My 200 Account Instagram Journey to 85,000 Follows and $101.16 Per Day

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, you are leaving fingerprints, but you're lucky because IG is still out to lunch regarding anti-spam filtering.

What you're leaving using that method are called flash cookies. Even in incognito, if flash is enabled in Firefox (which it is by default) than it only takes a couple lines of code on IG's side to link all your accounts to one specific machine, and then mass-ban them. It is absolutely essential that flash is disabled, and that you're very weary about any settings changes you make to Firefox that may be used to identify you uniquely. Also, the answer below is also for you.

@Sasukee Regarding posting links safely, you can check out Cryogenesis's link posting method in his first post in his "$50.00 a day with Instagram" tutorial. He uses a pre-lander, creates a "click here to continue" button, and then links to the affiliate offer from the button.

As far as I know, the above method is still working. If he has the time I'd invite @Cryogenesis could give us a quick update on whether this link posting method is still working, or whether he's had to change it up in some way or move to cloaking.

I wish you good luck.

Thanks a lot man, appreciate it!

Do you know any prelander websites?

Yes. Think about places that people go when they want to host a website for free, or want to start a personal blog on a small scale. That's where you'll find some of the best hosts for prelanders.

Okay so with disabling flash I should be good then? That's very easy.

I guess I have been calling pre-landing pages, landing pages, thanks to the initial video I watched about them. I have followed franklin hatchetts video on youtube about building landing pages with wordpress and profit builder. My pre-landers just have some images, text and a button taking them to the affiliate offer. So far I have gotten 2 accounts banned. The only thing I can think of is my website isn't "legit" enough and needs more content and backlinks. It also could be my accounts are to new and small 500-1500 followers, however cryo adds links on when he initially builds the profile so I'm not sure if this is it.

So I need a domain? Do you know any "free" ones that offer prelanders?

I was really confused about what a prelander was. I did read through Cryogenesis thread looks like I missed this part though.

Thanks!

I've heard that Weebly was really good, and I've used Blogger for 100's of prelanders. Both are free.
 
Hi Noah, I like the way you think, you are a perfectionist, like me =P.
Do u have a skype or kik - telegram where I can contact you in private?
Good luck on your journey

Journey update is to come after this post.

Yeah, it's basically just a link that you put the link to your affiliate offer on.

I'm waiting on a reply from Cryogenesis on whether his method is still working. If it's just simply not working anymore, then IG marketers will have to look for another solution.

Which is better, weebly.com or blogger.com?
They both do the job, with blogger you need to do a couple extra things that may not seem too simple. I'd go with Weebly, but I've never used it.

Sure!

I inboxed you.

I don't think there is a landing page feature, there definitely isn't for Blogger. In general, you need to either build landing pages or or rip them from other sites. Doing either of those things properly requires general knowledge of HTML and CSS which you can find here: w3schools.com

JOURNEY UPDATE:

So Instagram has decided to throw a fit over the last couple days regarding phone verification (see https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/textnow-alternatives.893739/#post-9470451). I was using TextNow for my accounts, but now that method's dead.

I took a couple hours to implement some backup PVA methods and now I'm all set again, but Instagram has been focusing more on stopping spam through the medium of phone verification specifically, so watch out.

Total setup accounts: 110 (+0) of 200
Total fully profiled accounts: 80 (+20) of 200
Total fully profiled accounts with wall photos: 60 (+59) of 200

To do: Get 10 more domains
To do: Follow source split-testing
To do: Landing page split-testing
To do: Find backup-backup PVA methods
To do: Find the most optimal intervals between posting multiple bio links to the same domain
 
JOURNEY UPDATE:
More phone verification trouble today. My backup-backup phone verification method was working until late yesterday, but it's also been blocked as of earlier today. I'm using a backup-backup-backup phone verification method now, but I'm starting to run out of backup methods so I might have to put the journey on hold for a couple days depending on what I find.
 
Hey dude I see you are also struggeling with the phone verification on your accounts. I've got some (fresh)sim cards from the UK to use for testing. would you like to exchange some ideas on skype?

I've been doing some more testing, and I don't think the phones were the problem. I've had other people use my sources and report success, so I have a different theory.

I think that Instagram is asking for verification on accounts that they've already banned server-side. If you were Instagram and you were trying to figure out what phones spammers were using to verify spam accounts, how would you create a list of them?

Simple, whenever an account gets banned by an anti-spam filter for some reason, you'd give it a fake PVA prompt, wait until the number is entered, wait until the verification code is entered, and then log the number into a database as a "spam number" and delete the account immediately.

It's genius.
 
JOURNEY UPDATE:
More setbacks today. Massplanner released an update earlier today that broke all of my Instagram accounts. Nothing is following, nothing is liking, nothing is unfollowing, nothing is doing anything, and I'm powerless to continue my journey until they fix that. My lack of clicks gives me a lack of split-testing data, and my lack of Massplanner functionality makes it impossible to warm up accounts, forcing me to deviate away from my standard account setup practices which is something I refuse to do.

I'll keep members posted. What a shitty week.
 
Man, i am not having much success with Instagram either. for a large variety of reasons, saturation and PVA being big ones, I dont think IG + Ogads works so well anymore.
