Hey guys,
Welcome to my journey. I'm starting this thread to track my own progress as well as share some tips I've picked up along the way. A little about me, I've been doing IM for 4 years now just as a hobby and as a way to earn some spending money. Some of my previous successful methods I've found have been CPA + YouTube, selling info products, affiliate blog + reddit traffic, and most recently Shopify + Instagram.
However, the niche that I started in was super competitive, but was something I just wanted to try for fun (clothing/streetwear/sneakers). Now, I am starting 2 new accounts and will try and monetize them after they reach a nice following. It is my belief you do not need a massive following to earn money on Instagram. My previous account had only ~2,000 followers and I was making about $1,000 in revenue per month.
Current stats:
Account 1: Started on November 16th, 425 followers + average 100 likes a photo
Account 2: on September 20th, 2020 followers + average 375 likes a photo
Each account I post once a day, at around 11am EST.
Bot settings:
Follow/Unfollow: 500 a day
Likes: 500 a day (like latest picture of people I follow)
I never go over 1,000 following. I think it makes accounts look spammy.
Currently gaining around 100+ followers a day with these settings
Monetizing Plan:
Right now I do not want to get caught up in the holiday buying craze, I want consistent, stable revenue. I also want to grow each account a bit more before I start monetizing. I will probably not start monetizing until early-mid January.
So that's my journey. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll try and post updates as frequently as possible.

I think a lot of people overestimate how many followers you need. All you need is a niche with a dedicated following.
