Instagram Marketing Q&A

[dotc0m]

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.

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.

I think the e-book would be a great idea!

Demand is high for that type of information, Good luck to you.

Do you create the accounts yourself, or do you buy a large amount of them from one seller?

Also, does it matter if the accounts are aged, or as long as you don't rush the warm up process its fine?

Thanks for all the help on this thread!

Hi,

I'm facing a lot of bans now ( like 6 or 7 everiday ) running 30 accounts.

In the begining I could run the bot for days without having allmost no bans.

Do you guys know, if I get one account banned on a certain proxy, should I ask a replacement of the proxy in my proxy provider? Or can I take out the banned account from the proxy and insert a new account in the same proxy?

 

[.:mAestro:.]

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.

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?

First of all, thank you very much for your detailed response.
I really appreciate that!

Q1: In some cases, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you run accounts. You will get action block even when you try to follow the first person.
After a lot of testing, it came down to proxies. Some proxies are good and most of them on the market will get action blocks.
Now I know how's your provider and will test their proxies as well.

Q2: Just because of the link. I don't purchase accounts. I have a lot of the accounts I made myself several years ago.
Last night and this morning I was thinking a lot why that could happen. Decided to test a bunch of different link in other accounts bio.
Found just some random links to different websites and, you're already guessing, my accounts are still alive.
So, the problem was in my domains. I'm ditching that sh*t and preparing new LP's.
Btw. those accounts that stayed alive after adding new link actually were the ones with my last domain that was working.

Q3: Thank you very much in advance! That would help me a lot in the process of searching for the best possible sources!

Q4: You already answered all I wanted to hear in one another post Thanks for that as well.

Q5: Several different niches like health, fitness, fashion, travel etc. Yep, only one account per proxy.
It looks like the answer to my problems are domains like I said above.


Once again, thank you very much for this thread.
I'm off and on in this Instagram game and that's a mistake. If I would be focused at least 1/3 of my working hours I would get amazing results from it.
If I will have some other question(s) where the answer is not that obvious right away I will write you here.

Hi,
i opened a new instagram account yesterday, and i'm posting 2 posts with hashtags, but still my posts don't show up in hashtags feed ?
i don't use any banned hashtag... i used about 10-12 hashtags in my posts
what should I do right now?
sorry for my bad english, Thank you.

 

[kyniu6]

What type of urls you prefer? Just new .com domains with or without bitly? Or other tricks?

Second thing - prelander first, then landing page or just link to LP directly

If you're saying it was because of your proxies why you're getting the action blocks.. wouldn't that be the same reason why you're getting banned for just the link? I've never dealt with my accounts being blocked because of the proxy, although I'm sure if your provider is giving out recycled proxies that people have abused already, then you can't really expect anything else. Only use a reliable proxy provider.. The speed at which you perform actions definitely has a huge impact on you getting blocked. If you jump in with an account you haven't used for months or years, and just start following/ unfollow the max people a day, you can't not expect to get blocked. You have to emulate real human behaviors. As I was telling someone else somewhere else, instagram has all the top public bots, and know all their functions.. so there spam protection is going to attempt to shut that shit down. Try to be an unique as possible with your actions. I can only speak from experience, starting off slow, with little actions I'm the beginning has worked successfully for me. The domains you were using, you were using said domain on multiple accounts? Or did an account get banned or blocked already with that domain in the bio? If yes, then yeah.. those footprints are leading all back to the same place. 1 account = 1 proxy = 1 link; eliminate all trails back to the same source. And if your account dies, don't reuse that link in your new account.

I prefer .com domains because people trust them more for some reason. But really you can use any type of domain. Alot of my accounts I just use a .com, with a redirect to my offer. I do have some that goto landing pages first then to my offer, but that's only for specific offers.

You've went thru the whole news feed? More than likely it will be all the way at the bottom since they're new accounts .. but give it a little bit of time, it should eventually pop up.

I think I'm going to make one in the near future. I've already started compiling some information and deciding on what information to include. I'm going to include some of my own personal tips and tricks in it as well, should be a good read. Thanks for your input.

Do you create the accounts yourself, or do you buy a large amount of them from one seller?

Also, does it matter if the accounts are aged, or as long as you don't rush the warm up process its fine?

Thanks for all the help on this thread!

When I first began instagram marketing, I purchased a couple hundred accounts in bulk for the reason or testing, blew thru a bunch of them learning the game. After I settled on what was working for me, I was left with approximately 200 accounts or less. After running those for a few months and seeing that things were working properly, I began creating accounts in sets of 25-30. It's best if you're going to purchase them to buy aged accounts, preferably ones that haven't had any blocks yet. Once an account gets blocked, it's flagged and will reach blocks more often than usual. Hope that answers your questions bro.

What is the maximum number of account per proxy

What is the maximum number of account per proxy

1 Proxy Per IP

 

[Crucia]

1 Proxy Per IP

Hello,

Please help,

I manage clients accounts to grow their followers, they also login to this accounts to make post. This means that each clients use different ips to login.

From my end, I used a single IP to follow n unfollow. Is there any danger in that, since these clients are already logged into the account using another IP.

Thanks

yes you need to have them run a VPN on android or web with the designated proxy that you use

I don't believe my accounts were banned because of the proxy-link relation. Since every other domain/link I tried randomly is working on those proxies I'm pretty sure my domains were the problem.
And yeah, I was using the same domain on the multiple accounts (same domain, different links).
Nope, previous accounts were not banned using those links. Just at the moment when I edited the next group of 50+ accounts with the same domains.

I have done some more testing with other domains and every account is still alive.
It's a time to prepare a whole new batch of links for bio's

Do I have to have them do that, many digital marketing agencies, manage multiple accounts on sites like hootsuite and still have their clients oversee what's going. Does that mean that they are also at the risk of getting banned.

If automation is in the picture then you need to always be behind a proxy if using hootsuite or other whitehat scheduler, then no masking is needed

Sorry for taking your time but please check your DM's.

Hello, I run an Instagram of my cat (current followers of 10k) I have liks 1k likes and 20 comments per picture and I want to monetize it, do you think that dropshipping model will work out on it?
The thing is that I dont want to harm my audience giving them the cpa or something like that.
Few more questions:
Do you shotout your own accounts in your other accounts?
How many people do you follow/unfollow/like daily?
Do you use the DM option in your marketing?
Do you post any pictures? or its just a profile with the link in bio
Also Im curious what you do with that 300 accounts? Do you promote your own stuff or work in affiliate programs?
If any question was answered Im sorry for repeating.
