This is the ULTIMATE Instagram datasheet for feck sakes. You can find everything there.

Hey Vinny -- I appreciate you addressing my concerns -- I did indeed read the entire data sheet before inquiring. I appreciate the effort you put in.

The reason I'm so mulling/negative about it is likely because I know I'm going to make the leap soon -- and it's especially refreshing to hear that one can survive with just double-digits photos, and that one doesn't necessarily need to upload new ones daily.

Thanks Ragnar and Vinny.

I've started actively boosting my Instagram quite recently and in about 1.5 months gained around 600 followers.

Just wondering what time frames are you looking at to gain around 10k followers? how long have you been actively growing your Insta?

Apologies if this has already been answered in text.

Cheers

You can find that out for yourself. Just look at how many new followers you get on average. I am getting between 100 and 150 per day when I am running FollowLiker long enough to make at least 1000 follows. I have grown it from 120 to 13k followers in a bit more than 4 months and I am still growing at the same pace. There is no end in sight.

How fast you can grow depends on the niche and the quality of your page, i.e. how good your conversion rate is.

+1 from me guys. I realized a while back instagram game can be a viable tool to a player's arsonal. You guys provide some good tips, which I have not thought of. I too used IG/DM tactic and met a fine ass 19 y.o model down in Mexico city. One good thing is that no matter how much you try to tell people about IG game, majority of men will ignore it so a definitely exploitable market for guys willing to put the work in.

Just my 2 cents, I tried gaming instagram a few months ago (with 1.5k followers, I do extreme sports, acrobatics, gymnastics etc...), and gave up... these are the lessons I have learnt:

1) If you game a girl on instagram as your starting interaction, there might come a day where you couldve just approached and day gamed her instead, and it probably wouldve worked better... but now you just look like a stalker, so there is no point.

2) I have yet to get anything from IG closing as opposed to number closing, I think its a pretty stupid shit test that shows lack of interest "oh I cant give you my number but here is my IG instead", I actually now just say no thanks, I don't want to waste my time, at least for me.

3) I realized, like someone else has mentioned here, I share the same habits as thirsty beta orbitors, I had a moment of introspection and it scared the fuck out of me, I had suddenly moved backwards in personal progress. I then mass unfollowed all the selfie whores I tried to game and just kept people I knew from real life as people I follow, I also never liked a single photo from a female I don't personally know ever again.



I still enjoy using it to post my training progress, and I do admit it is a good DHV if the girl is already interested in me, but by that point its just a handy bonus show off thing, and ultimately doesn't really contribute all that much to the process, to me, personally.

1) If you like a girl on IG, how are you planning to find her to approach her in real life? Or are you talking about another random girl? One thing does not exclude another. While you are daygaming and you get tired, sit down for coffee and run some IG game.
I doubt you will find any daygame hotspot with such concentration of hotties as IG, even in places like Kiev. Daygame is definitely more efficient in most places. I am however a proponent of balance and not relying on any pussy source too heavily. If you are good in day-, night-, social- and online- games, you shall get laid in any place on earth.

2) There is a big difference between a girl telling you, no you can't have my number, have my Instagram/Facebook insead, and you telling her, no I won't take your number, but you can have my IG.
Makes her question your attraction. Thus a benefit. (sure you read the sheet?)

3) I personally don't follow any selfie whores, fitness models and others of a kind. I will follow a girl I am interested in together with DMing her and liking few pictures. My automation software unfollows her in few days, if she does reply and we get an interaction going I will sometimes put her in my white list.
To be honest I almost spend no time looking at my timeline.
I see no reason of following girls, I have no chance of banging.

There are different types of IG users.
People who post few pictures and then just spend their precious time watching other people lives, instead of living their own.
And people who feed their consumers with media by sacrificing their precious lifetime for making quality content.
Both are extremes. I would say be a moderate consumer and spend as little time as possible to still provide enough feed to maintain your online persona.
There is still a value on IG, things you can learn.

I guess as with all things there must be a golden mean.

I'm using automation and went from 0 to 1300 in about two weeks. BUT I realized that my following to followers ratio is butt.

ANYWAY is crowdfire the best way too mass unfollow those who aren't following me back?

As of now I just unfollowed 1500 people randomly through the IG app. I didn't care if they were following me or not I just wanted to bring that ratio down. With the app there is no easy way to see who's not following back. ......

There's an app called unfollowers. On there you can unfollow whoever isn't following back.

One important question about the automated followers though, are they engaging ie liking and commenting on your pics?

Automated followers are same people as non automated. They follow you back for some reason, means they might actually like your shit, means they might occasionally like some of your posts.

The followers you buy however are not people, but dead accounts. These are easily to spotted. Normally these accounts have around 100 followers and around 7000 followings. The also have around 12-15 totally random photos, few of which for some reason always include photos of cars.

1) is there a max on how many you can unfollow WITH THAT APP? Manually I can unfollow a lot but it's a hit or miss because I don't have time to check if they are following ne or not ....I just unfollow without caring.

2) to answer you im getting about 90 likes within the first few hours and then maxing out around 150 likes within 24 hours. Then I get random likes after that. I used to get only 30 likes per pic but with more followers the number of likes is increasing with each new post.

Comments: my comments are hit or miss. People engage more when I have a cool photo and a cool quote to match. I have a small set of dedicated "commenters" who are now starting to comment. ( like 5 people. I said small) but when they comment I get random other commenters jump in. I will now start asking a question as much as I can. I.e. of I post a vacation photo "what's your favorite vacation spot" or " "What's your next vacation destination". You get the idea but ill user it with each photo.

My comments are low but I engage with the commenters and it becomes a conversation on my photo.

What I did to gain them was if I see a photo I like ill check the person's profile and check their photos. If I like what I see I'll like a photo then comment on it. Then do the same thing twice more (ymmv). Then ill follow them. Usually ill get likes this way and a follow and a commenter. But I don't do this a lot. Time consuming. But the people who comment a lot ill notice their photos and like+comment. Now that I have 1000 followers I can't do that shit. Too many people. But im posting good content and they are automatically commenting now.

My thing is photography. So I try to post my best, interesting or different photos. For some reason people like my cat. I've got some pretty unique photos of my cat and when I post a photo my likes go through the roof (200 likes is a lot for me and my account, so I ill take that.)

I'm going to split the account and have my own personal account for my self portraits, running/work out related posts.

I'm still in the beginning stage, I've only been at this for 2 weeks +/- a few days. im slowly tweaking but I like the direction im going.

My goal is to hit 5000/10,000 followers on each of my two accounts (my photography and my personal) then see what's up with connecting with people

If I can now hit 3000 by end of the month I'm be good

You are putting up a lot of work. Just get an automation softwate, way easier. Followliker allows to maintain up to 5 accounts. This sounds like and advertisement, but this software is pretty amazing.

People like cats, tits, asses and abs.
You have a cat which is half way to success.

I am working on getting my abs out, not only for IG off course. Just want to make sure I actually have this muscle on my body, never seen it

Are you sure?
I just googled and found a service who claims that you can buy followers/likes/people commentating with REAL and ACTIVE accounts. But is that always gonna be like you said - pretty lame accounts like that with 12-15 random photos?

Post: #43

^^^^^^^^ I've been trying to look into that for about a week. I don't think you can buy "real" followers. If you can I'd like to know about it.

Ive seen accounts with like 50,000 followers and only a few likes and comments. When I like their photos or comment they like my photos and respond to the comments right away. Pretty suspect. If I have 50000 followers there's no way I can keep up with my timeline. Even now when I post my cat photo the Recent Activity section of the IG app blows the fuck up.

One way I can see that working is if you buy 5000 followers and use that as a smokescreen to get more followers. Even if your followers are dormant "perception is reality." In my newbie opinion. Im learning as I go

I guess to each his own.

---edit---

I can't use followliker. You need to leave your computer running to use it. I travel too much for that.

Disregard original text below:

[[[[How many people can you unfollow in one sitting with followliker? I need to purge the people im following as my ratio is off]]]]]

Post: #45

@toejam i guess the limit is the same as instagrams limit. not sure how many

I knew a guy that had that sort of service for facebook and instagram. He was like "i'll give you 20000 real facebook page likes for 20 bucks! I told him to show a demo, and of course i then got 1500 fake likes. Which also sucked for marketing because promoting my posts would not be as efficient. Had to remove all these 1500 manually lol.

I've tried following a bunch of people manually under the hashtag travel but it's rare that they follow me back. I only have like 15 pictures though and under 500 followers.

Gonna try the instagress 3 day free trials now and see how it goes.

The problem is that after having unfollowed hundreds or thousands of people manually through the IG app, you need to blacklist those people in order to not follow them again. Otherwise you won't make much progress and just follow people again who haven't followed you back in the past. This is where FollowLiker comes into play, as it has an option to automatically blacklist everyone you unfollow. That makes sure that you only follow new people you haven't engaged with in the past.

I used to start out manually with the Crowdfire app but I soon realized that if you are doing hundreds of follows per day it is impossible to keep track of who you have already followed + unfollowed.

In which part of the world have you tried it? From my experience there are some countries - especially in Europe - where Instagram isn't as popular as in the US or Asia. A lot of people in Europe have private IG accounts and they use it just like Facebook, i.e. adding only people they know in real life.

What are the main features of Followliker that makes it so valuable? Even if money grows on trees for you, dropping $100 on this software is a big ask...

Can anyone recommend a shittier but free app or one with a trial that features tools similar to what Followliker has to offer?

All the other tools require you to pay monthly. So if you look at it as a long-term investment, FollowLiker is a lot cheaper than Instagress or Boostgram (both of them have a free trial btw). Plus, it's functionality is better (e.g. you can define exactly how many follows and unfollows to do) and you can manage multiple accounts with it. I also think that Boostgram and Instagress don't let you do as many follows as FollowLiker. I am doing 1500 follows per day at the moment. That wouldn't be possible with boostgram.

You can get it for 78$ by the way, if you don't have more than 5 accounts.
