Creating accounts - way to 5k $ in 1 month

Hello everyone after a long absence.
I was debating whether to continue this thread, mainly because many questions were asked about how I create accounts, where I sell them, etc. I didn’t want to answer most of them for the sake of my income security — I don’t want to reveal what tools I use or how exactly I work, because that would make it easier for others to replicate my methods. However, over time I decided to post in this thread again — I don’t know yet whether I’ll continue it regularly or if this will be a one-time post.
There was a question about how much I spent on “software.” I’ll try to summarize the overall costs. Currently, I own 16 phones — all bought used — each costing between $90–120, so around $1,440–1,920 in total. On a few devices I had to replace the battery with new replacements — I spent about $100 on that (I replaced them myself). I also use two USB hubs — about $80–90 each. As for applications — App Cloner Ultra — I don’t remember exactly how much it cost, probably somewhere around $1,500–2,000. In addition, I use software that helps control the phones (I’m not a programmer, so I don’t write pure automation code myself) — about $600 per year. Current monthly costs are around $200–230 for SIM internet plus about $600 for proxies.
Referring to the last few months — I had both great times and terrible times. Sales were sometimes excellent — I was getting very good money per account — and sometimes production was going very well, although there were also worse periods when creating accounts. Unfortunately, in September something terrible happened to me. My laptop, which I was working on, burned out. I gave the equipment to the best data recovery company in my country, but the motherboard, drive, and some other components were damaged — unfortunately, there was no way to recover the data. Because of that, I lost a very large number of accounts. I estimate the loss at around $20–22k. It hit me very hard — I lost not only the accounts, but also my automation “recordings” for controlling the devices. Because of this, I had to start, in a sense, from scratch when it comes to account creation and automation.
October was a good month, November as well — until December came. Unfortunately, during the holiday period I got seriously ill and ended up in the hospital for three weeks — two of those weeks were spent in intensive care. I was diagnosed with myocarditis, pericarditis, and acute heart failure. This caused another break in my work. I was discharged from the hospital recently, I feel good, but I need to stay under a cardiologist’s care for a long time. I also have to be careful with any physical effort and stress, as well as any infectious illnesses.
As for my work itself — I created several Python scripts to speed up and simplify my workflow. For example, every hour I receive a “work report” on Telegram — how many accounts were created on which phone, how many emails were used, and what percentage of the daily target was completed. Another script merges created accounts into a single Excel file, separates accounts used for Instagram but rejected during creation (e.g. account bans), and then moves those emails into the pool used for creating Facebook accounts. Another script replenishes used emails with new ones prepared in a separate Excel file. This is how I simplified my workflow.
At the moment, I create around 350–420 Instagram accounts per day and about 150–200 Facebook accounts. On average (though it sometimes fluctuates up or down), about 15% of accounts get banned.
As for problems: my biggest issue is the difficulty of creating email accounts. I need around 1,000 per day, and I create them myself — on three of the most popular services in my country. The problem is that email accounts have also started getting banned. Sometimes short breaks in creation help, sometimes changing username generation schemes helps, sometimes changing personal data helps. If it weren’t for this “block,” I could easily expand my operation with more phones.
Another current problem is the drop in prices. Not long ago, net prices for 3-month accounts were around $0.7–0.9 per Facebook account and about $0.5–0.7 per Instagram account. Currently, prices have dropped to around $0.5 and $0.45 respectively.

Thanks for the offer. I prefer not to share where or how I sell accounts, mainly because it would create direct competition for me. At the same time, I’m actually looking to expand my client base and work more directly with buyers. Selling without middlemen would allow me to get a better price per account while clients would pay less due to no extra commissions — a win-win situation.
So that’s why I can’t help you sell your accounts.

this is what it looks like now

your story is really fascinating, thank you for share, will wait for updates

For some time now I’ve been increasingly thinking about how to make money on my own, using my own accounts or automation on my phone farm, instead of operating only within simple, repetitive setups.
I have the technical infrastructure:
-a phone farm,
-automation,
-experience creating accounts,
and I’ve come to the conclusion that accounts themselves are not a business, but just a tool. The real challenge is how to use that tool in a sensible way to generate income that is real and Lately, I’ve been thinking more about directions where:
automation provides real value,
Scale (multiple devices, multiple accounts) creates an advantage,
it’s possible to build something long-term rather than relying on one-off moves.
Of course, I still intend to continue doing what I’m doing now, but focusing only on that makes me feel like I’m somewhat standing still

really like your thread wish you good luck

@PlainText , thank you!

I’ve been thinking about what’s next and how to scale my business, and the most natural step seems to be creating my own SMM panel. I would like to try it. However, it will be very different from the typical public SMM panels in many ways.

First of all, at the beginning I plan to run it only via Telegram, focused on my local market. No website, no automatic payments — I just want to test it, see how it goes, and gain some experience. for website, automatic payment will time later, when everything will works good

Second — I’m not a reseller. I work with MY OWN ACCOUNTS. Because of that, I believe I can provide much higher quality than most public SMM panels. Contacting me means direct contact with the executor and creator, someone who can give real information about the order, possible/existing issues, and accurately estimate delivery time.

Third — pricing. Honestly, I can’t imagine selling something like 1k followers for $1. I don’t see any sense in that, nor any possibility of stable profit. I haven’t deeply analyzed current market prices yet, so I’d be happy to hear opinions from people who are familiar with realistic pricing for Instagram/Facebook services.

Fourth — unfortunately, I only create accounts on Facebook and Instagram, so my offer will be limited to these two platforms. Maybe in the future I’ll consider expanding, but I believe it’s better to focus on what you actually know instead of offering services you don’t fully understand and charging people for them.

Fifth — quality. I want my services to be high quality. For example, Instagram followers:
If I have more orders, I can’t imagine doing 20–30 follower orders from a single account in one day. Of course, it’s technically possible and not difficult, but I want my accounts to work as long and as safely as possible. That’s why each account will have a strictly limited number of actions per day, and after completing a few orders it will rest for 1–3 days.

For work, I want to use my own accounts that are at least a few months old. They won’t be empty accounts — they will be warmed up and lightly developed (minimum +50 followers/friends). I believe this is important for durability and quality and will help reduce complaints and refills to an absolute minimum.

Sixth — targeting. Until now, I’ve always focused on a specific target. I sold only female accounts, with female names, usernames, and nationality matching my country. Most likely, at some point I’ll also need to start creating male accounts, so clients can choose whether they want male, female, or mixed followers.
This brings me to a question for you:
Do people who buy SMM services actually pay attention to the nationality of the accounts used to deliver the orders?

I think it will be a long road to build this properly and ensure stability, but if you don’t try, you’ll never know if it makes sense. Realistically, the only thing I’m risking right now is my time — at this stage I don’t need to invest any money.

Even later on, I don’t see big investments, for simple reasons:
I use my own accounts, which I create myself. If an account gets banned, I don’t need to look for replacements on the market.
I build the automation myself. It will take a lot of time, but it’s a trade-off I’m willing to make.
At a later stage, if everything goes well, I’ll think about creating a website and adding a payment gateway. But realistically, that’s something for at least a few months down the road.

Currently, I’ve started working on this and created my own database that I’ll be using. This is my first time doing something like this, so I’m constantly adding new columns and solutions — for example, spreading orders over time, timming between actions on realising task, limiting daily actions per order, task priorities, etc. I’d like the client to be the one who decides how fast the order should be delivered and to have control over the execution details.
That’s why I’m building the system in a flexible way, so orders can be customized instead of being “one-click, fixed settings”.

Question to you guys:
What options do you personally consider useful when placing an order?
What kind of delivery settings or control would actually matter to you?
I test each of these things so I can quickly see what needs improvement and what else should be added.


Another big advantage of this automation is the ability to grow followers/friends on my own accounts that are meant for sale. Accounts with 3+ months of age and 50–100 friends/followers seem to reach a much higher price than empty aged accounts.

Of course, each service requires its own automation, so this takes a lot of time to properly test every solution. Right now, I’m starting with automatically adding friends on Facebook so the accounts look more realistic.

Another problem is that when I gave up my networks, I started using previously purchased mobile proxies (3x). And this is strange for me, because with the same settings in AdsPower, accounts are created quite well, but about 40-60% are blocked after 24 hours, there is no such problem with my own Internet. I tested webrtc noise and off, but it seems to me that there is still a problem somewhere else, even though according to various websites the fingerprints look very good. Its very important for me - if i could solve it i could put more proxies to create accounts.

Meta (FB), Google have the best engineers in the world as they have the most money. Their interviews are the most difficult which speaks for itself. They're able to detect proxy with 1 line of code which executes a lot of underlying detection.

Public residential proxes - the ones you buy are blacklisted by them. I have made countless accounts and it never works with residential proxies.

Also, I have to find a way around id verification which would be a breakthrough for me. I heard people are able to do it with emulators and OBS.

See, there is this problem with all email providers as anti-bot, anti-fraud, anti-spam detection is pretty easy to implement these days.

That's why I wouldn't bother with e-mail providers whose accounts are cheap and go to gmail.com, then age those accounts and also make aged youtube channels.

Hi man! New here and I just landed in this thread. Very impressive work.

I have a use case that also involves creating a lot of accounts but not for social media. Instead, I use them to automate a videogame.
My issue now is that I believe the game developers are blacklisting a lot of emails. I'm trying to use temporary emails but they get blacklisted quite quickly... That's why I thought maybe you could share some of your experience in email creation, if that makes sense for your interests.

I'm interested in knowing if you use legit email services like gmail, hotmail, etc... or services specific for your country (but legit) or you just use temporary email accounts also for your instagram and facebook account creation.

If it's legit email providers, any hint you may share would be really appreciated to create legit looking accounts and avoiding getting them banned.

Make gmail accounts and once they get suspended, tell them you used your inbox for work in reply.
With gmail account you can create tiktok, youtube using sign-in via google and more. Good luck.

But that's not very scalable, automatable right? or am I missing on something

I was truly moved by what you shared, thank you for opening up. I can’t wait to hear more

It's not scalable, but if you make $10 per gmail with other accounts made using that, it's not bad.

awesome dear

Update:
I've also started creating Facebook, Instagram, a bit of Twitter, and some LinkedIn accounts on my computer. The results are quite good, but it requires a huge amount of internet/proxy traffic. If I maintained production at this level, I'd have around 15,000 Facebook accounts, 15,000 Instagram accounts, 5,000 Twitter accounts, and 1-1,500 LinkedIn accounts.

However, I currently have another concern: accepting payments. Currently, the place I work with simply transfers the cryptocurrencies to my wallet. My accountant records the payment for my company, and I exchange the cryptocurrencies for fiat. OR, the second option: you can withdraw cryptocurrencies at a cryptocurrency ATM, but the amount per transaction cannot exceed €1,000. And that's fine too, except that regulations in my country are constantly tightening, and soon verification will be required for smaller payments as well. Withdrawals of up to €1,000 won't be possible without scanning your ID card. This complicates the situation considerably. I don't know how to approach this topic.

Hello Maline, first of all, congratulations on achieving this! I have tried to read all of your threads in order to create my journey, exactly like you did! But I seem to get stuck in some of the steps you have created, maybe because I intend to create and use the accounts for my own purposes. I think I can learn a lot from you and from your mistakes. If you are kind enough, could I talk to you personally about this process? I feel like I am a lot like you, so far my skills are like yours in 2024 ) I have also tried all sorts of big and local proxies and anti-detect browsers, and I also spend like 10h just to get anything done. I tried to get advice, but everyone gatekeeps what they know. I am willing to do anything just to have the chance to talk to someone experienced, without them thinking I want to become their competition , the accounts i want to create are in a somewhat small number, just to promote local business and create reach to smaller local brands that want to pay me for their marketing I created this account just to follow other people journeys, since reddit and other websites dont let you talk this free, and a talk with you will help me a lot. With all the respect. Andrew.

I appreciate your work very much, and I am in need of help. How would you say I could get in direct contact with you, so I can become a direct buyer ?
