Thanks for all the overwhelming messages! I've also been receiving heaps of messages on Skype and I just haven't had the chance to get back to all of them individually. Thanks again!

Just read your edit.
Yeah, quite a few people beat you to the punch on Twitter accounts, although not on BHW.
You may want to consider selling 'higher quality' ones as they do make a difference and most sold are not exactly great.

I've been using them for a very, very long time now. There are a few sellers on Source Wave/Fiverr/Private Facebook groups that actually got the method/some tips on improving their scraping from me
Yeah, most of the sellers sell these accounts based on PA which in my opinion isn't exactly ideal as most of the PA is just coming from the root domain. The more important aspect to focus on is the RD and the backlinks an account has. They're far more valuable in comparison. At the same time, scraping these might be straight forward but scraping them with very strict filters isn't exactly easy.. does require a bit of time and it's hard to determine whether or not that time is worth/justifiable enough to open a service/BST.

Like anything, you can make money from it. Is it worth it? I dont know if the Twitter can be sold at a profitable margin.
Most people pay for the metrics and do not know the work you would put into check the back link history.

Oh yeah, there is definitely money to be made from selling these. I know guys on Fiverr who have received bulk orders worth over $X,XXX selling these accounts. Me personally, I've learnt from some mistakes I made in the past and at the moment I'm focussing on just specifically running/managing 1-2 services on here. The more BST's I have, the less time I have to work on each one.
The thing is.. most sellers are selling these accounts just as accounts. They don't actually register them for you. I've actually seen a few guys offering registration too for an added price but it's just a lot more effort. When I first started testing these out, scraping these was just the first part of the puzzle. Registering them were pretty hard too as Twitter is quite strict when it comes to bulk account registrations. I ended up testing about 7 services and I finally found someone (from this forum) who could register each account for me and do all the necessary customisations to the profile for a very affordable price. It's easy to register 5 accounts manually but when you need 500+ accounts registered, it's not exactly simple anymore.
I think there is potential for a service that can scrape quality accounts + also register and customise them according to the clients niche/URL/keywords (I'm actually in the middle of getting a tool made that can scrape niche relevant accounts with the minimum metrics I specify). And I think whoever sells this first can determine whatever selling price they want (within reason). However, as you said, it depends if the margins are decent or not. There are going to be expenses for scraping/proxies/software/VA's to analyze the accounts/registering the accounts/PVA's/VA's to customize the profiles/buying emails for the registration process/and so on.
Personally, if done absolutely correctly, with full quality in mind - I think these can be sold at a very good price and the seller should be able to make very good margins. I've cut my personal costs down for the scraping/registration of these accounts right to the very bare minimum so I have a rough idea what sort of margins you can make, and it's pretty handsome. But again, like you said, most people only pay for the metrics which is pointless.. so the question is: do you just sell the accounts with the basic metrics or do you pay 10x more for a complex setup in order to sell accounts that are higher in quality but also higher in price?
I guess it depends on the seller and what his plans for the service are. If I was to open a service for this, I would go with route #2 which I explained above - but the margins I'll be making for the amout of time I'll need to put in.. not worth it for me. But I can definitely see services popping up on BHW soon selling these/selling something similar to these.
Great job Leith!

Quality over quantity.
I see a lack of quality accounts in general on BHW. Not that we do not have a couple 'good' sellers but not even most PBN domain sellers check the back link profile correctly.
It is frustrating to see a lack of quality in general.
You are one of the 'good guys' Leith. I would LOVE to see you get into the account game but I am just being selfish.
I can't wait to see your next share!

wow! First of all congrats on being here for 5 years
Second, great post - its nice to see someone giving some tips on anchor ratio because its normally hard to find info on that - and its a great strategy that I have not seen mentioned before but makes sense - I have definitely noticed that average anchor ratios can be very different in different niches.
