Thanks! Honestly, I’m learning most of this as I go, just moving fast, testing a lot, and sharing everything here. The quick start has definitely been motivating though.
Well said! That’s exactly the goal, keep experimenting, learning, and turning small wins into something bigger over time.
Appreciate that! Yeah, I’m trying to stay disciplined with tracking so I know what’s actually working before scaling too hard. Outreach consistency has been the biggest driver so far, so I’m doubling down on that.
I use AI to pre-write replies based on past conversations and each model’s personality. It doesn’t fully automate everything, I still review and send most messages, but it saves a ton of time and keeps chats consistent.
Thanks! Good points, I’m signing more models mainly to diversify income streams so I’m not too dependent on one account. I am focusing on traffic too, but having multiple models makes the whole thing more stable long term.
In my case models it’s what’s causing the burnouts. Once you have the product = traffic it’s easy to get models, the word spreads itself, they all know each other, and you could add the clause in your contract for them to do the outreach for you. Handle traffic take one source to perfection. A good case study with one model will open a lot of doors. Scaling horizontally and not vertically means you don’t have an actual product. Wish you luck
That’s a really solid perspective, thanks for sharing it. You’re probably right that focusing on one model until the system is airtight might save me headaches (and burnout) long term. I like the idea of getting the traffic piece dialed in first and then letting results attract more models naturally.
I woke up with the same issues and many times before, I suspect IG is shilling their verified check and enhanced support, I get false flagging all the time, just learn to deal with it. Remove the link in bio before appealing helps. Instagram is not fair remember that, I’m well aware of TOS and I don’t break the rules its just their thing…Appeals also aren’t fair its lottery at most. Also a note, IG support is useless, they just confirm what already shown and tell you to wait. This happens on established accounts over 100k followers, over 10 million reach, on 5g mobile internet dedicated devices…It’s always kinda messy but it works, don’t lose hope!
I’m using a mix, mostly GPT-based setups fine-tuned with each model’s "voice". I don’t just let it run fully on autopilot, but it handles a big chunk of replies and keeps convos flowing when I’m busy.
Right now I’m keeping it simple with just a handful of Reddit accounts. I rotate them to stay safe, but I’m not running at huge scale there yet, mostly testing what sticks before going bigger.
Yeah, I think you’re right, sometimes it feels like IG is pushing people toward verification. Good tip about removing the link before appealing, I’ll try that next time. You’re spot on about appeals being a lottery too, definitely learned that the hard way. Thanks for the encouragement, I’ll just keep rolling with the punches.
By “convos” I mean actual leads I can chat with, some are potential models to collaborate with, some are fans who might become paying subscribers. So basically it’s the first step before conversion into either.
