Current best practices

• Read about bots on BHW, awesome information
• I've set up a VRM on Amazon to run levpasha's instabot from github (seems up to date, so i assume it's solid)
• I made a new account and I ran the bot for about 48 hours. Resulting in about 75 followers. I posted 15 images in that time frame. I did experience a few hours being unable to comment/post images with hashtags, I assume the reason was spamming.
• Researching hashtags for the new accounts I want to create
• Purchased a prepaid SIM to register new accounts on. I'm wondering if Instagram won't check the IMEI (?). I don't want other personal/work accounts to be associated should anything go wrong.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to grow a few modest Instagram accounts on various niche topics that i'm interested in myself. It's not really a commercial endeavor. 5k~10k range is my aim. I'd like to know what resources I should reference to be sure I don't make any stupid mistakes starting out botting.

Steps that I have taken thus far:

• Read about bots on BHW, awesome information
• I've set up a VRM on Amazon to run levpasha's instabot from github (seems up to date, so i assume it's solid)
• I made a new account and I ran the bot for about 48 hours. Resulting in about 75 followers. I posted 15 images in that time frame. I did experience a few hours being unable to comment/post images with hashtags, I assume the reason was spamming.
• Researching hashtags for the new accounts I want to create
• Purchased a prepaid SIM to register new accounts on. I'm wondering if Instagram won't check the IMEI (?). I don't want other personal/work accounts to be associated should anything go wrong.

One thing that I haven't been able to figure out yet is if there are really any good options for scheduling content. Any and all tips/tricks are appreciated. As someone just starting it's hard to distinguish outdated and current practices so I hope there are resources that are kept up to date.

Thanks in advance!
