Instagram Roadmap to 10K

Good job brother. Question, are the followers follow for follow? Personally I'm seeking followers because they're a fan of the content I'm posting. My ratio is approx 700 to 100. What's yours?

Thanks! Yeah but I've been looking at the pages that are in my niche: I go to the page with good engagement and follow people who liked a photo. It's been going pretty well for me since the audience is very active and it minimises the number of bots. The ratio is a bit more than 2(1000 followers to around 450 following).

This day was really explosive for my account, especially with doing everything manually. Posted two pictures and both of them got over 100 likes. Considering also the fact that most of the likes came from followers. Hopefully it stays the same way, since I didn't spend way too much time on the Instagram, just logged in during different times for around 10 min max.

Good job! Now just keep at it and in the long run you will reap the benefits!

Thank you man! It actually keeps me more interested when I'm doing everything myself, going to update stats for today soon

Everything looking good so far. Apart from one thing: it would really be beneficial to have an app that hides people whom you previously followed. There is one but it doesn't work, so for now, every time I have to search for new accounts.
 
Followliker is a great tool for instagram, I am going to buy unlimited license soon and get this empire built!!
 
Hope you can reach the 10K with Instagram. Good luck!

Got myself a follow ban :D
that advice for 400-500 follows per day wasn't that good I guess :) In any case going to continue with around 100 follows per day for now. Gonna be at a slow pace but better that than nothing)

Hi, how many ppl you follow daily (after the ban)? What is your follow back ratio?

Tbh I am back to the previous level of around 500 people a day but this is only due to me using the official Instagram app and doing everything manually. At least 3-4 people out of 10 follow back. Sometimes even more. Hope it helps!
 
Update for 04/05
Followers: 1303 (Increase of 253).

Going pretty well in my opinion. Really engaging audience, which stimulates me to go for more :)

Editing for more precise numbers:
Total followers count now is 1354, an increase of 304.

Great progress! I'm going to keep an eye on you for motivation. I just started 2 accounts last week and tried doing the manual method. Too slow for my liking. I had a couple questions if you don't mind!
I just bought FL and 5 proxies to scale a bit. Are you back to using FL or still laying low? I had planned to go one day on and one day off. I'm new to instagram so I was wondering if I'll raise flags if I'm jumping from proxies one day to my phone the next? Should I invest in extra sim cards?

Thanks a lot and good luck with your accounts as well! I am not using FL for now. Not really sure if I will come back to it in the nearest future. You can use it everyday and avoid getting banned or can get banned whilst using it every other day. The main point is in your settings - start as low as possible and slowly increase your settings. This way you will ensure that if you hit a limit, it won't affect you for too long. As for jumping from proxies to the phone I am not entirely sure since I've never used them. If it helps you, I've never had a problem using FL and my phone at the same day even if the two were on different networks.

Really enjoying it tbh. Not much to add. Followers are active, good engagement. I see pages sometimes with 4-5k followers and same number of likes as on mine.

Excellent progress brother! Question, how many hours a day would you spend manually increasing your followers? Also would you mind sharing your following/following numbers so I can compare it to mine? I'm currently approx 1000/80. My follow rate not as high as yours but I'm not doing follow for follow.

Thank you! Tbh I don't have any plans yet. Probably will do paid shoutouts but I think I'm still too far from that :)
 
You can follow 500 people a day ?
Manually,with the iphone app i would be blocked after ~100 in a day
Maybe because i go too fast?

Will include how many people I follow every day. At the moment I have around 557 people whom I'm following but that is just for now. Later on I will delete them, when I have reached the desired figure plus I delete some of them in the evening. As for the time I go online for 10 minutes and this is spread out throughout the day. I'd say an hour to an hour and a half in total. Sometimes I do not go on the instagram itself. I have found an app called Unfollowers for Android. It allows me to keep track of people whom you have followed before and hides their accounts.

Yeah, but now there's another limit by instagram - you can follow 50 people and then you have to wait certain period of time. How old is your account?
 
Awesome !!!! I just started a new account and I follow 50ppl every hour for 8 ours so 8 times.. and I am uploading like 6 pictures every day.. lets see how it goes.. wish you good luck ! :) Oh btw.. you just like pictures and sometimes comments right? how many pictures do you like in order to get so many followbacks?
