Well bad news guys, for some reason it seems like my account has been disabled. Any idea on why? I mean i was following quite a lot, but it had been a few days since i had gotten a ban and then all of a sudden after not being on instagram for a few hours, i tried logging on and it said that my instagram account had been disabled because i violated their terms. Then an hour or so later, i got an email from the instagram support team saying i had to send in a picture of my face, a hand written code as well as my username and real name. This seemed kind of weird in my opinion, but i did it and i'm still waiting for a response. Anyone ever been in this similar situation. Advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Sorry to hear that man.
You're account was a brand new account and you were following/unfollowing too much. You should have slowed down after you got banned the first time. You kept pushing the limits. Start over and go slower.

Thanks for your input, do you think there's any chance that instagram will re enable my account after i've contacted them or whatnot or the chances are very slim?

Good job with your work on instagram. I plan to start a job like this as well. Can somebody tell me a nice bot that follows/unfollows and schedules posts throughout the whole day? Cheap would be nice. 
Will fake likes harm my instagram account ?

So is your account still disabled?
So quick update for everyone. I've managed to get unbanned by following instagrams procedures and verifying that I was a real human being by sending them a picture of my face as well as other required information. The account is currently at 13.8k followers! However, I don't think I will keep updating this every day. If there is a demand for it , I don't mind updating you guys once a week or what not, however I feel like you guys would prefer me to update once I actually start making sales through shoutouts. If that's the case I'll only update once I sell shoutouts. Let me know what you guys think thanks!
Update:
Haven't updated in a while because no need to... nothing was really happening but unfollow/follow.
However, i am now currently at 50k followers and just sold 3 shoutouts this week for a total of 60$! Really happy a bout this! Will keep updating more often!

Update:
Currently at 53.5k followers and just sold another shoutout for 25$ Really happy about this! I made a mistake, last week i didn't sell for 60$, but for 50... However, it's still quite good!
Total profit so far: 75$$

Great journey btw, subscribed

Thanks, appreciate it! I currently have 1 account, but looking to scale It up soon honestly. I follow around 3-4k people between Friday-sunday by doing it manually. Then, I unfollow all of these people for the rest of the week.
Update:
Currently at 67,000 followers. Sold another shoutout this week for 20$!
I expect to reach 100k in 2-3 weeks tops! Lets do it guys! Still trying to find ways to monetize even further, may try to promote clickbank products and see how it goes, will update you guys on it when i do!

Take a look at app installs for monetizing! keep us update mate. Good work!
By following specific big accounts with similar niche as my own and posting good quality pictures while trying to leave credits where I could. You just need to keep posting every day and be active. I also follow/unfollow manually so I can usually get in a lot more follows/unfollow per day than I could if I would use a bot.
Man I absolutely love this journey, I am following you and I wish you the best possible luck, just one question, where do you sell shoutouts I couldn't find any other selling platform out of fiverr, but here it really depends by reviews from customers and so on, so where did you sell those shoutouts? It would really help me out a lot, thanks in advance

Hi, Thanks for the support, appreciate it! I personally sell most of my shoutouts to random people who ask for it. I set up a good looking email address (something close to or related to your instagram name) And i also have a kik account info set up on my bio space for people to message me about shoutouts. Most people think i do free shoutouts and just send in their pictures which i sometimes use, and i explain to everyone what my shoutout service is once they email or message me. I've also had success selling shoutouts on shoutcart.com, i personally know a few people who've had success there, even smaller accounts with like 5-10k followers can sell there as long as your prices are low enough!
Getting around 2-4k likes per pictures on average! Depends on the picture of course. My highest liked picture has 13k likes!
Thanks for the kind words as well, appreciate it!

Did you ever manage to get free shoutouts, I've emailed people asking, but I always get declined. I totally understand it though because to some people this is there business. Glad to hear you are doing so well so fast and it motivates me greatly.
Great job so far man and keep it up!
