Hey BHW community !

This is my first journey here, I joined this forum a month ago, I read a lot of threads and journey, it helped me so I finally decided to post mine.

Résumé :

I am a web and mobile French freelancer for 4years+ now (but still student, 21yo). I work mostly on French freelance platforms.


The point of this journey is :

I work hard to get decent contracts with start-ups and companies but it still doesn't even repay my student loans.

So I decided to try and increase my income for good this time with Instagram.
By the way I won't stop here, after that, I'll create accounts on other social medias and affiliate blogs.

"Why do you start with Instagram and not something else" you'd say.

I think that nowadays Instagram is "THE" money ressource even though I don't really like their impact on society. Also, it's a good idea to start with a social media because if you go viral you can easily rinse and repeat your concept on all other social medias.
(This is my opinion but I'd like to hear about yours)


"Why would you leave your comfort zone and work on something that you are not at ease with" you'd think.

Learn MORE. I wanna know all of this planet web/mobile aspect to at least understand it and maybe I'll be good at it somehow.


Goals :

  • 10 IG Accounts that will bring at least 1$/d each.
  • 100 Followers per day each at least.
  • Master account engagement and increase it. (Let's say 30% minimum for each (varies between niches))
  • Master Jarvee mandatory tools and settings.
  • Successfully integrate CPA to my IG accounts.


Tools :

  • Phone with 4G to create account
  • 5 Proxies
  • AWS Free Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base
  • Jarvee 10 accounts plan
  • Vurku Free (@KraftyKyle) for content download
  • Canva for captions handmade

Notes on tools :
- I don't know if I can name the providers of the proxies
- This AWS Windows server is free but does not have enough ressources... laggin too much and crashing too often, feel free to recommand a better solution..
- I plan on buying Vurku pro later when I'll learn how to master posts scrapping !


Progress :

04/22 - Created 3 accounts successfully with my phone. Emails were created with the associated account proxy on Hotmail. (Thinking about using Gmail later on for phone verification). Started the warm up of account 1 which is supposed to be the test account without proxy.
CPA marketplaces joined : MaxBounty, RevenueWire, ClickBank

04/28 - Mastered "Follow" "Unfollow" "Like" "Destination Lists" and "Campaign" tools of Jarvee.

05/01 - Started the warm up of account 2 which is supposed to be the test account with proxy and linear settings.

05/08 -
Created the message template with "Contact" tool supposed to be sent when a user follow your account for account 1 and 2.
Not working, or maybe working but I don't see the direct messages sent on the account. Someone knows how that actually works ? (At "Contact" Tools at "Send Message To New Followers").

05/09 - First stories post on both accounts 1 (with my phone) and 2 (with Jarvee to tag users and hashtag to increase engagement).
Difficulty to customize the story posting from Jarvee for account 2, need help.

05/10 - Starting to gather infos about tools for the following expected result
Comment automation : How to not be seen as a bot.
Follow Back automation : value with engagement (I don't really trust that following back people can actually make them engage more).
Repost function : How to succeed in reposting easy content and let the bot do the work.

05/10 - Planning to create 8 fresh accounts.

Questions :

I definitely need some help here. But it's not one sided, I would be more than happy to share my settings and knowledge with you guys.


- What do you think about creating a mail address linked to your account with the proxy you use to run the account ? Do you think it's safer or I shouldn't do that ?
I heard that a lot of ppl prefer creating the mail address with 4G.​

- What if the phone number is not verified in none of my accounts ? Will my account be prejudiced if I do not have one ?
Seems to be working fine...​

- Which "Follow sources" features do you use and which one do you think is the more valuable in terms of follow back ?
For me it seems to be "Follow followers of target accounts" that works the most followed by "Follow Users that interacted with posts on target account"

- Is "Repost" that good ?
I'm scared that the bot repost bad content, captions or something. I did all the posts captions and message by myself with Canva
- Should I build my next accounts based on CPA or based on content concept first ?
I am really disappointed since I don't find interesting niche to relate. Could you guys help me out and commute me to some good topics ? As you can see my 3 accounts have really bad niches already..

Got a thousand more...
Don't hesitate to PM me BHW IG gurus, with some quality advices I'll RULE IG FOR GOOD !
(Ok maybe not but my determination is flawless)

Wish me bonne chance :) !

I am starting to dig on hashtags usage which seem to be the key of viral content. Most of the tools that I find are down or bs.
 
How u r creating IG accounts ?
And good luck on your journey

1) Downloading multiple social media app on your phone
2) Airplane Mode On / Off (four couple of second to switch IP)
2) Make sure you are with 4G (Turn Wifi Off)
3) Duplicate Instagram application with app of step 1
4) Create account
5) Sign Out, Delete Instagram copy
6) Rinse and repeat starting step 2.

Seems to be working fine for me.

Thanks mate !
 
What about putting them on Jarvee what proxies do you use for them ???
 
I'm curious to follow your journey as I too want to make money from IG. You seem highly motivated which is definitely the recipe for success. Good luck!
 
3) Duplicate Instagram application with app of step 1

Interesting. I found out some years ago, that Instagram seems to retrieve some kind of Hardware ID to know you are doing this in the same device. Maybe latest Android version hinder this?
You may discover it within 1 month, that was the time FB/Instagram took to start banning with my accounts made with this method.
 
good luck on your journey.
just starting my journey as well
10 ig accounts created and in the warmup.

I put them on Jarvee right after, using 1 proxy per account for now, I plan on trying 2 accounts per proxies.
I use SSLPrivateproxy and so far it's the best even though some accounts seems to get banned anyway. I tried HighProxies, didn't worked out for me.

Thanks ! My motivation always have been my strength. Hope you will learn from my mistakes ;).

Good luck on your journey man!

Thanks a lot bro :D

Well as I see it, it would be the latest IOS that retrieve the IP because I changed my phone recently for an IOS and let down my Android but since I did that, all the accounts I created got banned.
Would you recommand another method ?
Also I start to think that it's because I don't verify a phone on those accounts.

good luck on your journey.

Thank you, hope you will succeed, the journey is really hard :').


Update :

  • Entrepreneur student motivation niche (380 Followers) (13% Engagement)
6 fresh warming up accounts

All my others accounts got banned. Looking for another method to create a proper bot account.
Also I managed to configure :

Campaign posts dynamic hashtags
Update all my accounts to business accounts

Since I did that, I found out that all the metrics your business accounts gives can help you to better understand your audience.
You can watch the hashtags impressions that you earn by using them on your posts.

I also got a huge account banning rate because I added the accounts to Instagram App on my phone for Business mode but the accounts got banned the day after.
How do you guys put the bot accounts on your phone ? Shouldn't I ? Maybe let them signed in the duplicate social app...

Start to wonder about buying aged accounts and @IGKing Ebook or something

Still have a lot to do, will keep in touch once or twice a week.

Hey bro, so this is how to make a good fresh instagram account.
I did not make this method I just remember reading this from somewhere.

step 1. download chrome browser
step 2. download the following extensions: random user-agent, webrtc leak prevent, ghostery
step 3. go on mobile phone
step 4. turn on airplane mode on phone for 5-10 seconds
step 5. turn on hotspot
OPTIONAL step 6. google "what is my ip"
OPTIONAL step 7. turn on airplane mode on phone for 5-10 seconds again
OPTIONAL step 8. turn off airplane mode and turn hotspot back on
OPTIONAL step 9. check if ur ip changed (this is needed so you can check if u can change ur ip on ur mobile proxy 4g/3g/5g)
step 10. create fresh email (outlook works very good for me)
step 11. sign up
step 12. when creating new account, close incognito, click on random user agent extension, then click get new agent 5-10 times
step 13. repeat

have a nice day :)

Thanks, that's what I needed, I'll give it a shot :)
 
Thanks man, still tryharding tho. A lot to do
 
- Finally found a good solution to improve the follow backs after a lot of tests. 100 per day, pretty decent.
t7LZ6Uy

Will now inject the settings to the others accounts *_*

- Working on reply messages to new followers, working well, engagement improving :D
I would love some examples of good messages if you guys know some.

- By the way a lot of accounts are still getting banned. Trying a new solution from now on and starting to think about buying old accounts...

Great journey by the way, following :)
