White hat way to get content for IG?

[Mr. Umair]

I want to create two IG accounts for a gaming and business niche and I'm wondering is there any completely whitehat/legal way to get content (images, videos, stories) for free without creating them yourself? Although, I've plan to create content myself but I want to post at least 3 posts on each account so getting some free and good quality content will help a lot. Thanks!

You can use a tool that scrapes posts from other accounts and then repost the good ones. Most accounts in the gaming niche are doing that. I created a tool where basically you can type in a username or hashtag and it will scrape the posts from that search and then you can sort it by likes, comments, etc. That's probably a good place to start.

Well, I guess that reposting and crediting the source can be considered white hat. To go 100% white hat, you ought to ask your source in advance and in written if you can repost and give credit.
Also another way to get free fresh content is to ask your own followers to send you their own photos to be featured on your page.
You can also pay someone to create original content for you. I'm sure somebody is offering such a service on Fiverr

Ok good, but I've another question, Is it enough to share other peoples post on instagram?

I use Jarvee which has a image scraper which you can gather comment from and can only alter it so that it places the image owner's instagram and location in the caption.

Are you guys even reading the question? Anything involving reposting is not legal unless you have permission from the original creator. Good suggestion to ask your followers to send in content though.

Not sure about gaming but for business niche you can use Public domain images that are free to use without attributions for commercial purpose too. www.pixabay.com and www.unsplash.com are my favorites.

Just repost, and quote the source. And you can upload all the content you wish

or use DRM free content.
