Me and a buddy started an instagram 6 days ago. And already have almost 900 followers. We havnt used any bots. We post 4-5 quality pics a day, search for certain hastags and follow those people and like those pics, and comment and stay interactive with our followers. A bot, when first starting out is not needed in my opinion. Starting out, if you try to shortcut it, it's going to end up short cutting you. Dont just be another instagram page. Interact with your followers and build trust. A bot is a tool to use. Not something that the whole foundation of your instagram should be built on. In my opinion.
