IG Marketing is dead!!

Literally biggest platform for advertising, once you hit the right amount of organic followers you're on your way to making good money. You sound very much like a person who may have failed at understanding how IG works and what are its secrets.

Okay so after writing this out to update the post it was not posted as for some reason there’s a time limit on editing a post??! So here’s me writing all this out again.

and unfortunately it wont be on the actual thread op.

I don't think it's dead, it's just became more challenging. Good chance to rule out bad players.

We all know there are easy ways to generate profit with ig, yes we can offer shoutouts and make a couple dollars for accounts with decent engagement rate and 10k+ followers, yes we can build accounts up to have 10k followers and sell them for around $50.



But with regard to automation and realistically this is the way most of us aim to generate leads as it makes it scalable, what I have recently found with the IG algorithm update is that there are now several issues. These issues mean that unless you use accounts 5yrs+ that have existing followers, using expensive proxys, and warm the account up for a month doing basically little to no actions. Then you will find your accounts blocked. Things have changed a lot since I wrote my guide on using massplanner around 4 years ago, and it seems now that it is not cost effective. I have tested various proxys and account ages but still find even after warm up that once a link is added the account is banned usually around 24hrs after.

I use FollowPlanner and GMT2 and my accounts are still fine. Using slow settings though yes, but that's fine for now.

Report / dm’s etc are also not operational on the accounts, in fact I currently run 52 accounts, and I have tested posting and dm’s on around 35 accs - when this happens no post is made but the acc requests sms pva - the issue with this is most online sms providers allow one use of the number, but ig saves this number to the account so when it asks to sms ova again your stuck without the number and loose the account. As I said before I have used various proxys and account ages but only one account is currently doing successful repost and this is one I created myself from my phone 3 years ago. After multiple case studies I am beginning to come to the conclusion the mouse has beat the cat at least for the time being until/if jarvee catchup.

For PVAs it's true that accounts ask more often. That is the reason I do not use SMSPVA or other crap like this. I buy my own 1$ SIM cards, which cost a lot in $$ and management. I have few devices and organise the SIM cards with labels so I can quickly switch on them.

The only thing I haven’t tried yet is mobile 3g/4g proxys but these are very expensive and again I find it hard to calculate cost efficient planning with these. Regarding alternative automation software: next post and velar are not cost effective at all! Gmt2 is the same as jarvee pretty much so the issues reside across both platforms.

I don't think bots are the issue as you said, IG is just taking more action now. A userbase of millions is computationally very difficult to analyse, so there will always be ways of making IG not bother with your account. Just need to be more careful, patient and paranoid.

So, feeling very demotivated after the last couple months of bans and link removals, I wanted to hear what your thoughts are.

p.s when did all the jerks arrive on BHW things seem to have changed a lot on here too, wanted to spark a good conversation but just got trolled.

Many of my friends earn decently selling shoutouts, they don't even know about this forum and since your here, with a ton of information you're in a right place, twits your method or switch to other platforms.
