Best Method to Grow Fast on Instagram???

[TexasSadist]

Can you please elaborate more, so that I can understand more clearly. What BOT you are using to scrape? You can PM me.

Thanks a lot.

I am not seeking something to get Huge Followers over Night. But I want 10K in 1-2 Month. Mainly I am wanting Real Followers from US, UK,AU.

Yes I am doing it now.

Thanks

My bot usage is no secret, I used FL like many other do. The problem with a lot of program based bots is that they have to be run full time on a computer, which means that your computer is literally always on and you need to have the RAM to run it and whatever else you're going to do. Most people op for a VPS, like I did. Here's the problem, most VPS's run about $8-$12 a month and that's before you actually buy your software. I now use a browser based bot that runs without the need of being open the whole time. Also, 10k real followers is quite a bit in that time span unless you are buying followers or posting 3 times a day using 30 hashtags

I am also in the travel niche and I found what seems to work. Build slowly. Create excellent content, stay focused with a great theme, add hashtags but use a mix of popular and not so popular tags. I did this and rank #1 -#9 on most days for #travelhacker, #travelhacking, #travelhack, and #travelhacks. I am doing a series whereby I post over several days interesting things from one city then I move to another city. I also add cool travel products now and these are with partners I found who want to be reposted. At least once a week, I'll start adding travel hack concepts and funny content weekly as well so that it all within my theme and more like a mini photo magazine.

Looks like you've probably been ghosted by IG

My plan to post 5 times every day. What Browser Based Software you are using? If you want, You can PM me the details.

Can you show me some source to buy real followers without IG Ads?

Thanks

How can you tell?

 

[TexasSadist]

I use Instazood, I've never bought followers but you can check out the BHW marketplace and find offers as well as do a quick search on Google. I'd also recommend buying shoutouts for your niche, doesn't do a whole lot for travel based but it probably would for fashion. Check out Fiverr or BHW market for these too.

How can you tell?

I just did a test and It does not appear to be ghosted. Curious as to why you think this. I tested #travelhacker and my posts show up.

 

[TexasSadist]

a Google search of your name automatically brings up the most relevant URL's, which should be IG.com's. Also, no offense, but for 25K followers your LTF(like-to-follower) ratio is crap. Also, I would use more #'s but bury them in the comments. I only use around 1 # for my actually post and 25-28 more in the comments.

If my understanding is correct you're talking about a shadowban, that's different from being ghosted.

Ive never added hashtags to comments. Thanks for the tip.

Not really, truth be told if you're in the same niche as I am just run an IG ad but DO NOT set the audience as automatic. I did this at first and was getting pure crap results. Focus on second world countries, people that would love to travel but can't afford to and throw in obvious US, Canada, Austrila. It lets you add up to 10 specific countries and 4-10 "interests". Also, from the outside looking in you have 54 posts start in
April of last year spread out then all the sudden back to back travel photos, IG has a score system and you're probably lower on it. There's all types of stuff that goes into this score. You can download an iOS app called Command that'll give you a similar score over your profile. As well as tips on how to raise it. Even I'm at a C- but it takes time and content to build this score up.

According to the Command App, I have a B-, so I guess its not too bad. THanks for the app suggestion.

No problem, I check mine around once a month just to see the suggestions on it, looks like I too have been upgraded to the B- score. You can also find an average LTF ratio across many sites, I'm not on my home computer but one shows of your last 12 posts not all of them so you might check that one out and see what your ratio is plus the ratio of competitors.

Cool, thanks. I'll check that out. What is your IG account? Can you share it?

I own the domain ig.coach and I was thinking of building a forum for Instagram influencers to be able to teach newer people how to grow/maintain/get likes etc. Does that sound like a decent idea or am I the dumb?

It's not a dumb idea, and truth be told that's what BHW and this subforum is for, however the people on here with superior experience tend to yell GTFO to every basic question. Someone tried just a few days ago to post an almost AMA style post and was helping at first then started steering people to a service he offered which is only acceptable on the Marketplace section. Also, the question that most noobs ask that usually wont be answered is asking people their bot settings and while your F/UF limits aren't exactly secret you timing between actions is. If someone post this answer 100's of people will set their bots to the same action delay. Most of the stuff we do to achieve success with our accounts isn't exactly "by the book" either. IG personal also have accounts on BHW so it's a tricky game. @MadUdder that is why I never publicly post my IG username but @UncleFlip it definitely wouldn't hurt.
