Just sharing a method here that have worked for me on instagram to get traffic.
There is two ways to go about doing this. One is free and the other one will involve some investment.
Free Method:
If you are doing right, each instagram should bring you around 10-50 unique visitors per day. 10 instagram account means about 100- 500 unique visitors.
Non Free Method:
Monetization method:
I am primary using this method to promote Amazon affiliate programs as I find that fashion products tends to do better with this method.
However I am certain there are more creative usage to this method to monetize. Feel free to discuss in this thread so that we can brainstorm for more ways to monetization.

Free Method:
- Create instagram account using a 3G internet using bluestack or Andy. Both emulator can be downloaded free. Or you can choose to root your android phone and install a device ID changer (just google for this if you need). Disclaimer, rooting your android phone can result in breaking your phone. Create about 10 accounts. I personally buy social media accounts directly from globalsuccesssoftware.vn as it makes my life so much easier. There is no need to buy proxies if you are manually managing the instagram account as long as you are using a 3G internet access. You just need to switch on and off your access to change the IP address.
- Make a plan of the target niche of those big instagram account holder. Follow their followers with the hope that they will followback.
- To research a list of big accounts to follow, I use this http://socialblade.com/instagram/top/100/followers
- Follow about 20 - 50 followers per account each day. There is a limit of around 20 follow per hour so try to stay below this quota to avoid account being ban (Note a fellow member has mention that it is possible to follow much more than this amount per hour,I have not tested but feel free to test it). Follow during the timezone where your target audiences are awake. Example, if you are targeting USA, make sure your activities begin during the time when the audience are awake. Unfollow about max of 10 per hour to avoid being deem as churning.
- Post about 24-48 pictures a day. Make sure these are original pictures or at least change the file name of these pictures. *Important* Do not post link in the description of your pictures. Link only appear in your bio once. In the description of your picture, subtley promote your site. If in doubt, follow what big brands like coca cola are doing. Example, "Been to Finland for holiday this summer, nice. Check out my summer wear collection at xxx dot com or simply visit my profile for the link to my site"
If you are doing right, each instagram should bring you around 10-50 unique visitors per day. 10 instagram account means about 100- 500 unique visitors.
Non Free Method:
- Use followliker to scale up the above process. Take note that there could be instances whereby sms reverification is required. This usually happens when you are over following/ unfollowing or posting of pictures. When this happens, just go to smspva.com (they have a BST here) and just reverify your account
