Hello everyone. I run an agency and following the past few months of Instagram combating automation, it seems that this Instagram section is full of pointless questions and no value actually been given.

While I understand this is a black hat forum, there are pretty good white hat methods if you need to get results for clients.

I'll start with talking about content marketing:

Specifically: hashtags.

So, how can you generate an extra 10K impressions per week?

I call it the hashtag snowball effect.

A lot of people might have heard of it, but this will be extremely useful for those who haven't. Essentially, you're going to want to go ahead and research hashtags in your niche.

You need to find:

10 hashtags with 10-30K posts
10 hashtags with 30-50K posts
10 hashtags with 50-150K posts

So, how does this help? Assuming your ER isn't 0 and you get at least 200+ likes, you should easily be able to rank on the hashtags with 10-30K posts.

This in turn will generate some extra engagement. Not much because they're small hashtags, but enough to give your post the momentum it needs to rank on those hashtags with 30-50K posts.

You might see where this is going now. Those 30-50K post hashtags might then rank you on some of those 50-150K posts, which is where your content will gain a ton of engagement, and maybe even be boosted to go viral on the explore page.


I hope this helps some of you who are sitting around not knowing what to do. Black hat methods are not always the answer. White hat methods may seem slower but they WILL pay off in the long run.

If you have any questions then let me know and I'll get back to you.

Thanks,
Laurence
 
so I need to get 200+ likes to rank on 10--30K posts hashtags, that's it?

The thing is, the people that don't know this method need it to be spoonfed before they understand it.

To drive the idea home, it's 3 bands of hashtags that contain different sizes.

If you can't rank on a 10K hashtag then use smaller increments (5K, 10K, 20K), it's the same concept, and clearly not everyone's engagement ratio will work with what I've specified
 
tldr; Look up hashtags in your niche. Use them. Rank. $$$
Perhaps try emphaphising with the fact that there will be a lot of people here slapping on 1Mil post hashtags and wondering why they're not ranking??
 
Yeah, I am doing this consistently. Driving like 5k reach to an acccount with 1k followers. Around 40% ER on the account.

Growth is slow though this way, around 20 follower if it's a really good post, otherwise like 2-5.
 
Good to read something new when it comes to Insta, never dabbled much but I am gonna bookmark this!
 
hey nice tips, can you show me instagram account using this method? thanks
 
My Instagram accounts are lying dormant somewhere. Got pissed off when automation became difficult. Nevertheless, its still one of the best places to get niche target traffic.
 
Thanks for the share! But where do you think automation is heading with Instagram cracking down on bots and everything?

I think it’s still possible, but Instagram won’t be able to make it fully impossible, because at that point they would be jeopardising instagrams current users experiences.

Their goal in all of these crackdowns was to eliminate spam (mass actions), and drive costs of automation up.

As you’re probably aware, as of now it’s very hard to automate without a 4G proxy (expensive), and the embedded browser setting (that requires more resources: more money), ect.

Truth is, Instagram doesn’t mind automation, it’s just the point where it becomes so cheap and easily accessible. That’s when people flock to using those methods instead of ads.
 
Choosing the right hashtags is essential for getting exposure on Instagram and you're doing almost exactly the same as what I do with hashtags.

Good tip!
 
What if I get only 1. - 10 likes what should I do
The thing about Instagram is that their entire algorithm is based off of data, it’s not just about having an incredibly high engagement rate.

So essentially, even if you have 10 followers and still get 10 likes, you’ll have a hard time gaining any exposure.

What I’d reccomend you to do is really grind out your first 100-500 followers, and make sure you don’t do any ‘spammy’ follow/unfollow, you’ll only be cheating yourself.

Build meaningful connections so that when your posts show up in your feed they won’t see it like a normal follower, they’ll think ‘I was DMing that guy x days ago, imma give it a like!’.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn’t be able to share you any of my own accounts unfortunately. Maybe try looking at some accounts in your niche on the explore page.

Thanks for the insight, I've often wondered how much is too much :)
