Began automating my account on followliker 3 days ago. Today I went from 10 to 49 followers and climbing but I'm following 500 people.
Taking the advice of @JimD and @johnp I have targetted the followers of big accounts by liking and following them.
I've also recently set my account to like and follow people who like the big accounts.
I did both things today.
I have no intention of using the follow/unfollow method.

I just found out you can scrape photos on as I haven't posted anything since using followliker.
I've been reading through this thread while trying to implement everything I read.
Aside from that, is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

One more thing, to anyone who has taken the Udemy course link posted here and gotten results with it, please pm me.

Do you think Udemy course is worth it Luffy or anyone else?

My friend has a fb account with 3750 likes. He claims he paid $20 for ads and got those likes in a week about 6 months ago. What would the number of likes need to be before one can start monetizing the fb page, and what's the process of converting those fb likes to instagram/snapchat pages (i'm hounding him to get on this now thanks to this thread)

For now I couldn't really tell you. Give me some time to figure this out and I will let you know if I wasted my time and money or not.

Started the process on a brand new account. Looking at it as a long term investment, whereas I'm building a marketing channel.

Maybe we should do some sort of insta-hackers support group? IE guys like @eliquid are trying this tech out in their respective areas, we should aggregate the knowledge and learn from each others growth.

@JimD awesome thread, thanks!

Do you have any tools or sites which allow you to use search keywords to find the most popular Instagram accounts based on followers related to that keyword? For eg, if my keyword was something like "hockey sticks" and the results being the most popular Instagram accounts who post nothing but hockey sticks. Another example is mens fashion, how can I find the most popular Instagram accounts related to this niche?

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't, I just use the search function on Instagram and search within the suggested users.

On the subject of Snapchat @JimD, how have you built your follower list on Snap Chat? What strategies have worked best?

I've got my Snapchat name in my Instagram Bio's which is working okay. Any other methods you've found to work well?

How does someone go about this strategy starting out? I just created an instagram account and twitter account. How do you get followers? I have zero on instagram and only 3 on twitter.

Read through the whole thread and man I can't say I've read a more in depth manual to an Instagram campaign. One question that I didn't see anyone ask was your process for creating the Instagram accounts. from my searching on other forums (specifically blackhat) i'm reading that you need proxy's, sim cards and account creator (igerslike, bot ect..). My question to you OP is what is your step by step method for creating these accounts without getting them banned or not being able to phone verify. Thanks :)

PS: this was the solid motivation I needed to start my own campaign

You can use SEOClerks, or Fiverr to buy PVA IG accounts. Or just borrow friends and family relative's phones and utilize them to create as much accounts as you can.

I see these IG conversations all over the place..

No offense to OP at all, but I've been searching for someone to post traffic from IG.

Or other words, proof that people from IG are going to the site.

Not sales reports, actual traffic reports.

Built brands already have traffic, too many outside factors.

I've yet to see one IG referral report. (Type in direct traffic doesn't count)

Anyone care to share?

Hey guys,

Been lurking here for ages, ex-military, I started with internet marketing 4 years ago, dabbled in some things, some failed(see my first thread) and some have worked (dental marketing, affiliate marketing).

Took breaks here and there but I knew to never stop.

But in the last year I've come to learn a lot about Instagram and growing accounts.

I currently run about 40+ accounts in different niches and creating new ones daily/weekly.

I have my own personal Instagram bot and in the last year I’ve amassed over 4 million+ followers spread out over my accounts.

I also lost a lot of big accounts(200-300k) at the early-mid stages of my Instagram journey.. due to testing how much you can push daily actions on Instagram (likes, comments, follow/unfollow, proxies, etc).

There is some serious money to be made on Instagram, I’ve already crossed into the 6 figures in profit this year promoting affiliate/cpa offers.

And to be honest that’s the most money I’ve ever made in my life but I’m not stopping here, we are all here for the fastlane!

Now I want to go about creating my own brands/ecommerce/offers.


So in a way to give back to the community, I thought I would help with any Instagram related questions.

And also is anyone else in here marketing Instagram succesfully?

*Pro Tip: If you guys are not on the Snapchat band wagon yet, you guys are definitely missing out! A huge percentage of my earnings came from Snapchat this year as well! The engagement on Snapchat is amazing. A large percentage of your followers will really do what you ask them to do(more so than instagram), whether it be go to this domain or follow this person etc. Snapchat is HUGE.
How are you generating in so many followers with multiple accounts? My business account recently had 1700 followers, but got disabled because I put my website in the comments. I've started over and now have around 280. I never did shoutouts, but I would look up tags related to my account and go through that tag for hours and comment and like nice things on people's pictures. How did you gain so many followers?

I have a rooted android device which allows me to create unlimited accounts. There are alsoe services out there that create IG accounts for you. You do need dedicated IG proxies which I also pay for. And I have sources over seas for phone verification as well as a pv (phone verification) panel (no way around phone verifications)

I found a post in this thread about an app called Crowdfire, using that in just one day I've generated over 100 followers!

Whoa, this is super interesting. Can you tell me more?
Crowdfire shows all your recent followers, unfollowers, and keeps track of people you are following but not following you back. There is an option on the app where you can go to copy followers, you type in a username and the app gives you all the people who are following this account. You don't really need the app, you could just go to a big account that is in the same niche as your account and go to their followers and you can follow 60 users per hour. Once I go through and follow 60 people, I only have to wait about 10 minutes to get 20+ followers and I just go through my notifications and unfollow all of my new followers. You don't have to unfollow all of them, but I don't want to be following 1,000+ accounts I don't know. Crowdfire just makes following people so much easier and show lots of stats. Not only can you add your instagram account to Crowdfire, you can also use Twitter on it. It has a website you can do this from too, if you don't want the app.

Interesting. I had heard of concerns with unfollowing that had IG banning people. That's why I'm sticking to just likes.

Take a look at this.

I don't what the answer is -- but more information is valuable.

EDIT: Oops, that link is for Twitter, not IG. But the latter has been mentioned earlier in this thread. Just be wary.

Thank you for the warning! I will try to watch out and do some more research.
