Hi guys,

I am a new member but have been following the BHW IG forum for a while. I decided to create an account as I would appreciate your expertise on an issue I am facing.

I have a travel IG account for around a year and currently stand at around 5000 followers and quite good engagement. I post my own content, which I believe is not bad, and aspire to use my account commercially. I used FollowAdder for F/UF and Liking in the past, however at Nov 2018 when IG got updated I got consecutive bans without changing my settings, so I decided to stop botting. I also had an app tracking followers/unfollowers on my phone, but it got messed up after the last update so I had to uninstall.

After stopping botting, my growth stagnated. I did some manual F/UF for a while which was effective, however it was very time-consuming and messy without automation and any following tracking apps so I stopped this too. I am very serious about creating content and instagramming so I am looking for a clean, long-term and painless solution that will allow me to grow again.

My needs are the following:

1/ security: I don't want to take any risks for long-term penalty or permanent bans on my account. Also, if I need to provide credentials to a software, I want to make sure these will be kept safe. Security is my top priority.

2/ OS: I am working on a Mac only operating Apple OS so can only use compatible software (e.g.not Jarvee).

3/ growth: I am looking for a solution that can realistically provide around 50 new followers per day. I know my content is good enough, if it gets in front of the right eyes.

4/ cost: my budget is around £20-30 per month for any paid services

My plan:

Advertise each post on IG (I get around 2000 likes for £2). Then, restart automation and target all non-followers who liked my content with F/UF.

My questions for you:

1/ Is batting the right solution for my problem in 2019? If yes, which bot (compatible with Mac) would you use given the above parameters?

2/ Is F/UF the best strategy to solve my problem? What do you think of my idea to advertise my content and then target non-followers who like it?

3/ Are you aware of any software to accurately track followers / unfollowers for large accounts after the last update?

Thanks for reading. Any advice will be very much appreciated.


Cheers,
Andy
 
1- You need a web basedbot or you need to install a VM in your mac
2- Yes F/UN is the way you go and likes too
3 to track your stats use

Thank you for your time to reply my friend.

Could you clarify a couple of things please:

1- Could you suggest a reliable, trustworthy and popular service? Isn't there any good software working for Mac? FollowAdder worked fine but looking if there is a better one.

2- Thanks

3- My account is not a business account, so socialblade does not provide info. Also, I am not only looking for analytics. I am looking for software that can provide specific info on who unfollowed me so that I can unfollow back.

vurku.com Is the best Instagram scraper I've ever used. And it's free. Also a paid version.

I would suggest installing a virtual machine + (windows os) on your mac (youtube it, it's easy) then use jarvee for everything. IMO.

Why do you recommend web-based bot instead of software bot like jarvee?
 
You can use FollowPlanner web based app from @IGKing
But, if I were on your shoes and I had an account with good engagement I'll do all manually using well researched #hashtags and join an engagement group to speed things up (don't ask me which).
You could also use flumeapp to program boring tasks and enjoy analytics (Mac download - cheap price).
Use Cleaner app to purge your account now and then.

Last: Why isn't yours a business account? Make it if you haven't. IG stats are the best stats you'll get!
