350-550 Followers, delays 25-35seconds, automation delay 5-12min.
My other 95 accounts have the same settings and age and did not get PVA'd. So who knows.

Always warm your accounts up, no matter how old they are, and warm them up more than once - as in after doing a mass unfollow, or a mass follow, of if the account has been asleep for longer than a week... ease into every action slowly...
This is my formula. Its slow, its boring, its NOT SEXY, but I've kept 100 accts with this method:
I start with 50-100 for 3 days, then 50-150 for 4 days, then 100-200 for 3 days, 175-275 for 3 days, 275-400 for 3 days, then 350-500 for 3 days.

293,000 Instagram Followers. +18,000 in the past 2 days. 6 of my accounts on different proxies (but same niche) have been hit twice now with PVA's. Lowering the settings even more.
From 0 to +100 followers on Pinterest, about +25 followers a day. Had to create an account with 13 Boards and 500 pieces of content. Spent 15 hours setting up 1 account. Way more work than I ever spent for any of the instagram acct's. Not sure what to expect, but heard it could be a key to improved SEO. giving it a go.

- Don't use aliexpress as an affiliate, dropship products it's more profitable this way
- Hire some full time help for order fulfillment and customer support (answering emails from customers)
- Create an alipay account, this way you only load it with funds for inventory every week or so instead of making tens of transactions a day
- don't casually post products, limit it to once a week and make it an exclusive offer with a 24 hour countdown, if you do it right, your followers will start anticipating it and waiting for it.
I'm working on something very similar, good luck man.

Great Advice regarding the dropshipping. Do you dropship directly from Ali, or hold inventory at your home?
I never thought of the 24-Hour countdown idea. That is a fantastic way to generate weekly buzz. Thanks for those ideas.

Just reached 300,000 Followers!
Most accounts now have 3K-4K followers each, with a handful in the 5K-6K

Dropship directly from Ali, always choose "ePacket" as the shipping carrier, gets to the customer in 12 days and sometimes less and it's very cheap. with that said always advertise FREE SHIPPING in your website and make sure people see it clearly.
Yes! do a countdown and make sure to keep it real so people will take you seriously, so more and more people will hop on your special offers each time because they know that once the 24 hours is over the price will actually increase.
Once last thing, with such a huge growing following you MUST build a re-targeting list.

Bundle of 50 Instagram Virgin from SSL Proxies - found them in the market place. About 2 accounts per proxy, but since I have 103 accounts, there are 3 groups of 3 accounts sharing a proxy.

ePacket, cool I'll look into that. How many products does your site have and is it all the same niche or several niches?

I've been really happy with one from the bhw market place, I think they're called XGC, so far I've ordered 25, 25, and 50 accounts from them and they're really fast to work with.
However a warning, not about them, but about the whole FollowLiker/MassPlanner process. Order the accounts when you will have a block of free time to immediately work on each account. The new accounts can go bad in a few days if they're just sitting there in your email box. XGC is very good about honoring dead-on-arrival replacements, but only within 24-48 hours.
These accounts must be logged into, have some activity, I usually replace the photo for the niche (have a list of niche's ready!), replace the username (make a list of usernames ideas!), niche-appropriate bios (have these ready too), and last of all about 3-20 top notch photos. In many cases IG asks me to verify again over the phone and/or email....
anyways what I'm getting at is once the accounts arrive you may end up spending 30min to 1-hour per account to setup. 100 accounts = 50-100 hours

Theres a number of ways to scrape photos. FL and 4Kstogram scrape Instagram, theres others that scrape tumblr, flickr. I save them to my google drive, and link it to the VPS that massplanner runs on. MassPlanner posts 1-2 photos each day on all the accounts.

I'm shooting for 1 Million followers first which at the current rate should be around mid April. I have 4 digital products I've been developing since September which should be ready by then (I have outsourced this). The products will sell for $1 to $5.
This gives me time to setup:
1. The website with direct links to buy + writing a number of blogs to improve SEO
2. Youtube channel + video (did you know it takes a whole month with a minimum 100 subscribers before you can get your own custom youtube name? otherwise your youtube name looks like /channel/as7868as7d6sa/yourvideo)
3. Youtube videos - Learning After Effects now to play around with some cool templates.
4. Pinterest Boards with a similar strategy to the IG accounts.
