since it saves them a lot of time. Some experienced Instagram marketers probably have their own custom tools or use existing account creator software where they create their own Instagram accounts. But at the end, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages for doing either of those methods.
ADVANTAGES:
-
It saves you a lot of time. For those, who are busy or don’t know how to create accounts on bulk or rely on the account creation methods that most of the sellers do, probably find it suitable just to buy accounts from sellers. This is the biggest advantage of buying accounts over creating them by yourself.
-
In some cases, the costs are much cheaper than creating the accounts by yourself. There is no need to develop your own software to do the dirty stuff since the account sellers are doing that.
DISADVANTAGES:
-
Since account seller has all the information about your account, it is less secure unless you change all the details, such as Instagram password and Email password. I heard some cases when sellers used to acquire their buyers’ accounts by doing bad things.
-
You don’t know how the seller has created all accounts unless he tells you (don’t believe 100% of what he says, might be lying so he can save his business, clientele and keep the secrets without exposing them). The big role in account success takes the account creation process and how that account was created. So if the seller has created accounts with bad proxies, using not-trustful email domains, using VOIP/Virtual numbers to verify accounts, or by any chance left any footprints in the creation of the accounts - you might be in trouble since those accounts won’t be in good shape and don’t have a good account score. I would recommend you asking the seller how he is creating his account just to be sure, but don’t always trust them even if you think they are telling the truth! And ask for free test accounts before buying a bunch of, so you can test the quality of them. If they will not provide you one free test account, I would probably try to find another seller
-
Some of the account sellers could be scammers to make sure you don’t get caught on those. Always try to find reviews about his service/or any of his other business in other forums, websites. Ask for vouches if possible (common in Telegram).
-
Some sellers (in most cases) will be using account creation email to create more accounts in other social media channels (such as Twitter, Facebook, etc.) to cut their costs and have higher revenue per sold account.
ADVANTAGES:
- You don’t need to worry about how accounts were created since you created them by yourself. You should keep the note of with which IP you created your account, at what time, what browser user-agent you used, and any other details of your account creation process so you can keep a track and analyze why some of your accounts performing better than the other ones (great if you are trying to create accounts using different methods so you should be tracking your account creation process so you can analyze data). I myself have an Excel spreadsheet of about 50 different details of each account (including mentioned things above, MP settings, emails, passwords, and many many other tiny details - for the sake of analysis on later stages).
- You have full rights to your accounts.
- No risking of buying bad accounts from sellers
DISADVANTAGES:
-
It takes time to create accounts. You probably be creating your accounts on your own, hiring a VA’s to do the account creation or just buy (or use free alternatives) account creator software. If you managed to create accounts on your own, you probably be trying to find the best method and way to create great accounts and that requires time, money and patience.
-
Some inexperienced people could be creating accounts in the wrong way thus leaving some footprints.
My advice:
If you are just starting out - try to create the accounts on your own using different methods (with phone, emulator, account creator software, on website, etc.) and try to test which set of accounts perferm better.
If you are busy or/and running more accounts - probably try to find the private account seller who has automation software and can modify it for your needs, or just hire VA’s. Also, you can try to buy accounts in batches from different sellers to test them. Anyways, just find the way that is better for you
