Disappointing botting results

[willyw]

Dear members,

I started botting with my IG account recently, however I am not satisfied with the results.

Last week I gained 90 followers.

This is my schedule:

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday
I follow 400 users who follow an account related to my field. I also like 1 picture of them, this is 800 actions per day.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday
I unfollow 600 users after 3 days of following. This is 600 actions per day.

I post 1 picture every day, and I deleted my worst performing sources. I am positive my content is good.

For me the results seem very, very low. What am I doing wrong? Sometimes I read stories of botters gaining 250 – 400 followers per day!

How can I improve my results? I think my actions per day are already quite high.

Looking forward to your replies.

Best,

Which bot are you using?

Try changing the target account and see if there's any difference.
Use a bunch of accounts and analyze which accounts seems to be offering best results and stick to it.

If none of the accounts work, target users based on their content and hashtags.
Try liking some more of their pictures.
Or maybe don't follow them after 3 days but wait for a few more days if that works.
There are several ways, it's all about trial and error and scaling what works the best.

And if your account isn't big enough, try boosting your numbers a little so that it looks popular enough for people to follow back.

u should use better targeting, target accounts in your niche, or audience that you think is interested in that what you offer

What are your follow/following settings of scraping?

 

[ContentWriter]

Target your audience. Target accounts that are within your niche. Follow people that might be interested in what post. Create an F/UF strategy too. I also suggest for you to boost your numbers so that people will follow you back seeing that you are popular and of course, regularly post quality content.

Maybe the niche isn't good, or just more competitive than you expected. I would rather like more pictures and do less follow unfollow. 2 likes seems less fake than 1.

Targeting is super important.
I get like 100-200 followers every day on my Cat Account and I follow between 300-500 people every day (1-3 likes per profile) and I unfollow 300-500 people every day (after 1-2days).
=> My bot is running 16 hours daily (Never got banned - the IG account is 1,5years old)
but I think there is even more potential, I'm still playing with scrape settings. (I also use GMT2)

I have been using Gramdominator, and I am ready to jump ship. I am looking at Jarvee and GMT2. Jarvee claims to allow me to post to Instagram Stories-- does GMT2 allow posting? Have you used Jarvee?

I have used the trial of Jarvee but I only used the Follow/unfollow and Like functions so I don't know if you can post IG-Stories.. but I can say that Jarvee is an awesome tool and I do like it more than GMT2 but it comes with double price of GMT.

I looked through GMT now and you can schedule posts and publish them, there is even a livestream funciton but no IG-Story..

You can post to your story using the quickpublisher and selecting the story option in "where to post".

Thank you for your message and clear explenation. And really sorry for my late reply, I've been on holiday.

I was wondering, how many accounts do you normally scrape per botting account?

Currently I am scraping 25 accounts, with results between 5 - 18% follow back. I'm scared if I follow less the top accounts won't have enough new followers to scrape.

Was wondering what is a normal amount of accounts to scrape.

 

[willyw]

What are your follow/following settings of scraping?

Thank you for your message. And I'm sincerely sorry for my late reply, I've been on holiday.

I follow 400 accounts + 1 like, 4 days a week. These accounts are accounts that recently followed influencers accounts in my niche.

I unfollow 600 accounts 3 times a week.

This results in about 100 new followers a week.

Target your audience. Target accounts that are within your niche. Follow people that might be interested in what post. Create an F/UF strategy too. I also suggest for you to boost your numbers so that people will follow you back seeing that you are popular and of course, regularly post quality content.

Thank you for your message! and I am really sorry for the late reply.

I already target accounts in my niche.

What exactly do you mean with F/UF strategy? And what do you suggest?

And what numbers should I boost? Amount of followers? Likes per picture? Or more follows/unfollows on a daily base?

Help is much appriciated.

Do you do these 300 - 500 follows and 300 - 500 unfollows on the SAME day? or E.g. 300 - 500 follows on Monday and 300 - 500 follows on Tuesday?

What do you suggest for targetting? is there any tool available, right now I'm just scraping some profiles in my niche that I already followed.

I think they should be good. However because so many people say my targetting might be wrong, maybe I should try some new ones. Any suggestions on how to find these quality targetting accounts?

I use GMT2, and yes I am new to this.

Thank you for your message, and sorry for the late reply.

I'm already targetting accounts in my niche. Accounts that I already followed before I started.

Do you have any suggestons on how to find better targetting accounts?
