Account 1 and 3 are now unfollowing, as for accounts 7, 15, 19 and 22, I've ran out of pictures to scrape users off, so I've updated it now and started following a bunch of people again, which means the results will be better in the next few days :)

Sorry if you've already answered this but are all your accounts niche related?
Click to expand...
Sure they are. Currently all of my accounts belong to a different niche and I will expand myself even to more niches as the time passes.
 
Good luck OP:). I bought FL single licence few days ago, but still learning how to use it as well.
I have few questions:
1. Where to sell shoutouts and how many followers should have the account/s for that?
2. Where to find other S4S account owners?
3. In case if i want to create 10 accounts from my phone with 10 different sim cards the IP during account creation will be the same (my owm phone IP). I dont know if it will be problem, because i know from my pinterest expirience, that pinterest tracking sign upIP, user agent and mac address (not sure for mac).
Thank you and sorry for bad english:)

1. Anywhere you want, it's your choice. In your bio on profile, on Fiverr, make your own site, or join an existing etc.
2. You can find them on Instagram, many people have contacts left, or here on BHW.
3. Too many accounts. I personally create 3 per proxy. And yes, Instagram does log your IP address, useragent, phone ID and a lot more stuff.
 
Subscribed! Good luck with your journey. I was into Instagram before they becoming more and more restricted than ever.
 
hello morning sir..

i read your post from different thread. you're saying "I follow up to 7.5k and then unfollow back to 0. I can't do both at the same time because it leads to 24h ban unfortunately."


actually i'm having trouble with 24h ban , but i'm not quite sure, because i dont get a official mail / message from IG about my activity.

i have an IG account that i create at 15 apr
from 15apr to 25 apr i follow user manually and sometimes i unfollow them, i gain around 750follower and 2k following.
at 25Apr i follow a lot of people may be 500-600 people
at 26 apr i just bought FL and i try the follow & unfollowing (i only testing the feature since i new to this apps).
but i think i better to do the unfollow task first, because my ratio is so bad.
at 26 apr i succeed to unfollow 180 people, sometimes if i find a good ig account then i follow it manually.
but at 26 apr afternoon i found myself cannot follow people. when i click follow button then it will turn blue again in a few seconds

at 27 apr i focus on following people, because i have target to gain 1500 follower. i successfully follow 442 people

from 28 apr i want to start unfollow people until my following around <500. so i start and successfully unfollow 410 people. but at night i found i can not follow people again, try with cellphone data not using wifi and the result is the same.

29 apr morning i try to follow people again and can not, but few hours later i try to follow again and it works.

i set my automation interval around 4-9 minutes. now i set it to 8-17 minutes.

my unfollow setting : unfollow after 1 days, unfollow limit 22-36, daily unfollow limit 411-489, delay unfollow 45-70
now i change my unfollow setting to delay unfollow 65-92

my follow setting : follow limit 12-20, daily follow limit 450-500, delay follow 6-25, ignore private user.

is there something wrong with the configuration ? or my configuration is not safe ?
 
pejuganas, I think your configuration is 'alright'. I can give you a few suggestions, maybe they'll help you out.

First of all, when you get banned, do not do anything on your account, let it rest, try to follow manually in 24 hours see if it works, if it does, start using FL again but try and tweak the settings a little safer this time.

Also, the follow and unfollow are called 'relationships'. Now, Instagram has a limited amount of relationships you can do per day, let's say the limit is 60 per hour. That means you can do either 30 follows and 30 unfollows or 60 unfollows. You can't do both 60 follows and unfollows. If you were doing a lot at the same day, you will get banned. I usually wait a while before swithing tasks.

As for the your configuration, my recommendation would be: lower the unfollow limit, I personally use 15-25. Increase the delay of the following, make it 20-25 see if that works out for you.

Good luck!

hi thanks mate.. i always thinking if my configuration is already 'human' enough, because if i using crowdf*re, i could rapidly unfollow people, but it still limited to 100 people for an hour.
i have a new update, i have successfully unfollow around 130 people today around 4 hour. and when i tried to follow people, i cannot follow again. but later when i get home i'll try to use my wifi to follow people. if it's true that i'm getting ban again then i think i should drop this FL for a while. and try to start unfollow people from around 20 people for an hour.

Now that you mentioned wifi, there might be another problem unfortunately. When I first started Follow Liker, same as you, I used to log in from college, home, on server etc. I noticed that when you login from multiple IPs, you will get blocked from doing tasks. So, another suggestion would be, limit yourself on IPs once your ban expires, use your home IP only to log in and do stuff, see if that helps.

Your accounts are growing pretty fast, mind sharing some methods in my inbox? ;)

Could be a lot faster to be honest, but it's a pain managing a lot of accounts. All I do is follow people right now, no likes/comments. The key to getting a lot of follow backs is finding a good target to scrape off people. I do in-depth analyse before I make an account, such as whom I am going to scrape off, where would I find photos etc.

Quite smart I do the same but for now I don't grow so much because I have no bot.

That explains it. Manually is always harder because it takes a lot of time and usually tires you, so you eventually have to stop at some point. You should consider getting a bot maybe, it will surely help you a lot. :)
