Buy or grow a new account?

elPimps · Jun 8, 2020

Hi all!
I decided to diversify my activity in main account (general photography) + only wedding account.
Wedding is a small niche and there aren't many (if nothing...) accounts with real follower and good ER to buy.

So my question is...
Is it worth to WAIT and buy a growth account (in wed niche of course) or do you think that with good advertising and growing methods i could spend less money with better results in a short time maybe?
My goal is to have in the shortest time possible a 10k followers account...

Thanks for your feedback

another option could be to repost and use top noch photo instead of mine in niche with a fake account name so i could make 2-3 post a day and increase the speed of growth
After this i could delete all the content, change the name with mine, and start publishing only my work

It surely wont be cheap to get real followers on wedding account i think...
But buying account... dont know, not good idea i think

if it's a small niche I think you can buy old account (on the same niche) not many people will realise if you change the username (to your brand name), it's up to your budget if you can afford to buy one then just buy it, so you can focus on another things. But you have to be careful, because many seller using SMM Panel passive follower/likes for boosting their account and get profit from it.

Almost all old accounts were killed by improper promotion methods, they have very little interest and active subscribers. The Instagram algorithm is intended for the interested audience, and not for its quantity. Creating a new account takes longer, possibly more money, but with the right promotion it will be cleaner.

Create by yourself make your brand name to marked which means work on that.. don't buy any old one that is not fair

Thanks for the replies!
I actually created an account in wedding niche but not with my brand name and/or my photos.
It's actually growing using (and tagging) other content (wedding photos) follow/unfollow on very active (in niche) users + likes and story viewing (all manual).
I'll wait 2-3k goal then i'll stop posting, maybe i'll wait 1-2 weeks, removing all the content and following, changing handle name and bio and starting posting my real content (maybe starting with 3 posts/day to populate che acc...).

In this way i'll start branding with 2-3k real audience and continue with real people interested in my brand and content (it's the same quality of what i'm posting right now, so i'm not worried

)
I'll continue the follow/unfollow (until 10k let's say) and in the while i'll start a story/feed promo with great video/static content and a/b testing.

Maybe in the future i could create a mother/child network, but in this moment i'm not thinking about it very much...

If I were you, I would already create a mother/child method (a simple one)...
You have to grow a brand, so create a acc and f/u or do whatever you want, and use this acc for redirect for the main one, just try to make your brand profile looks like a one (clean), this the hard way but in the future will worth!

Buy an aged account with 5K+ fanbase and grow. Use F/UF until you get to 10-20K.

The only wedding account i found in 1 month of research (googling and in bhw forum) was an from a seller who didn't want to attach the OGE...
I got bored on searching something nobody was selling, so i started a fresh one.

What do you mean with a "simple one"?
I know that a valid method is creating a network of 10-20 child accounts, but for wed photography isn't that simple to redirect all the traffic to the mother's one... unless sharing my photos every 3-4 published (something like a shoutout).

Well, I agree that it's pretty pricey to buy a popular Instagram account, so I advice to use some Instagram Ads instead and buy ads from popular bloggers. That's a really smart move, because you can also promote that exact blogger and it's gonna be for free for both of you.

You got it figured out.
