I really don't know but let's see :) I have some future plans which i will be sharing in the thread soon.
 
Lot's of people asked me over the course of the journey what to do against quitting. Regarding this I would highly suggest everyone who has difficulties keeping track on projects to watch this inspirational video from Casey Neistat.

Thanks for your comment, good luck on your journey as well! I will be following you on it as well! :-D
 
I've been following your progress, keep going bro.

I was wondering, how do you set up the price for a shout-out?

Do you know how much traffic someone will receive by getting 1 hour long shout-out? Did you track the first shout-out?

Thanks, I always let my customers decide over the price like a "what you want to pay" price because these tend to be much higher, than if I select the price. Regarding your question. I can not really project how much attention a shoutout will receive as this really depends on the niche of the person / company I shouthout. However, I track my shoutouts so I know how much traffic can be achieved by for exmaple mentioning an App name in the description.
 
I really don't know anything about Instagram but I've been interested in getting started with it lately. I want to build my own following though, and not just buy an account. I know it takes time but I'm still researching ways to do this.

This was a very fascinating thread to read. I'll be following your progress. I wish you luck; you seem to be going in the right direction.
 
Day 5

Today was again a very good day. My VPS is up and running again to its full potential. However, I am thinking of ordering a VPS from another company next month, as this one seems pretty unstable and not reliable. In case the VPS goes into recovery mode again without me doing anything I will directly switch the VPS company. Both stats are becoming better and better and even so I am posting shoutouts the engagement is not decreasing.

The statistics can much better be compared when FollowLiker is as well running again. Surprisingly the account which I operate with growmyinsta is receiving more follow than Followliker even so the follow rate I proceed is much lower. However, I am using comments in growmyinsta and not in Followliker. But I have to say that I am very satisfied with the growth of both accounts so far. Today I did a pretty significant step which is that everything I will post on the Luxury account will be personal from myself. My Followers seem to like these type of pictures much more.

Earnings:

Today I talked again to the Hotel which would like to be shoutouted. However, they will not be paying with real money because they would have difficulties doing so. Instead, they offered me 3 nights at their Hotel for free (total cost would be above 700€). They will be sending me a voucher tomorrow which will enable their promotional campaign. Even so I am not getting real money for the work I made a pretty good deal as I stead in the Hotel couple of times and so know what I will be expecting.

Day 6

Today there were some up and downs again. My VPS went into recovery mode again after working only for around 2 hours today which made me pretty angry. Therefore, I decided to look for a new VPS company. If there is anyone who can suggest me one please just mention them in the comments. I will now be using FollowLiker on my Mac with Parallels. it's not the best decision, but I don't want to spend additional funds on another VPS which is not reliable. However, I just noticed that Followliker can only work on one PC, therefore I need to contact the support. A good thing was today that I received the voucher for the free hotel accommodation which I will be using soon when I am back in the uk.

Despite the fact that the account which is running on growmyinsta is growing more I know have the stats which would be achieved without any influence of any software for my Luxury niche account. Posted 2 images over the course of yesterday and received 3.9K and 3.2K

Earnings:

Today I did a shoutout for a football game which is available on PC, engagement was lower than expected but I received $30 for the post and it wouldn't be permanent. However, I guess the engagement was low because the ad I got send was not very well designed.

Nice, you're starting to see some income right away and that's really important.

How do you search for clients or they coming to you?

If they are the ones reaching, do they know you give shoutouts somehow or just asking if you do?

Was wondering how all the process works.
 
You could sell that voucher and instantly earn your investment back. Also, do u know where is reliable to buy big ig's, like yours?

Mostly clients come to me because I left my email address in the description. However, I am also looking for clients myself. I am constantly messaging profiles which are weak and should have more followers. In my case, the shouthout for the Hotel was total luck. If you leave your email address in the describtion you can be sure than you will get requests for shoutouts.

I sadly can't sell the voucher as it can only be used by myself as it is only usable with my id. I bought them from a friend so I don't really know any other people who are selling reliable IG accounts. I don't know if there is someone available in the Marketplace. I would however advise you only to buy from buyers you have a good reputation and who you trust.
 
Day 7

Today I have been looking for another VPS service and found a few on the BHW Marketplace which I will be checking ou soon. In case anyone can recommend one please contact me more just post a good one in the comments. Because of the lack of a functional VPS I have been running FollowLiker on my Mac today. I let it run for about 10 hours and luckily this way the follows and likes and increasing again.

I am currently very satisfied with the statistics. Today I contacted growmyinsta himself to see if any adjustments could be made to increase the likes and follows. Let's see how much the stats can be boosted by a professional.

Earnings:

I sadly did not receive a single offer today but instead I contacted a lot of regional (luxury) companies in my area which I would like to sell shoutouts to.
