[AMA] IG Automation + Monetization - DEADZ

[merieke]

Thanks for providing your expertise to help others out. I have a couple specific questions I was hoping you could help with.

1) I know the root cause of a temporary follow block can be related to several things. I am curious whether the action of changing the profile description/link is commonly known to create a block?

1a) I am using a popular bot and when a temporary block occurs it notes something like "Username - Report issue to instagram successful" in the log. Do you know what is getting reported to instagram here and should I be concerned?

2) On the topic of prelander/cloaker I built a simple page that loosely mimics a popular DDOS service. There is no captcha but instead there is a button that becomes clickable after a couple seconds and the visitor is encouraged to click the button to continue to their content. The target URL is split across 4 javascript variables, encrypted, and then decrypted and concatenated using an onclick action on the button. At no point does the full string get saved into client side javascript. My theory is that this prevents any bot from reading the source and having any idea where they are getting routed. Does this sound like a good approach? I was also thinking about using some server side code to insert a series of hidden divs that grabs rotating content from a public website to help keep the full page fingerprint from being discovered.

Thanks!

I set up your method step by step with your setting (warmup accounts) and i get my 10 accounts action blocked at the 2º day, i use valar aged accounts and proxiorg proxies.
I didnt changed profile of the accounts and didnt put link in bio (was waiting for the 3º day)
So the problems i think that is the proxies, what do you think?

I wouldn't use proxiorg proxies. So yes, I think it's the proxies.

Hello DEADZ !

Could you write something more about IG and Shopify ? I would like to know what to attract my attention during make shop and promote it.

On the Shopify part: Make sure the Shopify store is high converting: Sales/Proof popups, Timers, Abandoned cart recovery, push notifications, discounts (in the form of games like wheelio), upsells + downsells + oto's, autoresponders, etc.

On the IG part:

Post/re-post niche specific & engaging posts that are just general posts at least 3-6 x a day and use proper hashtag strategy.

Spoiler

For posting I recommend using a "Hashtag Stacking Technique":
For example, Use 30 niche related hashtags on your posts.
10 - where the average like per posts (on top posts in the hashtag) are the same as your average likes per post.
10 - where the average like per posts is around 10-30% more then the previous 10.
10 - where the average like per posts is about 10-30% more then the previous 10.

This way when you post and (let's say) you average 250-300 likes on your posts already without using hashtags. You'll rank for the first 10 hashtags, then get likes from ranking on those hashtags which will help you rank for the 2nd group of hashtags, get more likes from those ones and rank for the last group of 10 hashtags.

Post promo on your wall, but don't overdo it. I would post 1 promo every 3 general posts. Also, do story promos 1x every day. You can use sites like Canva to make those.

For engagement: Follow + Like, Comments, (sometimes DM) works well.

If the hashtag & content part is done correctly it will grow on it's own.

Hello , I've received action blocked I was using, what could be the problem? can it be that my tracking settings are very aggressive? (the proxies I have don't have action blocking problems)

are as follows:
FOLLOW LIMIT 8-10
DAILY 600-700
DELAY 28-38
INTERVAL 12-15 min

are the same ones that I use to work my Whitehat accounts, I don't know if for account with the instagram niche I have to be less aggressive as they are CPA accounts?

I think the delay is to short for BH accounts these days. I would recommend having a delay of 60-90 to be safe or at least 40-65. To compensate for the change, you should also increase the follow limit to something like 10-20.

For BH accounts you have to be less aggressive then with WH accounts, yes.

1. The action itself of changing profile description: No. The action of changing the link: Yes, adds red flags, but doesn't cause blocks unless your account is already heavilly red flagged/considered spam. If you're using spammy keywords & links: Yes, for sure and it can also cause a lot of phone verifications and/or bans, etc.

2. Does this sound like a good approach? Yes, it does.

Some bots support GEO/location targeting, if yours does, I suggest trying that out.
If not you'd have to get creative with using hashtags/keywords (think location based hashtags and/or current US specific trends) in your filters to out those tier 3's.

P.S. Also a good way would be to check whats trending section on Twitter (or Youtube) and target on IG based off that.

Hello thanks for Ask me anything tread

Noob here.


What does exactly mean ''using hashtags/keywords'' in instagram?

Can you make some examples?


I have an instagram account.... what does it mean ''using a popular hashtag''?


Let's suppose the weekly trend in USA is the Facebook data leak / probelm with privacy.

Which tag would you use then?

Do you post an image on instagram and tag it with popular tags?

How are you able to find popular weekly tags?

thank you @DEADZ for the great topic i actually read it twice so i can't miss anything but still not sure about a safe settings so for warmin up an aged account you said start by 0-10 action in first day then increase it by 25-50 daily So is it possible to stay safe doing 70-80% for Follow/unfollow Actions and 20-30% for Like actions.

Also i Really didn't get u when u said stick with a rest time of 120-180 Min after " 25 activity rounds Max " Please can you clarify what do u mean by that.

 

[DEADZ]

So is it possible to stay safe doing 70-80% for Follow/unfollow Actions and 20-30% for Like actions.

Follow + Unfollow count as the same action.
Likes, comments, etc count as seperate actions.

So you can do 0-10 follow/unfollows and also 0-10 likes and still be safe.

"a rest time of 120-180 Min after 25 activity rounds Max"

These are jarvee specific settings. Which means after 25 rounds(max) of doing the set amount of actions + breaks it takes a longer break of 120-180 mins.

Hi, do I need use proxies to change profile for each account, or just use my own internet ip?

 

[mayo321]

Amazing threat!
Thanks for answering all these questions!

Here's mine:
I've just created my OGAds account and requested several landing pages.
Then I bought some prelanders from Valar.
I've also added them (after I've shortened the links again with bit.ly) to my Instagram account. The problem isn't that OGAds doesn't count the views or clicks.. - is there any special trick to active the landing pages?

I've posted the bit.ly link on about 10 accounts and also sent it to some of my friends to test it.
The stats of OGAds aren't showing any clicks. Even if I click on the links by myself, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Ogads shows stats based on the lockers. So when someone clicks & opens one of the offers in your locker itself, it will show as a click in your Ogads dashboard. You can also see Impressions in the statistic area which shows you how people have seen your locker.

 

[TheDemne]

which proxies do u recommend at the moment?

 

[Flojojr2007]

Hey DEADZ,

First of all, this is absolutely amazing that you're willing to share so much information and take the time to help others!

Initially, I joined BHW because I was interested in learning some new techniques to help my clients grow their businesses with Jarvee...This was until I stumbled across your goldmine of knowledge!

Anyway, I have an idea for how I'd like to implement your strategy and would love to run it by you for feedback. I'm thinking it might take me a bit longer to scale but maybe I'm wrong?

Would you mind PMing me?

P.S. Sorry excited, I promise to keep it brief next time!

I see.
But where's the difference between a landing page & a locker? Actually I thought it's the same?

 

[set23]

Do you use bluestack to make new accounts?

How do you change the settings in Bluestack to make it look like a ''normal'' cell phone?

How do you grown a total new Instagram account? Follow/unfollow?

Do you direct link in bio to your website?

when do you post the link of your website in the Instagram Bio?

 

[ftwdevs]

I have 2 instagram accounts (new),with 1.5K followers on both, making 50 posts on each account with tags and good description (total 100 on both) but not getting much clicks or conversation..what to do..niche is supercell games

Please suggest something, Should I keep scaling up these accounts or work on any new niche which is in trend or something else?

 

[EatMoney]

Hi DEADZ,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I just started with 5 accounts.

I've read your guide (a couple of times already) and I'm not sure about one part. You mention that to keep the accounts safe, we should point no more than 5 accounts to a final link.
If my setup is the following:
bitly link > prelander > bitly link > ogurl > my website

in this case which one is the final link?

If it's the 'my site' then if I use a parked domain as 'my website' would that count as a different 'my website' or the same one as the one it points to?

 

[Taegn]

What sources do you use for your content.

 

[CodingJesus]

How can we re-open our banned fake accounts? Most of them banned from the nudity.

 

[Bel1616]

Hi, which target do you suggest for free iPhone niche, And free follower niche?
Like how do I find the right ones for these niches?
Thank you

 

[TheDemne]

hey do you think this setup would be safe?
IG Bio -> Pre-Lander(from valar)-> Bitly/Googl -> OGurl -> .tk landing page
or should I better go for this:
IG Bio -> Pre-Lander(from valar)-> Bitly/Googl -> OGurl -> .com landing page

Sure!

I see.
But where's the difference between a landing page & a locker? Actually I thought it's the same?

The landing page is what contains the locker. In ogads for example you'll see the tab landing page request, you'll clearly see the difference from those and your locker.

Do you use bluestack to make new accounts?

How do you change the settings in Bluestack to make it look like a ''normal'' cell phone?

How do you grown a total new Instagram account? Follow/unfollow?

Do you direct link in bio to your website?

when do you post the link of your website in the Instagram Bio?

I only buy 5yrs+ old accounts.
Follow/unfollow, yes.
No. Pre-lander or Cloaker.

I have 2 instagram accounts (new),with 1.5K followers on both, making 50 posts on each account with tags and good description (total 100 on both) but not getting much clicks or conversation..what to do..niche is supercell games

Please suggest something, Should I keep scaling up these accounts or work on any new niche which is in trend or something else?

I suggest trying evergreen niches: Dating, Followers, Giveaways first. Specific niches like this require way better targeting skills and conversion triggers, etc.

I meant when cloaking. You should cloak 1.com domain per 5 ig accounts. If you're using a pre-lander you shouldn't be worrying about your endpoint. Just make sure the link in your IG bio is unique per IG account and also the bitly link behind the pre-lander should also be unique.

What sources do you use for your content.

Any account that has between 50-150k followers in the same niche that has ok engagement.

How can we re-open our banned fake accounts? Most of them banned from the nudity.

Don't know. I never tried recovering accounts.

Hi, which target do you suggest for free iPhone niche, And free follower niche?
Like how do I find the right ones for these niches?
Thank you

Free iphone niche would work well on teens 14-18 or tier 3 countries. So for example for teens: I'd use boy bands, disney/nickelodeon/musical actors, etc.

hey do you think this setup would be safe?
IG Bio -> Pre-Lander(from valar)-> Bitly/Googl -> OGurl -> .tk landing page
or should I better go for this:
IG Bio -> Pre-Lander(from valar)-> Bitly/Googl -> OGurl -> .com landing page

The pre-lander will keep your account safe. So .tk vs .com doesn't really matter in this scenario.

Thank you i will do that
