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...
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.

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...

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...

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...
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...
I find it difficult to keep the followers amount anywhere near the following at the start. When I started with this one account that I mentioned, it was at 810 followers. I double that in 10 days which I was pleased with, but obviously with tweepi allowing twice as many follows as unfollows per...
Hey there! I just got this email from Twitter that has me somewhat concerned:
"Your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter.
We’ve locked your account @xxxxxxxxx to keep it safe. In order to log back in, you must change your password."
Since I...
Well again, I am not the one doing the actual posting for the account, the person whose account it is still does that, but I just did a quick check and it truly varies, anywhere between 80 and 250 lately
Just thought I'd post another update, I felt there was no real need to post an update every day, perhaps I will check in with this thread once per week, or any time something relevant comes up.
Here are the accounts stats currently:
Followers: 4684
Following: 1964
I slowed down this past...
People should be aware to avoid using these free follower services with personal accounts as they access your user lists and send out DM's to your friends list with links to their services. I definitely just learned my lesson.
