Another newbie dreaming make it big lol

Hi everyone! Today I've found out about this forum and considered joining it as the first step into my IG game. So I have a personal account, the small one 1500 followers and of course since I'm here I have intentions to grow it bigger. Maybe someone has an advice like where to start? I use instagress for likes and comments (not regularly but will improve that) and follow manually. I only follow maybe 80-100 people every 2-3 days since the content of a person is very important for me and I just can't follow someone whose feed doesn't attract me. Then I unfollow those who didn't follow back. Is that the right strategy? Is there anything else I could do? My account is growing slowly but I'm patient. Thank you very much in advance! +1 to your karma and 10K followers if you have something useful and nice to reply xo

Welcome, I hope you make it big soon!

When you're cherry picking your followers, following them first and then unfollowing them won't it seem like your account's raising a flag? Also, the followers and the following numbers both would be equal. To me, it's best leave it as it is after you follow and probably you may unfollow those who haven't followed you back after a few weeks just to make it look naturally. Probably, they might follow you back again when you re-target them again after a few weeks, since during that time, your accounts are riper with more posts. Good luck

Hello mate! I'm new here too! Following only 80-100 every 2-3 days seems like a real slow progress. I'm following about 500 every day and it is still a lot till 50-100k which is my starting goal! Anyways hope you are successful and you start making cash soon!!
