Newb - Have I got this right?

Hi guys,

I've been a lurker and tried to get as much info as possible but now is time for me to post to double check some things.

I have a personal IG account which I want to leave as is for now, It's relatively new but I want to keep this separate from my tests.

My goal is to build a community page reposting some content but also including some original content too. Eventually the aim is to build this up and cross promote to my personal account.

So what I've gathered I need:

- New account / aged account with followers - what's the best bet here?

- Automation software - I'm thinking of going with FL or GMT2

- Proxy - so I'm only going to be doing this for one account but I also have an authentic IG account that posts from my home network every day - would I need a proxy to keep these separate? I have a VPN so I could try using this first and see how it goes (if it goes at all!)

- Content - I need to change the content slightly to ensure the Hash is different whether this be colour/size etc - correct?

- Paid Promo - Is it worth getting Fuelgram or something similar to boost onto the explore page or can I rely on F/UF to start up?

- With regards to posting from a mobile; if I'm botting on a laptop, but then decide I want to check my account and use it from my mobile - is it best that I get another phone and keep it separate from my personal account? Obv I would turn off the bot when I'm using the account on a mobile.

Is there anything else I need to consider?

Lots fall for this. Do not try and get all the information before starting .Most of it is just a waste of time. IT will take you longer to get started, you will still make mistakes and you may never start because you are trying to plan the perfect method - that probably won't work anyway. Learn by doing, learn by failing. Botting is not static, you will always have to learn, review, update, test and improve as you go forward

What do you think is best? This should be obvious

I am not going to comment here, I think you can find a much better bot for cheaper with more functionality and a better license ;-)

If one account, use local IP if you don't mind the two accounts being associated.

- Content - I need to change the content slightly to ensure the Hash is different whether this be colour/size etc - correct?

At a minimum you want to change the hash, better to use image processing to change the image more fundamentally so machine learn algo cannot ID them. For this you need a better bot than you suggested.

- Paid Promo - Is it worth getting Fuelgram or something similar to boost onto the explore page or can I rely on F/UF to start up?

All quality promo can help. But don't go to early in this and make sure it is quality and not some crappy promo

- With regards to posting from a mobile; if I'm botting on a laptop, but then decide I want to check my account and use it from my mobile - is it best that I get another phone and keep it separate from my personal account? Obv I would turn off the bot when I'm using the account on a mobile.

Again depends if you don't mind the accounts be associated. IF this new account is promoting extreme adult BDSM services you may not want to be associated with it. Otherwise it doesn't really matter
