Like I say in the first post, Instagram doesn't work for "cold approach". It's a social circle thing.

Yeah I see that, I was hoping that there could be a way to swing it but it really is to be used in a close or as you say, social circle so I've just got to remap my IG towards something that has a coherent theme as my dogs, nature and the odd night out isn't cohesive in displaying my best social media self.

Thanks man

$100 up front for FollowLiker...$20 a month for Jarvee

Do you guys actually pay for these and find it worth it?

Regardless of bot or no bot route here's my tips of IG:

All about research. This is key. Do not skip this part
- Research the niche you want to go into - travel, music, photographer ..etc
- You want to find some IG people that have massive following, massive engagement. Look at the shots they take, angles, backgrounds, what they wear etc.. This is the kind of pics you will be uploading.
- Post regularly. 1 a day, 2 a day, 1 even few days. Depends on your niche, you will find out for yourself with testing. It's different for everyone.
- Content - quality over quantity. At first you will posting quantity, you are finding what will work... archive the pics that get low engagement. It's better for new users to see 10 great pics, then 20-30 average ones.

Equipment - I have used camera phones and also professional cameras - get equal reactions in terms of comments and likes. Main point is take pics, take lots, don't overthink it. If you have a decent camera, use it but most modern smartphones will do the job.

Filters - Most people use filters. No denying it. Personally I avoid using IG's built in ones. There are tons of apps to help you with it. Most people use snapseed or vsco. Tons of tutorials online. They will make average pics post worthy.

Once I nailed these steps above, engagement doubled. I see many 15k+ accounts that have 200-300 likes per pic and few comments. Looks super fake.

I started using Gram MultiTool, it's $10 a month. I'm getting about 5 new follows a day with the 3 hashtags I'm using, could probably run it faster but I don't want to get banned and I'm patient enough. 100 follows in the first month using it so far.

Only downside to botting is my ratio sucks, I have it unfollow people who don't follow me back after 1 day of waiting so that keeps the number in check.

Yes you are wise to build up slow.

Forget about unfollowing people, you should let the bot do it after 3 days. Don't worry about ratios until you hit around 10k. any lower, really makes little difference in terms of the viewer.

With bots you have to look at it like this - either option 1 or option 2.
option1 - follows building mode / gaining followers
option2 - maintenance / keeping ratio

option1 you will mainly be doing this, and ratios will be completely f*up. but persist as the main goal is to rack up the numbers. once you get around 10k followers then focus more on ratios and content. even with a massive following you profile and look "fake". girls can smell it.

I've lately gotten into rope bondage. It begun as a more elaborate/impressive way to restrain a girl's arms than just using a belt. More recently I've been getting into it for its aesthetic characteristics, practicing my karadas and such.

I recently had the idea of setting up an instagram account for the purpose of documenting myself getting deeper into the rabbit hole. On this account I would keep my guest's appearances, as well as myself anonymous. In my case it would not be out of necessity (I'd make an effort to maintain plausible deniability but not be overly anal about it) and in the girl's sake it would be for the ease of obtaining consent for the photography. Also, I guess it'd be more tasteful, focus on rope as an 'art' as opposed to people's faces.

The way I could tie (hah) this into my game would be the following. When exchanging instas, I'd have them key their insta into my phone at which point I could follow them on my main account, followed by my alt account. I'd introduce the alt with "let me follow you on my 'art' account" or something of the sort. She'll check out both your first account, followed by the second. Next thing she knows, you're the most sexually interesting and exciting person she's following and better still, you're literally right in front of her! If she's in the slightest curious in this sort of thing she's bound to be interested. Finally, because you have a fancy digital camera back at your place with which to capture your work you're not some creep with rope in his apartment - you're an artist.

This makes sense for me since I find this art form genuinely fascinating and want to get into it deeper. Building up a body of work to show off and potentially lead to more lays would be a cherry on top.

Has anyone implemented something of this sort? Either way, what are your thoughts and feelings?

EDIT:
Bonus would be that your account becomes unique enough to stand on its own. No need to engineer 4 digit follower counts.

Sorry, but those are terrible numbers. I just started three brand new Instagram accounts and already have them at 1000 followers each after two weeks.

Just buy the goddamn Followliker, read the original datasheet by me and Vinny and watch your acccount grow. It's no rocket science. I have been using Followliker for more than 2 years now and haven't seen any other software or bot that comes even close to the results that Followliker will give you. Especially not those monthly subscription bots. They are just a waste of money because they don't allow you to follow enough people per day but at the same time are charging 10-30$ monthly (that's like 2-5 followliker licenses per year!)

Botting also doesn't mean that your engagement will go down. You just have to keep posting quality content every day. If you bot without posting photos or IG stories, your engagement will go down because the "new" IG algorithm only shows your photos to a select group of people who tend to engage with you regularly (= they like and comment your photos and watch your stories). So if you don't post but grow your follower-base, your engagement ratio will suffer because your future posts will be shown to only very few people.

That's an excellent idea. Similar to these photographers who post photos of semi-nude or censored full-nude photoshoots they have done. They get laid a lot from their Instagram.

4 digit follower counts should easily be possible for you but you are right, it is not necessary to stand out with many followers. I guess 1k-5k would already be more than enough for your case and should easily be doable in 4-5 months if you know what you are doing.

Opinions on whether to leave older not so DHV photos from a few years ago on my profile (highschool) for all to see, or to hide them in the archive?

They arent horrible posts, they just arent as great in contrast to my posts in the recent year and half (in terms of travelling, physique, and accomplishments).

My reason for leaving them there is just because of the tons of comments i was getting from girls back in the day, which thus can potentially trigger the hamsters of any stalkers that may go searching through my profile with a little more depth.

That's true. But it is still much better value for money than most other tools out there. Followliker could charge 58$ + 20$ monthly and would still deliver far better results than most of their competitors if you are using it correctly.

It depends how many photos you have in total, i.e. how far someone would have to scroll down to see the old pics. If they are not that terrible and you have plenty of other pics, I would just leave them on. A lot of people have lower quality photos from the past on their insta.

[RagnarLothbrok]

This might not be the right subforum for this post, but since this is the most recent Instagram thread and I don't want to open another one, I will just post it here:

How to make your first $$$ on Instagram with low time investment and a lot of patience
In my initial Instagram sheet I have already slightly touched on the topic of using Instagram to make money. Back then, I had no practical experience with it and made 0$ from Instagram. Now, almost two years later I am able to outline a very specific step-by-step guide on how to make your first money with Instagram. This post describes exactly how I built one of my Instagram pages that is currently doing 100-150$ per month selling shoutouts.

DISCLAIMER: This is not gonna make you rich, but if you put in a little bit of effort and read my initial datasehet, you can make your first monthly 100-200$ of almost passive internet money in a couple of months, plus the option of selling your account for 500$+ in the future. You can also easily scale by starting multiple accounts that follow this strategy.


Step 1: pick your niche
This is the most crucial part of this strategy. You want to mainly look at three success factors when picking your niche:

1. How easy is it to grow the page? If you niche down too much, you won't be able to grow very fast, simply because it will be very hard to target your future followers. Since the monetization strategy is selling shoutouts, your page needs lots of followers. I suggest making a list of at least 10 large Instagram pages (20k+ followers) that are also in your niche and that you can scrape followers from. Then you will get a feeling for whether the niche is big enough or not.
2. How easy is it to find/create content? The easier it is to find content that already exists on the internet, the less time consuming it will be to build your site.
3. How profitable are shoutouts in that niche and how high is the demand for shoutouts? You can check that out by browsing the sites of your competitors. A lot of them publish their rates. If not, just send them a message saying that you want to advertise on their pages, to get an idea of how profitable that niche is.
   

Once you picked your niche, you just have to come up with a cool name and create your Instagram account. I recommend registering a new Gmail address that you will use to sign up for your Instagram account and then later also for your Paypal account.

Step 2: create content and set up Followliker
This is the most time-consuming part of the whole plan. In the early stages (= the first couple of months) you want to be posting at least one photo every two days. Thus, you need to get your hands on at least 50-100 photos, highest quality as possible. Post 10 of these photos manually as soon as you created your Instagram account and then just let Followliker post 1 photo per day until you run out of photos.

You can either create your own content, i.e. coming up with your own stuff, or just post random photos from the internet. In the beginning you can get away with that, because nobody will care if those are your photos or not. Posting random photos from the internet is much, much less time-consuming, so I suggest you do that. Another idea is to go on fiverr and outsource the content production. There are people that create Instagram content for relatively cheap, although most of that content is just some quotes presented in a nice looking way.

Once you have your 50-100 photos, you need to set up your account on Followliker and follow the outlined strategy that I have posted in the initial Instagram sheet. Be careful to start small with the number of follows you do everyday. I recommend to not follow more than 300 people per day when you are starting out. Monitor your results for the first 2 weeks. If you are getting 50-100 new followers per day in the beginning, you are already doing well. If you are barely getting any new followers, it means that you are either scraping the wrong source pages or the niche is simply not big enough or not attractive enough.

Step 3: run Followliker and be patient
Just let Followliker run every day and grow your site. Monitor your results every once in a while and change the sites that you are scraping followers from. This stage can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on how fast you can grow. But in any case, it is almost zero work. You could also buy a few fake followers in the beginning to speed up the whole process.

Step 4: monetize by selling shoutouts
Once you reach a big enough follower-count, you will start getting DMs from people who want you to post their content on your site. This is when you can slowly stop posting existing content from the internet and instead just post the photos that people send to you. You can also actively reach out to people and ask if you can repost their photos.

At one point, you can then start charging money for shoutouts. Set up a paypal account and then reply to every "shoutout request" with the following messages:

"Hi, thank you very much for your message *insert happy emoji*"

"Our features/promos/ads are currently priced at *insert price*$"

"Would that be ok for your? *insert another happy emoji*"

Make sure to send three single messages and keep it short and simple. I found this script to work much better than a super long copy & paste "price list", because it seems much more natural and personal.

Then proceed to send them your paypal.me link.

There are also some things that you can do to attract people who might want to buy shoutouts from you:

1. Visit your competitors site and see who they advertised for. Then message those people and ask if they also want to advertise on your site.
2. Mention in your stories or in your bio, that you are offering features/promos/ads
3. Everytime you post a shoutout on your site, write in the caption "DM us if you also want to have a shoutout"
   

Generally speaking, once you reached this stage, you will invest a bit more time into the whole thing, because you have to message other people and make sales. However, it is still not much work and you can expect to sell a couple of shoutouts per month, or even per week. It is also possible that bigger businesses want to do long-term partnerships with you. I just had one ecom-shop asked to partner up with me for 135$ per month in the next couple of weeks. All I have to do is post one of their photos each week.

The foolproof way to put this strategy into practice
To finish this small guide, I want to tell you about my niche. Everyone reading this guide can copy what I did and get the same results. Here's the niche:

HOT GIRLS

That's it. You just create Instagram pages and post photos of hot bitches. You can also niche down a bit by focusing on certain nationalities or races. I did black women, for example. Here are the advantages of that niche:

It is very easy to grow, because everyone likes hot girls. You can expect to get 200-300 new followers per day, if you are targeting the right people. In other words, after one year you can be at more than 50k followers, which is big enough to start charging for shoutouts. You could also buy 10-20k followers to speed it up a bit. Most girls who want to get featured have no clue if your followers are real or fake.

It is very easy to find content, because in the beginning you can just download photos of hot girls from the internet and post them. My initial time investment was less than 5 hours. Once you are at about 10k followers, you can stop posting photos that are not yours and just post photos of girls who message you their pics. Or you just reach out to girls and ask if you can post their pics. At the point I am at now, I don't have to care about content any more at all. I just post whatever good photo ends up in my DMs.

It is easy to monetize. I don't have to tell you guys that women crave attention. Especially the not so pretty ones. Bitches just "want to get my face out there a bit more" and are willing to pay 10$, 15$, 20$ so that they can show their friends that this big site with 100k followers posted their picture right next to hot model tier girls. Just make sure that the majority of photos you post are still high quality. Then the few paid shoutouts won't ruin the overall quality of your page. The hot girl niche also allows you to sell shoutouts to fashion brands and all kinds of sstuff women are interested in. Real businesses are usually willing to pay more money for shoutouts.

Wow I didn't know you could run the bot this fast. I have mine set at 5 follows an hour, looks like I can really crank it up now.

I am doing 1000 follows and 1000 unfollows per day and per account. A year ago I even did 2000 follows per day but it seems as if Followliker can't reach that level any more for whatever reason. Or maybe I just fucked up a setting.

[Salvadore]

Haha, thanks for sharing. I'm jumping on this straight away. The average millionaire has about 6 income streams if I remember correctly.

And collecting photos of hot bitches and get paid for it? Doesn't sound like the worst side hustle in life.

[DJ-Matt]

Botting going well so far, I started with 30 followers, and after 1 month (just got billed) I'm up to 215 followers which is pretty good because my pictures are mostly of nerdy interests or RV/camping pictures.

[flaghunter]

With Vinnie’s like boost – is there a chance girls will notice it’s all bots liking my photos?

Before I sign up to a service I want to unfollow everyone that doesn’t follow me – what’s the most efficient way to do this?

I see that retentionpanel.com offer buying cheap mass followers and likes but I am unsure if this site should be trusted or if it’s the wrong way to go? I have to sign up even to view prices and its not https.

Although this seems the easiest and quickest way for sure, Corsega thinks lots of girls will notice I have lots of fake accounts following me and not enough likes, but it seems likes can be bought also

[Beirut]

I have been using Vinny's thing for a few monthes now.

(Not sure if it's still Vinny's. I'm still subscribed to the original instantical thing and I got confused about what happened and I guess Vinny got banned so I just elt it be)

It doesn't give you likes anymore, but still follows/unfollows and stuff.

I had used followliker on my own for a bit before and was getting better numbers from that. Although instantical does seem to target more women.

I don't use much stories/tags and don't post much as I dislike it a bit but I wanted to have a decent game backup.



The problem is, the first few girls I met and added there, many noticed on their activity feed that I'm adding tons of people (including little Asian boys) every day and mentioned it to me.

I told them my account was added to some weird marketing list.

After that I stopped adding any hot girls that I know to it.

[RDF]

Instantical is great in that it gets you a higher number of real followers by brute force. It simply follows lots of random people, and the goal is that some of them follow you back, which a certain % always will. For the price that they charge compared to FollowLiker and others, it is a great deal, and I'm glad that I have used it for several months.

However, the issue is that they don't really offer a way to target a specific niche, and the service just follows random people around the globe. This results in very low engagement (ie: those followers liking your stuff), since the followers have no particular interest in your profile. It's sort of like with sales... Imagine a company is selling cocktail dresses, and instead of targeting their ads to women in their 20s and 30s, they target everybody, including men, kids, and women living in Riyadh. Your conversion rate will be lower by definition than if they targeted the actual market. Instantical previously compensated for this with the "like boost", but it doesn't seem like they're doing that any more (and I had opted out of it initially to try to grow my engagement manually).

Girls notice follower count first, but they will notice engagement as well. A good number to keep in mind is 5%. If you have 5k followers, than your photos should get on average ~250 likes and you're good. If you are getting far less than that consistently, its a bad look. People will assume your followers are fake/bought.

I'm in that range now, but that is because I started my account with a decent number of real followers already who were giving me a lot of likes. I did a rough calculation that my engagement with my new followers is something like 2%. This may speak to my content, but it also may speak to the types of followers that I am getting. So for now, I'm trying out a new strategy to increase engagement and seeing if it works.

To those who want to grow an Instagram account from scratch, I would recommend first trying to target a specific niche and using a service to follow/unfollow people related to it. For example, if you post a ton about winter sports, look for the big skiing/snowboarding stars, people who posted photos at Chamonix/Courchevel, etc.

[DigitalNomad]

I've been using this for a bit to get a few more comments and it works great.

https://boostupsocial.com/free-engagement-groups/

It's free, basically you comment on 5, 8, or 10 peoples photos or like 10 or 30 photos and the next people after you in the chat do the same to your photos. Good way to build engagement if you aren't using any sort of app. The comments help with the like boost if you have it delayed an hour or two, you can get a decent amount of comments in before the fake likes come in.

I posted this in another thread, but I have 2 dates set up this week because of Instagram, one from a girl who randomly followed me and recognized me at a bar, and the other who opened me on Instagram and offered to show me around Cologne when I'm there next week.

[pargan]

Instagram seems like a great way to open certain demographics that you otherwise wouldn't have access to or good logistics with. For example if you're not in college you could just set the location to the college in search and try to instagram game the girls there.

Does anyone game college girls or any other harder to reach demographics?

[DonnyGately]
