How do I automate an Instagram account?

Bill Sparrow · Oct 19, 2021

Hello to anyone reading this post!

I will develop custom bots for posting content on Instagram.

I plan to use Python + the requests library to build the bots. I've done something similar for other sites so I think it will be relatively easy.

I will grow each account from scratch by automating posts, comments and dm's.

For each account I will check your email and mobile number to avoid bans.

When I start making some profit with the program, I plan to host the program in the cloud (at first I'll run the program only on my computer), and just replicate what I've built as far as I can (without spending what I don't have).

I still don't know how I should make the posts, what I have in mind is:

Choose a niche for each account;
Find some sites/blogs from the same niche as the account;
Choose posts from these sites with the same subject;
Make 3(number chosen by me, I don't know how this affects account engagement) Instagram posts per day, with images and text snippets from several of these sites, so it doesn't look like I just copied it.

I had this project in mind for a long time, but after seeing that some members of this forum have already done something similar, I decided to stop being lazy and start this project.

If anyone notices that any part of the project is not on track, please point me out so I can think about it further.

This is kind of a draft, when I start to make some progress I will make new posts.

I haven't researched it yet. I think I can implement this with libraries in my code, I think it's something very important to lower the ban tack, but I think it shouldn't be too complicated.

Have you ever done something similar?

Lets see how far you get with your programming skills.
Best of luck op.

Good luck:

I would go with:

#1 Content reposts think there are apps for that.

#2 Follow/ Unfollow strategy.

These are things that work, so no need to reinvent the wheel.

I would first use existing tools for this purpose, for 2 months, yep it's quite
expensive minimum $200 but maintaining your own tool is also time-consuming,
+ need strong proxies etc...

And after that, if I saw that my idea works and bring income if it's a bigger one,
and if income covers expenses with nice ROI, I would stick with it without bothering
to make my own tool.

If there is income, but it's less than expenses, then I would try with trial and error to make
my own script which would be hosted on a cheap Ubuntu server.

Yes, I think the idea of copying posts from websites was lame.
I don't know if we can pass links from within the forum, but the EASY Way To Make Money For People Starting Out post and others like it are giving me an idea of what I can do.

In regards to reinventing the wheel it is a mandatory part of the plan.
I work developing automation tools. A program of this level with hundreds of functional accounts would put me way ahead of my competitors.
