Any real method to grow on instagram?

[Movementking]

So is there any working method to get real Followers on your insta account? i`ve seen so many threads asking this on this page now but none of the replies were really helpful....on the marketplace there are a bunch of sellers where you can buy likes and follows, but these are all dead ones. i want to know a working method how u can actual grow ur insta with "real" followers and traffic. is there anything working?

Depends if you are meaning you want organic growth with good engagement or trying to bot your way.

 

[Movementking]

does it make a big difference? organic is more difficult and botting easier and faster but the result is the almost same isnt it? i think organic is the best way to do it but its more expensive and it will take much longer or not?

 

[Movementking]

so botting at least with jarvee isnt really working good. growth is slow and if u are setting it up ro get a faster growth u will get banned. which organic method is possible `?

Instagram is smart and it gets smarter every day.

If you bot, you WILL GET CAUGHT. It is just a matter of time. It is part of your risk management plan and you must factor the COST of getting caught in your business plan.

Remember, they never forget what ANYONE does. All the successes and screwups of every marketer are remembered FOREVER. They can deep data mine for years. They will find out if you scam them.

Organic growth is the only way to go.

So create a brand, have a website, give away a free toy and capture the customer's email address

And ALWAYS at least have an Amazon store with interesting stuff you cherry pick so that maybe they will click and if they buy anything for 24 hours, get get paid.

Then they are YOUR customer and you can sell to them until you piss them off

Provide value. A coupon. A PLR book. A free report. A cheat sheet

Always answer the question "Why am I doing this?"

Your monitization plan is #1

Think like a project manager. Start with the GOAL and work backwards

Sincerely,

It's now a very cliche thing in the industry, but from my experience Content will always be King. You need great content to go viral, to have your posts saved, to have your posts shared, for people to like and comment on your posts.

To go along with it being a quality picture, I think the caption has to provide value as well, and have a CTA or two.

Don't forget to optimize your IG profile and bio to give yourself the best chance to convert your traffic into followers

If your social following is strong on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, you can direct your fans from these channels to your Instagram profile. Use Instagram Ads as well.

Here is the things you can do to succeed on Instagram :
- Find a niche, if possible, always works better
- CONTENT, create valuable, unique content, and above all, create a story and some values, most of the time people will hook on a story or values, not on simple images
- Post a lot of insta stories, it will reinforce the link between you and your community
- Bot, slowly and the more targeted as possible, to gain visibility and followers (my favorite is Jarvee)
- 2 or 3 times a year, do some giveaways and contests
- Create some partnerships with people in your field and share visibility
- Send DM's (no spammy dm's, be creative and find an interesting way to start a discussion with people)
- Buy some ads, or sponsor some posts, get some metrics from a tool like socialbaker and sponsor the most valuable post

This is my personal experience, hope it will help i own a digital agency (8 years old) and i had the time to try a lot of different things

How effective are insta ads in your experience?

- Quality/Viral Content
- Hashtag Research
- Shoutouts
- Paid Ads (story ads, user URL in swipe up)
- Engagement Groups
- Gary V 1.8$ method
- Engage with your audience and other people by leaving relevant comments and liking

These are more automation based
- Follow/Unfollow
- Engagement Pods
- Panels (to rank in hashtags and push Explore)
- Mass story view


I am writing this on the go so I might have missed something.

Great reply!
I would only add to properly take advantage of hashtags. This will get you some new followers if done right. Then make sure your account has good engagement rate. These two things will create a cycle that gets you new people from your targeted audience.
Both things depend on your content and interactions with followers. You can find plenty of useful information on this topic here, you just have to look at the right places.

If you are starting from CERO and you don't trick the system, it wont matter how good or unique is your content, you'll have a hard time to catch some good traction.
Bot automation with fan pages is the best way to go if you want your page to get noticed by real users.
Other than doing this is pure bs (including ads).

Why pure bs lol

Ads work well but they are More expensive than say F/UF.
Thats the downsides of doing it 100% according to the rules.

I've seen so many GOOD accounts with really good content that after 2-3 years didn't got over 1-2k followers.
Unless you get above the 10k followers mark your account will have no traction and you'll stay in the invisible side.
On my experience promoting the account by fan pages does a better job than ads. People gets annoyed by ads.
Engagement groups works fine for growth, but don't expect to find buyers of your products or services among them.
People pay good dough for botting fan pages, there must be a reason.

I wouldn't be so radical about it, if the only thing you want is followers then a bot can often do a cheaper and better job than an ad, but if you want to increase your sales (if you sell products for example) ads, giveaways or influencers can work perfectly fine, also many brands will be against the use of bots, following/unfollowing etc. could damage your brand image.

Currently using Masslooking method, it depends if you wanna grow an old, "well reputated" by instagram acc, you will not get banned with masslooking, tested on 5 accounts, any new account will get banned in first days, my old personal account is still alive after 1 month and it's growing very well

You might have been lucky cause many people reported their accounts to be banned and, personally i had 3 accounts banned aswell from mass viewing stories. I'm still running the service on some of mine accounts to see if it was bad luck or whatever but since yesterday seems like instagram has made a new update because followers are not coming in as last week

Story views are a pretty good source of followback, but imo it's better to mix it with the classical strategies like F/U and liking

I'm using russian masslooking service, i think it even depends on what service you are using, and what algorithms it using as well

 

[trane8881]

Sory views are a pretty good source of followback, but imo it's better to mix it with the classical strategies like F/U and liking

No man, don't mix it, you will get banned very soon, use one and tested service, if you will mix it will be only worst
