[Journey]Road to a Instagram empire

Aha, now I understand No, but I tried with a link to youtube, but never got a PV to test it. But I have gotten multiple accounts banned before without a link, so I'm pretty sure its the PV-service or the quality on some of the accounts. When I got banned because of the link it happened straight away, no PV but disabled instantly.

Ah, so it might be because of the proxy or phone number. Keep testing because if it is because of the proxy, then you need another provider.

How often do you think its normal do get banned after PV? I didn't think my ban numbers was high at the moment, but if its possible to get it down to zero then I will keep experimenting a bit more.
I agree it could be both the proxies and the PV-service. I can't do much about the PV tho, I don't want to buy simcards and I guess all the PV-providers are the same(+86 or +7 numbers). I'm currently using +86 numbers, had no luck with +7 at the early testing phase.

+7 is from russia, +86 is from china.

I usually get only a few bans after pv, also not sure why. I don't remember the ratio. My proxies and numbers are from the same provider.

Excellent stuff bro, quite encouraging. Are you on skype?

Thanks

I only have my private skype accounts, I don't like to use that for BHW stuff. Sorry. But if there is anything I can help you with just ask me here or shoot me a PM

UPDATE:

Yesterday went pretty good, I added links to about 20 accounts successfully and I can already see some improvements even tho the accounts is still on warmup. Today started out good aswell with 11 clicks and 3 conversions, the EPC is a lot better than yesterday so I might just beat the record again, you will find out tomorrow

The bad news:
I woke up to 11 banned accounts! 10 accounts from the same niche and 1 from another niche. I still have active account in the niche I got 10 accounts banned. No clear pattern to the bans, so my guess is that some of the other people using the proxies fucked up, yes I am using semi dedicated proxies.

The good news:
I learned that I was paying way to much for my semi dedicated proxies. I paid more for 100 semi dedicated proxies then I would have to pay for 200 dedicated proxies from another provider! It sucks, but again, I found a way to cut down costs and even get more proxies. I already ordered 50 dedicated proxies to test. Not sure if I will continue using the semi dedicated proxies until the end of the month or if I should just trash them right away.

Current status in MP:
Full speed: 5
Warmup with link: 11
Warmup w/o link: 56

I got a new list of accounts from the provider after the batch of banned accounts. This batch is not already banned, but the quality is really bad. I instantly get PV and after PV I get instantly banned. I'll talk to my provider again.

25 accounts are ready for links today, so I will add one to them all today.

This day is just getting worse.. Im down to 3 active accounts, the rest got banned... But atleast I have 140 accounts on warmup and 48 accounts I have to verify with email first.

I have decided to stop using HMN for PV, and after 3-4 hours of research, try and fail I finally found a way to PV with US numbers. 100% success rate so far after PV'ding 30 accounts! And it's just as fast as HMN.

I will also try to warm up my accounts for a bit longer. For the last accounts I was using a cloaker and still got banned, so I guess it's not because of my links? So confused at the moment. What do you think?

Today's stats so far is 14 clicks and 4 conversions = $1,25

You should try adding links to known websites, facebook.com, google.com, etc and check if you still get bans.

1. Add link to google.com
2. Wait a few hours to see what happens
3. Add link to your lp
4. Banned? Then the issue is your link/lp probably

Who is you phone verification provider?

How much have you spent thus far? Also, is your IG provider from BHW?

Rough start but keep your head up and push through the beginning is always the worse, and dump those semi dedicated proxies and suck it up and pay for dedicated proxies from one of the suppliers in the marketplace also maybe warm the accounts for a little longer

Great Work. it is really hard to maintain instagram account or it is really hard to alive all account. well done and keep going and keep updated this thread as per your increasing experience.

You will be succesful.Because you are trying different paces of account growing and earning,it will give you enough xp of what does what.It will help you.All the best.

Myself I guess. I found a pretty good method after hours of research! I will keep it for myself for now, but I'll share it as soon as I reach my goals

I have tried this and did not get banned, that's why I was thinking it was my link/lp. But then all of my accounts should've been banned. I started using profile pictures, maybe that's the reason? I copy one picture a bunch of times and change the MD5 on all pictures with Hashmanager, thought that should be enough tho. Also tried cloaking my link so Instagram gets redirected to youtube but got banned, so that's saying it should not be the link..

I guess about $150-200. I get my accounts from both @thetraveller and 247accs.com.

Thanks As I said, I have already bought dedicated proxies and it was cheaper than my semi dedicated I use both atm so see if there is any difference.

Thanks I will keep you all updated! I refuse to give up that easy, IG will have to push me way down before I give up.

Thanks I'm still in the early stages, learning something new every day! But at the same time I also get more and more confused every day! Haha!

When I was doing IG few months ago I concluded that it came down to proxies + how the accs were created - also, don't use over 8 or so accounts with very similar names. For example get.free.followers.a, get.free.followers.b

I once got massbanned and the accs used these type of names (over 10 accs) but when I had the same type of names in another niche but less than 10 "same type of names" on the same proxies the other niche accs were, everything else also the same, they survived for over 3 months.. still going.

I am like 98% sure that was the reason for the mass ban I occurred.

Btw: how much did you spend on the banned 60 domains? :S

I will try not to change the username and profile picture to see if that makes any difference. 60 domains= $60. Im not 100% sure they are blacklisted yet, it could just be my LP. I will try to use them again later on. But for now I don't pay for my domains

Ah, then it might be the link.

Changing the hash of an image is useless. I know that because I was constantly posting the same image on several accounts and then from one moment to another, the image was posted but after a few seconds it disappeared. I changed the hash using that program but the problem didn't go away. I try adding black parts to the image and only after modifying 20%+ of the image, it was posted successfully. Same thing applies for profile pictures.

@karupoiss is right, you shouldn't use very similar usernames/names/bios in several accounts. It will lead to mass bans.

Use spintax for bio and different usernames/names like freeinstagrafollowers, getfreefollows, wegivefreefollowers. Then mix them with numbers.

The goal is to make each account appear to be managed by a different person.
