[Journey] 10 days with Instagram

Introduction
Hi, i have decided to start a 10 day journey with instagram on a new account that i created yesterday. This will be a short journey as I do not have a lot of time on my hands to create these things and a short journey is much easier to start with than a 30 day journey for example.

What will I do?

I will the following ten days follow, unfollow and like people and pictures in my chosen niche. I have chosen a niche with a lot of activity and this niche is also a passion of mine, which I think is a good thing as I will know what my followers want. I might continue the journey if the results are good. I seem to have chosen a good niche with high follow back rate.

No Botting

I will do this journey with no botting at all. There will only be manual actions. I do run many accounts on bots, however I am excited to see the result of doing things manually as they will be more natural than a bot (mayby). I will update this journey once per day.

My Theory

I think that with this method I will gain a lot more followers a lot quicker than when using an actually bot. I will spend about 1 hour on the account in total per day and so what the result. So here we go!

So Day 1 i posted 46 pictures to make the account look like it had some content. I posted quality content. As you can see below my follow back rate today was freakin 40%. I have never experienced this while botting. I might have just been lucky on my niche tho. Anyways happy with the result from day 1. I spent around 1,5 hours on this account today. Added a funny bio quote to my account also.

Thanks! Seems like it!

Id say 5-7K followers as long as i don't get blocked by instagram because i have followed a lot of people to begin with. heh
 
All the best man. try to follow more good real people. surely u get new followers............
 
So today i posted just one picture but it got over 100 likes. Good or bad for having almost 1k followers? What do you think?:) Didnt follow as many today because im afraid to get blocked by instagram but got a decent amount of followers anyway.

I have followed a total of 2242 in two days, hah. I also use my wifi network for like 30 other accounts, (non botting) accounts. With everything from 300k followers to 20k followers. And i have never gotten a ban :S
 
Follow back rate really depends on niche as i observe. My follow back rate in 900 follows is just playing 150 to 200 a day. and in my other acc. 300 to 500 a day. :)

How do you plan do monetize your account tho?

Good luck on your Journey Bro!

Yeah seems like it depends alot on the niche:) Right now i don't have any plan on monetizing it, i do alot of other stuff than instagram so i am doing this as i still have some spare time in my day :) I guess i would sign up for an affiliate network in my niche, create a landing page and monetize through that, mayby ill do it later if the account grows up to around 30-50k :)

IMO 10% is pretty average when it comes to followers and like ratio. Mines hover between 20%-35%. :p
 
So today i posted 1 picture which got 150 likes and about 10 comments. My follow back rates are increasing up to the surprisingly 46%. Next goal is to get follow back rate to 50%, which i personally think is an awesome follow back rate. I can reveal one slight tip on why i think the follow back rate is so high:

When i follow people, i don't use hashtags, i follow users on a popular account in my exact niche, and when i follow people, i follow the ten first on the list everytime i open up to their followers, because these 10 are most likely on instagram at the moment i follow them. Thats my theory atleast :)

Good luck son looking forward on seeing your progress with this.
 
Congratz on the such high followback rate so early in the account. It was a smart move to fill the account with 40+ pictures before starting to mass follow people.

It took me quite some time (about until i had 15k followers) to bring my followback rate up to above 40% so you should look into making this a journey that lasts longer than 10 days. Sure you mentioned you don't have a lot of time on your hands, but you also mentioned it's something passionate about. Even if you have to bring a bot into the equation, it's worth keeping the account going.

Anyways,
Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for your insight, i think i will keep doing it seeing as i have had good results so far. I probably will continue however i will have to bring a bot into the equation if i am, as it is pretty time consuming to do it this way.
 
Day 4 is over and it enden at 2128 followers. Was hoping for 50% follow back but it is only at 47%, still a good number tho. My aim for these 10 days will be between 6-7K followers as when i reach 7500 follows i will have to start unfollowing :/ Which will slow down following alot. DARN! Happy with the results so far.
