Hey, feel free to share your experiences here—maybe someone will find mine helpful and want to compare their approach with mine
New vs Aged
I haven’t noticed any difference in building reach or getting more views on Reels. It might take more time, but on my older account, I never got more than 200–300 views on Reels, whereas on my new account, I was able to get 500,000 views on the second day.
A lot of bans
Even when I got banned from Instagram a lot, I would usually create a new account the next day using the same IP address and phone, and with a little effort, I was able to get good reach without any trouble. Once, right after I created an account, they actually banned me, so I reset my phone to factory settings and everything was fine
My TIP:
This is a bit philosophical. Instagram couldn’t let all users achieve massive reach because we’d end up with billions of accounts with huge followings. My unconfirmed theory is that some accounts are doomed to fail from the start. I know this is a controversial opinion, but I stand by it, and if I see that a new account isn’t performing well, I know I have to abandon it so I can create a new one in five minutes, post a similar reel, and get a ton of views on it the next day. Maybe it’s also a matter of posting the reel at the perfect time, down to the second, with the ideal test group.
I know that if I hadn’t used this method and stuck with the first accounts I created, I would never have been able to grow them to the same extent as others. I just wait three days; if it doesn’t go viral, I delete it and create a new one.
