Another stats update. I have been doing a lot of manual work on the account, MP has been left out of it for a few days. I have had a couple of requests to post my comment on other photos in my niche, and also a couple of other requests outside my niche.

Here are the stats:

Nice journey. One question, are you able to engage/comment while MP is running without any problems?

Hey man, my accurate experience is probably not. I can tell you I ran into problems having MP logged in whilst logged into IG on phone. Unsurprisingly IG flagged this, MP was unfollowing at the time, and as I mentioned further up the thread I had forgotten to log out of MP. I was liking at the time as well, but not commenting.

I think the best rule is to be cautious, do physical IG work with MP off, and log out when MP is on, I never have trouble this way.

Cheers

40 Follows per day is way too less :D U can set mass planner to follow 20 every 1 hour u will be fine 100%. If you have a bit extra money use Instagram ads they will slightly add more & if you have so much money pm me to skyrocket the stats.
 
Sup man! Nice journey so far. Keep going and keep us updated :)

Some advice:
- Post high quality content (I think you're already doing this). I had the same with my accounts. Lots of people commenting that they really liked my content
- Ask questions in the description of the posts to increase engagement
- As your running MP why wouldn't you add a few more accounts? Just let those accounts run on autopilot while you're focussing on your main account. If these accounts grow you can eventually promote your main account or just monetize these accounts as well

Good luck with your journey!

One more question, what about not using the phone to follow/like at all - Just let MP all the work-, but only to post (through the phone)?

Hey man, cheers for popping in. Yes, my pictures are probably right at the top in terms of quality, I literally take time to make each one pretty much perfect. People are sloppy with pictures, even if they do some work on them, they leave brightness out, saturation, highlighting...basically every picture I post is a drastically improved version of the original.

I do ask questions yes and for some appropriate photos I also ask people to tag friends, which they are already doing. I only do a question or tag comment at about 1 in every 4 or 5 photos.

I will be honest, I only want to focus on this account, I have one more account waiting in the wings, which is an awesome idea, but I am holding until this account is big enough to grow organically. So eventually yes I will have two accounts, both highly targeted, and because I only will have two accounts I can concentrate on interaction and engagement, which is working really well so far. Thank you and I appreciate your comments!

Hey man, I am noticing far better results doing it all manually. My engagement is higher, IG "suggested" people to follow is really good for my niche, and I can simply smash off 15-20 follows when I need to, and each one is already the exact person (bar the odd one), that I need to follow...IE the people who further down the line are going to become my customers.

I will use MP from time to time when I need to get some numbers up or down, but I seem to be working alright completely manually right now...cheers

Update:

Here are the stats so far, I have been doing everything manually for the last two days, and it seems to work a lot better, engagement is really high, and it's easier to target people to follow better.

All pictures that I post need to be posted in the first 6 hours of the day, I have experimented with various times, and anything past lunchtime GMT+2 yields only a quarter of the responses I get if I release my photos in the first few hours each day.

Another stats update, I am aware this is a slow journey, and for some it may not be exciting...but slow and steady wins the race! Anyway, I am continuing to grow this account manually, every day I am getting comments about the level of quality of my pictures, and people get involved with tagging friends etc when I post a CTA.

Here are the latest stats:

Followers: 363 (+17)
Following: 817 (+23)
Likes today: 72
Comments today: 8
 
Update:

I ran Mass Planner over night to give the numbers a bit of a boost, I changed the follow parameters from the standard niche follow to something a bit more targeted (after all these accounts that are in my niche have huge amounts of people in them, and a lot of them I do not want to follow). So I have started using three keywords for following, and on checking the results, the people I am following are exactly the right accounts.

I have the settings in MP set to only follow people with 25 posts, a bio picture and active in the last 3 days.

Here are the latest stats, I think I may drop the likes stat soon as it will get difficult to find out the exact number each time:

Followers: 373 (+10)

Update:

Had MP running a bit during the day again, and also did some manual following and unfollowing, here are the latest stats:

Followers: 404 (+31)

Update:

So Instagram pushed out their update, since it went through yesterday things seem to be less active this morning, usually my first pic of the day gets flooded with likes in 10 minutes...but today it is dripping in slowly..

I am continuing with my plan, here are todays stats:

Followers: 422 (+18)
Following: 816(-18)
Likes today: 73
Comments today: 10
 
Update:

I have been manually unfollowing a bit, and continuing with my posts. Today I will be running Massplanner for follows to get the account over 500 followers, the stats are below, and although it is slow they are all very healthy so far into the journey. Without doing any following just posting and interaction I am picking up between 3-10 followers a day.
