Thanks! I got 300-400 followers per day because I was mass following 1,000 per day, not 100-200. 50/day is quite good if you're only following 100-200. If you do it that way, it'll take longer, but it is much safer and will keep the bans away. :)
 
I would believe this if your account is hot women or something and you're following straight men using certain criteria. I follow more than that and get way less followbacks so I'm skeptical you are getting 400 follows per day with most niches, unless you have figured out a way to really hone in your targeting.

I literally just follow the followers of other popular accounts in my niche. I guess my strategy is to stay away from the biggest accounts because I feel like a lot of their followers are spammy. For example, if I had a nature/travel account, I probably wouldn't target @earthpix's followers. I'd look for a smaller but still active account. But yeah, I'm not doing anything else that I haven't mentioned on this thread! :)
 
is all a numbers game, why are you bothering with a single account?

I don't have the energy or time to manage multiple account at the moment. Maybe later on, once college simmers down, once I purchase FollowLiker, etc. I'm too busy with life to deal with a bunch of accounts. I also think that one quality account that has all my attention will succeed more than a bunch of small accounts that are 100% botted and neglected.
 

UPDATE!


Hi everyone! I wanted to post this last night, but I partied a little too hard. :p Yesterday was one of the most important days for my account. No, I didn't gain a massive amount of followers or anything. BUT, I gained about 80-90 followers that I didn't mass follow. This is extremely uplifting to me and makes me eager to continue! This is the first time that I've gained such a large amount of followers that I'm not following.

I don't know how people are finding my account yet, as I'm still sitting at only 2,488 followers total. And I've stopped commenting a block of hashtags on each picture! Maybe I just got lucky yesterday, but I'm hoping that this will continue and then grow exponentially. :) If this does continue, however, I might think about slowing down on the mass following to keep my account safe. I'm so excited!!!

That's all for now. Until next time,

Farcast

Thank you! Honestly, I just picked a niche that I am somewhat interested in. It's pretty saturated, though. As far as content, most accounts just repost pictures. It's better to have original pictures if you can, but it's really not common. :)
 

Update 1/21/16!

After what seemed like the longest week (as far as waiting for my Instagram follow block to expire), I am finally free to mass follow/unfollow once again! That being said, I will take it more slowly and only follow around 200-400 per day. I'd like to avoid another block for as long as possible.

This past week has been pretty lowkey, as I've just been uploading about three pictures a day. Each picture is getting anywhere from 150 to 250 likes on average. I'm not too worried about this because I know that a lot of my followers might be spam/bot accounts. Once I grow more organically, I'll start to pay more attention to the amount of likes I get. I'm also getting a few comments on some of the pictures, which is really good! And a lot of them are people tagging their friends! But yes, I'm also still getting quite a few of the spammy "Awesome pic" "Cool!" "Nice"..

I've followed ~100 people so far today, and I'll continue to do so throughout the day.

326 mostly organic followers within a week, and my account is very new. I'm both surprised and happy with this number for now. I'm still contemplating purchasing FollowLiker! I'll be able to control and specifically target the the people I follow. And I could also launch more accounts. Hmm.. I don't know if I'm ready to drop $100 on it quite yet.

That's all for now. Until next time,

Farcast :)

Update 1/24/16!

Oops forgot to post an update last night. I don't think I followed anyone last night, but I still gained a bunch from the last time I mass followed as well as a lot that were organic.

What are you doing exactly? Are you searching for a huge account in your niche and you follow all that followers or are you doing it different?
 
where to get social bots

Where not to get them? Try and be more eloquent :) Punctuation, sentences and common logic is your friend.

Farcast - all the best! Have you considered how to make this scalable?

Following larger accounts' followers, yes.

Look around. :)

Thanks! Right now, this is purely a little project on this side. I'm not looking to create an Instagram empire just yet haha. Maybe once things in my life simmer down, I'll create more accounts! :)
