Do you have a contract or something similar you send to clients? Any recommendations there?

No I don't do contracts. It's a straight PayPal subscription sign up :)

I meant in the sense of them feeling secure in giving you the password to their business or the IG that represents their business. Is it just a "hey look at the website, pay the money and give me your password" type transaction?

I guess I'm really asking how you inspire confidence in your clients that you are trustworthy etc.

Thanks.

Good question, we've thought of having people do IG story takeovers and having others post for us but without being able to create admins we don't want to be giving that password out!!

If they need to, we can sign a separate contract asking permission for access to their IG account.

I've signed 2 more clients today.

My goal is to get at least 150 clients.

You'll manage 150 clients yourself or will you get some assistance? How much time per day are you working on each account?

3 more clients bagged today! Currently have 8 clients on IGBrander. Any ways you recommend to bag more clients?
Congratulations!

Maybe try to work with referrals + discounts?
So if a client refers you, the new client gets 10% off.
Or everytime an existing client refers you, they get 10%.

You might have to test out what works best:
A money focus (they have to spend less)
A network focus (they can help out their friend's businesses)

Maybe set up some kind of affiliate structure?

Or look at the way you got leads so far, create a repeatable system and let VAs do the selling.

I have approached some of my long term clients for a referral. Thank you!

@Ziad do you have any data on hashtags in the original post vs as a comment on the post? Do they perform the same or is there a significant difference?

Anyone have any good references where I can learn how to start doing this? I'm not necessarily looking to learn how to make money w/clients using IG marketing but to promote my own accounts.

A lot of the bot/Proxy/App acronyms is abit confusing on what I should start using to grow organically and how I would use such bots to do so.

Thank you in advanced for any advice for the pleb with 1 IG with 200 followers :happy:

Thank you for your post. I read through your thread and it was good inspiration.

3. I currently own 3 phones. Therefore I can handle 15 clients at once. But I wont. Each of My VA will handle 5 clients (1 phone per VA). I will handle 5 clients myself. If a client stops his service and you have a free slot open, you will need to evaluate the new client's instagram account and see how old it is. If it's a fresh account with 0 followers, like I said before, I would put it up on a bot (with a dedicated proxy) and grow it slowly till I get at least 5,000 followers. This could easily take 2 months. If It's an aged account with a few followers, I'd wait a couple of days. If it gets banned, I can recover it easily. But I've never had an aged account banned just like this, not saying it will never happen. I have churned and burned a lot of accounts on bots therefore I have enough knowledge to prevent any banning. Besides, if the account is at 0 followers, I doubt the client would worry too much for a ban. I'm currently botting 10 of my own accounts (not any client's) all from scratch and all of them are going fine so far.

Ziad,

What bots and proxies would you use to organically grow a new account to 5,000 followers? What configurations would I need to use in order to slowly grow?

Hey man, sorry if I sound harsh but I charge a fixed fee for anyone willing to grow accounts themselves.

@Ziad do you have any data on hashtags in the original post vs as a comment on the post? Do they perform the same or is there a significant difference?

They're the same! Place them in 1st comment as soon as you post!

So I have a big influencer who is testing my service out. Once he's satisfied and has a testimonial, he's willing to hop on board and partner up with me on this service. He has a huge following so it'll be a huge plus for me!

Love your thread, i also want to do the same thing but more focus on the quality not quantity.
I have around 2 m followers overall on 6-8 pages. I have two pages at 460k followers, two at around 340k ,one at 200k and the rest of them less than 100k.
I'd like to find people willing to pay big bucks, i don't do bots.
i have one client now paying me 3k euros to get her at 10k followers.
How can i find those people.
Cheers

How do you advertise this service on Instagram through Influencers without getting banned? Or getting them banned?

Why would they get banned? Instagram has been closing down popular bot services but they aren't banning any account

Hey man, I haven't read through all the comments on this thread or anything, only the first couple of pages. I just want to say one thing though: Bravo for dealing with the negative comments so optimistically. I could be wrong, but it seemed like a lot of the comments at first were giving off of a vibe of "you should give up, you have no experience except with getting banned." Good job just getting out there and learning through trial and error and not listening to people like that.

How are those influencers promoting your service? Video testimonial they post on their accounts?
Are you using a bot right now? Or using VAs?

Bots. Influencers take a cut and promote using their own tools. Could be videos or images. :)

Thank you! That's the very first rule isn't it, never quit on what you started.

@Ziad How many accounts do you manage personally vs assistants? Any change in your approach with the bots, likes per day or follow-unfollow changes?

I manage all the accounts myself now. High-profile clients who are still paying me $500-$800 a month are the ones I don't bot and get VAs to help me out on.

Hey man, I've read through the whole thread and I see you haven't written anything in more than a month. How are things now? You were close to 10 000 per month? I bet you reached it. Also you said this : "If you bot, you shouldn't be liking anyway. Liking doesnt help you gain followers as much as it used to. " Do you like when doing it manually or do you just follow?
