Instagram Journey

[wano]

Hey BHW,

My name is Stxrm. I've been lurking around BHW for a few months now.

Currently, I own three Instagram accounts.


1. Followers: 260
Following: 387
Niche: Women's fitness

2. Followers: 246
Following: 837
Niche: Skateboarding

3. Followers: 121
Following: 447
Niche: Gaming

I started all three of these accounts on Sunday (3 days from writing this)
I've been following 100 people every hour as much as I can (I follow about 400-700 people daily)

My plan is to spend one week following 100 people per hour as much as I can every day. The week after that I will do the same thing but unfollowing people for a week.

How I'll monetize:

I'll likely be doing shoutouts (I'll start doing them once I reach 15k followers on each account)
I'll also probably start up a Shopify store once I get a bigger audience (around 50k followers) and start drop shipping items.
I might dabble with CPA too, although I heard somewhere on here that having a CPA link on your Instagram will get you banned pretty easily.

Good luck on your journey! Shopify is definitely where the money's at if you establish a copious following of targeted users.

Update: I've been getting this weird error whenever I try to follow people. I follow about 80 people but then right after I follow them instagram auto-unfollows them. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

 

[krazylearner]

you need to slow down your activity .do not follow 80 people at once .

Good luck on your journey.

Im pretty sure you should drop to 60 my dude. And then do it for more hours. Unless you mean across all accounts.

 

[Gently]

Will be following this journey. Best of luck mate!

Shopify is rip off. Go with WordPress. Just my two cents. Good luck!

 

[Smifff]

Yeah you're on a follow ban atm and need to knock down from 100. As mentioned, try 60

UPDATE #1

Thank's for all of the replies. I'll now be following from one-hundred per hour to sixty.

Current update on the accounts:

1. Followers: 286
Following: 478
Niche: Women's fitness

2. Followers: 333
Following: 1091
Niche: Skateboarding

3. Followers: 182
Following: 632
Niche: Gaming

Might consider making a new account in the scootering niche. (PRO scooters, example image is shown below)



Also: I'll be considering paying other pages bigger than mine for shoutouts (Only looking to pay $10-20 USD per shoutout/promo)

Update: Went to clickbank and found a diet offer. Wrote up an article on a blogger blog and posted this on my fitness profile bio "Check my website below to learn how to lose 1 pound of belly fat every 48 hours! (my goo.gl link)"

Just decided to do this and see if I can make any money while I grow the account. Might do the same thing with my other accounts not sure yet though.

PS. I heard clickbank apparently scams their publishers out of $ sometimes? Is this true? Should I be using clickbank or switch to another network?

Gaining some more followers, especially on the skateboarding and gaming account. No sales on clickbank yet (didn't expect any) but I will still continue to promote clickbank offers on the account because as I said, it is basically free money while I'm growing the account. I think I need to start following people more often. (I'm too lazy to follow people every hour and I lose track of time lol) Although, so far, I'm pretty happy with the status of my accounts. For the skateboarding account I think I won't sell promos but instead wait until I get 20k followers and make my own shopify website and build a brand. (Sorta like the brand DGK but only skateboarding no clothing unless its related to skateboarding in some way)


Might do the same thing with the fitness account except dropship protein powders and what not.

My goals for this week:
- Go to the gym at least 3 times
- Follow more people on the accounts
- Read, and read, and read, all over BHW

I assume what you mean by "Man or Woman follower" is my audience's gender. I really don't know but I'd say mostly women.

The pictures are of females.

Are you using a particular bot for this journey (growing the instagram accounts) or are you doing it all manually?
