If I have 100 phones laying around, and 100 cheap sim cards. Lets say.

If i make an Instagram and Pinterest profiles on each of them, and maintain them manually, i mean heavily invest in making them real, and run them 100% manually, each on its own SIM card internet, i should in theory have 100 legit profiles.

How much could I charge for my network as support to somebodies mid sized Instagram?

For example I can have 100 accounts follow you, and be notified when you post a picture. I will than manually in 15 minute range like and save your picture from 100 accounts, giving you nice boost for explore page.

or maybe comment, or so.

MY focus would be on quality (only manual work, no automation)

Could I sell this service (in theory) 75 euros per month?

I would only need 10 clients to quit my job than.

Any idea how to twist this or anything you can recommend ?
 
100 likes and follows is not a lot, so I feel that first of all 75 dollars is a lot of money for that amount
Also, think about the time it can consume doing this manually, uploading content, liking, commenting etc.
Even if you're doing it manually and what may seem like more organically, clients will tend to choose a cheaper option that gives the same effect from apps etc.
 
You sure those 100 accounts going to survive? Take a pen and notepad and do some research before jumping into this. It sounds easy, but it's not.

It doesn´t matter the number of phones and sim cards you have if they are all connected from the same IP this is not going to last very long.

Take a look at proxies for this, it is better to harvest and grow hundred and even thousands of social media accounts properly and do it in a more automatic and hassle-free way than managing everything through 100 phones.

After a few months, once you have so real engagement rates going by growing them organically. You can start selling shoutouts. I think this is far better than selling likes or comments.

Cheers & GL!
 
growing 100 accounts manually with F/UF would be torture

The only reason why I mention 100 sim cards is because if I stay on 3G internet on their own, they all have unique IP, correct ?
 
much better to do android app install or Reviews service
 
Im thinking of combining couple of services or social media sites that would would prefer to focus on quality rather than quantity.
I can manage 100, I have infrastructure for 100 , thats why 100 seems to be maximum number where you can do it manually and properly.

Thing is, how much can I charge for that? How much for 100 installs / reviews ? Hand written?
 
100 install depand on your location
between 0.2 to 0.3$

reviews can cost 2$ to 5$ / review

Cool, I already see promo going for 100 installs + 100 reviews for 250$ :D

So you think this makes more sense .... thanks for great input!
 
Idea interesting, but navryatli will enjoy high demand, the more is worth so costly. IMHO
 
A few things you'd probably need to consider...

1# It'll be near impossible to maintain the impression that all of them are 'natural'. An average Instagram user spends 53 minutes on the app a day*
2# Look at the IP and location patterns you'd be creating. Although the actual location data will vary, you'll still be creating massive clusters of similar users. Which might be fine if you're just promoting businesses local to you, but that probably won't be the case.

I'm sure there are people on here that can point you in the direction of mass account/proxy/VM's you can use to create the same effect virtually.

I think if you do it slow enough and put time into it, actually post, and like from profiles, It could be done.

Also, what about small automation of the profiles? Keep them super low, 10 follows per day or something.

Question about IP's:

I am trying to avoid VPN and proxy management. I've never done it and I don't want to lose accounts because some indian dude sold me same proxy as to somebody else.

If every single phone has different SIM Card with its own internet, they should have unique IP's, correct?

Also connecting all phones to one of those phone management software where you can access each phone from laptop if its hooked will allow it to open each phone on its own and do manually every action.

Am I wrong in any of these assumptions?

you should concider the fact that IG can recognize the connection if its from the sale cell tower so if you have 100 phone at the same place thats a big red flag to IG

the review /install seems good idea
but after all you can never be sure without testing and putting your hand in the waters
 
Theoretically, this should work but there are a few problems:
1. I'm pretty sure it will take you longer than 15 minutes to do the likes/saves from all 100 phones. To do it in 15 minutes you would have less than 10 seconds per phone. I think it will take at least 30-60 minutes which brings you to a rate of around 2.5-5$ per hour (if you only boost 1 post per day, probably the customers want at least 3 posts per day which makes your rate 3 times lower).
2. 100 likes from small accounts hardly have any benefit, you would have to grow these accounts to at least 10k real followers each to make it worth.

I don't think there are big risks of accounts getting banned or action blocked with this kind of setup. The sim cards will give you different ips and it's not uncommon to have more than 100 Instagram users in a certain area.
If you can automate some parts of this without risking the accounts again this can work, otherwise not.

Depending on your costs for the sim cards/bandwidth it could be a better idea to setup mobile proxies and sell them
 
The price point doesn't match the service. Additionally, your service becomes obsolete to them once they are regularly gaining 100 likes. It is a very unsustainable business model. Please do not quit your job for this.

How much can you charge mobile proxy?

I wouldn't quit my job just like that, it was theoretical question, and funny statement at what point I need to quit my job.

I really think that there is market for such service, especially to 5k-25k acccounts who could use support of small network like this. What price point would be good for 100 likes?
 
Depends on the extent of how you use the 100 accounts. If you are just offering regular likes and comments, don't expect much over $20. Botted accounts can do the same for much less, and much faster. Typical Instagram users might not understand the value of manual account traffic, or they may not be interested in slower likes.

But... if you were to theoretically manually use 100 accounts as children accounts, offering services like promotion posts, story shout-outs, likes, comments, etc. to accounts in the same niche, that could possibly be quite valuable. Would require an insane amount of dedication though.
