As promised I will continue to update this thread. Here are this accounts current statistics: Followers: 8298 Following: 5045 I continue to gain 100-150 followers per day on the follow cycle with this account.

Update: Mass Planner has been a god send. I tweak its settings slightly every 2-4 days so as to not trip any security wires. And by this I mean number of accounts I scrape every day, number of likes, and time that I do it all. As of right now here is where this account stands: Followers: 7183...

As a funny side note for this specific account, something the client message me about this morning is hilarious to me. Since it has only been a few days that I've turned on the switch to like the last 1-3 posts by people they newly follow, he's been getting private messages from people involved...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I've made some adjustments to make it look less bot-like.

Okay here is another big update with some new changes in direction. First off, I finished the unfollowing stage again which left the account as follows: Followers: 6076 Following: 593 Now at this point I decided to purchase a license for and begin using Massplanner. The truth was I was...

I'm not sure if it's possible to be over-sensitive when working with client accounts and not simply trying to monetize IG accounts, but I have recently switched to using MP which I will detail in my next update post

Whenever it actually completes, yes. Even when it doesn't work automated in the background its still faster than doing it by hand so I just set an alarm on my phone for every 65 minutes and check to make sure it worked. It was reliably worked over night the last few nights. It seems as though...

Although it's finicky in its ability to run in the background without logging itself off and therefore stopping background execution, so far I've been using it (only to unfollow) with some success and its nice to have an automation tool for this purpose.

Update: 6109 Followers 2491 Following As you can see the followers of this account has only dropped by four people despite having unfollowed two thousand. If you are reading this to gauge your own progress, understand two very important points: 1. This is likely due to outstanding/pending...

Also, I wanted to point something else out to people looking to go on a journey like this. As the account grows, you can 'feel' the momentum building for this person. As their follower count continually increases, its almost as if engagement becomes inevitable. It is totally worth the patience...

Update: 6113 followers 4493 Following Beginning to unfollow again today. A couple of things to point out. Once again, this last batch of mass following was executed so as to try to avoid people that may have been followed the first time through. I would try to encourage the client to make a...

Update: 5419 Followers 3153 Following Still gaining followers at a rate of about 1/3 of that which I follow on this account, which has been very consistent throughout the journey. I will like go back up to only 5000 following before I start unfollowing again, as at this point I never want to...

Hey folks, So as I've been manually growing instagram accounts, tonight I discovered an app called Captivate for iOS which I paid $4 for the pro version. I've set it to follow 50 people per hour (althought the first cycle seemed to be longer than an hour, which I'm fine with) from a list in...

Isn't this number above Twitter's daily limit?

I started following people again today. This time from a different niche (last batch were people from this persons home town) entirely so as to avoid overlapping. Started this at approximately: 4660 followers 820 following I am doing the same as before. Following 60 people every 1 hour and 5...
