First 25 accounts, need help with targeting.

Hi guys, I'm new to IG and 1 month ago started out with 25 accounts 3-4 months old from buyaccounts.
Went to a few public places, turned a few computers into "residential ip proxies", all working good, I get around 100 followers/day/account using jarvee. At night the public computers close so do my proxies, no biggie its all natural this way.
Ok, so here's my problem. Tried to monetize this for a freelance designer friend of mine. Followed small business related accounts and advertise his services to business owners. Hundred of clicks on the website but not one order even if he starts from $100 and has an impressive portfolio.
What am I doing wrong? How to target people that need graphic design? I dont know how to get the word out for his design services, any ideas how tor each that audience? Except business owners I cant think of anybody else that might need his services, it looks like a hard limited niche for me lol.
Thank you!

Maybe change the ad way,
try to ad in a way where the customer is invited to come on the website,
where he can create his own ideas.
By combining the different unique types of the lay outs.
Which your friend is offering.

Hope I helped.
Good luck.

follow your competetors followers. Look out for profiles of other graphic designers and target their followers and you should be good.

And yes the niche has a very limited reach when it comes to selling graphic design services locally since you have limited area, limited audience and above all professionals are approached only when they're required.

Maybe offer a free consultation first, it will increase conversion I think

Thank you for your inputs.
@proxified I have avoided following other graphic designers because the majority of their followers are most likely people interested in arts and design and not business owners and startups interested in buying design services. I will probably have to offer free stuff to get better conversions but its hard to find the right people at the right time when they are in need of graphic design.

only other way out for graphic design is work for publicity. use deviantart to display your work. do alot of small free jobs and ask for reputation on upwork/fiverr for exchange. Post story on your IG for free quick logos for businesses. Try to make it viral through different means. Ask businesses for mentions against a free logo. Conduct contests and more.
