Any advises for mass Botting?

[inyahead]

hey guys!

I would like to start a network of Instagram Bots, starting with 100 accounts for testing, goal are 5000 bots. I worked a lot with IG accounts, but never tried botting at all.

my plan: buy aged accounts (marketplace seller: Price for each 0.49 $)

the first Problem is the BOT, out there are so many different BOTs and every one seems to be perfect
maybe GMT 2? which BOT is good to handle 100 accounts and more (mass uploading pics etc.) ?

another point .. the proxies. I read its recommend to user 1 proxy per account.
i think i ll order 500 ipv6 proxies for testing. ipv4 is cheaper but worse?

Or its better to use services like "socialhammer" to handle all the accounts online?

sorry for my bad english

best regards

Ipv4 is better than ipv6.. ipv6 works for F/UF (kind of) if you have experience. I recommend you do more research before buying 500 proxies..

You sound like you need to do a lot more research if you're asking those questions as those are just the basics, and there are a lot of other factors that will come to play while doing this.

Starting out with 100 accounts is one of your biggest mistakes to start, you should start off with 10 and keep doing sets of 10 until you have everything figured out. Because even when you feel you have it figured out, once you scale it to 50.. there will be a whole set of new unforseen issues that will arise. Then when you can manage 50 accounts for 2 weeks straight, then slowly go up until you reach 100. When you can run 100 successfully for a couple weeks, then you can start adding them in sets of 50 and 100.. but trying to start off at anything more than 10-20 with no experience in automation, you'll ultimately fail and have wasted a lot of money and time.

I'm saying all this speaking from experience, I run a large network of accounts right now and have been for several years, but I also went thrun the headache of wasting alot of time and money trying to start off with too much, too quickly. Just browse the Journey section and you can find hundreds of failed IG threads of people who tried doing exactly what you planned on doing.

Be smart, take your time and read up on automation and all the issues that come with it for a good 2 weeks, and then start off small.. no more than 10-15, and then scale up slowly.

And keep in mind, you're going to have to do a lot of trial and error testing, buying good quality accounts, good quality proxies as well as having the proper settings to run. Trying to copy the settings and setup of what you might read someone else is doing, you're never guaranteed for it to perform the same.. as with proxies, you might buy them from the same provider as someone else and their subnet be clean and yours already be flagged. You might buy accounts from the same person as someone that made a suggestion, and the group of accounts they received were created in a different fashion, or came originally from a different source before they were resold to you.. and can possibly be flagged already as well.

As for your settings, it's best to check out a template that someone might have posted, or settings that someone recommended, and then use that as a blueprint to fine tune, and try different variations of those settings on the proxies and accounts you're working with.

That should be enough information to get you started, and give you the right frame of mind that you should be working with when you begin this project. Don't become another failed journey, lost in the journey section.. we already have more than enough of those. Good luck with everything.

Start small. Don't dive in with a 100 accounts as you will probably lose them all. Start with 5, learn whatever program you use.

Buy the best / most expensive accounts you can. If someone is selling cheap, there is a reason (they were made on the cheap). Same with proxies, more expensive the better.

But get started, start testing, reviewing, improving. Then scale up as you learn more / get more proficient in botting.

Good luck

Start off slow with a few accounts and a few proxies. Don't just dive in by spending lots of cash on accounts and proxies because you'll get overwhelmed. Get the process down first and then start slowly increasing once you start seeing positive results.

I would recommend not starting out on IPv6 proxies if you've never botted accounts before.

Start out on IPv4 unless you planning to grow big acconts, for that you'll need to buy HQ proxies.

Thank you very much guys!

Im gonna start with 10 accounts & 10 proxies IPV4.

Regarding the SOftware i would like to choose JARVEE instead of GMT.

Im gonna use the proxies from socialproxies.com (marketplace post).

Sounds like a good plan you have there.

I'm currently running 2 accounts / IPv4 without any problems but all I'm doing is following/unfollowing.

Both are great softwares but if you have the money, definitely go with Jarvee.

I can't give you an opinion on socialproxies as I've never tried them yet.

Can someone tell me how important is the LOcation of the proxy?
Should i take Proxies located in my own country or its not that important?

WHats the effect of choosing a proxy located in a specific country - does it matter for me?

thanks in advance!

In addition to all those tips above, you should know, there will be frustration and there will be a lot of accounts going on verification and being disabled.

So the core essence is - you need to go through it - at some point it will work, even if not right at the start

choose good proxies, because it can really affect bot performing.
most of the proxies are already banned by instagram.

I can recommend smartproxies.io but they are a bit more expensive as they come with traffic control

visited this day already.

Starter pack = 200$ per month, 20 GB included.
micro = $75 per month, 5GB included.

i really have no glue how much traffic i need to run 10 accounts.

just to clearify: i buy a pack and got a unlimited amout of proxies? so i dont pay per proxy, i just pay for the traffic?
Best regards

"Pick a pricing plan. Use an unlimited number of connections, threads, and countries at once."

thanks.
i just wanted to make sure because my english is not the best

Learn to code. It may not be the fastest solution, but definitely the best one in a long run. It also enables you to make bots that no one else has, or at least there aren't any available publicly for those platforms. What's better than having a bot that no one else has? Lottery win, but I wouldn't count on that.

Yes you get as much proxies as you need (you can choose and change the country anytime) and you just need to be within the traffic.
I don't know how much traffic a running bot uses.

I need to adjust my statement from before.
I recommend them because I use them for account creation, which takes 1-2MB per Account created. then I use ipv6
