what's happening with instagram this week!!!!!

Roughly how much do you earn through Instagram?

I've got several sponsored contracts through Instagram, both involving products and cash, and I also manage accounts for clients - But I do not at all work full time, probably spending half an hour a day.
 
You are working full time (defined as 8 hours a day), but have only made $25 in 2-3 months? Sounds like you need to find another job. Of course if you are just having fun with IG in your spare time, lige people are going crazy about Pokemon Go, it is a different story.

I've grown to 7.5K in 2.5 months. Do you think that is not enough for 2-3 months?

My monetization is currently: Shoutouts, Google Adsense on my website, affiliate links on website, YouTube monetization and accessories & apparel on my website.

Problem is, 7.5K is nothing.

I will continue to push on, but I could use some guidance.

Anything about yourself perhaps?

I also receive $30 in products per month from sponsor.

Interesting.

That is not enough if you are working full time! You can have a bot do all the growing for you.

You need to think smarter. You should not take the products at market value, I assume $30 is what you would pay to buy it, but this is not the price for the company, depending on the product this could be $1-10 - Think this in when you negotiate your sponsorships.

I only do IG for fun. All my accounts I have a personal interest in (also those that I manage for others), I build them more like "brands". I don't do shoutouts, I advertise local services, products etc.
 
alxmax mentioned earlier someone who appears on national tv 100% organic was losing followers. Also it's unlikely the 40+ pages I looked at were or are botting.

Yes, she was the reason I noticed this in the first place. It is very interesting to follow her account as it will some times easily reflect changes in IG.
 
I run many accounts, brands and personal. All botted. Different niches and sizes. They all experienced waves from gaining less to gaining more.
None lost, and engagement went along with the gains +/-.

I wish I could say some experienced 2X-10X fold gains, but not. More like 20%-30% gains, others lost about 5%-10% from their normal.

I really got to get vapormonkey to help me out.
 
Well guys my accounts started to get their followers growth back .
So i don't think instagram change their algorithm again , more likely the issue was like i said earlier the app crashing , for many users.
But i do see an engagement growth on one my account , maybe it's a coincidence ?
Who knows
 
People like and share you would get higher ranking and get expose to more people thus gaining more followers. Nowadays it is about engagement on instagram.
 
Now i'm getting 200 instead of 1000+, no you're not it's every big page...
 
Probably: a change in the algorithm to boost organic expansion and penalize follow/unfollow growth...

50k. Two weeks ago I noticed every big account I was scraping followers from wasn't showing the most recent people that followed that account. The followers list (when viewing other accounts) is no longer sorted in reverse chronological order (newest to oldest). So when a user follows an account, they are not on top of the list. Since it is listed in a 'random and repeating order' now (for some big accounts but not all) it could be preventing bots from following/unfollowing properly?

Not sure if this was an update or a "soft ban" result of other accounts flagging my account for scraping theirs. Sounds like an update to the algo to me...

Curious to see, which other members see other account's followers list in reverse chronological order or random?
