Hey,
is that matters if you create account/s from different region, because for example, like you create account from Asia and when you search for particular accounts to follow you will notice that those followers are from Asian region and not from US or UK.
Is this happens? or I am mistaking?
How do I find people of particular region to follow or DM?
Good luCK!

Have you picked one main niche to work on? Will it be related to the content you post? One thing that has prevented me from building IG accounts was because I wanted to work around a niche first, and have closely targeted followers who are active in that niche. Problem is I havent thought of a good niche yet, but I see that you didnt plan this around any concrete niches when you started (correct me if Im wrong). Makes me realize I'm not losing anything by gaining a massive following while I think of a plan...
Anyway, I'm very curious how your monetization results will be in regards to a massive but loosely targetted following. Also very curious how you will start to advertise your dropshipping sites on IG without seeming spammy, and how (if at all) you will switch main focus of content to your niche, so I'm definitely following this thread. Congrats on your success so far and best wishes!

Started a new follow-cycle. Will hit a million followers in a week (I gain about 220K each cycle)!
1.Wordpress
So I just taught myself wordpress and woocommerce using Lynda.com courses. These are available on torrent, or just sign up for the free 10-day trial on Lynda (and can rip the course using chrome plugins).
2. I have a Greencloud Linux server just for the wordpress hosting, about $10 /month. I already have 3 domains hosted on it.
3. Just purchased WooImporter Plugin for Aliexpress (not AliPlugin, thats way more expensive). This allows me to easily import a soccer ball for $1.99, but charge $19.99 on my site. I will have to manually enter every order into AliExpress, but the profit margins are awesome compared to affiliate. Don't do affiliate.
That said, I will order every product through my own affiliate links, so I'm making profit twice
4. I'm testing out a micro-niche range of products that can be sold to ALL MY ACCOUNTS, even though they are all different niches. Without giving anything away, an example might be Food-related (every follower can relate to it), or Sleep-related (again relevant to everyone), or Vehicle-related (most people drive or ride in one)....
5. Its taken me a week to handpick 300 aliexpress products for the website. To qualify, products must be dirt cheap ($.50 to $4) and able to sell 500-1000% ($12 to $25). I'm also looking at products with good selling ratings (above 4.8 stars for most items). Also choosing things that are not likely to be returned (ie things that will break).
6. Shipping. Most of my items ship free, but will take 15-45 days. I may opt to pay the express E-Packet shipping which will take 5-15 days. This will eat into the profits a little bit, but will only cost like $3 on a $1.99 item that I'm selling for $19.00.
7. Its going to take me another week or two to adjust some of the product photographs. I'm a perfectionist and think its unprofessional to have a big fat chinese logo and serial # watermarking some of the images. Some of the images even have the aliexpress url address, grrr going to smudge those off the image.
8. PAYMENT - It seems all the woocommerce payment gateways cost the same. Is this true? If so, I'm opting to go with PayPal.
Hope to be up and running mid to end of July!

Nope. If you think about a shoutout - someone is paying you $500 a week x 52 weeks ($26,000) for an advertisement, because they will be making $5000 from each ad (5K x 52 = $260,000). I'd rather do the extra work and get the 260K. Also, followers don't want to see many shout-outs or they will unfollow, so better make each shoutout count and maximise profit.
Btw, as for my settings go, I notice each cycle I can increase safely by 50. Before I was getting dinged over 200 or 300 or 400, but I can now safely jump into 450-600 follows a day + 900-1300 Likes on 8-month old accounts. 3 cycles ago, I was at 350-500. Always listen to your accounts. Experiment with moderate settings, and push a few of them a tiny bit, they will tell you if its safe or hold back.

Mass Planner: (so not us
Which one should be ticket to get the highest probability of NON-Bot accounts / human and real accounts followed:
A normal person usually has under 1000 followers and followings. A bot has way more. So I follow people with less than <3000 followers and followings

Weird, my VPS had to do a random shutdown last night, and so missed 18-hours of following time. Oh well, this adds to the "randomness" that reassures IG that I'm not a bot. Real users take breaks all the time.
The plan is to have 1 Niche account with 1 link in bio, and all the other accounts (in niche or not) do shoutouts for Niche Account.
I may open up numerous different niche online stores this year (maybe 3-5), so I'll use 3-5 niche IG accounts, and have the other 100 shoutout the 3-5.
Quite a number of stories of accounts being banned for all sharing the same bio link. I don't want to risk it.

935,000 Followers Happy Fourth of July!
I'll hit 1 Million Followers by end of the week
40 Accounts are 10K Followers or more.
1 account is 16K, and its odd that it surpassed the older ones, but I think it was because of the name. I chose random High Quality names, and this one must have really hit home because I treated all the accounts equally, not a single one is special. The 16K is in the same Posting Campaign as 20 other accounts. Names related to your niche matter - do some research.
Just purchased the "ShopKeeper" WordPress/WooCommerce Template. Attempting to train myself how to edit it. But I love the way it displays large amounts of items for sale (300 of them). I would choose a different theme if I was selling fewer products.
Still waiting on my AliExpress Affilliate application. Its been over 2 weeks. I should have done this months ago, its free, doesn't require anything except your name, but was too busy. Affiliate isn't necessary, but will give me an additional 2-3% profit on top of my markup.
Now need to get on PayPal and register my LLC name.
I haven't made a single dime yet, and I reckon I've spent about $1,000 USD over the last 9 months so far, not to mention the 100-1000s of hours of my own personal time. I haven't outsourced anything yet except for a few Fiverrs to setup my linux, wordpress, woocommerce, cloudflare setup + and another Fiverr to give my aged Reddit Accounts 2000 Karma points (no clue if I will ever use these, keeping these just in case)
Lets see if the Tortoise wins the race! haha
Happy 4th!
