F/U vs. no F/U share your experiences

[Aveil]

I've been curious for a while on how the F/U method affects the reach of an account and since I had used it in all of mine, I started a new one where I won't be doing it to see the differences.
Have you any experience on how it affects the reach of your account or other aspects of it?

I've had nothing but great experiences with it. Does all the heavy lifting for me. haha

Follow / Unfollow helps you to reach 15k followers. After it is useless, it will ruin your account. Then you will have to focus on content & hashtags.

15k is about the right number or where I've noticed it at least.

How do you figure that?? I've got an account now still running and its above 30k. Only F/U. Using MP. Been going for 16 months now, started under 10k.

i grow one with f/uf, its 80k now, problem is when pages get big people know they will unfollow once followed so they dont follow you

I believe that f/uf don't work when your account is getting huge since a lot of users with around 50-100k followers are doing it then unfollow in 4/5 hours.

Like stated before 15k seems to be the sweetspot from where F/UF will rather hurt the account than benefit it

The thing is that I've recently heard here that doing F/U prevents you from going viral or to have any organic growth since it diminishes the reach of your posts a lot. Will this be something that fades once you stop doin F/U or is the account damaged forever and ever?

If you have 15k real followers interested in your content, you don't need f/uf to grow anymore. You just need good content and good hashtags. Of course f/uf can help you to grow faster but it can also damage your account and limit your reach.

I'm a beginner on instagram.

Please tell me how to use the F / U method without bots. And can I independently unwind an account from scratch with my own hands? And how long will it take?

How? I know people have grown accounts way bigger than mine with MP using F/UF

It's all about your settings and the content you put out. Have you tried building any accounts past 15k? I'm having no problems.

 

[amateurhunter]

I used to do F/U and it helped a lot but once I stopped I still get decent engagement but zero growth

 

[1day@freedom]

Sorry for noob question, you guy mention follow/unfollow method meaning that We only bot our accounts with follow/unfollow?. Will we easily get catched by IG as we dont act like a human to do follow/unfollow + like picture?

I'm doing affiliate offer, will only follow/unfollow method get better follower which is good for doing affiliate?

Tks

I only do f/u for secondary accounts. Never on mains or personal brands. It's not a good way to build trust.

How come it's not a good way to build trust? I view followers as top of the funnel. From there it's a matter of engaging people through content and then moving them down the funnel.

Whenever some random account I've never interacted with starts following me I lose trust in them. Especially when they're following thousands of people. It seems spammy.

f/unf does not block your account of going viral btw. That's like the worst lie ever told lol

 

[Kowalski5]

I use f/u up to around 10k followers, after this I concentrate on good content and hashtags.

You have a point here. I agree.

How do you build following then? I am still trying to figure out IG hehe.
