Account 2 still has the best engagement by far, with well over 10% per post. Account 1 still sucks. I also see way more natural growth with Account 2, with new followers that I am not following. Account 1 does not get that. Looking at the hash tags for my niche in account 1, I should be doing better, so I am thinking that my content might suck :)

Keep moving forward!
 
Made a small change to Account 1 today. I now follow users that are following other online shops within my niche. I think that they might be able to convert a bit better. Account 2 & 3 stays as is, as their engagement seems to be fine.

Account 1 has more than 1400 followers, and I have not yet had one photo with 100 likes, so something is up
 
Account 1: 1507 (4117)
Account 2: 350 (1039)
Account 3: 527 (1636)
Account 4: 12 (10)

Created a new account, no botting on this one (yet), more a play account to test a new niche.

Sales to date: 1
 
for auto follow and auto unfollow what kind of software or website that you use ?

Account 1 is now unfollowing. I am having 2nd thoughts about my Niche on account 1. I just cannot get any traction. While scouring Reddit I also find that the Niche is very limited. Maybe it's time to Pivot account 1 into a new niche. The name could allow for it. What do you guys think?
 
Good luck with your journey my friend, Subbed this journey. Keep us updated.
I would recommend you to ask a mod to move this to journey section.
 
Hi All,

So today was a weird, wonderful, sad and awesome day all together.

After spending most of my day doing research on my niche of account 1, I sort of realised that the niche is not one that people will buy from, it's simply too vast and if you do some keyword research on it, the audience is simply not shoppers, or not for the products that I am pushing.

If you look at the stats above, I was already generating some decent traffic to the site, but the sales did not happen, and the bounce rate is simply too high. Also when I started digging deeper, I realised that the competition was MASSIVE, with 10s of millions of sites doing what I am doing. That was the sad part, now comes the awesome part

I then went on to watch about a million youtube videos on how to choose a niche and read countless articles, and then it struck me, damn, you are doing this all wrong.

So it's with pleasure and disappointment that I am announcing the end of this journey, and the start of a new one. I have learnt a crap load in the process, and will probably be able to do it ten times better going forward.

So what now:

1. I found my niche, actually one I am VERY passionate about, and that was one of the missing incredients
2. Registered my domain, catchy even if I have to say so myself.
3. Created all my social accounts, hard to see it all on zero followers and fans
4. Closed my Shopify shop and will now create a new one. Zero Page Rank, Zero of everything
5. My designer contact is busy with my logo and other creative materials.
6. Since all accounts are brand new, I will give them some time to settle, and will not do any botting right away.
7. I will leave my bots running on the other accounts, at least to get the followings back to zero. The new niche will have little to gain from the other 4 accounts I created, so I will just let them be when the followings are back to zero.

I will post the link to the new journey once I have everything setup, and thanks so much for every single comment and post on this thread, I really appreciate it very much.

I am excited AF, and can't wait to get going. Wish me luck.
 
nice journey ... really honest ...follow here. good luck
 
I will try this too. I currently own a 14k instagram account.
