500$ before 2026 or shave my head

[Bhavapriyan]

Hey all,

Some of you might have seen me in my previous threads, but for those who haven’t, here’s my situation.
I started doing AI model content. I had around $1,000 saved and I used all of it to buy a PC so I could create AI models using Comfy. At that time, I thought AI would scale well, but after I started working on it, my Instagram page got no reach. I tried marketing it still no results. Eventually, I let it go.

Then I moved to a new model and created a Fanvue page. I was able to make very realistic images using Imagen 2 much better than Comfy. That’s when I felt like the $1K was kind of wasted. But with the new model, I actually managed to scale my Instagram account really well and gained a fully USA audience.
But on Fanvue, I only got one subscriber, and the mistake I made was not changing my subscription rate it was way too high. Because of that, I barely got subs. Then the Instagram account got suspended. I couldn’t even appeal properly because they asked for a real model photo, and since it was AI, I couldn’t provide anything. So I stopped doing the AI stuff after that.
Later, I met a few guys on Telegram who manage real models. They’re legit. They gave me access to a real model’s content via Google Drive and told me I can market her. If I ever need specific content, the model will create it. The only condition is a 40% revenue split based on whatever I earn.
So I started a new Instagram and used the same method that worked before. It actually got good traction—but the next day the account got suspended again. That’s when I realized Instagram had flagged my IP. So I bought an Android phone (can’t afford an iPhone right now), got a new SIM, created a fresh IG account, and started posting again. This time the growth is small but steady.

Right now, I’ve created multiple IG accounts I think around 5 in total.
Now I want to share my plan and see if it’s a good strategy. If it’s not, please guide me. I’d really appreciate any advice because I’m tired of being broke and I want to finally make something work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Instagram (5 accounts – posting 2 reels per day each)​

(link added after reaching 1K or 5K followers)

Account 1: Girl pampering/comforting the audience with soft whispering dialogues.
Account 2: Completing weird challenges suggested by commenters.
Account 3: AI girl in luxury locations, brushing her hair, showcasing lifestyle aesthetics.
Account 4: Pampering/comforting content again, but in French dialogues.
Account 5: Face-swap content.

• Question: Should I add a Telegram link directly, or a Linkme/Linktree where both TG + OF are included?

Doubt:

• How do I find good videos for face-swapping?
• Should I post the face-swap directly, or do I need to edit/filter it in a certain way so it doesn’t get detected?

2. Bluesky​

• Creating 5 Bluesky accounts with anti-detect measures.
• Using a bot to follow ~30 users per day on each account.
• Adding link in bio on day 1 (assuming Bluesky isn’t too strict, correct me if I’m wrong).

3. X (Twitter)​

• Creating new accounts and warming them up properly by interacting with content first before posting anything promotional.

4. Tumblr​

• Still learning the platform.
• Created an account and posted an image with relevant tags but received no views.
• Need to research more — I heard GIFs perform better.
• Joined some communities and got a few likes from posting there.
• If anyone has Tumblr experience, please share advice.

Funnel​

My goal is to direct my audience primarily to Telegram, and from there move them to OnlyFans.
This way, even if an IG or other platform gets banned, I can still retain my subscribers on Telegram.

Closing​

This is my plan so far. I’ll continue brainstorming more ideas.
If I am doing anything wrong or if there’s a smarter way to execute this, if im doing anything wrong correct me guys, i should save my hair

Your plan is overly complex for one person. Focus on 1-2 IG accounts and master one platform before scaling. For face-swap, use quality source videos and heavy editing to avoid detection. Use a Linktree, not a direct Telegram link. Bluesky/X/Tumblr will dilute your effort; put that energy into making your top IG account unban-proof with better warm-up and content variation. Retaining subscribers on Telegram is smart, but building them is the hard part. Simplify, execute, then expand.

verified accounts makes the difference, (Images with some interesting captions, or some flashy forwarded video in couple of seconds then text then the video that holds the views for some time which tricks the algorithm(you have real content so it should be easier if you find just a few real versions of virals), you can also try to figure out people who are ok for retweet for retweets kind of thing from burner accounts use them on verified accounts, grab a few accounts old with large followers use them to approach for such kind of deals with decent followers) combining those things will definitely push.

Use your competitor analysis method. Find 5-10 successful face-swap accounts. The "best performing reel" is one that combines their most-used style (e.g., smooth transitions, popular celebrity) with a trending audio track. Use Instagram's search/explore to find these top videos, don't just guess.

You won't make money by registereing multiple accounts. The platforms only want you to have one legit account. There isn't a magic formula for the amount of accounts == amount of money. So i don't understand why you are doubling down on account creation, when your problem is content creation, and time spent marketing?

If you register multiple accounts on platforms, and spam, you'll just get banned.

I doubt you'll make this money, and I doubt you'll shave your head. lol

Good luck on your journey. Do you use any automation tools for Instagram?

 

[Starblazer]

You are focusing on too many things at once. As you have experience in IG, it's better to consistently grow one legit account with a backup account and drive followers to link tree. You should apply strategies that are working for your competitors.

Use a link hub for telegram OF. Edit face swap videos slightly to avoid detection stability beats quantity once your setups safe, growth compounds.
