Hi guys! Long time no see. When I was around a few years ago it was very easy to just mass follow/unfollow people with a bot for my personal account.

I assume things aren't the same anymore..

Can someone give me some good tips on how to grow a personal account?

Is there a bot that can do follow/unfollow? Are there some any other tricks to grow?

Thanks a lot :)

There are no bots and no tricks. It's over.

If it's a PERSONAL account, best thing you can do is simply follow your friends, if you have any at all. Keep following people slowly. Comment on public profiles of people that are related to your city or social circle. Maybe do some shout outs. But other than this there isn't much you can do.

Have you personally tried botting and failed? If yes, then how you failed and what was your setup?

The question is : how fast do you want to grow (realistically) ?

If +30 followers a day looks fine to you, you may want to do some F/U with your account. It can be risky, so make sure to make it slow & smooth, but it won't cost much :)

yeah I'd say that's fine. I think I'll just slowly do f/u :)

Do you have any idea what the current limits are for daily following?
 
F/U is still the way to go for initial traction. Once you have some eyeballs focus on good content and you'll grow organically if you're getting good engagement from your initial followers.

No, but everyone is getting hit with action blocks. I do it manually and i got hit. Everyone is complaning about the same. You might be able to get some followers, but IG will eventually catch you.

Yup. That’s what I thought.
How many accs were you managing from single device? What was the number of actions with which you got blocked? Was the account old or new one?

Nothing for real accounts has changed so much.
You can still follow unfollow, comment, like. It will be there but if you try to spam hard then there will be nothing good.
 
be active. follow, unfollow, like, comment, post storys and stuff like that
upload reels
 
why would you want to grow a personal? never understood why people do it :D anyway, you can just follow unfollow manually. or bot it
 
Bots aren't effective anymore, I suggest that you post good contents at least 3 to 5 times every week, add some hashtags and ask your friends to share it in their stories to reach more people.

Dude, if i can't do it, nobody's gonna be able to do it. Not for long, at least. Why? My account is pretty legit. It's where i talk with my friends. It's where i meet girls. It's where i post pictures i take. I do everything manually. Just one account. I have another account, but i barely use it. I've been doing no more than 40 follows a day for years. And probably not even everyday. No problems at all. Maybe 20 likes. Sometimes not even that. I use no shady apps, no bots, no automation. Nothing. Nobody else uses my network but me. Since march, i'm no longer able to do what i've always done. I don't know exactly how many actions i can do, but i know the last time i did around 10 and got blocked, right after another block after maybe 20-30 actions for 4 or 5 days. I just can't do shit anymore. Oh, and i've had to send them a selfie video two times, plus around 10 other mail and phone verifications over a few month.

I'm sorry, but i think it's over.
 
M/S growth method should do fine for growth and engagement boost without risking your account but is more costly than F/U

Because successful personal accounts are by far the most profitable but botting is a complete waste of time. The only way to get real growth is organically through people sharing and tagging their friends in your posts/stories/reels. The only way that happens is if you have very interesting content.

Reels are probably the best way to grow right now but it has to be original and interesting content. IG black hat seems almost dead unless you’re selling accounts (but it’s slim profits these days).

Better to Focus on Organic Growth this will Last Forever & Bot and all rest Follower are always Fake !
 
First of all, you should ask yourself how quickly you want to grow. My advice is that you should not forget Reels. Focus on the content of the Reels and make something that is shareable. Make a connection with your friends or the local community with the content of your Reels. Surely, you will see good results.
