Ask me anything about Instagram
- Thread starter chrsplmr
- Start date
been experiencing this as well. i never used any kind of follow/unfollow method/bot and some/most of my posts are having the same issue.
before the issues started i was getting on the explore page with almost every post i made. and had atleast a 50% engagement rate from non followed users. now however i have it much harder to get noticed. i even had a few posts not reach my followers at all or have an 0% non follower engagement rate.
my latest post seems to have similar issues, from what i have heard on reddit/other forums it seems like instagram is having some issues currently and other people are reporteding similar issues. however, it is quite annoying to see that 75-85% of my usual traffic just disappear. I am hoping it will go back to normal relatively soon otherwise I will probably start to lose followers which is not a good thing.

Ok friend , I think you want to look for a VPS not a VPN to run software to help with your troubles. Also DO NOT hire anyone at first until you have all of your processes down TRUST ME , you need to know everything inside and out because issues will come up they always do. As far as a VPS I usually do not do this ------however when I do consulting with small agencies I recommend a company for people starting out you can message @aqibarif74 this gentleman will point you in the right direction for what you need and at a fair price. As far as software is concerned everyone has there own recommendations so use your best judgement , but when you scale up and work for more clients do not un-follow 99 people every hour space everything out so you can run F/U all in the same day or bi-daily at a steady pace. Instagram is a steady game do not rush and think things through. Best of luck friend
What software are you using ? If not @JJJackson has a tool that may be of service to you.

Thanks! I use @JJJackson’s GMT2 actually but I am not sure if it can scrape users who like from an campaign. Hope he can confirm though.

Thanks for answering. I would like at least to manually add people monday - friday and unfollow during saturday and sunday, but I am affraid to use Jarvee and other softwares, so is it more risky to use have VPS and software for unfollow or to pay unfollower app for 5 smartphones and unfollow like that? I am using unfollower app on both smartphones and unfollow from 5 profile on each phone, for the last 6 months, so I don't know is it more risky to switch to automation at all or Instagram considers unfollower apps also as automation?
Thanks for you patience, It really means a lot to me. I don't wanna rush, but I wasted a ton of time trying to find some solutions and I never understood is it safe to use VPN and Automation at all.

1st question : We have used this ( slave / mother account ) method before it was a method and we used 200 at first
2nd question:
1. There are a ton of warm up guides however start slow 15-20 follow a hour to start is a good warm up for 7 days and then test raising the amount
2. To find sources find accounts that are niche related to yours and also anything related to your niche if your a plumber find plumber accounts and people selling plumber tools etc.

Question 1: Shout outs vs ads for a eCommerce business , in my opinion ads will give you a better conversion and your targeting will be a bit better and the longer you run the better conversion rate you will have , However if you know or have worked with a user that has a strong presence and loyal customer base that is willing to help you grow your business than shout / bio rentals work very well. The problem however most people are selling low quality low value goods and the margins are slim. So my advice would be to insure you have a higher ticket catalog of goods this way it will be worth your time investment. Hope this helps --
Question 2: Using a sim to create accounts is a safe method , I would personally look for a way to automate the process especially if you want to scale. Sometimes it just equals out $ and time wise by purchasing accounts , The method you speak of will work and yes it is safe however there are faster and more efficient ways. But if its for personal use 5-10 accounts it sounds like your all set
Hey, recently started a high end designer clothing reselling business (15-20% margins) currently at around 1.5k following from follow / unfollow method with jarvee, but over last few days we have been barely getting 20 followers a day. Also our customers aren't enquiring over anything. What would you recommend doing to catch up with the competitors that have 10, 20, 40k followers? instagram ads? whats your opinion.
Happy Hustle

Hey. Thanks for doing this!
Here is my situation: I sell info product and niche related services. Unfortunately, I don't have Instagram account in this niche. Therefore, I decided to use two year old account from weed vertical. This account has 750 followers. Now here is my gameplan.
First I want to use Instagram to reach as many people as possible in my niche. Meanwhile, I will make sure to nurture my audience with content which builds proof and authority. Second I will funnel those people to my web and work from there. So here comes my questions.
1. What's the best method to drive traffic to my main IG page? I guess it would be best to first build following and then engage the audience with stories and posts. But I can also link to my web from bio.
2. Is it a problem that I am mixing 2 audiences with my main account? I can interwave my content with weed, so it's not a cold hard change. I think it may be hard to go viral in the niche I care about, because most of the followers won't give a damn about the content I post...
3. Should I even bother to bot follow/unfollow/like? Or should I focus on organic growth?
4. Any tips on how to make content go viral?
Thanks for your time!

OK , question one about how many accounts per mobile proxy , in my experience I would not go to far over 10 accounts but with that in mind I have seen people run far more but on another note @ProxySale mobile is best for account creation and generally should be used for this type of action and then accounts should be moved to an IPV4 private unless budget is not an issue but generally people want to cut down as much overhead as possible to squeeze out every last cent at the conversion.
So in short you can run 10+ accounts however I would recommend mobile for account creation not the running of accounts due to cost.
Question 2: How to get organic followers , this is a relatively complex question that could be answered 1,000 different ways however if your staying consistent on IG along with aggressive interactions you will grow quite rapidly on Instagram "organically"
Hope this helps

What would happen to account with multiple copyrighted clips/short gifs? Can be taken down easily?
