*Note - I am creating this thread to clearly document the current state of my journey. My previous journey thread is over a year old and information on the initial post does not reflect the current state of my progress as well as I'd like therefore I have decided to create a "Chapter 2" to my journey.



This is where it all began...

Click here to check out Chapter 1 of my Instagram journey.

Hi my name is Fyr, I Started playing around with Instagram about 18 months ago and basically failed to log any of my progress during that entire time period. Many things have happened over the huge time period that has passed. I've had to deal with MassPlanner shutting down, accounts having much more limited actions than they did a year ago, increased phone verification frequency over the past months, and a variety of changes in Instagram's algo which have drastically affected the way accounts grow and engage with users. It also seems like all the methods available online are already out-dated and everyone has moved on to a different a greener pastures....

I'm here to tell you there is still hope.


No, I guarantee it will not be easier. No, you won't be able to make $100/day over night.

My intent here is to share what I've learnt along the way. Why? Well frankly I've seen a lot and have rolled with the changes over the months that have passed it it's only going to get harder and harder to adapt. I believe if we can share ideas and provide value that will benefit one another in keeping up with Instagram, why the heck not? So whether you're experienced or just starting out I encourage you to join me on my journey to reaching $500/day.

I am just another guy who wants to make money online just like you, so let us help each other so we may all grow together and become successful one day!!

By no means am I some christmas miracle child, I am learning new things everyday as I go so any suggestions/advice/criticism is openly welcome. Maybe I'm doing something really wrong, I believe that there's always room for improvement!


With all that being said, let's get down to business.

The following are a list of my current assets

Tools
- Custom coded API bot for Instagram follow/unfollow/posting
- 1000+ High quality private proxies
- 1000+ US Phone numbers from private provider
- 10 Dedicated servers
- 1000+ TLDs
- 5 shared hosting providers

Accounts
- 500 Active Spam IG accounts
- 450 Spam IG accounts in niche testing stage
- 1300 Warming up Spam IG accounts
- 15 Growing accounts in various niches with a combined following of over 500k (Around 5-10k likes per post per account)

The growing accounts have not been monetized yet, I will start burning through their traffic once they hit a consistent 10k likes per post with 10 posts a day

I only started taking this venture seriously at the start of 2017 and have earned the following so far.

How much money have I really made from all of this? Sadly that number is less than $1000. Why? Because every penny I've made I've basically reinvested into the whole operation. I buy accounts, proxies, phone numbers, and domains, on the daily basis. Why have I not cashed out? Well, because I believe I can get to $500/day with consistent earnings if I keep at it. Hopefully before Christmas comes around!



9/2/17 Update

Now... for today's update.. Currently at $118.42 with 3 more hours left in the day. Should close at around $130 or so.

Today is also a sad day since I woke up to find one of my biggest growing accounts getting banned..

RIP Car Niche page with 122k follows and 6k avg likes per post.... T^T

No, I have no clue why the heck I got banned... Maybe I was reported for posting copyrighted content, who knows... Will attempt to unban it with fingers crossed :(
 
Did you program your bot yourself or did you have someone build one for you?
 
Very nice.

How are you targeting your followers? Following followers of big accounts for example?

Right after all the popular tools were shutdown I pretty much took all my earnings and a little extra cash out of pocket to pay a coder to put together basic follow/unfollow software for me. I has limited functionality but it does it's job. Ever since then I've just had a lower CVR compared to before.

Very nice.

How are you targeting your followers? Following followers of big accounts for example?

Thanks, I target followers based on niche. I think that not every follow source will work with every niche, testing is the key to success here.

For example, if you did a fidget spinner giveaway you could pick multiple follow sources (500k-5m) accounts that have followers who might be interested in incentive you are providing.
 
So right now you make about 100-120$ with 500 accounts right?

Yes, It's actually very low since I was already making $50-60 with 150 accounts a couple months back.

Damn 500 Accounts, and I'm here struggling managing 50-60 accounts in followliker! Great success

Thanks man! I think you're already doing much better than I am with your earning per account!!
 
About your banned growing account, how did get pics to upload? Download from another users or picked from google?

So sorry to hear that. I can feel you, mate
 
Bro i was living the life last year when i was making 500+ a day from insta by comment spamming. Now i can't even make 1$ lol

Damn man, sorry to hear that. I remember last year it was so much easier to do stuff. Follows, likes, comments, and there were barely any limits!

Pics were scraped from similar accounts. All posts gave credit to the original poster as well. Maybe it was just the constant aggressive actions for a year straight. 1000 follows 1000 unfollows 1500 likes and such...

Do you get follow/like blocks as well?

Damn, I thought I was only one, bust last week was super hell like 60% of accounts get TEMP Follow blocks!

Yep I get follow blocks all the time. You just have to be patient with them. I found that if you do a smooth warmup there will be a much less chance of follow blocks later on. You also need to keep the number of actions you do daily consistent other wise you might run into a follow block again if you stop any actions for 3-4 days.

do you running in saturated niche?

Yes I have over 10 niches I am spamming in, some of them are know as "saturated" niches but I have my unique twists that still allow me to drive traffic that converts.

you are very intelligent, thank you for sharing

Haha, if only that were true I would have reached my goal a long time ago! Thank you though!
 
Nice journey and a big goal, i like that :)

Do you mind sharing your monthly investment within all the stuff that you bought for this journey?

I don't have exact costs but these are estimates. These are current costs for the past month since I recently bought a lot of new numbers, proxies, and accounts.

Servers cost around $300/m
Proxies almost $1000/m
Phone numbers around $350/m
and many little miscellaneous costs

My expenses last month came out to around $1800 total

The accounts I buy cost $1.5 to $2 each depending on how many I buy at a time. I realize this is VERY costly but If I'm able to hit at least $80 a day I can easily cover all the expenses.
