I'm a beginner/intermediate developer and I want to try my hand at building a bot with the python selenium library to automate mass posting across multiple accounts to promote CPA offers. There are already tools that exist for this, but I want to make my own to gain experience programming, save money, and learn the ins-and-outs of social media platforms security standards.

- TikTok: It's easy to promote things, but I've heard that posts via browsers have less reach. Plus, there are a lot of captchas.
- X: I heard it's easier to promote things here. I think adult stuff has less reach? But not sure if that would be too much of an issue.
- YouTube: Don't know much about this, and I feel like it's hard to funnel people.
- Reddit: Have aggressive spam filters. Users are probably too smart tho

Its pointless building bots, if your not a creator in the first place. If you are then you don't need them. You are fighting a battle that yout think you can win, when you are up against teams of people and budgets worth millions DEDICATED to stopping bots on their platforms.

It doesn't work the way you think anymore. Build bot spam silly cpa links for people to click on, and make a huge profit. The consumer mentally has moved on from just blindly clicking links, its only the first people on the internet that click links and spend money blindly. Educated mobile consumers are everywhere now. Everyone and their mom builds bots with python, blah blah. Its pointless, there is more money to be made as a genuine content creator on these social sites. You obviously seen them.

The difference is they share content and are making bank. You want to be like them except by using bots and bank. Which is not what the platforms want. If you are a programmer there is a much wilder money making world than just spamming bots on social media to push links with poor content, on people that don't give a damn.

That is really solid content... the world is moving and bots get squashed in the move all the time.

I think some of your points are valid, but I disagree with some stuff

1. Yes, companies invest a lot into stopping bots and spam content, but bots are still prevalent across many platforms. There are people working just as hard to elude social media platforms anti-bot measures, and they're winning. I can't speak too much on the technical aspects because there are developers on here far more skilled than me, but there are still workarounds and 'augmentations'/third-party software developers can use.

2. I somewhat agree with your point - but there are still definitely people who click CPA/content locker/spam links, especially in the adult niche. I mean, people are willing to pay for OnlyFans when there is free adult content everywhere.

3. Besides just spam, applying automation to social media platforms can have a lot of uses.
 
For a first project, I'd focus on Instagram and/or TikTok. Both platforms have decent conversion rates for CPA if you do it right.

With Selenium, you'll want to randomize your actions and add realistic delays between operations to avoid looking like a bot. Instagram is actually easier to work with than TikTok since TikTok has gotten more aggressive with their bot detection lately.

Don't waste time on Reddit if you are new to this, their spam filters are no joke and the users there can smell promotion from a mile away. X could work but the traffic quality is hit or miss depending on the niche.

One thing to keep in mind tho, rotating proxies and handling CAPTCHA solutions will be your biggest headaches. Look into 2captcha or capsolver integration early on. Also, warm up your accounts gradually before posting offers or get banned quick.
 
Instagram worked quite well for me for smm services. In fact I think it can still or is used to grow accounts, now they call it mother child services but its logic and operation remain the same.

I think emulators or real devices are used now to avoid being banned or flagged as spam.

If this is something that other users may be interested in, I think I could also share the source code of the Instagram account creator that I made for this, maybe it could be useful for someone.

you could also add:

- bluesky – it’s a newer platform, lots of users, but spam filters aren’t very advanced yet
-pinterest – tons of traffic, a lot of people use it for cpa. but you need to understand how its algorithm works. there are plenty of courses and guides out there

if i had this task, i’d just open the app store or google play, check the social media category, and pick something new and fast-growing. it’ll have fewer spam filters and be easier to automate. but you’ll need to figure out how to inspect requests from the mobile app (google charles proxy for that)

I agree on Reddit and Tiktok. Reddit users are hyper sensitive to any form of lead generation, and the actual technical antibotting measures on Tiktok make it almost impossible. But if you could crack either, it's a gold mine.
 
I'd start with X, easiest to scale fast without crying over captchas.

The easiest but also the least ROI. They almost encourage bot use to pump up the user numbers and therefore bots are everywhere. You really have to differentiate yourself.

are u creating accounts or farming accounts on emulator?
isn't it impossible now since insta must be able to detect you're on emu

is your insta account creator browser / emulator / real device-based?
really interested in that, thanks for sharing

I did it in the past. And it was really pretty crazy the whole process.

First, it is browser-based, but the interesting thing was that I installed emulators, within Python installed and the account creator ran within the emulators, but browser-based.

Opening multiple tabs in different browsers after creation the emulator stopped, and restarted the same process.

I did it for SMM projects and do tasks in bulk, sending likes - seeing stories - making comments and that type of tasks that benefit SMM users.

The accounts were automatically verified by email, allowing the use of two options: temporary emails or custom emails from Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook then these companies updated their policy and it was necessary to verify the accounts with phone number, it became more complicated therefore the service had to increase its price and I was not really interested in doing it, and well little by little I stopped selling and distributing my tools until I finally decided to stop selling.

But they were good times, mate.

However it consumed too much CPU and I did not use a good computer, then thanks to BHW I was able to acquire a MacBook Air that I decided to use only to work here and dedicate myself only to the forum.

This all is completely false.

You don't need a bunch of bots to run a profitable business in a first place.

You can get a lot of traffic with only 5-10 bots at a time.

Nothing lasts forever, so you must move in set-forget with your bots.

Use some for a while, then let them idle/die, use new ones. Budget is tiny for such stuff.




Now, I won't share free knowledge here, but to counter this quote.

With a simple watermark for a couple of seconds or showing up a site where user need to go (not even zooming in)

Just normally type the site name, you can get 100k visits/month for example.


Content is king, and if you know what people want, and your video is describing exactly what they want to see, they simply fill CPA offers. Let's be real.

Ranking easy botting:

X

YT

TT

Bots still work if done correctly. Mobile proxies are a must for social media. Also a good captcha solving service like Death By Captcha or similar.

I think telegram is best for this. Many people want a good developer. I'm sure your talent will be well paid.
 
you can try to register any social media accounts with bots and sell them, its also good niche

please would you mind elaborating on other ventures that might work for a programmer?
