AMA: Making Passive Income on Instagram

[eshelt]

Okay, cool...so my questions off the bat are:

What is it that you disclose when speaking with clients?
I have personally told them that it's an automatic Instagram Optimization Service that likes, comments, follows, and unfollows...but never the software I use.

For the clients that do not wish to follow/unfollow, do you simply like for them, what do you say to ensure their growth?

Do you use your own account or their already existing one?
I have been personally been using each client's already existing account.
In the situation, they already have an account, do you tell them you only work with your own accounts?

Do you allow people to choose their hashtags, niches, and targets to work with or are all things confirmed by you?

Lastly, do you offer different packages and rates, dependent on (IE: activity speed, amount of keywords and tags...) or just a standard fixed price?

Will be keeping in close contact with this thread as this is my first attempt in IM that has made me some profit, appreciate the help!

- I generally disclose how the software works 100%. Either they are comfortable with it or they arent. No reason to hard sell them on something they dont want.

- I only do liking for all my clients as the follow / unfollow is tough to target regional people. If you can find some big local accounts then follow / unfollow might work.

- Normally I choose their settings for them and ask them if they have any specific competitors or citys they need included in the targeting settings.

- Most of the time I use their own accounts as long as its aged and has active participants. If they dont have their own account I sell them one of mine Ive built for the region.

- I covered pricing earlier in the thread but heres a better explanation. I usually only offer them one price based upon how many customers will make a purchase while using my services. So say its a gym at $250 per month membership I will price it at $500 or less so they can make more off the service than they have to pay. (3 or more new paying customers) Jewlery stores are another good niche that have great budgets for marketing. Most growth hackers will tell you a three tiered pricing package will perform better though.

Would anyone be interested in creating a slack channel for BHW?

Very good idea. Should we start one for this IG post. Share ideas/tips/etc ?

Guys, we have a software that targets only local instagram users. We made Google Maps and Instagram API working together. We can't share it now with large audiences, but I have an idea....


We were using eshelts's method a few months ago, but we stumbled upon a trouble. We're not native English speakers, so US businesses don't like our phone sellers )).


Maybe we should make a JV.


What we have
We have about 20-30 leads per day for EXACTLY the same service that we are revealing here. Local businesses that are interested in local Instagram promotion. We have a software much better than Boostgram, that particularly targets local users and never targets bots and those with inactive accounts. We are ready to give trials for 10-14 days for a better conversion, if it's needed of course.


We were selling it for 100-150$/month, and thanks to eshelts we now know that it costs much more, so we can charge 250-350/month.


So may be somebody wants to be a seller and share monhtly income from customers with us?

Congrats! Soudns promising and I would love to test it out. just a heads up Boostgram uses instagrams location targeting and google maps targeting with their API's also so I would love to hear the methodologies you are using to make it better.

So I'm looking at boostgrams site- you can run multiple accounts on it from your phone without having to worry about proxies? Is this correct? If that's the case then it's wayyyy easier to use then FL. I'm not seeing the price anywhere- is it comparable to FL?

OP did mention he pays $49 a month for Boostgram. However, seems the price is based on amount of accounts you will use with them.

Yes this is correct.

I just messaged them expressing interest in a discount if I add a bunch of accounts and the support made my account cheaper because I have 11 accounts running.

Do you create the content for them? and what do you tell them if you happen to be banned? ;-) "oh, managed service failed?" most companies won't accept the fact you are violating Instagram's TOS.

No and if they know this upfront, they will not want to work with you either.

 

[envisioned]

yeah, sure, but the question was if you get banned they'll literally now why 'cause IG always displays what you got banned for. I mean, if you're doing things right the probability of getting banned is almost zero, but it's always there and it can happen.

Never had an account banned but I will let you all know when I do!

This thread is a hidden bootsgram advertisement, didn't you get it?

 

[ClownBaby]

Awesome! Would love to pick your brain a little just for my own personal instagram.

 

[rice161]

when you make these calls do you talk off of a script?

 

[jonnhy]

- Buy pva account
- Rename es. TATTOO XXXX ( XXXX => city)
- Raise them with themed pictures ( eg . Tattoo for resale to the tattoo studio )
- Localize the growth with hashtag city
- To charge customers in order to have the management of the account and not the sale ( considered illegal ) . then the account would always be mine.
I would like to figure out how to not break the tos of instagram, it might be an idea ?

auto commenting will get your accounts banned and flagged for re-auths

I messaged the boostgram team about bulk pricing and they made my account $49 per account.
