Hello everyone! I am Steven B, and after a few days of lurking in the IM Journeys subforums, I've decided to start my own journey. This will be the Instagram + OGAds journey of an IM newbie.

What I'll be doing

I will be making Instagram accounts, growing them, and placing my affiliate links in my bio. You know, all that typical stuff.


How I'll tackle it

Right now, I have only one IG account that I'm growing. After I grow this to about 200 followers, I will create two new accounts in the same niche. If I reach a total of 1k followers in this niche, I will scale it up even more. After scaling to about 5 accounts, each with at least 2k followers, I will add another niche to what I manage. If I don't however, I will stop and use a new niche.

You may ask why I'm only reaching for a small amount of accounts. This is because I'll be doing a semi-blackhat semi-whitehat strategy, if that even is a thing. I'll be automating the follow/unfollow/like process, but I'll be posting the images manually so that I can still edit them and whatnot. This is still pretty risky on my part though, as I am not using proxies at the moment (don't have enough spare money to invest).

Why I created this journey


If I share my journey, I will feel obligated to update it. In turn, I will also feel obligated to grow and progress to keep up with the expectations of those following this journey. In short, I created this journey so that I will be motivated and keep trying to progress. Less procrastination!

What my goals are

Right now, I aim to get at least a stable $1 a day. It's not much, but it's a start. After this, I will scale up. This will also be an endless journey. I will aim to keep scaling bigger and bigger, and these milestones will just keep me motivated even further.

1st Goal: $1/day [X]

2nd Goal: $2/day [X]
3rd Goal: $5/day [X]
4th Goal: $10/day [X]
5th Goal: $20/day [X]

If you have any tips or suggestions for me, please leave a reply! Words of encouragement are also welcomed. :)

I'd say for starting out, today was pretty good. I'm hoping to get more conversions tomorrow, though.
 
Good luck with this thread and your goals.

Work hard and you will reach your first goal easy!
 
Good luck. What proxies are you using? How are you creating accounts?
Thank you

Thanks! I'm not using any proxies, just my own residential IP. I'm creating them the whitehat way; through the Instagram app.

Good luck with this thread and your goals.

Thank you!

Day 2 Progress Report:

Instagram:

1st Account: 102 followers; 336 following

OGAds:
2 clicks; 0 conversions;

I let my account rest for today since my first LP got blocked. I'll be following again tomorrow, so I expect more conversions tomorrow. Starting from now, I'll only update when something more significant happens.
 
Hello, are you using ogads landing pages on your own domain or personal LPs?

I've had 0 clicks and conversions today. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also a low amount of follow blocks. I'll probably change my filters and the accounts that I'm scraping. Maybe that'll give me more luck.

EDIT: Actually, maybe the low number of accounts is the problem. I'll maybe create more accounts tomorrow, age them up a few, and then grow them as well. Who knows?

You have to use at least 5 accounts to see some progress,
Sure, one account will give you some time results, but to earn 1$ per day, use 5 accounts and more
 
Day 7 Progress Report:

Instagram:
1st Niche:
1st Account: 215 followers; 868 following;

2nd Account: 72 followers; 521 following; (probably shadowbanned)
2nd Niche:
1st Account: 97 followers; 682 following;
2nd Account: 61 followers; 530 following;
3rd Account: 77 followers; 483 following;
4th Account:
58 followers; 528 following;


OGAds
9 clicks; 3 conversions; $1.41;

As you may have noticed, I've made 5 new accounts; 1 for my 1st niche and 4 for my 2nd niche. I did this to test out what I'm doing wrong and to know what I can improve. I only have a vague idea of my mistakes and why my websites weren't converting, so I will use the following days to prove that idea. I'm pretty happy with my earnings today, as I've reached $1. I'm not expecting it to be stable though, because people are more active during the weekends. I'll wait until Monday and compare it with my Friday stats to see the real difference. Wish me luck!
