Instagram journey to 100k

[csavvy]

Okay so I started this journey about 2 week ago from today. Right now I have 3 accounts but we're gonna be talking about my main one for this journey. The niche is irrelevant so don't ask because there is no reason to share, right? But nevertheless it is an already populated one. Here are my stats as of today: 2500 followers, following 85
The first week was slow but this second week has really sped things up. 2 days ago I gained a little over 500 followers. The day after (yesterday), I gained about 250. Today I've already gained 300 and there's still 4 hours left in the day. I have used no bot whatsoever. I have my own technique and it's been working so far. im getting at least 200 likes a picture with most at 300 and some in the high 500's.

my questions are:
1. How are my numbers so far? Am I doing good, average, great or bad?
2. Why do you think I went from 500 followers to 250 back up to 300?
3. When should I begin monetization? How should I go about monetizing?

thanks I'm gonna keep this thread as updated as possible

A week ago I tried starting an instagram account then after a couple days I was asked to verify the account by phone.
No matter what phone number I input, I NEVER get a text message with the code.

So basically I cannot use instagram anymore, after only 2 days.

3200 followers, following 65

Im expecting to be up to at least 3300 by midnight which will put me at +300 for the day. I haven't worked too much today either. Was busy until about 6. Anyways Im trying to hit 4000 by thursday.

300+ per day is quite good at your level. Wish you all the best with your journey!

Thanks! Im pretty steady at 300 a day which is a good sign. IM definitely on track to hit 4k by thursday. One question though, Ive had about 4 pictures deleted by instagram. The thing is I never know which picture it is. Should I be worried or do they usually do this?

This has never really happened to me. Is it explicit content that you post?

Not really. No nude or pornography and I read the TOS to make sure I'm not breaking any rules.
