Don't invest in programs. Start your own ;)

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.
I thought your ip was wifi, not phone. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

In my opinion the best way to scale this would be using proxies and followliker. It's $100 for unlimited accounts. You won't have to worry about underperforming VA's and you won't have to pay anybody else. With the 3 free days on instagress I gained more than 200 followers between two new accounts.

How much should I be charging for my Insta management and marketing services? I can't seem to find an ideal price point; I have a client paying me $600/month and now one paying me $90/month.

I have no idea. You could get maybe get on upwork and see what others charge. Most that I have seen charge hourly. If you get followliker you set it and let it run, plus with your other automation tool you will probably work 1 or 2 hours a week and pay for followliker within a few days. Nice job!

The problem of using FollowLiker is it will run into porn accounts/pictures and you'll lose the client. Also the kind of results you can get with a VA are a lot higher than with a bot.

You should start at 500$/month if they want you to grow their account. If they also want you to upload pictures, use hashtags, contact influencers, etc... you should charge more.

Awesome stuff. Are you still liking pictures, commenting, etc. by yourself?

Yes. :) My price is high therefore I'm not interested in quantity. I want to provide the highest of qualities to limited clients. If this grows then so be it, I'll hire a team. But so far all on myself :)

Love the journey, I'm starting up in IG with a diffrent approach. How are you finding your cold call clients? What size of accounts are you trying to sell to?

Thanks, and keep it up!

Hey man, I started an Instagram account and quickly got my ability to like banned (didn't know it could get banned, I must have liked more than 350 pictures/hr). Since I started a few days ago my account isn't big at all, having this in mind. Would you recommend me to start a new account or to simply wait for the ban to end?

You should hire a VA instead of using a bot. You don't want your bot to like/follow porn accounts by mistake and lose a client because of it.
Yeah - this is a much better approach. Instagram was the sole source of marketing for a womens' fashion project I had running, and my bot ended up 'liking' a pro-anorexia picture.

That caused a few minor issues.

That is cool thread and I like what you do.

The first thing - you do. Even you have got these accounts banned people here judging you and saying you may get your clients accounts banned, doesn't know what they are talking about.

I am interested in internet marketing for a several years and from time to time I do instagram marketing. Also I read a lot threads like this. So in my opinion you are on the good way. Thing that you are doing it manually is crazy. I would try to invest in a better proxies and bots and would set the bots to work slowly and not so aggressively. It shouldn't make any damage. You can even create a blacklist in the bot of the hastags and users, so the bot will bypass the shitty stuff. Anyhow even if it will like one or two images from 1000 which will be booties, it's very small probability that your client will see it.

I saw you are looking for website. I might help you with it for free to build a simple web as I need new referrers.

What about cold calls, it's awesome man, did you make it by yourself or you have hired someone?

Anyway I wish you a lof persistence in your highway to success.

Those blocks only last for 1-2 days so wait for it to expire.

The temporary ban may only last a few days, but the warning lasts forever on your account. If you are trying to sell your account in the future, it will not be a "clean" Instagram account with no marks against it.

A clean Instagram account? What you say is all speculation and there's no way of knowing if an account is clean or not when you buy or sell an account

You can imply that this exists, or that people care about this if you look at forums and websites where they buy and sell IG accounts. One of the forums you tick of is, something along the lines of has this account ever been warned/banned at any time.

There are warnings in place for Instagram where if you cause to many minor problems, you are more likely to be banned or have a more harsh repercussion.

I've been selling and buying accounts for years and nobody asks about this
