For the next 30 days, I will be attempting this experiment with two accounts in the same niche posting similar style content using the same methods. The only difference between the accounts will be that one is set to run on a bot and one is to be done by hand. At the end of the 30 days, we should see if there is a difference between using a bot or going by hand.
Account 1: Bot
Niche: Food
Method: Follow/unfollow and likes
Posts: I am going to schedule 1-5 posts a day. Whatever hashtags I use I will use on the other account as well
I will update the daily number of followers and overall engagement rate on this account
Account 2: By hand method
Niche: Food
Method: Follow/unfollow and likes. I will follow, unfollow, and like the same exact amount as the bot every day
Posts: I am going to set notifications on my phone to remind me when the other account has a post coming so things happen at the same time every day. I will also use the exact same hashtags
What I will not be doing
I will not be doing any comments, shoutouts/engagement groups, links in bio, DM's. Mostly because I don't want to do the comments or DM by hand. No links since this is not for money but for science. No shoutouts or engagement groups since I want it to all be organic traffic so they won't even be working off each other.
Please feel free to ask me any questions as this journey progresses. Should be slow to start as the accounts are brand new but as time progresses I am sure we will know more.
