Instagram Journey to $100K

I have had a few email accounts get shut down/disabled. How did you "opt to create a new gmail account to replace them." If Gmail accounts that I have are currently disabled how do I opt to create a new one?

To connect the new gmail account to the old instagram account do i simply go into the profile of the instagram account and change the email, then verify with the new email? Or do you have a different process.

As long as your Instagram account is active, you can update the email address. Do it manually on your iphone, through the browser on chrome/firefox, or through MassPlanner. Then IG will send the new email address a verification. Double check all your accts have active and correct email addresses, otherwise will be screwed during your next verification.

I would like to ask you some questions and hope that you could answer them.
1. I remember when I used to ran about 5 accts, I was using just one gmail address but changed the name by adding numbers (like xxxx+1(at)gmail.com, xxxx+2(at)gmail.com). Do you thinks it is safe to have around 5 accounts per 1 email like that? But why do this? If your IG accounts are soccer123, basketball123, hotgirls123, get the emails similar to account name and track it on an excel spreadsheet. I think similar emails will eventually get caught and banned.

2. Where did you buy your proxies? Recently I've seen people getting their accounts permanently banned because of the bad proxies. SSLProxies... they're in the BHW marketplace

3. Do you recommend using MP over FL? Or it is better to have both of them? Depends... With only a few accounts (5), I think FL is much cheaper. I outgrew FL and primarily do MassPlanner with 104 accounts.

4. Where did you buy your burner numbers from? Theres a ton of iphone apps in the appstore. Costs about $1.99 per number. Each burner can only be used for 2-3 accounts forever before its blacklisted. I spent about $20 last month for 10 burners for 25 accounts needing PVA's again.

5. What kind of VPS did you choose on GreenCloud? SEO optimized? I think its the budget usa one. not the cheapest one though, middle.
Sorry if these questions have already been asked.

Great success so far, must be tough to manage all those accounts

Yes, biggest pain in the ass. Automation requires constant vigilance. 104 accounts take about 15 hours a week of nudging, tweaking, updating proxies, PVA's, Email verification, error-fixing,....random errors come up all the time! Example: IG released a new verification screen a few days ago, asking me if I want to verify by email or SMS. MassPlanner automation didn't recognize this, and my account was stuck for days "initializing". Lots of back and forth with MP support. They thought maybe my account was banned, or proxy was banned... until I finally logged on manually on iPhone and figured it out. Every glitch can take 1-20 hours to resolve. I wish it was possible to outsource this, but that is too expensive to get quality help worth trusting.

Thank you very much for you response, I appreciate that you take your time to help people who follow you.

I found the proxy supplier you were referring to, but 50 IG proxies cost around 170$ there. Did you buy "Instagram" proxies from them or just "privite" ones (they are almost twice cheaper)?

 

[madblackhatter1000]

Instagram virgin proxies. They're expensive. I use the 50-proxy bundle. They have promotions all the time. I think I got it for 25% off?

Hi sir, about Pinterest and SEO, my website have about 176k total links and I didn't have so much traffic from Google. Pinterest is really great source for any website if you use it right. But you have to be very careful, they find spammers really fast and can blocked your account or website for any moment. Good luck and keep going! Keep us updated.

I will have all accts unfollowing the next 3 weeks, so expect to lose 15,000-20,000. So far Zero accounts banned since I started this journey. It's slow, and I'm not trying to test the limits too much. My next goal is to have a monetizing system in place by next month.

True, I have a legit Pinterest acct. not business, no spams, just some cool stuff I pinned for myself, and its been suspended twice last week for "spammy" pins. I appealed twice and succeeded. They apologized saying their bot is extremely sensitive.

Thanks to your thread I finally decided to take some actions.
I was wondering about how to scale it up without adding extra cost. And I was thinking about buying 100 twitter accounts (one per each instagram page), botting on them and making auto repost from instagram accounts through IFTTT.

The only question I have is, will I be able to operate them on the same proxies that I use for instagram?
If yes, then it is a no brainer, since you don't pay much extra, but have that extra social presence.

What do you think about it? Have you tried it?

Good luck mate,
Please again remember your targeted amount! and again start your journey. I think your steps are not not enough to earn more. You needed more followers and more accounts.
Mate, Please don't mind. I'm also an internet marketing specialist and doing these job since 2010. Already completed more goals and still running my business. I also invested more for my business and earned more but I didn't get energy to estimate such goal!!! You did that, so these will be mostly informative post for me. Must I'll check these thread again and again. I'm so much curious about your journey. Please keep update in a continuous way.
Wish your good day.

They're different companies and don't share private information like that with each other. It should be 100% ok. I'm running 2-3 IG's and 2 Pinterest on 1 proxy. The only ones I would worry about are IG and Facebook since they are the same company, as well as Youtube and Google+, the rest are independent.

Ya, their (Pinterest) algorithms some strange it's good you can return your account. Wish you good luck growing up IG with you. Keep going!

Well, I guess even if it is IG and Facebook, if you somehow manage to keep your botting under the radar, there is nothing suspicious in having a IG+Facebook account (even if it is 2 Facebook and 2 IG, since there can be even more accounts in one household).

Btw, regarding staying under radar, do you use a nightmode in MP? If yes, then is it a global night mode or you make custom settings for each account?

 

[madblackhatter1000]

405,000 Followers, and have to unfollow 500,000 followings across 104 accts. Will take about 15 days.

I switched 1 acct from Fitness niche to a beauty products niche, only lost 100 followers over the last 2 weeks. Posted about 35 photos so far.Not bad for a switch. I may do some more niche swapping later as I get more time.

Good Question. I chose to make all accounts individually run for 24 hours 12:01am - 11:59pm. But I have a global night mode from 11:30ish - 4:30ish... The global night mode gives the ability to make 1 tiny change to effect everybody, so I can make my accts go to sleep early at 7pm, or wake up late at 9am with only 20 seconds of changes. I try to change this every few days or weekly

 

[Snook55]

Im also running 100 account but in a different niche...

When using the global night mode, do you change the times every few days so that the accounts "go to sleep" at different times?

Also does each account "go to sleep" at the same time when global night mode is on or are they varied? I have my accounts all posting random pictures all at random times so im guessing that no matter what global night mode makes them look natural across all accounts.

What do you mean by the 20 seconds of change?

How many pictures are you posting per day on each account? still only 2?

are you using spun text for each caption?

are all captions based off the same spun text?

and would you mind updating us on all your settings? follow, like, unfollow? and are you changing them every 3 days like you were a month or so ago.

Thanks so much for keeping this up to date and thanks in advance for the advice.

Just edited 50 of my new accounts, but when I try to add another 50 but using same proxies (so that each proxy has 2 accounts) every one of them asks for a phone validation. is it normal?

Update: Well, did over 40 phone verifications, hope that it was a one-time thing.

Have another question: When I make a destination list with 6 accounts, how should I configure it so that it posts unique image on each account? Because last time when I tried to do it, it just posted 1 same image on every account.

well you have to spend money to make money

1) the phone verification is weird... how did you make those accounts?

2) Make all accounts post different photos:

using a standard campaign > advanced settings >Check the box for "when publishing send one post for each destination. > in post tab in campaign check the box that says "re-add published posts to bottom" this way all account will eventually get all photos> in when to publish tab change the delay to wait around 300 seconds to that MP is posting to all accounts at the same time.

Hope that helps!

Credit to cypher from MP support for this one, I had no clue how to do this either.

If you have more questions like this ill be happy to help but join the Facebook MP support group... they are EXTREMELY HELPFUL and its run by the support team.

really nice , i'm following too

Well, after managing 100 accounts for 3 days straight, I can say that this is the most boring job I ever had... but let's hope this is the most rewarding one

1) the phone verification is weird... how did you make those accounts?

I ordered them from the same supplier that OP did. The first 50 account were okay, but once I started re-using the same proxies for another 50 accounts, almost each of them got phone verification. I bought around 20 burner numbers to deal with it.

Thank you very much. I was using a volume campaign for a few days, but I will definitely try your method.


I am still just figuring everything out, but I realized that I had to do everything a bit slower, probably roll up 20 new accounts every week or so. Setting up 100 accounts right away is a pain in the ass, especially when you work full-time.

 

[bl1nx]

Could you tell me where did you find your IG, accounts , im trying as well to buy some.

Thanks.
