Hi everyone,

I need your opinion on some growth hack strategies to grow Instagram accounts.

I am currently doing follow/unfollow which works but slowly and I would integrate the following:

  1. -Mother/slave. Any advice on how to use this strategy at the maximum capacity?
  2. -Mass DM via a bot (I developed one) but I am not sure about this. Is the account mentioned in the DMs marked by Instagram?
  3. -Comment on specific tags. Is this worth it?


Also, do you have any other method that can help me boost my daily followers without buying fake followers?

Thank you guys!

I've been reading a lot on this as well, you need to get your proxies in order if you're going to do 1-2 on your own.

Thanks.

If I do option 2, DMs from a slave account mentioning the mother account, could this penalize the mother account or is totally safe?

I'm definitely no expert when it comes to this, It's very new to me as well. But from what I understand, an account mentioning the mother account separately, unless hundreds of people report/black the mother account, I don't see how there could be exposure.

I think the same...

Is there anyone else who is using growth strategies on IG?

It would be nice to hear from you too guys! :)
 
Mass DMs in my experience are best utilized for lead generation of mid-ticket service clients. It's not an ideal method for growth due to its churn-and-burn nature. I'm personally running story reactions which in my opinion is way more effective than F/UF. You can safely only follow like 200 people per day whereas you can interact with close to a thousand stories per day without getting action blocked. You also remove the possibility of wasting your limited actions on either dead or botted accounts given that very few bots used for propping up follower counts would ever be posting stories consistently.
 
Post a lot of viral style reels, you can get them from tiktok.

Interesting.

Are you also replying to their storying or only liking it?

Only liking; replying would result in a DM action which will significantly lower your action limits and how many targets you'll reach per day.

Sounds good.

What about the FBR? So I'll try to make some math and combine it with other strategies!

Thank you!

It's significantly lower than what it is for F/UF but when you look at the larger picture, a 20% fbr from 200 follows per day underperforms a 5% fbr from 2,000 story likes per day.

That's true.

Only issue is that in most cases, we're capped at 2,000 daily actions now. Since past 2 months, people keeps talking about it, each marketer reselling it at high scale on each social media website, well, you guess what can happen next.

Instagram already stepped onto it and in most cases actions limits went from daily 30k some time ago, to 2k a day since a few days. In my opinion it's still worth it, but as I keep telling people since months about this strategy, prepare a plan B because I wouldn't be surprised if limits would /2 or even more in the upcoming weeks / months.

True but I suppose that's a given for any sort of black hat strategy. It all comes crashing down in the end and you gotta build again from scratch. May as well just make the most of it while its still there.

What hourly limit rate are you using? Example: 50 Likes/Hour??
Also, are you running 24/7 or are you only running at certain times of the day?

So is the daily limit to like Stories currently at 1,000 or 2,000 using an aged main account?

Mentioning the mother account is safe, and the account will not get penalized.

Thanks all for the help!

Is there any other growth hack strategy I could use?

My goal would be to gain 100-150 followers without paid traffic.
