All the best mate, following for sure..

 

[QueenAshly]

Good luck with the journey! What is your niche?

 

[IMons]

Good luck man, i'll be following you.
I have 2 questions for you, can you tell us what proxy and account providers you use? and if you can give us any tips on how your accounts stay safe, i would really appreciate it.

 

[Cato Minor]

If you can send 2000 clicks and you use a OGads content locker you can easily make $150/day converting 25%-30% of that traffic (if you target tier 1 countries).
Best of luck in your journey

EDIT: Answers to questions will be in the reply following this one.

Alright, let's get this show on the road.

I've been doing some testing, and right now it's more profitable for me to add wall photos to the 60 accounts that I already have than to profile my 50 unprofiled accounts, or setup my other 90 accounts right now.

According to the numbers, quality over quantity is the name of the game for IG.

Old goal: (as of start of thread): 200 profiled accounts running at full power.

New goal: 200 profiled accounts with pictures running at full power.

Status:
5 profiled accounts with wall photos running full power
55 profiled accounts without wall photos running full power
50 unprofiled accounts without wall photos running full power
90 accounts left to set up

What I'm going to get done today:

-Add photos to my 60 accounts
-Create video-style landing page to split test against originals
-Profile 10 accounts and add wall photos to them
-Analyze follow-source split testing results

What I'm going to get done every day after:

-Profile 10 accounts and add wall photos to them
-More split testing with follow sources and landing pages

What I'm going to do every day once all 110 accounts are profiled and have photos:

-Profile 10 accounts and add wall photos to them
-Setup 10 new accounts
-Even More split testing with follow sources and landing pages

What I'm going to do once I have 200 profiled accounts with wall photos running at full power:
-Advanced split-testing, hire VA to setup more accounts
-???
-Profit

This will be success for sure. Good luck dude, I'm following your journey

Good luck.

All the best mate.

where did you get your proxies? IT will be a nice test to see how their proxies perform.

GOOD LUCK MATE!

Goodluck OP. You can do it for sure!

Good luck!
following your journey

Success on your journey ... Looking forward to your results

How come you waited till 2k clicks to realize that the network is shaving?

All the best, following!

Good luck to you.

Thanks so much guys!

@Chris.Roark I won't say exactly what my proxies, account seller, PVA source, or niche is, but I can give you some helpful tips. First, stay away from big providers (e.g. Highproxies, Buyproxies) they're the ones that Instagram targets the most when they have data on them. Instagram has blacklisted nearly all of HighProxies' main IP blocks, and now they have to sell Instagram-specific proxies that cost more to maintain and cost more to the customer. Not a good situation to be in.

Second, a lot of smaller proxy companies just resell some of the same or similar IP blocks that the bigger companies use, so don't evaluate the quality of proxies by their selling source, evaluate them by their ASN number. If you're serious about IG, try to find proxies leased from ASN's that aren't also leased from the same ASN's by the big players (HighProxies, BuyProxies, etc.).

@IMons The best way to keep your account safe is to mimic what a real person does. With everything you automate, ask yourself "is this something only a spam account would do, and can Instagram plainly see that I'm doing this?". If the answer to both those questions is "yes", change up your strategy and don't do the thing. Another question to ask yourself is "If I were Instagram and I wanted to get rid of as much spam as possible, could I stop spam accounts from doing this thing without negatively affecting real users?"

If it's an algorithm, it can be gamed. You want to blend in and make your accounts if not indistinguishable, at least inseparable from real accounts as much as possible by Instagram's "robots".

@cpa37710t There are other Android apps you can use that will work with Instagram PVA. Remember, stay away from the bandwagon. The more people that use a PVA source, the more resources IG will devote to try and make it unusable. Try and find a method or app that's popular or commonly used, then find one that does the same thing as that one and use it.

@ste83 @leonlism I'm not trying to get 200 accounts to 85,000 followers each, I'm trying to follow 85,000 people per day.

@Sasukee Don't use tor, it's overused and Instagram will jump on you faster than if you were using a bad proxy. Also, don't use link shorteners to shorten links and except that they'll be usable. Instagram just follows the shortened links to their source and then checks that page against it's spam filters.

@julianthr I'm using aged accounts that I've PVA'ed myself.

[...] try to find proxies leased from ASN's that aren't also leased from the same ASN's by the big players[...]

How do you do that? I guess that the only way to possibly know is to buy a batch of proxies from each company and lookup the ASNs... quite expensive. Or is it an information that proxy sellers tell you if you ask?
For now I haven't had problems with Highproxies (well, I just have 10 proxies... lol)

You can definitely try contacting different providers. All you need to do is contact enough of them, sell yourself as a customer well enough, and put the pieces together.

However, don't put too much stock in how "good" or "bad" your proxies are. Some of the proxies I use for Instagram are from those "bad ASN's" that I'd tell others to stay away from. If you're doing everything else very well, Instagram doesn't care that you're using a proxy (don't generalize that statement, because it's not true for all social networks). It's when you're using a proxy from a bad ASN and doing something else that Instagram detects as spammy that you're going to get nailed.

what are your results so far? just curious

also, i have been using your image rehasher bot for my ig profile pics, it's good

 

[Heiko]

Hi I am trying to advertise but when I try to edit bio it says: We're unable to save your changes due to an automated spam block. If this is a mistake, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

I shortened the links using bit.ly and goo.gl but it still says it I use tor browser proxy but it won't let me post it.

URL Shortener don't hide the real URL . You need a cloaker.

@Noah Hawryshko

I do believe that even 3 Account's per Proxy wouldn't be a problem. Instagram is allowing 5 Accounts.. i think..? However i've been using almost the same follower/unfollwer settings as you and i never had problems with multiple Instagram accounts. The only problem when having more accounts on one proxy is that every account could get affected if one gets banned.

Do you know any cloakers? I can't seem to find any.

Also, I use bluestacks, so how would I use a proxy?

Nothing so far. I'm profiling 10 accounts a day and focusing on split-testing landing pages and sources right now. It doesn't matter if I have 200 or 2,000 accounts, if they're all getting 1 click every 3 days then it means nothing.

Inbox me. I haven't used my image rehasher for a while on Instagram, and I'm curious about your specific setup and how well it's working in regards to wall posts and profile photos.

The only problem when having more accounts on one proxy is that every account could get affected if one gets banned.

The thing about going up past 2 accounts per proxy is that it gets incredibly volatile and risky should IG choose to update their anti-spam filter. If I get up to 400 or 500 accounts with 4-5 accounts each on 100 proxies, then Instagram can decide to tighten up their horrible anti-spam filter by slapping every known proxy IP block that has 3 or more active accounts on it with either a ban, a password reset, or a PVA. There is zero reason to have 3 or more Instagram accounts on a proxy IP, especially if that's the only IP that's ever used by the account.

It's the push of a button for them to do that. If they push that button then if they don't outright ban the accounts, they'll at least get PVA'ed and fingerprinted at the same time. Then I have one more variable to worry about for the lifespan of the account set.

1 account per IP is always acceptable on any social network. 2 Accounts per IP are (almost) always acceptable on any social network. 3 Accounts and above is never needed, and when you do that you're going to have huge problems later on when IG decides to wise up.

Do you know any cloakers? I can't seem to find any.

Also, I use bluestacks, so how would I use a proxy?

I don't recommend using Bluestacks. You have to very proficient and experienced with the Android OS to be able to use it on multiple accounts without using a fingerprint. There are 3 or 4 times more things to worry about with Android, and 3 or 4 times more things to get caught by.

So I should use a phone proxy? Do you know any?

 

[Noah Hawryshko]

Don't use a phone or Bluestacks at all. Proxies will be the least of your worries if you do.

Finding a way to do what you're doing on Bluestacks on a computer would be a better solution.

 

[azurous]

Use a private proxy via massplanner. (at least thats what I do and haven't had any bans or PVs yet)

 

[chad2320]

I'm excited to see where your journey takes you!

I'm currently working on building up my network of accounts as well. Currently have 21 accounts up and am adding 3 more every day. All these accounts are very unique and have great engagement. Each has great long term potential.

Just curious, buy am I leaving any fingerprints with this method I'm using? Currently I am buying aged pva accounts then verifying them with mozilla firefox and using its proxy settings and private mode. So far I have had 0 issues with this, but think this may not be the best way.

Also I'm still figuring out how to link all my accounts to my affiliate link safely. I have tried using link shorteners and using landing pages on my website but this has only resulted in my accounts getting banned. Also the method you linked too requires previous revenue, which I do not have considering I'm still pre-revenue. Working very hard to change this though!

Yes I use bluestacks on a computer, is that okay?

@Sasukee Don't use tor, it's overused and Instagram will jump on you faster than if you were using a bad proxy. Also, don't use link shorteners to shorten links and except that they'll be usable. Instagram just follows the shortened links to their source and then checks that page against it's spam filters.

How do I post the links then if I can't use url shorteners?
