Might be launching a service for whitelabel growth service soon that will include this.
Maybe, not so soon.
See how it goes. I'm lazy.
The hell is dat.
Sorry, i don't read gossips about internet marketers or look them up online.
Especially people who call themselves "Guru" they're full of shit. Just using their image to earn fame, which is amazing but I find it dumb.

Follow followers of accounts or users who interacted with accounts?

Use your head and think a little and try searching on instagram or google stuff like "100 Instagram profile you should be following".
Both and filter them.
Important to do, not a lot of people does it but it's actually good to know which hashtags to use and what actually lands you to rank on the hashtags.

Sorry no but there's a thread for that already, you could search for it. I've not yet have an account banned before, actually I do but it was a damn stupid mistake of mine.

Gotta say, I have doubts about OP's asshole status... if you carefully read this thread and take aboard the info, well its a practical blueprint for minting cash on Instagram. No real asshole would be so helpful, also replying to total noob comments and comments from people too lazy to read the thread. OP you are changing lives.
I read and commented on this thread a few months ago. Since then, I took aboard OP's advice to take action. I now have 5 accounts up and running, totally automated, as a kind of proof of concept that I can do this. Accounts are growing nicely. Got two accounts banned in the process, live and learn, no probs. I'd love to have a custom scraper and excel addons all working together, but that's for the future... making do with manual niche research and FL's scraping capabilities at the moment. I plan to do hundreds more accounts for my own purposes. If I wasn't for my day job taking up all my time, I'd be even further along now.
I already have two paying customers for Instagram account growth services, and a few more very interested parties, just out of my offline network of people I know etc. Sweet. Thanks 2xdswu for inspiring me to make this happen!
My new question for OP is: Do you use your "real" personal Paypal for processing payments, or do you have a stealth account? Any more tips on receiving and processing payments and withdrawing the cash with a minimum of fees and hassle?

Players don't mingle, players do real stuff without the chit chat. Glad that it helped you
The feeling of the first customer is great isn't it.My new question for OP is: Do you use your "real" personal Paypal for processing payments, or do you have a stealth account? Any more tips on receiving and processing payments and withdrawing the cash with a minimum of fees and hassle?
I've my own business paypal account and I use it for all my instagram services that I run under the same name. So it isn't personal nor is it stealth account.
I create my own website and which only accepts paypal payment, I'm not taking credit card payment due to there will be an penalty fee incurred everytime someone charged back. So if you're losing the client and you still have to pay 15$, not worth it. Bleh.
Make your own website with wordpress & woo-commerce. If you don't know how, go to upwork hire someone and buy a theme and ask them to install for you and ask them to edit how you want it. Pay them 150$ (Don't be stingy) and pay for the theme you chosen from themeforest.
Your welcome.

Yes man, it feels great, like the songs says, real IM's do real things ;-)
I'm a noob when it comes to monetization and receiving online payments.. I didn't expect to have this "problem" this soon. Researching that was on the to-do list. Now I'm looking for an accountant lol.
Thanks for the tip about the credit card and the website, I'mma probably go the same route, make a website with payment's going via paypal. I'm OK with html, CSS and web design, but short on time, so I'll probably pay someone to do it.
I cant say it enough how useful the info OP has given in this thread is. I'm off to work on this project, peace!

You are not a lazy person as you said at all. And you execute stuff instead of plannng.
But i wonder one thing, what you were doing 2 years ago, that somehow lead you to work online and gain online. what was your first mindset and motivation about IG or IM? did you set solid goals and reached them in 2 years? Or does it started like most in here? overwhelmed by offline business and thinking about making 5 figures without an office? what was your mindset and goals in the beginning?

Save the hassle and let someone who really know what they're doing to create the website for you. Trying to figure out is a waste of time, but of course you've to know how woo-commerce works which is really simple. Get the guy who you hired to write a documentation for you lol. #Problemsolved. I setup my own site because I used to be a graphic designer and learn how to setup sites but it took me awhile to learn, when you've clients now. You shouldn't learning things that money can replace for you, save the time and find more clients and upgrade new and better things for your clients instead of learning something unnecessary.
Dude, you've noooooo idea. I'm lazy AF, I've two new huge ventures but it takes me a week to do a 2 hour job which I can do easily.
2 years ago, I was in the army. In singapore you've to serve for 2 years compulsory.
1. Firstly I always liked the way of earning through internet. Secondly I was hugely interested in graphic design at the time and soon after I realize how much I hate dealing with clients. Soooooo... what's a better way to do something that's fully automated and not dealing with clients = IM.
2. First motivation ? None. I just wanted to be "Instafamous". I know I was going nowhere for first 6 months, but it got me hugely interested when talking and connecting with some big boys on a skype group (no longer active). It's just cool in my head at that time thinking "I would be cool if I'm earning 6 figures". It is but I sacrifice one thing that I regretted. (Not going into details).
3. No goals, just finding it interesting. Pretty much why I was doing it at that time emailing tons of people everyday over hundreds manually. I was dumb tbh, there's things much easier now to reach a wider range and more "Automated".
4. TBH, My head got cluster fucked for 1-2 months. If you are really serious, read something that really interest you on the forum. Be it SEO, Affliate marketing, PPC/PPL, Mobile Marketing etc..... Go ahead and do it. Sure, you'll burn both lots of money and time. But I can ensure even if after that downfall and you continue, you'll not be disappointed and thanking yourself that you fail at the start. What I realize is that most people coming into IM thinking, they'll be the "NEXT BIG THING" or "I"M GOING TO EARN 4-5 FIGURE IN MY FIRST PROJECT". Those are the one who will quit thinking it doesn't work or juggle between shit which doesn't work.
5. I till now don't have an office, don't think I'll need one. Probably my other two huge ventures but not IM stuff, I believe most of it can be passive and automated if you really want to.
6. No mindset, just a dumbass and an asshole tbh. My advise as always is just do it, fail and learn after think how you'd do differently. If you can't do it differently do it better than others that give you an advantage of how you'll benefit better than others who already exist here. It can be service, support or quality. ( You can only choose one maybe 1 and half but not 2/3 out of them. )
Stay away, useless now. Maybe good in the past but not worth it anymore.

I am amazed by the people here. Who are helping each other giving and taking away from community.
I also started a little journey about IG . Freshly started and im a designer like you, running a local studio. But dealing with never ending demands from clients or poorly performing design staff is driving me crazy. I can totaly understand your initial drive for starting this industry. I am really curious about your regret actually, i have one guess. or i should say : i fear to have that one regret 2 years later. Anyway, after shuffling between different IM adventures, what do you think about your situtation now? does that worth your time and psychology? you were mad about your offline business and did u found what uve been looking for now? . thank you for sharing your time

Tbh, the forum there's a lot of people milk other newbies that I can see but I don't want to point anything out. My advice is not to believe everything you see on the forum, if it sounds to good to be true. Don't try to investigate, your curiosity will cost you to waste lots of time.
1. I saw your thread and you've already started, Good job on taking the initiative to start. Just hang in there.
2. My regret is that... Money doesn't matter as much when you lose the people closest to you. (I'm not saying someone died, but someone really important that I'm now a stranger with because of my hard grind) Well, it might be even better but it was quite painful at that point of time.
3. Now ? I don't do much things pretty much, venturing more into innovative ventures and business centric stuff instead of IM as IM is innovate really slowly and most of the stuff as you can see on the forum is "The more you spam, the more you earn". But there's a limit and of course humps that appear such as "Instagram".
4. Yea its worth it, because it's fun for me everytime I earn money via the internet. It just amuses me.
5. Yeah, I found it. Although my other ventures are online ventures rather than offlines.

To be honest, there's not much to say other than manually searching and getting related hashtags with achievable results rather than using those million post hashtags.
Use a phone to check the numbers, using a web/desktop won't be able to see it. Sure it is time consuming but however you don't need to get thousands, 30-50 is sufficient.
Another alternative is using paid stuff, you can google for it. It's pretty easy to find.
Yes and No. Depending how frequently you using it, using the same hashtags over and over again will have no effect as "IG" deem you as "Spam".
However if for example you've around 30-50 hashtags and you use 3-5 hashtags per photo and rotated it and doing some spintax. You can get lots of variation and it'll be much better and healthier.
Key is not to over use it, don't be those people who uses over 10 annoying hashtags.
