I'm creating this thread to try and help others with their instagram marketing. I have alot of knowledge on the subject, and I know others do to. If you have a question related to marketing on instagram marketing, feel free to ask me. I've been getting too many questions via PM, and it interrupts me seeing other messages I may get. Please read through the thread as it builds up, and try not to ask duplicate questions. I'll more than likely disregard a question if it's been answered already.
Anyway, instagram has over 800 million users, that's enough users for all of us to get a piece of the pie. I have a busy life online and offline and don't always get the opportunity to come on here everyday so please be patient if I don't respond right away.
Well, let's get this party started. Cheers and good luck with getting to the bag! (the money bag if that went over your head. :D:D:D)
 
Just came to your profile to see if you have opened this thread and... yes!
You've just created it a few seconds ago :D

Thanks for doing this!
Questions will follow.
 
Q1: How do you deal with action blocks these days?
Q2: Why some new accounts get banned right away when I edit bio/add a link and some stay alive? I can't find the source of that atm...
Q3: Is there a way or a tool to help you find great sources (for an example, I want to find users that have following between 100k and 500k where engagement rate is above 5%)?
Q4: Do you have any tip on how to organize our accounts on different machines? Anything notable from your experience. Especially when you run more than 200 accounts.

And probably most important one:
Q5: Some of mine really old accounts, actually most of them, get banned few moments after I add a new link. How to avoid that? Btw. they are active almost every day.
 
Best VPS for running Jarvee?
I don't use Jarvee, and when I used the free trial I ran it directly from one of my laptops. The one I ran it off is only a dual-core, with i think 4gb of RAM, and it still ran without any hiccups.

Definitely. It will probably get out of hand with "can you pass me a spoon, and feed me" questions.. but we'll try and work with what we can. I've learned alot from this community, so I felt it's only right to give back. :p

best way to monitiza insta
Might want to be more specific. There's plenty of ways to monetize instagram, it all depends on what you're offering to your audience. Since your question is so broad, I'll give you a broad answer buddy. Build a following, point them to your website in your bio or build a relationship with them and then push your offer via DMs.

Q1. I haven't been dealing with action blocks, I run all my accounts slow. I rather take my time and build them up and not deal with any blocks or bans, then getting my account flagged and banned. Once you recieve your first ban, you'll see alot more.. alot easier. This is a marathon, not a sprint... for me atleast. :D

Q2. Your accounts are getting banned from just adding a link and putting something in the bio? You're buying shitty accounts that are already hot, or your proxies are hot. I've never experienced that before. All my recent accounts I created myself, but my first 200 I bought, and never had that occur. Try a new provider for your accounts and/or proxies.

Q3. I'm sure there is, I don't know of one though. Thanks for an idea for a program to make. If I do, I'll send you a copy for the idea.

Q4. I organize my acounts in my instagram bot. I run a little over 300 accounts, over 3 laptops. 100 per laptop. Makes it easier to keep them organized. What exactly are you trying to organize with them? One of my daily tasks is making sure none of my account to are banned, or are facing blocks. My bot has that option integrated in it. And then I check to make sure all my urls are still active. As I mentioned in a previous thread, don't use the same urls in every account to avoid a mass ban.

Q5. What niche are the accounts in? Instagram I believe manually checks and account when you change your username or your link. I could be wrong, but I don't see why else they would ban it for just changing a link. Are you running said accounts 1 proxy per account, or are you sharing proxies amongst them?

What do you use?
 
1. Are you spamming or growing account?
2. How you find content? Create or repost?
3. When you start monitizing? From beginning or after few thousand followers?
4. How much you earn per accounts?

A bot me and a friend developed.

1. I'm marketing most of my accounts. I grow them while marketing them, no need to seperate the process. Only thing should be seperated from marketing them is the warming up process... approx 10-15 of them I'm warming them up.

2. I'm a beast with snatching other people's content. Shout out to all the people who have contributed without knowing. :D:D:D

3. Answered that in the first question. It depends on what you're marketing though, my accounts are split up between multiple CPA offers and affiliate products(both electronic and physical). If the account is under 1k, I still consider it in a warming up process.. and don't add a link to the bio. Mind you, you don't have to do it like that.. I'm running alot of accounts, so I'm not in a rush to throw that link in there.
4. Varys, because all my accounts don't promote the same thing.
 
Where are you buying proxies? And you go 1 proxy 1 account or what?
 
I asked SpawnR this question on this post earlier,

How do handle and organize all your campaign data?

From Usernames, pass, email info, to campaign content such as pics, post captions, hashtags, etc...

I have a few hundred accounts running and maintaining all this information is bit challenging..

wondering what others setup is.

I use a hybrid of cloud file services such as onedrive along with local storage...backups are also maintained...

Could you possibly lead us noobs in the right direction of where to buy hq acc and proxies? And also is there a way to edit the accounts after you buy them because last time I bought 50 and all were useless because as soon as I tried to log in and edit them it knocked me out of ig. Thanks in advance
 
Any Free Software to Auto Post on Multiple Accounts at once?

Auto post what, pictures? I know there are a bunch of free 3 day trial services that Auto post. You could give one of them a try. I wouldn't recommend using any free instagram bots.. alot of them are just Trojans. It's a reason people charge for them, because they have to be constantly updated. No one's doing that for free unfortunately.

I run 300+ accounts so I know the pain. I'm a bit unorganized I guess you could say, but it works for me because I'm running it. From the outside looking in it might be to grasp it. So I split the accounts up amongst 3 laptops, approximately 100 each computer. Each account, I have all of its pictures in a directory with the account name as the title, and also future pictures in a sub directory. Included in the directory is a fIle with username:pass, email address:password, hashtags, bio details, details on what I'm promoting since I promote multiple things. Then I have all the accounts info on an excell sheet. Simple and straight to the point.

What is your process for finding follow sources?
Follow hashtags related to your niche. And follow the followers of big accounts in your niche.

Lol. It works though. Like I was saying, from the outside in, it looks confusing.. but when you're the one who set it up, its kind of like clockwork.
 
The best advice you want to give me if I will be stepping into the instagram game today?? I was thinking of instagram a long ago but can't step into it just give me one most important advice if I will be stepping into this today.

definitely sometimes I get interrupted while in the middle of something, and I come back to what seems like data spaghetti...

guess theirs a method to the madness...

When starting off with your accounts, whether new or aged.. build them slow. Resist the urge to try and rush to 1k followers, because all you do is get banned or run into blocks.. and once you recieve one block, it will eventually release bit your account will be flagged and recieved blocks more rapidly.

I was thinking of writing an ebook on Internet marketing. Seems to be alot of demand on how to get started marketing on instagram, and even those that have been doing it for a while still have alot of questions. What are people's thoughts on an all out, everything you need to make money on instagram ebook? I don't know how to make a poll for the thread, so you can just answer me here or send me a pm with ideas for the book. :rolleyes:

Don't pm me asking questions please, I recieve too many of those, despite asking people to not pm me and just ask any questions in the thread.. I'll eventually just ignore them.. I've been trying to be humble. :mad::mad:
