Again thanks to Vinny and Ragnar for this stuff.
5 weeks in and went from ~40 followers to ~2800

I'm not sure if it's directly correlated but I changed a setting in Follow Liker that may be increasing my follow back ratio. Only been 2 days though (since I changed this setting) and I already have a decent amount of followers so people might be more inclined to follow me

Follow back ratio is >10% (seems like 10% is good?). Following ~1300~1350 people/day, 165 follows first day, 224 the second (12.6%, 16.7%)

Under Follow User Settings
Where it says Follow users who have 0-9999 followers. I set it to 0-1000. My logic being people with high follower counts are less likely to follow you (since they prob think they're too cool). Vs. people with low follower counts are more likely to follow you

Edit:
Also, any of you getting free shit from this?
One of my end goals besides the pussy is free stuff like hotels. If any of you are getting free shit, what is it (if you don't mind mentioning it) and how many followers are you at?

That's tight bro, I will try that and see what happens. My followers are 5.4k now. Follow back still around 24-26%. I recommend keeping your best photo as your first pic if you're mass following. One of my pics was me in a blanket with my shirt off, that I took on my mac, received over 400 likes.

I'm getting 1-2 Dms a day lot of cougars and international bitches, a few gay guys trying to open me with modeling . When I get to 10k followers and 400 post i'll start to target local whores.

This makes a lot of sense. I'm going to try that. A lot of people in that range also don't know how instagram works.

Could the people getting 100+ followers a day everyday post what their Follow and Unfollow settings are?

Right now I turn on Follow until I follow a little more than the same amount of followers I have

Follow settings:
Follow limit 50-60
Daily follow limit 2900-3000
delay follow 40-50
Follow users who posted 0-5 days ago
Follow users who have 0-1000 followers
Ignore private user checked

Then I turn off Follow and switch to Unfollow until I get back down to say 100 followers who are on my whitelist

Unfollow settings:
Unfollow after 0 days
Unfollow limit 50-60
Daily unfollow limit 1350-1400
Delay unfollow 40-50
Blacklist unfollowed users checked

After I just repeat this cycle.

Is this what you guys are also doing? What are do your numbers look like? I feel like I could be getting more followers quicker. Do you guys keep both on at the same time?

Post: #229

CD, I think I posted this before but sounds like you a good looking dude lol. I don't get DMs like that or anything but I guess my niche is not so much about me. Plus I don't have many pics of myself. I really wonder who takes pics for those guys and girls on insta that seem to have the best pics of themselves doing random shit lol (those Instagram "model" types if you know what I mean)

Follow settings:
Follow limit 10-20
Daily follow limit 1400-1450
delay follow 10-15
Follow users who have 0-1000 followers
Ignore private user checked

*Note - I got temp banned (~1 day) for following too much. The settings were the same but daily follow limit was at 1500-1550 and delay follow was at 1-10 (I think this was the issue). Also, re: my numbers - in that guide Ragnar posted, it said account age mattered. I don't know how old my account is but it isn't new (if there's a way to check I will). I also somewhat gradually worked my way up in terms of settings like 300 follows/day for a week, 400 the next, 500, 900, etc.

Unfollow settings:
Unfollow after 1 days
Unfollow limit 5-10
Daily unfollow limit 1400-1450
Delay unfollow 1-10
Blacklist unfollowed users checked

Maybe get rid of "Follow users who posted 0-5 days ago" - not all people are that active on Insta. Also, I think that people who post more frequently are gonna be more follower-conscious and shit (Instagram broscience) vs. people who just have accounts not so much to post shit but just look at other peoples' posts (without caring about follow ratio)

Also not even regarding the settings, other factors like pics are of course important. I would say my pics are pretty good, like breathtaking some of them. I'll get random DMs or comments or I'll like hit up some girl and the person will think I'm living some baller lifestyle and ask me if I normally just travel a lot and stuff

Post: #230

^ Don't use those follow settings. I got blocked again lol. Looks like 1300-1350 is the sweet spot with those settings unless I up the delay or something

I would set it to 200-1000. This way you filter out fake and inactive accounts who have no followers themselves.

I also filter the amount of followings (follow users who have 200-1000 followings). I don't see why I should follow someone who is already following 2000+ people. It is very likely that this person is also doing follow for follow and will unfollow you sooner or later.

There is no sweet spot in general. Every account has its own sweet spot depending on how active and old the account is. I can do 1500-1600 follows everyday without getting blocked. You just have to increased the amount of follows step by step.

Post: #233

Yea i should have clarified - sweet spot for me

Very good point Rag.

Yeah there is not sweet spot. I'm following 3k-3100 users now and have no issues (I've had instagram for a long time now) BUT i cannot unfollow over what i have above... i think since i read about this i have slowly each week bumped up the amount of follows up by 100 so it looks ok to instagram but for the unfollows it might hit red flags cuz i wasn't bumping it up simultaneously. i'm going to slowly work my way up with unfollows and see how that goes (to check it there is an upper limit to unfollows or if its like follows where you just need to slowly build it up).

Credit goes to Rag for saying somewhere that every week he ups his follows by 100.

Consider changing your unfollow after days. Have it on at least 2. It takes time for some people to get on IG and actually follow you back. Otherwise a lot of them end up in your black list.

Post: #236

Just found a really easy to trick to bump your follow-back percentage.

I started thinking about what makes a person likely to follow a random stranger back. I came up with two things:

1) They think that person is interesting/attractive.
2) They are more likely to follow random strangers in general.

One thing I've noted while travelling is that people in certain latin or Asian countries add TONS of strangers to their social media accounts. These are also the countries where being white gets you more attention.

So to test it out, I started following the followers of all Brazilian accounts in my niche, instead of American ones. My daily followers increased by 30%.

Try it out I bet you'll get the same results. Other countries to try: Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, etc.

I thought black list is just you not following them again? Like I think when they sign on, they still see you followed them
--

And on following people from countries where people are more open to following, definitely.

Had a period where I was trying to follow Japanese people and the numbers were a bit lower. I think any 1st world country where people are playing that image game it's gonna be like that. Also, Japan colonized us lol (Korea)

Now I'm following (or was, before I got hit by ban hammer again) a pretty generic account that has a lot of just kind of low-IQ people from various random countries that seem to have terrible following:follower ratios and don't even care

Edit: this is why I didn't filter by number of followings as Ragnar said. I think number of followers is a better filter. There are definitely some accounts where they are doing the same thing as us - following a lot of people (and unfollowing later), but these people often have >1000 followers if they've been mass following for a while. Whereas anyone with <1000 followers is not that instacool / probably doesn't care as much

Post: #238

Be careful about Dming these whores player. Had a crazy cunt message me back and forth in DM then went crazy so I told the bitch to fuck off, she deleted all her crazy messages and screen captured our message on her IG and tagged me in it. I called her out under the picture about the crazy shit she said and luckily she deleted the picture then blocked me. It's not my first time I've seen whores doing this. My Ex Bf would screen capture this shit all the time of guys hitting her up or something. Be weary, but at the same time if you don't give a fuck then call them out and carry on.

Post: #239

Sooo I been more active about sliding up in dem DMs

I'd say I've DMed ~30 girls with the intention of banging

1 has led somewhere (got her contact info/she was very keen but lives far so not happening unless I go there)

Rest either don't even read my message (I'm guessing they got DMs out the ass from thirsty dudes like myself) or it's pretty stale

~4,000 followers

I've never really been about the online but I guess I'm expecting it to be too easy?

How are you guys doing

Potential problems I can see (personally):
1) I have bad "text game"
2) I'm not that good looking/not a lot of pics of me

Anything else? (Question goes out to people who are actually smashing sloots off IG..)

Post: #240

I'm done targeting women's magazines, yoga and gym accounts. I have more videos of women on my feed squatting in lycra that I can shake a stick at.

Any other ideas of what IG accounts to target (apart from celebrity accounts)?

I've smashed one hottie and received plenty of digits from others. I'm at 7k followers right now. I'd say DM game is a realm of chances. i'd reckon that half don't receive or ignore all DMs. The others probably get blown up. What's your opening message? Mine usually is you have nice artwork/photos, how long have you been into photography?(every bitch with a $80 smartphone thinks she is a photographer) I then spit the usual about how i'm interested in it, tips about their pics then transition with "are you a model?" 80% say no, i then respond, "well you're gorgeous enough to be one" most respond back with haha thanks you too or some other corny shit. Get the number and transition over from there.

@N6. If you want to target a new niche, you only really need the first few photos for that niche. If I wanted to target workout junkies i'd take a few selfies at the gym and wala new niche incorporated

At this point, i'm still focusing on getting to 10k and getting over 500 photos. A lot of DMs i receive are chicas under 22 or women over 40, but they aren't within my local area. I will target the local area women end of this month and post results here.

How many DMs that take?

My opener is very generic like hi or hi ur cute, etc.

I think I'm underestimating the time investment required for IG / online in general.

Like if I go to the club I might approach say 25-30 chicks (no idea but guessing) in a night and bang one

Let's say the 1 chick that was keen met up and I banged

1/30 DMs

Is that reasonable?

Post: #243

Like 15 DMs for her. I targeted all the models on this new photographer's page, she responded back asap so I went with her. It's definitely a time investment. IG game is best utilized for me when i'm at a bar and need to improve my value on the fly. Tell a bitch to add me on IG, they always always go through my pics and comment how nice my page is.

No not reasonable IMO. DM game is still online game. I consider a DM just a little better than a swipe on tinder. If you're handsome and send out 100 DMs you'll get a good response just like if you're handsome on tinder and swipe 100 bitches you'll get a good response. Hi or cutie seems a little basic to me. I always open with something a little more indirect. Bitches know why you're contacting them so they'll play along if they deem you worthy.

Honestly the whole "Instagram is the new Tinder" thing I think is a myth. That's what I've seen so far based on my experiences and others in this thread.

I'll probably get to 5000 followers, try DMing about 200 girls, and if it leads nowhere, stop running the automation and just use it for passive DHV.

Usually because they open me before I get around to opening them.
I don't open that many girls on Tinder any more because I've usually got a full harem and I only start opening new girls if I cut/lose one from my current roster or I match with an especially hot girl.

Back to the topic at hand. Just passed 1,000 followers (400 follow) without using any of the automated tools. Has taken me 5 weeks.

Post: #248

Unfortunately I found Instagram to be as location dependent as Tinder. Reply rate varies from country to country.
At the moment I have stopped using Instagram as a tool to get leads. Except when pipelining. Unless it is totally desperate place.

But nothing beats Instagram for lead slow cooking. Especially new snap chat feature.
Once girls see a photo or video you have posted there is an option to DM you. Well some of them do. I am still slow cooking more than 10 daygame leads from Kiev alone. Can't wait to get back and collect the results.

Sup players,

At 8k followers. Stopped running the program as I grew bored of IG and want to focus more on day game, but over the weekend I Dm'd about 100 chicks to test the waters. Some who had 10k-20k followers and def the standard IG model types First off 60-80 haven't even read the messages. Some chicks don't notice them for a while. I used an empty tinder profile to message 50 or so, the rest I just typed in local university location on IG search and sent messages

Out of the 20 or so who did respond, usually the convo was just as dry if not more dry than tinder. Out of 20(all these girls are strangers) I received 1 number from some 18 y.o 7 blonde who said she might could meet this weekend for coffee. We texted via imessage for a little but she started with the one word responses so I ignored her last message and blocked her ass

Conclusion:
-IG DM of random stringers is meh at best in the U.S. Stick to tinder. Also sending mass DMs you run the risk of being banned or a chick putting your thirsty message on blast. MY LTR and her friends get hit up in their DMs all the time and love to say their going to post up all these guys messages. Not worth it, stick to Tinder!
-IG DM of girls you gamed in real life but couldn't number close = good results, especially if your page is on point.
-IG DM of girls who gave you their number = good results. "But Coverdoc why not just text them directly" Idk man bitches are weird and like weird shit like that. I have two girls now who I talk to between Imessage and IG, don't ask me why but bitches think it's outside the norm and like it.

If you are going to mass message anyway, use tinder as your source to message the chicks, i got the most responses from girls I linked through IG on tinder vs girls via random searches.

If any of you all need help with your pages let me know. I'm getting better and better at taking selfies, my last one was me standing behind an old red sheet I hung on my door with a brazil jersey on and a wack ass model pose. Bitches went crazy. Got like 6 DMs off that, too bad none live near me

How about IG DM of girls who liked back your pictures after your followliker liked one of theirs? This is how I message girls nowadays. No more "cold approaches".

I changed my profile to private a week ago and was surprised about the outcome. My followback ratio increased a bit, and the number of good looking girls who follow me after my followliker liked their pictures increased significantly. If your profile is private and you have a high enough number of followers, a lot of people will send you a follow request because they wanna see your page and why you have so many followers. For me it actually works better than having a public profile.
