Instagram + FollowLiker Journey

[Oren112]

This is very true, I need to find something unique about my shirts that I can present and just run with it. It will take some brainstorming, but I have a few creative friends that live for this stuff, so I am going to sit down with them and come up with some ideas.

Thank you for pointing this out though!

Congrats with selling some shirts already though! Are you going back to the drawing board and trying to find something new to present?

Yes,

There is a lot of work I still need to do. Like how to run facebook ads. My shirt was only marketed on instragram. If I used different avenues I could have possibly sold a lot more.

As for my design, I sent my designer I hired on upwork a bunch of designs that had worked in the past in the niche I was in. He then used the designs I sent him for inspiration on the shirt he created. He only charged me $10.00 dollars and it was good work. But the shirt was very targeted

This time I sent him exactly what I wanted, I will let you know how the launch goes.

BTW I sold my shirt for 23.99 + Shipping, but teespring was only giving me $9.50 per shirt as profit. There are way better options out there. I should be making 15 dollars per shirt at other print on demand websites which I am looking into now.

I am hoping to launch 1 shirt per week. Also all my designs will be on my site so they will keep selling (hopefully).

Keep me updated on your progress!!

Yesterday I posted a video up on Youtube for those that wanted to know my specific settings I use on FollowLiker. It's my first video but I wanted to try and release some content that may be helpful to those Fastlane members. I'll be posting some more content about Instagram and FollowLiker on my Youtube page, but here is my first video. Also, feel free to critique the video, how I could make my videos better.

So basically you grow your accounts only liking?? you dont use follow unfollow?

I have some accounts, im using followliker for like 3 month now, and 1 month ago just discovered de FLC feature... i didnt configure it properly, thanks to your vid will try it now,
but anyways i have tried a lot of settings and couldnt have and impressive grow like you did... your main account was 6k followers and now 44k in just 5 months? that was done only liking with those settings?? really impressive.

Well remember @Rodol liking photos will only get you so far. You have to have quality photos being posted and know exactly who your target audience is. Once you find this audience, if you post exactly what people like, then people will follow. My growth was a bit slow in the beginning, probably because I was posting photos that I liked. Once I found out what was receiving the most likes, I filtered out my photo search to meet those qualities in a photo.

There is more to Instagram then just finding a good way to get in front of your target audience.

I agree with that, thanks for sharing your knowledge, i will like to see a journey from you with a brand new account.... so we can follow =)

Awesome thread and tons of good info.

I have just started getting into followliker after trying to figure out other ways to market for my drop-shipping store.

Will be following this.

Hey!
Do you think INstagram will soon be able to spot bot activity better and/or decrease their daily limits for activities?

Very cool to read about your progress.

From what I have been reading it seems like the top 3 programs for Instagram automation are FollowLiker, Instagress and Mass Planner.

Just started the Instagress Free Trial and will be giving Follow Liker a shot very soon as well. I have two instagram accounts I am working towards boosting.

Looking forward to the next update!

If you want to do just short term, than following will work. The reason being is that it is quite obvious that you are trying to give out free coupons. However, if you want to be know as a reliable person who gives out great discounts, then you may want to like photos instead. It really depends on how you want to portray yourself.

Thanks.

That will be great. i'm actually more of an engagement guy so i would even do more than liking. But do you have some ideas for me on how i can build my page, like what type of photos and captions do you think i can post on my page frequently? I just need a tiny bit of your knowledge then i'll run away with it and build a castle with it

I have not dabbled in discount content before so I am not familiar. However, I suggest finding accounts similar to your own and figure out what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. I do this with every person I work with. You can make improvements to an area much quicker if you piggyback off of other peoples progress.

My suggestion is to find discounts in niches that people want. So IG is filled with Health/Fitness/Modeling/Comedy/Animal/Cars

Go into one of these niches. Post photos as if your are a regular account, but also provide discounts for different objects at various times.

That is how I would go about it if I were to do what you were doing.

Hey @Mikkel , I'm currently switching over to the like method on my second account (looking to monetize it). I have a quick question, what are you using to see your users engagement rate? ALso @Aaron W , I have been studying your course for a month or so and it is very helpful. I pose the same question to you. I believe the engagement rate is the most important element in monetizing the account. I'm currently using webstagram and it has a neat feature that allows you to see a particular accounts engagement percentage based on the last 20 post that particular user posts.

If you guys have any other methods for analyzing users engagement rate, please share. Thanks again for this awesome thread!

I do not check my engagement rate at all. I know that on average my largest account recieves 2% on average, but what does it matter? Engagement rate is only important if you are trying to sell your posts.

I focus on what I can change. Can I create more engagement, sure... by gaining more followers. However, when you have a large following, you can't do a lot to change your engagement rate. Sure, if your photos and photo description are garbage, then you will need to work on it, but other than that, you are basically stuck.

Remember, as your account ages, so does your follower. Some people will stay on IG and some will not. Those that followed you from day 1 may not be using IG anymore. There are a lot of factors that you cannot change, that will negatively effect your engagement rate.

If I were you, focus on volume. Gain as many followers as you can. More potential eyes over the period of your IG account.

Let me clarify myself. I'm not that advanced... yet I'm speaking about the other users accounts that I choose to like photos of their users. If they have a higher engagement rate, this tells me that there followers are more active, which is the accounts that I want to connect with. Here's an example:



Here this account has 22% engagement. The formula for this number is "...adding the total likes and comments from your 20 most recent posts, and dividing that by your total followers", which tells me that a higher engagement rate means more active users.




Here, the first account has more engagement than the second account, so I would prefer to "FLC" that accounts users before I would "FLC" the second account because the first account users are more "active". In Aarons course that is one of the things he speaks about is having active users who are constantly using the app. I hope this clears up what I'm trying to say and maybe it makes a little more sense. TIA

I was using instagress with a lot of success, I just started it back up using followerliker and I've actually lost followers. Given the account was inactive for months and I just started it back up a few days ago. Still disappointing.

 

[secondhanddog]

Check out Followers Chief too. Have been using it to expand my personal account and it's not bad. $1.40 per month for each function (i used 3 - follow, like, and unfollow).

I think it would be a good time to make a bit of an update.

As some of us already know, Instagram has been changing a lot, including how we gain followers. With that being said, I have stopped using FollowLiker and have been working on better networking to grow my following. I haven't had much time with my Instagram accounts(need to finish a few projects) but once I do, I plan on selling off my largest account.

Each person is different in how they plan to use their accounts. For myself, I am taking 2 of my accounts(same niche) and building/inventing a new product that I can sell. This means I won't have much time for my main account that has about 100K followers.

So the next step in my progress thread for my main account is to become more active for about 1-2 months and increase engagement with those who are already following me. I have already found someone willing to buy the account for $500 as is(low engagement since the account has been inactive for a little bit) or will buy for $1,000 if engagement increases. I am hoping I can make a little extra from this account so I can help fund my new start up.

I have a lot of new knowledge about this new way to gain followers. The downside is that this new method is more time consuming, the upside is that you are more engaging with your followers.

If people are interested in this new method I can begin to post on the new methods, however, I would like to test this method for myself and find my opinion so I can share my thoughts with you all.
