@pisco

I'm actually having that conversation with myself at the moment. I have the upgrade details from FollowLiker to do tumblr and Pinterest, and I am using ifttt to post all of our stuff there, but I am not really sure it is worth building.

Use iconsquare (makes it easy to manage commenting) and once a week (or more) reply to everyone who has commented on your OWN images to show you care about them.
Seems like Iconosquare only tracks comments on the last 5 photos. Do you know any tool that tracks all comments?

Is it possible to set up a filter with blocking words for comments to moderate them like on FB pages? Searched for it but didnt find anything.

Automation:

Don't DM people
Don't Comment on Images

These are two major issues why people get banned automating, its too inhuman and to be honest for the risk the return isn't worth it.

Use iconsquare (makes it easy to manage commenting) and once a week (or more) reply to everyone who has commented on your OWN images to show you care about them.




If you just want to follow people who follow a specific account you just use User's Follower and enter the account name as the query.

'FLC:' is intended for advance use when you need to save users who can then be used for your actions (like//unlike//unfollow//follow etc...)

Thanks for the reply. I want to follow a specific accounts followers and like their followers pictures as well, would i use FLC:ig name for this or how would i go about that? BTW i read the tutorial but it wasnt really clear on this specific action.

Just found out that you can't switch accounts in the instagram app, so I ordered a couple of new phones to ease the stress of managing multiple accounts. [HASHTAG]#sidewalker4lyfe[/HASHTAG]

Ok step by step (this is explained in the help guide btw in more detail)
  1. In the scrape user tab set the query to FLC:INSTAGRAMUSERNAME
  2. In the scrape photo tab you need to set the amount of images to 3 (so you only like the top three images) and set the query to relevant and FLC:

Strange, I've made over 25+ accounts on one of my phone.

Also for the comments thing I generally don't care what people write. I have one account where people are saying 'I F*ck you' and giving out their phone numbers...you can probably guess the images I'm uploading. If its a business account you will just need to manage it yourself to make sure its all 'clean'


Hello guys,

I know this thread is clearly focused on Instagram, BUT has anyone of you also tried tumblr or pinterest?

Should be similar method.

If you haven`t tried it, why not?

Kind regards and appreciate your feedback!

Pinterest is amazing. 100% use this if you sell a product and just make boards on boards of cool shit and include your product and follow people.

Same principles apply, people only care about cool/interesting images.

So my girlfriend got 1000 users in her first 9 days. Seems like her fans really dig the content too. A question - twice now she had something like 50-100 followers just dissapear at once. Any ideas what could cause this? She's done everything organically except one time running instagress for about two hours but it was pretty much useless for her.

  • Instagram clear up fake accounts.
  • People don't dig the content
  • Could be people she unfollowed, they will unfollow you (this is good because they generally just follow you because you did and won't engage on your content 80/100 times)
  • running instagress for two hours won't do too much btw

Thanks for the clarification, what would you recommend for a "like limit" mines currently at 29-37secs and "delay like" currently at 27-34 secs. I remember you saying you keep your daily like limit around 1900 right now, mines sitting around 1200-1400 lol going to move that up slowly incase they decide to ban me.

On a side note, i actually get around 100 users a day visiting my website just from IG as i've been running followliker for about 4 months, i dont have a great sale conversion rate with it yet but thats something i need to work on. I sell on Amazon as well i wonder if this would be good to boost search rankings on there or it will hurt my rankings if all those visits dont convert to sales much.

Regardless i sell a ton of products online and building IG accounts for each niche i sell in could reap huge rewards if i get the conversions up, so thanks for providing all this info. Im guessing you already sell physical products online but if you dont give me a shout and i could give you a hand in that department, its a no brainer for a guy that has so many big IG accounts!

That's some nice traffic from Instagram congrats.

Start off low with the like limit, where your at is fine then just build it up to 1900 to 2100 max

The conversion will come with targeting the right people. Remember the demographic of Instagram is mostly younger people including a lot of teenagers who don't have credit cards to buy your stuff.

That point crossed my mind when you mentioned Pinterest. From what I've seen the demographic is older and they're often pinning things they want rather than simply liking.

Does anyone have a way to search their handle? For instance in the search function i can search #bearcorp* but I haven't been able to find a way to search when people tag me via @Bearcorp* on a post or in the comments section.

*not my hashtag or handle

Since Iconosquare are now charging for their analytics does anyone know of a similar website that doesn't charge? I have tried searching for both but wondered if anyone here had anything good.

Thanks all!

Do you guys find that with time, leads increase? Finding low leads and lower conversions at the moment, and I think its because the web address doesn't show as a link on the photos and gets lost in whatever tags there may be (anywhere from 8-30 broken up with dashes to segregate them from the comment and web address.

Photos get around 30 likes avg, 80 is my max, 1200 semi active followers since October but I have been a little slack with posting

I dont know a lot about social media but have dabbled in twitter. Is the best way to gain followers in Twitter/Instagram to follow and unfollow which is what I was doing manually on twitter.

If so I guess you're limited on your daily followings depending on the algorithm of the social website? So in order to scale your audience quickly you would need many different accounts?

From a technical point of view using bespoke code would be a good idea because it would act differently to off the shelf programs, plus with any updates you could tweak the code and get your bot working again quickly. The other issue I could see would be your IP address but I am guessing you're masking them behind multi proxies?

My question is what's the risk factor? There's a lot of time needed to build successful accounts..

Under normal management, how many accounts have you lost from hackers, Instagram blocks, marginal growth..ect ?
In the end, this is a numbers game and the more accounts you have the better your chances; But at what point are you in over your head ..? (quality over quantity)

Hi there, i just got the followliker and here is the problem with it: i am not getting more than 5followers per day and usually i lose more followers than i gain. Maybe it might be because my settings are not correct so i would like to know what settings i should put on my followliker?

What are your settings now?

On the task selection i have the following; scrape user,unfollow,follow,like,scrape photo and comment.
Tick on shuffle tasks and retrive following followers:50.

On scrape user tab: scrape user limit:20 (I ignore users with no profile picture and private users) i typed some names in the query such as comedy memes etc.

On scrape photo tab: scrape photo limit: 3 (only scraping top result. The query is the same as last tab (memes).

Follow user tab : the follower ratio 1.2. Follow limit 5-10. Daily follow limit 499-1200.delay follow 10-15.

Unfollow tab: ratio 1.4. Unfollowing after 2 days. Unfollow limit 5-10 and daily limit 499-1200. Delay 10-15sec (i dont unfollow followers and blacklist unfollowed users)

Like tab: like limit 20-50. Daily limit 100-1000 and delay like 5-10

Comment tab: comment limit: 15-30. Daily limit 200-800 and delay 5-10sec (i put some comment down as well). My followliker is not run 24/7 btw.

There u go, I know that is nt the best settings so i would like to know what most people who are successful with their followliker have put down on their settings.

Thank you.

OP, what are your accounts? I'm also in the IG field and I have a network of about 18 million followers, not sure if you've ever heard of me my name is Stav. Anyways, shoot me a email stav@chenstav.com I've got an idea for a joint venture that may interest the both of us.

I have started a new account and have been getting nothing but spam accounts adding me.

Lots of fake dating accounts and internet scam type companies. They like everything I post and then minutes later another fake account adds me and does the same. It makes it look like I am paying for followers and likes so I don't even want them adding me. I banned a few but more and more just keep coming.

Anyone else dealing with this?

This might have been answered but very curious about this.

"proxy services which is around $46 a month to have them up and running, I grow them all through my bot"

What proxy services do you use? Did you program your own bot as well? What automation tools would you recommend to grow new accounts?

All of these have been answered.

He recommends followliker but doesn't use it himself personally
He paid for people to program his own personally bot
Private proxy services (google them)

I can see why he stopped posting when people don't even read what he has already written, in detail, multiple times.
It takes 30 minutes to read this thread and copy all his posts into a word document.

Sorry for the late reply I don't get on here much but nope, none. I actually bought a page with 100k followers for $300 and went from there.

I bought Follow liker based off this thread and started to run it late last night. So far it is a really solid software buy. Excited to dive into more in the next couple of days.
