[Scraper9]

- What types of prospects did you used to target: local business or small online business like for an example shop for handmade jewelry?
- As you said that you are pitching them via cold emails only, on which email reply (on average) your were normally closing them?
- Did you used to mention to them that, you have a special software that helps you in the process, or you were telling them that you do it manually?

Hi everyone,

I've been playing with IG for the past 2 years and I started like every noob out there. I read on the forum, I tried the method and I fail. However I'm unlike other noobs, I did not give up and continue trying. After 3 months of tempering and playing with FL I honestly was "kinda" good at it.

**( If you're a lurker create an account now and start using the forum the right way, if you're a reader and not doing anything start failing now than later because you're just wasting time)**​

So I had a brilliant idea of managing and growing accounts locally in singapore however businesses in singapore are very old-fashion and cares A LOT about image which I started to provide to western countries such as US, UK, CA etc... at my peak I was charging 250$US per client monthly and had around 55 clients.

Then something happened and I stopped managing it was a good run for a full year but i'm planning to get back and have a MASTER PLAN to execute. Along the way, I was pushing and testing the limits of instagram and trying various ways to test stuff out. Till this date I run a rank #hashtag service for IG, so yes you might ask... why am I doing this ?

Because of what BHW has provided and made me left gaming and turned me into someone knowledgeable. I wanna give back to the community instead, the most important key in being able to be "successful" as some of you may say is to be consistent and keep failing, only through failure you'll learn how to overcome and succeed!

END OF BORING SPEECH!



Type of questions you should not ask:
- How can I replicate your "manging" service for companies
I'm not here to write a essay, I'm here to answer specific Questions

- How do I make money with Instagram ?
Obviously you've not visiting the "Making Money" section.

- Can you reply to my PM ?
NO, if you wanna ask something ask it here so everyone can benefit from it.

- Why don't you tell us how you do it and your exact steps about your "managing service" instead of showing off ?
I've seen many people like that, I was never ask to be spoon-fed. I network with people and talk to people and slowly gain my knowledge over two years. I spent almost 3 months on BHW everyday for 12 hours and I've been on skype for 2 years trying to network and sourcing information. I don't mind if you ask question but asking an exact blueprint is just retarded and lazy.


NOW ASK ON!​

I believe I don't owe anyone anything, I'm doing this out of goodwill and my own free time. We join BHW almost the same time but I don't have as much time as you to post so much sorry, I focus more on doing real stuff that chit chatting #nooffense

I don't mind them asking but I didn't want people to focus on what I achieve but instead ask about questions that they need to forward in learning IG. No one can replicate someone's work, only can copy but personal failures and twist.



1. Believe it or not, I hire someone from upwork to scrape thousands of website's to get their information such as email, instagram username, followers count and check the first day of creation. Then what I do is personally email them using my own growth service website's email or go to their contact page which is 100% inbox either way works for me as well. However even do I get someone to do data mining but I'm still emailing 100-150 emails a day.

Not all of them will reply obviously but out of every 10 email I'd get around 8-10 emails replies asking further but sometimes non of them subscribe sometimes 3 of them subscribe it varies.

2. No, but if you're planning to replicate what I do it'd be really slow in gaining clients however instagram is getting more and more mainstream I'd say it'll be easy to get clients and more of them are willing to pay. Those who understands the value of it and have try tempering with IG ads.

3. Yes & No, I tell them that I engage with followers of competitor with similar niche which they provide and what I do is engaging with the users and if they follow back is all up to them.



Two ways,

First - I ensure growth of 500 followers gain every month else I'll refund for that month.
Second - If every an account got banned/suspend I'll refund from the first month till whichever they're currently subscribe OR I can make build an account with equalvalent value for free untill it get back to where it is. Explaing more oppurtunity and the previous followers will not be the same but fresh and new people are aware of their BRAND/PAGE.



Followliker, I've various tools which whatever MP can provides FL can do it. FL is better at handling massive amount of account while MP is a monster at individual for noobies.



I create my own wordpress website with payment gateways of paypal.



Always warm up the account no matter how aged the account is.

I've never gotten any account disabled before because I'll never do aggressive settings such as over 700 follows a day. And I don't do follow/unfollow on the same day.

Make sure the accounts post regularly as well, if the account does not post but keep follower/unfollowing it'll get disabled from what I notice on my personal "fun" accounts.



Let me answer it in sequence sweet and short.

• Yes
• No, buy dedicated proxies.
• 1 Per Account, I'm charging $250 why share.
• Basically any provider will do the job. Just avoid mainstream ones.
• Yes, just ask the owner to verify. It's not that tedious.
• No, never after the first.
• Yes, I ask the owner to take care of it since I've no access to email of course.
• Hell, try various settings I can't baby sit you on this. Everyone has their own "safe" settings.
• 0
• No, because never gotten disabled before.
• Refer above to those reply.

FollowLiker. It's an Instagram bot that follows, likes, unfollow, etc. You just punch in who's followers to target and it does the rest for you.

 

[DeniX3]

Just went through all Q&A's

- Do you always charge $250 per month for every niche?
- If not, how do you calculate or know how much to ask etc.?
- I don't get the talk about the custom scraper. Isn't it just research for small accounts in that niche and put them into the bot?
- How will it work with the scraper in combination with MP or FL? Scrape username's and put 10k so they can last for about 20 days and than you insert new batch to follow?

 

[Deleted member 657006]

What the best but easy way to make accounts.

And how.

 

[2xdswu]

Your business is very intriguing. I appreciate the insight you give. Honestly, you're giving some very valuable first-hand information.

I have some experience manually building accounts but still consider myself a newbie. I will be buying a bot soon. What type of route would you recommend a newbie take to making some money with IG? There seems to be a vast amount of options. Growing accounts and selling them, shoutouts (not recommended by you), affiliate sales, CPA, and of course, a business model similar to yours.

Appreciate any response.

1. Please buy a bot.
2. Please buy a bot.
3. Please buy a bot.

Time is money and money if fun. So don't waste it on building it manually and as you bot and goes on it is actually a lil difference from botting than manually trust me you'll love it.

A newbie, I would recommend you to avoid shoutouts, CPA and affliate sales.

What you can start out by doing is try to build good accounts with good engagement ratio and sell those accounts and get back some return on it. As times goes by every 1 or 2 you'd be able to sell 5-6 accounts if you're consistent and that would be a good low 4 digit income for yourself with less work since you're using a bot to grow them. From this you'll gain experience on how to grow account and lost a couple of accounts, don't get too attached to your accounts since you're still learning how to build em by bot. Good luck mate!

Then go back to CPA and affliate sales and learn what bans and what don't get ban. It's impossible for me to write like everything out of what I know thats just not possible unless I make a full freaking blog website which I then don't have time to manage, but my best word of advice would be to test them along the way while you're building account.

- What types of prospects did you used to target: local business or small online business like for an example shop for handmade jewelry?
- As you said that you are pitching them via cold emails only, on which email reply (on average) your were normally closing them?
- Did you used to mention to them that, you have a special software that helps you in the process, or you were telling them that you do it manually?

- I target both local and small online businesses, actually infact I've wayyyyyyyyyy lesser local business on board than online/other countries business. I'm from singapore and the businesses here are egoistic and does not give a FUCK about earning money, they wanna be "upright" and have "dignity" in what they do and they care about their "face" too much. So I avoid them, they wanna pay low and get the most out of it since my service was and I quote "too expensive" as a monthly payment. Haha fuck me right! I would say just email them or contact their website if they've contact form on their website. Else use instagram DM to chat and ask for their business email.
- Yes, I'm lazy and I don't care previously. Cold emailing will not be fun but if you've met a person who is interested. Normally I closed them within 4-5 emails period, no BS. I hate wasting time replying to email it's so retarded. They like to ask "can I see your previous work ?" this is when you show them.
- NO, I don't tell them shit they just ask how it's done. You can read my previous post somewhere I mention it. I don't tell them I use special software and they themselves don't want to know because it's too technical and all it matters is you to do your job. They just assurance that their account don't go down deepshit.

I live in South Korea
Is it possible to get PH sims and Activate & Use them by Roaming mode in Korea?
If yes, Is there any seller on eBay / amazon that sells Pre-Activated sim card?

I'm do provide PH sims verification service, however I've no idea because my VA does the job for me.

But I know that pre-active sim are able to receive code such as dropbox and internet banking OTP and it does receive it when I'm in oversea. But don't quote me on that, I'd say it's possible. Why not try buying a small small batch.

Do you have your clients sign contracts? Or do they pay you month to month?

No, paypal and credit card payment only via my website.

Contract is dumb and it's waste of time, they pay my service they get what they want. Contract to me is just retarded and just a "marketing scam" develop to save marketing companies their ass in case of deep shit happened.

- How will it work with the scraper in combination with MP or FL? Scrape username's and put 10k so they can last for about 20 days and than you insert new batch to follow?

- No, for people who are the face of the brand known as "Individual" I charge them 100$ a month. And for only beauty and fitness and their sub-categories I charge 200$ a month.
- Up to you, just don't ruin the market by charging 69$ or 59$ like some website on the market, it's so cheap I highly doubt most of their customers are businesses. You're going to only pay for a VPS which is only like 10$+ for 30-50 clients and each using 1 proxies which is around 2$-2.50$ per proxies ?

Also I can provide VPS to those who wants, un-overcrowded and 100% cheaper and better than those in the marketplace. I'm "resourceful" and have "connections".

- No, they've stronger filters. Like if the accounts have website link, when was the recent post and how far it can filter to, if the accounts has any text in bio, username, full name etc.
- 10k last for 20 days ? You can't follow that fast, you've to unfollow unless you do unfollow & follow on the same day which is risky, remember I told you that I do the safe way. I don't risk their account if not I refund them their current month and all the month they're subscribed to me.

What the best but easy way to make accounts.

And how.

LOL.

I don't feel like answering this one as I might soon sell fresh and aged IG accounts, but I could say get someone to create you a account creator which uses mobile API to create accounts. That has browser simulation, mobile device simulation and mac spoofing.

This is a great thread, thnx for all the info so far!

You mention VPS, as far as I understand this is a server you can log into and among other things run your bot from (FL lets say) instead of running from your local computer, is that correct?

Whats the benefit of using a VPS as opposed to a local desktop computer and some proxies, and how complicated is it to manage this?

Are you logging into a ready windows environment and installing what you need, or is there something more to it? Obviously I've never used a VPS before, I am imagining some kind of teamviewer situation.

 

[cammypotts]

Great Idea!

What is your solution for telling them they are going to loose their feed? Are many clients concerned about this?

Cheers

 

[nikche_]

I would love to see the original email you send them, the one which grabs attention.

VPS is a virtual private server.

It's basically a duplicate of your desktop/windows which will run 24/7 and depending on the specs you can run depending on how many.

Not complicated, you can just buy VPS here or contact me if you want better rates for VPS. They're basically easy to connect and it runs on OS that you wish to.

You don't need install teamviewer, you can just connect to remote desktop which all windows computer already have it.

Great Idea!

I don't get what you mean by "loose their feed" very vast, is it the update on IG chronological feeds ?

Could you elaborate more and does it relates to my service ?

I would love to see the original email you send them, the one which grabs attention.

No lol, of course not. I spend hundreds - thousands to get a good converting email.

No one will share it with you.

But I would advice hire professional sales copy writer if you're really interested or get into this.

 

[DeLaGarde]

Thanks for the explanation 2xdswu, that sounds simple enough to run. Followed you so I can find you again when the time comes for my own VPS.

 

[adultj]

I really learnead a lot from this thread, thank you.

My only big question still unanswered is... you're using a proxy in FL then the client is loggin in also to his account in his mobile/desktop.
Wouldn't that change of IPs between proxy and client network trigger an account verification?

Thanks and keeep up the good work.

 

[PageMarketingSEO]

They say proxies leak sooner or later, and your accounts will get banned at a point. It's never like your home ip. That's why I have only 4 ACC's on my PC but I would like to expand to more ACC's legit. Have you got some certain idea to grow 20 ACC's safely

 

[merten]

How do you describe your job title to the companies for this kind of work?

Yes it does trigger, sometimes.

But usually when it does you can just contact your client to do the verifications. Easy process and they should be able to do it as long as they know how to do email verification.

From what I notice and all the accounts I've runned it does not change IPs, its more of an extra "reserve spot".

Proxies always leaks if you uses HTTPs type of proxies, thats why sock5 are much better however all the proxies that I've used are HTTP.

Honestly I've never met a bump of getting the account banned or suspend I play it safe and slowly.

Grow 20 accounts is not that hard just read what I wrote previously and all my post you'll understand more. If I grow accounts of my own I just use 3 account per proxies.

How do you describe your job title to the companies for this kind of work?

One of the easiest thing to do lol.

Do you ever flip IG accounts or build them to do your own shoutouts? Or is the money better to contract?

Thanks for all your answers and insight.

He already said he thinks shoutouts are pointless.
