just wanted to clarify, you're commenting with nothing but @main comments, with no regular comments mixed in between?
Every comment has @main in it.

I'm getting setup to do this with Instagress and at least 10 accounts. Thanks Mladz, you've laid out some really clear steps on your strategy.
One more question for you, is there anyway to keep from commenting more than once on the same user? Instagress has a feature for this, but it's only within the account. Theoretically, if you're targeting the same tag across 10 accounts, then you're bound to make similar at-main on the same user but with different accounts. It would be ideal to limit how many times you hit a user with an at-main comment. Do you target different niche tags for each account to help minimalize this?
I got temp banned from commenting, my settings was 1 unique @mention every 20 minutes. I got banned while making the 2nd comment after 20 minutes from the first one WTF? That's only 72 comments a day
Just a question mladz, you're growing soooo much, but you're not making a lot of money, enough to pay Instagress and a bit more, do you have a plan to start making money out of your quite big account and when do you plan to put it in action?
GENIUS!
Do we need to get proxies as well, or does instagress have that aspect covered?
Hey Mladz, do you have skype or something similiar? I don't think I can PM just quite yet, but I am interested in trying your method out.
1000 comments up but only 50 followers... looks like i gotta tweak my comments
Well, this is golden, big kudos to Mladz.
Just started Instagram a week or so ago, was familiar with the app as I used it for its fancy effect on pics but never posted them on Instagram, just on FB. Now I'm on a road trip in East Europe with the gf and I have a HUGE archive of pics that I'd love to share with as much audience as possible, and nothing beats Instagram for pics exposure
I don't really care for monetizing as I'm already making a good living through YT, I just want to grow an audience fast, and the method suggested by Mladz seems really solid. I already have my main account in Instagress and got a good grasp of its main features, I just have one question, where do I set the schedule for every 2nd hr commenting? It's "Timer" under the Auto-Stop section? 'cause reading the instructions it seems it just stops the actions altogether after a definite amount of time without automatically restarting them
Its a little calendar thing near the top around where you pick what actions you want to do. From there you can schedule the weeks activity
Thanks for sharing this method. I will try it out and let you know how it goes.
[Personally]
On my personal account, if I user I don't know mentions me on a post belonging to another user and neither account [nor the photo] is related to my primary interest area I will:
- report the comment as spam
- report the photo they're posting on as spam
- report the account mentioning me as spam
- report the account posting the photo as spam
- if there's comments on the post from other users complaining about having been spammed, I will contact them tell them to delete the comment [b/c no one is going to see it anyway and they've only added to the legitimacy of the accounts by commenting, mentioning back etc] and give them instructions on how to report the photo, comment & both accounts as spam
THE ONLY follow-back you will receive is from OTHER spam-bot. If you're seeing very high follow-back, the accounts your spamming are other spam accounts reciprocating your spam to get a follow/like from your bot. REAL PEOPLE DO NOT respond to spam. It's very easy for real people to identify and they DO NOT LIKE IT.
Your issue here isn't IG limits or any IG algorithm - the accountwill be shut down once it receives a certain number of flags [I don't know if IG automates this or if a human 'validates' the reports] but you'll be flagged by real people as spam - drawing the attention of IG one way or another.
If you are 'flying under the radar' of IG's algorithms for commenting with mentions - it's a VERY CLEAR indicator you have not reached any actual real people. People have a zero tolerance for spam. People aren't stupid [only the bots other people created are dumb enough to 'reward' you for spamming them].
