My instagram career (updated weekly)

[tonyrama]

Hi BlackHatWorld!
I'm kind of new to this forum. I've been following some threads but never really got into interacting with them.
Let me present myself. I'm 18 years old from Portugal, currently studying Computer Science.
In this thread i'll be sharing my instagram results with you. I'll update it weekly!

MY INSTAGRAM PAST

I've been doing instagram theme pages for about a year now. Got into it by watching some youtube videos and started some theme pages but none of them had success. One day I created a babes niche account and I grew it for about 3 months. It had 3k followers. Suddenly it started getting 1k-2k followers per day and I was so hyped. After two months the account had 95k followers (4k-5k average likes per post) and I was selling some shoutouts to models or other babes accounts. However, the account got banned
I created another babes account and got to 7k followers within 1 month, but guess what... got banned!

In december I started a cats account, but I wasn't serious about it. Posting 1-2 times per day and that was it. Since this quarantine started I've been taking it serious and getting great results!

MY ACCOUNTS

Currently just running one acount (cats niche).

• Followers: 3.1k
• Average followers per day: 100-150
• Average likes per post: 200-250
  
• Most liked post this week: 1.6k
• Posts per day - 3/4

I'm really happy with the followers that I'm getting per day, the accounts is organically growing. However, likes are a bit low compared to the followers. To fix this I'll try to work on posting high quality viral content.
I've gained some instagram experienced during the last couple months and I would like to get into the babes accounts again. It's an amazing niche with an extremely fast grow. I'll probably do some research on ways to run these accounts without getting banned.

MY INSTAGRAM FUTURE

I love growing instagram accounts and I want to keep doing it. I'm kind of busy sometimes but instagram never takes more than 1 hour from my day so it's fine!

My life goal is to work as a freelancer in technology, and I'm in a great path to succeeding on it. But I think that if I keep growing these instagram accounts I'll have an amazing side income in the future.

QUESTIONS

• My hashtags are not bad but I'm working on finding better ones? Any tips on that? How do I know when I've found the right ones?
• Any tips for running babes accounts without being banned? There's a couple pages with the same content as my old page and they still haven't been banned since today. Maybe setting the page to private?

Hope you liked this post! I'll be updating it weekly!

There's no secret on it. I just post daily and the followers come naturally. I try to use the best hashtags I can. In the beggining I followed about 30-40 people per day that commented on other pages on my theme, I did that until 1k followers, now it's all organic!

Great journey, hope you are able to make use of one good or a handful of accounts and not trying to mass bot like its 2016.

Focusing on a few accounts and getting consistent growth it much better than dealing with the headaches and hassles of mass growing, especially when you are just starting. Once you find a good rhythm find a way to scale if whether you outsource it or do it yourself.

As for the Adult niche with IG you need to understand that most of it is churn and burn. Big accounts hardly last especially when you are monetizing them, so you need to come out with a technique where you can grow accounts to a small level, monetize them and repeat the process easily. I get accounts disabled almost daily with adult, but at the same time I always have another ready to use. Its a cycle that takes time to accumulate accounts where you can rotate them when needed.

Best of luck mate.

How can I run 5/10 accounts at the same time? Would I need to use proxies/vpn? Or is this a small number of accounts and I just need separated devices/ SIM cards ?

I will give some hashtags tips , ur account is small so u should use a small hashatgs FROM 5K-30K posts , and use like 20-30 hashatgs in the post and make sure that the hashtags are relevant to ur post , and the average likes of the top 9 posts on the hashtag should be between 200-250 just like u . Wish u all the best

Good luck man! Take advantage of it. Instagram is becoming more difficult by the days!

Yes, you will need proxies if you want to run more (than 3) accounts.

For the babe accounts that were banned, you can try to take it back. There are people that were persistent in contacting IG and they took the accounts back. You might find here some useful links to contact IG : https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/guide-how-to-recover-a-banned-disabled-ig-account.1038677/

Good luck with your journey!

What was IG's official reason for banning the babes accounts? Was there nudity?

I run a few babes pages (100k+) and (45k), just starting to build more.

I'm not sure anyone would agree with me on this but I don't use any hashtags anymore.

With babes pages the last thing I need is someone strolling through some hashtags innocently and becoming offended by something they saw. I just post and shoutout my new pages with my bigger accounts.
Now if you don't have bigger accounts to help grow smaller ones. I still wouldn't recommend growing the pages with hashtags, you can really depend on follow/unfollow for babes pages if you have a good display picture
you will get a high follow back ratio. Just my two cents.

Hey I'll send you a PM out of curiosity and desperation... LOL

My babe 100k babe account got banned last year and I would constantly send them photos holding the numbers they said to hold in the email and get rejected over and over until i gave up.
And now just last week I tried again and got it unbanned first try. I don't get it. Seriously you just have to keep trying lol.

I've got my accounts banned for nudity so many times and just appeal to get them back. Last time they banned me it was one of 3-4 reasons that didnt have to do with nudity and that was the hardest time i had getting it back and I didnt even do what they accused me of? smh

So, I'm having a problem!
Yesterday a guy wanted to buy my account for a great amount of money.
He asked for my stats (including engagement with posts and with stories) and he immediately say he didn't want it anymore.
I realised that my engagement is too low for this type of account. Other accounts in the same niche with half my followers are getting 3x more likes than me.
I've done everything right since I created the page (posted daily and grew 100% organically). The only thing I can think about is that I've had multiple accounts on my device (20+ accounts including some that got banned) and maybe instagram doesn't like that.
My solution: create new accounts in proxies.
Problem: I never used proxies in my life and I don't know how they work. I just wanted to buy 2 proxies to manage 3-4 accounts but I don't know where to buy them and how to set them up. I've searched for some but they only last for 3 or 6 months (don't know if that's normal).
In general, I'm a bit confused with this proxy thing and I would like if you guys can help me!
Ty
Note : i've been getting 200+ new followers per day on my account but the likes are so low. don't know what's really happening

Best regards bro, good luck

Good luck man!! You could easily management 2 accounts in your phone.

How long did it take to hit the 1000 mark? Also if you don't mind can you send me your ig account over? Curious what content you were pushing ...
