I apologize if this has been addressed before, I tried searching history but it’s quite a specific question…
Can you warm up an account first with just generic information and then swap the pictures and bio to the Niche you’re targeting or should you start with the niche from the beginning?
In a perfect world it wouldn’t matter which way you do it since you’re just warming up accounts but I’m not sure if Instagram will detect accounts where they’ve been following/unfollowing as one ‘person’ then do a complete 180.
Yes you can. When you add accounts in bulk, the fastest way is to set them all to follow same sources (for example followers of Instagram, or by keywords #f4f, #follow4follow …).
Then when you profile accounts set following the way you want.
It is better to start following right people from the start if you have time to do it for every account, but you can save some time this way.
There are people who do not want to waste followings, so they warm up this way: follow few hundred people, unfollow few hundred and they are at ground zero after warm up.
Yes, it’s ok, I’ve seen people switching niche quite late ,they get to 10-20 k followers and decide they don’t like that niche anymore, delete everything, change the bio and start over. Granted the bigger you are when you do this the more followers you could loose as they might not be interested in your new niche, but still, it can be done.
I actually warm up accounts with generic info(no link) for 3 days. 50-60 likes and 50-60 follows and a day’s rest. And then I immediately switch out to my CPA niches and add links and I rarely see a phone verification while doing it, forget a ban.
Just last night. I’ve sort of gotten back into Instagram( I quit 2 months ago to pursue more Whitehat ventures). And I’m using my old links and I have absolutely no issues.
If you’re direct linking to an OGads landing page or doing something like Bitly>OGads LP, then you will get your accounts flagged as the LPs have been used quite a lot.
So you need to host the LPs yourself(best option for the longer run) and then cloak the links.
I always put goo.gl link to my IG bio, leading to weebly prelander. Then on weebly prelander I have a button with either another goo.gl shortener or link to self hosted LP or OG LP (or Adworkmedia), or naked link to LPs.
The only time when I do not get PV right after I add goo.gl link to bio is when I use old accounts with few thousand followers on them.
Last night I added link to an account from October, I was warming it up for 5 weeks, first there was a PV, I verified with my own SIM, and IG disabled it right after PV.
So I was thinking the best way to avoid ban right after PV would be to prevent PV in the first place. Do you have any suggestions?
