Anyone doing F/U only with bot?

I have one account at the moment that I only do follow / unfollow on. The account is a few months old and I do about 30 actions per hour on the account from 9am to 11pm .

Is it promoting any CPA offer? Or are you just building up an audience?

I handle real accounts (not fakes, adult, girl spread wide open, or such spam). Botting is not the issue, it's the spamming done by the bots.
I report spam accounts to Instagram all the time, and 98% of them get banned. I don't want crappy accounts following/liking my clients' real accounts. I don't mind good human looking bot accounts, it's the crappy ones that spam that get me hyper.

So, stop spamming and using sexy girls on your accounts. They will get you teen followers, but nothing much. And, if I come upon them, I will report them.

Either you're not reporting enough, or its not having much affect as I spam every day, and don't really have any intention on stopping to please your clients.

Rarely do I recieve bans.. maybe 1 or 2 a week, but out of the amount of accounts I run thats less thanot 1% - You're talking as if you run IG or something.. you know how much of a .... you sound? "If i come upon them, i will report them" ..

Stop being a tattle tale... Maybe that's being harsh, but your whole post just screamed cry baby in my eyes.
 
Been using bot for a long while without bans aside temp suspension but if thats what you mean... i get some accounts deleted due to reposting too

Don't worry about me. I don't spend my time looking for spammers. I just report them when I come upon them following any of the accounts that I handle.

If you're losing less than 1%, I guess you have about 2 years before you are completely out of accounts, unless you constantly replace them. Either way, I really don't care. Up your account building game to look more human, or have 100 guys like me whipping you out.
 
How do guys research your sources or which accounts to target for f/u? Trying to improve my followback ratio.

I just try to think like the people that I am targeting
Note down some facts like: How old are people that might be interested in your niche? Are they m or f?
Just filter out like this and try out a few different things, until you got the right targeting that is working out for you
 
F/U is by far the most effective single-client growth method, aside from spiderweb

following like 800-900

too much, I don't cross 500 even on residential IP

Jure321 said:
Yep, I sometimes turned off the bot or stopped one of the actions, or changed max actions to make it look more natural.

...or just learn how to utilize the scheduling option in GMT2/Jarvee

As for me follows and unfollows seem to be fine, but I cannot seem to like more than 50 pictures without getting an "Unable to like" notification

40/hour, with 500-700 second delay between each like

Haha, I respect your reply.. and I apologize if I came off a bit harsh. We all have those moments, at least I do. I can a test to not like having bot followers myself, I try and have my filters as strict as possible to weed them out.. but some still sneak there way in. I won't repot them though, who am I to try and stop the next man from eating.. especially when I'm automating myself.

But anyway, yeah I typically replace a dead account with 5-10 new ones. My ban rate is extremely low because I actually take the time to have unique settings for every 10 accounts that actually emulate human behavior. My targeting is pretty spot on, and I don't try and follow/like 500 people per account.. as humans don't typically do that. I won't dive deeper into what my settings are, but you would be hard pressed to know the accounts I run are actual bots. Takes longer to setup, but I avoid all the "ban waves" and "pv waves" that you hear about people complaining about.

Good on keeping human looking accounts.

For those of us that get paid to handle others' accounts, it does matter. Engagement falls, KPIs are low, all of these and many more are excuses for our clients to kick us down the curb, and not keep us on their salary.
Like I said, human looking bots, although not good, most clients won't notice or freak out. Spammy looking accounts will get us an arse chewing, or worse. I think I'm helping botted accounts by making them learn to be more careful, make better accounts, or move out of the way.
