Thanks for your previous reply!
What would be the follow back ratio in art niche?
%10 is low? Or just normal?

i recently had some issues i hope you can shed some light on how to solve.

my first instagram account i ever made ( to test waters) got a breack and started gaining 300-500 followers a day. everything is good and fine and even to this day some of my uploads gets 100k+ views and roughly 400-500 followers a day (at 12k followers now) however, i have hit 2 major issues in the past week or so.

issue 1. i uploaded a video as i always do (1-2 uploads a day mostly 1) and noticed it got almost 0 engagements. after it being up for about 1 hour and only having 20 views and about 5 likes i archived it and uploaded another post which was ment to the day after but was ready to go. at that point everything went back to normal.

then today. i uploaded a post and from the analytics on that post (because it was doing weirdly poorly) none of my followers had seen the post so i deleted it and did the same as last time and uploaded another video and it worked again. however! this time when i am checking analytics it shows that from the 800 views and 300 likes almost all of them is from followers. only 7% weren't following me according to the insight tool.

now this seems strange to me as any other posts i have uploaded has always had a decent spread in the first 3-12 hours with about 60% followers and 40% non followers. is it jsut the analytic tool that is broken? my post seems to get a decent amount of likes overtime as well.

how much are f/uf and liking on a daily basis...
May be you are making very high number of API calls thats why insta shadow banned u!!

i don't follow/unfollow people unless i really dont like what they post. i have never used the follow/unfollow method. i dont like photos etc every day but once every 2-4 days i like about 20 posts.

i comment and engage with the people that comment on my posts etc.

i have tried to stay clear of all the "shady" stuff on instagram. the only "shady" thing i am using right now is Buffer. but that is not a "buy followers here" kind of a thing.

no i am simply using the app as it was intended and piggyback riding of posts that did really good.

it's not rocket science.

and also anything not tagged or like this latest post that aperently only show to my followers gets between 400-800 likes within 24 hours which is really good engagement rate at my follower level.

I've got to run some more. I am not sure

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge.
I have a single account directed towards men's fitness.
Using a boot (F/U - Likes) I have been able to grow it from a few 100 to 3.000 on a MAC platform
I was posting daily (1-3 X a day), always using 30 related hashtags, all original content
Questions:
a - any tips for finding the best rashtags related to my niche?
b - what is your suggested F/U ratio?
c - Do I need to use a Proxy//VPN?
d - What bots have been the best in your experience (in terms of efficiency+efficacy)
e - am I missing anything?

Please, pm me if you want to take a look at the account.

how to build instagram account from 0 to 10k in less time with real flowers

This is a super vague question so I will answer in a general sense.
1. This is the most important step , pick a quality industry --- if you make a page about pencils chances are you will grow slow <-----
2. start with a quality account to avoid any non-sense
3. produce or scrape content that is the best of the best
4. Be consistent

I've got to run some more. I am not sure

More and more this is the ticket for success

Im struggling with a problem, maybe you can help me. Yesterday I got PV and I made it without any problem, but after this PV im not receiving traffic from hashtags. What can I do now? How can I fix it?

I have a instagram account (Babes niche) it never got shadowbanned but hashtags not working? it has been months so there is no point of somekind of shadowban.
New followers also stopped.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

How can i see the age of my account?

Chris thanks for being such a great helper for everyone. I just read all of these 19 pages, but I have a different kind of question for you.

I am growing pages for my clients, but I have only 10 of them, so at the moment I use 2 smartphones to do F/UF. I would like to scale this and to work for much more people, but I am a beginner when it comes to VPN-S and every other term, a real beginner.

So my question is this:

I would like only to use software for unfollow from let's say 20 profiles in the future, but I am affraid that I can't do that from my PC, because I don't have a knowledge about computer world so I don't know can I just pay those Jarvee's and stuff and be safe doing unfollow from one PC or I have to use multiple PC like I am using two smartphones?

My goal is to have employees manually do following and everything but I must fix the "unfollow part". I'm doing 99 unfollows every hour, 4 times a day, so also I hope this is okay, haven't had a problem for 6 months.

Thanks, hope you understand my question, because I really have no clue how works VPN's and stuff

I’ve been in the IG game for 5 years. In that time I’ve managed over 2,500 different accounts on various freelance platforms and delt with every type of client alive.

Along with that I’ve ran every CPA offer imaginable and bought and sold accounts aged and new along with selling SMM services to.

I’m not the absolute best Instagram marketer by far, however I’ve came across tons of issues and have learned a ton along the way and I would love to help this community any way I could especially the noobs to steer them in the proper direction.

I’ve most certainly benefited from this forum more times that once and I've messed up and learned from my mistakes possibly 1,000's of times so I feel I could be of great service to a lot and give back to my #1 forum.

If you have a question regarding Instagram, automation , CPA anything Instagram related please ask away. And if any other pros can chime in please do.

Hello, I want to know how IG is created in large quantities, and I personally plan to use these accounts for a long time. As far as the current situation is concerned, I bought nearly 200 accounts. There is no doubt that they are all deactivated. I don't have any radical operations. I saw a lot of people saying that it was a proxy problem. Because I personally doubt the problem of the account itself. It seems that buying an account is not a good choice. I want to know a lot of ways to create an account, and through the tool can achieve the process of slow account growth. This will save a lot of time.

Would you mind to share the seller, the tools and the proxies used?

I would take a quick look here on the forum there is a guide similar to what we are doing currently ( but we are at scale ) using sims to create accounts. This will help you with your creation of quality accounts and get you in the right direction . Sorry but not sure the name of the post however take a look this should point you in the correct direction.

I run some ads on Instagram to increase my engagament. I have an idea to scrape usernames of the people who liked my post but it seems that the full list is not showing in browser so I can’t scrape. Do you have an idea how to do this?

 

[linda0621]

A little over view. I have an old account (6-7years) I used follower liker and about 6 month ago I switched to Jarvee. I follow/unfollow about 700-850 per day, I also use comment/DM not aggressively. never get blocked/banned. Sometime I get banned for liking post but it recovers in a day or two.


Recently I’m having a problem with engagement. I get lots of followers on using hashtags (usually gain 100 followers on post and 500 followers on some good posts) and on average 60-70% people who don’t follow me see and engagement with my post. Ever since early April this year (2019) my instagram engagement has been down… so much. Only 1-2% people don’t follow me has see my post. And I gained almost no new followers from posting. I didn’t get shadowbanned because I use other account (that does not follow my account) and I can still find my post from hashtags. But they showed up way down from the top search.

I’ve tried pause my bot for a few days. I’ve also tried to switch to personal account. It doesn’t seems to work. Anyone experience the same problem? Please help. Thank you!
