This seems to be the only active thread on insta game, so i'm going to go ahead and ask for guidance here.
So I'm moving to a new country soon and I want to make a fresh start online for my new gaming personality. As in, new instagram account, new tinder account, setting up a proper vkontaktye, new photos to replace the okayish pictures I've been using, no more Facebook. All of this without the new accounts coming in contact with friends or acquaintances, i hope.
The motivation? Well my real-life game has vastly improved the past couple of years and my online persona is still stuck in my old beta self. I don't give a shit that my 1000s of old acquaintances on Facebook still view me that way, I never post anything online anyways, so I can just let the old accounts die out.
But I'm pretty sure that with a fresh start I could do a lot better. Thinking to use insta as a DHV and day game tool.
So. This is what I have:
- 8 weeks before I move. Hopefully my new online persona would be up and running by them, at a level that is acceptable to start using. (is it unrealistic to hope for something like 1-2k followers by then?)
- about 10k pictures of earlier travelling made with a fairly good DSLR camera. If even only 2% of these are good enough to post, that means 200 pictures, which should sort me out for some time
- 150 good pictures of me from a recent photoshoot. A lot of these are 'duplicates' (as in same series), but there are about 20 different series. I'm wearing the same clothes in all of them unfortunately.
- 0 good pictures of me from the past. Well I'm exaggerating, I could probably find 5-10 pictures which are okay, but ideally I'd rather only use new pictures.
What I don't have and need to be thinking about. Here is where you come in, great IG gurus on the forum, just give me some input if you can

1- name. I need at least a fake last name to create a new FB account (to link to IG), and use on IG as my full name. I'm also a bit unsure about my first name, it's not a common name and I wouldn't want people to find me, but on the other hand I'd feel awkward using a different first name.
My current thinking is to find a fictive last name from my home country, from a novel or something of the sort. This keeps my nationality obvious and if someone asks why I don't use my real name I have a good explanation. But maybe it's not such a big deal?
2- username for IG. Does this play any role?
3- Choosing a couple of niches. Here I'm not sure what I should do. From the content that I can post, I should probably go for a travelling niche, but I feel like everyone is doing that, I'm not sure it would be the best strategy?
Fitness is out of the picture as my body is not up to par. I'm working on it, but with a skinny constitution to start with, I'm never going to be ripped enough to stand out in that niche.
I was thinking maybe architecture, just because it's something I've got shitloads of pictures of.
I like cooking, so a food niche would be obvious, but again, isn't that a little bit too commonplace?
4- A strategy. And especially here I need a lot of input.
Here are some questions as to the concrete breakdown
4.1 I have this IG account from 2014. I never use it but I have like 300 people from my network and family following me. To be honest I don't think they would even notice if I "disappeared", i.e. blocked them.
I read about the temporary ban thing with followliker if you push the numbers too quickly, but someone mentioned that old accounts were less limited. Is there any point in keeping the old account, just blocking all my current contacts and using that one to start afresh? It seems risky though, there's bound to be someone that lands on that account by browsing through some of my network. There would go the anonymity.
Probably better to start a completely new account?
4.2 How many pictures should you post before you set the bot running? people probably won't follow you back if they see they're being followed by an account with 0 followers and 1 post...
4.3 How often do you post content, particularly at the beginning? I read some of you guys saying you have thousands of followers and 25 posts, that just seems crazy! you just never update it?
4.4 I'm going to find some cool accounts/hashtags that I'll target followers from, but I was wondering, should I already start targeting a social circle in the country where I'm going to move? Try to kill two birds with one stone: getting a starting number of followers on the account, *and* getting followers that are in my target group in the city I'm moving to?
Or would it better trying to rack in followers from anywhere in the world and keep that separated from social game?
4.5. What's a realistic growth plan?
4.6 What are the usual routines? if I'm going to run this up to speed before august I need to get into the hang of doing some of this stuff every day. For example 1 picture every second day with a bit of text + following up on the bot, how long does that take every day? + what more?
okay. Well. That was a lot more questions than I realised I had when I started writing this post. Appreciate anyone taking the bother to answer just some of these!
