I'm using the imristo.com guide's settings for my FL and after getting 120 new followers my automation kicked in and FL has stopped working with the message: All tasks have reached their daily limit*.

But my settings are that it only stops for 1 minute between 11:59pm and 12:00am and it refuses to resume scraping users & following after that time.

On what daily limit did you set your follows? And you don't need to stop for 1 minute between 11:59pm and 12:00am because there is a break between every task anyway. So it doesn't really make a difference.

Do you guys have any tips on improving pics?
I noticed most accounts have a specific style of pic and they are pretty much all the same for all their pictures.

Some of these shots look professionally taken, but they are just selfies or taken by someone else.
Are these people legit taking photos with DSLR's for selfies and other shots they do?

Is there an ultimate selfie angle, in terms of how you position yourself and how light hits you?
I'm sure there is a science to this

I'm experimenting with Insta & FL too, but there are some things I don't understand - check out this profile:

13 posts, following 30 people, and 12.9k followers. The pictures are pretty shitty too.

How is that possible?

Yeah sure, but with these shitty pictures won't it take extremely long to reach such a large amount of followers? I mean even with decent pics the follow back rate is often not that high.

Look at the comments she is getting. Almost all of them are generic comments. Looks like she bought herself 13k followers that also like and comment her pictures. She has 5k-8k likes on her pictures. That's an insane ratio and definitely not real. Not even the best IG pages in the world get such a good engagement rate.

Here's an interesting post I found:

What I like to do is using the same IG filter (Sierra) on all my pictures.

Well i can't even add my account to boostagram. Instagram keeps asking me to verify if it was me who tried to log in from USA, but when i try to add my account nothing happens.

I'm still having the technical problem with FL but if I just change my settings slightly it flicks back on. I'm 3 days in now and just shy of 100 new followers a day.

Somewhere on this forum was a discussion about the decline of dating website usage and how social media like IG is attracting those former users as a better alternative. I remember an old post by Roosh addressing online thirst by comparing a mediocre girl's daily login on her OKCupid account and how she'd easily see 100 new profile views, 50 new pm's... etc. However if an above average guy logs in his account is more desolate than the sahara.

Essentially all online dating sites have the same thing in common: they're all about women. However, growing a following on IG allows guys to even the playing field.

Just last fucking night I met up with some girls I'd known for a little while. Both love IG and I told them I made an account a while back but only just started actively using it a couple days ago and had almost 300 new followers. They both immediately picked up their phones and asked for my account name, then started looking at all my pictures, commenting on how much they like my gym videos and clothing pics. This morning I wake up to 15 messages on viber between the two of them saying how much fun they had last night and that they want to hang out next weekend.

You can't make this shit up. Ragnar, Vinny, and Fisto deserve major props for figuring this shit out and leveling the playing field for all of us.

Somewhere

100 new followers per day is not bad. How many follows are you doing per day?

I don't think it is a technical problem. I am pretty sure it is a wrong setting that you made somewhere. It can take a few weeks to fully figure out the software.

On a sidenote: I think someone asked, what a good IG page looks like. One of my favorite pages is @followtheraven. This guy must be getting a lot of pussy from his Instagram (assuming he is not gay). If he followed this guide, he would easily grow to 50k followers by the end of the year.

I always wonder who takes the photos for guys like this. Like... does he have his own personal photographer?

I feel pretty lame asking my friends to take posed photos of me everywhere I go.

Also, I'm pretty sure he is using Tinder automation software. Look at all the random generic comments on his photos.

Great thread. +1

I have been experimenting with this without the automation software and found a method to get your first few to several hundred followers easily without software. The only downside is you will not be able to be private using this method. It also takes a few hours of work but can be faster using FL with this.

Go to the Instagram app to your profile. Click options and go to "follow friends". You have "contacts" and "facebook friends" when you click on either of these you have the option to "follow all". I did this for both. I waited a day or two and gained about 300-350 new followers.

After this I downloaded "Unfollowers", a free app and unfollowed everyone who was not following me so my ratio was back to normal.

Another thing I realised is that I can follow everyone again to send the request to all of them. The reason I will do this is because I saw that many good friends were not following me because my instagram used to inactive with only 3 photos. If they had the option I bet many of them would follow me back seeing that my page is now active.

Hope this is useful, just remember that this may connect you with people you don't want to be connected to on IG. (Women who birthed your spawn after a one night stand in Colombia etc.)

If you have skeletons in your closet you may want to only do the facebook option or not at all.

Best,
PP

I think you just made this guy a couple thousand followers just by posting him here (just kidding)

But it is true you can learn a lot from some other users who are good at it. I think I am much better at making a good picture now comparing to half year ago before I started this.

How could we find a way to help forum members anonymously by following them? I'd follow any forum member for that reason. I would post my IG handle but it's against forum rules to "out" our "Dox" yourself. Is there a way we can do somthing like this?

Post: #117

Taking advantage of thirsty girls on Tinder, best way to get new Instagram followers. 30 minutes later I see that she's following me.

Post: #118

@NomadOfEu: Great breakdown of your settings. I am impressed that you are getting 100 followers back on just 600 follows per day. I guess it is just because of your silky soft blonde hair (no homo)
What is you niche? (PM me if you will)

@PainPositive: That could lead to a terrible breach of privacy of many forum members. Not doable. Just do a lot of meet ups and get followed/follow the RVF crowd. Many guys here are worth to follow actually.

@Corsega: Your phone must be huge

Post: #119

Something along those lines is what I'm thinking but even if you met 100 guys here thats a small number. I was thinking we make a hashtag and send it in a PM, following everybody in that tag. I'm just throwing ideas out maybe there is no safe way to do it. Plus even if we had a secure list with everyone on the forum you'd be following 5k guys to get back an equal or lesser amount of followers.

Update: I think I'm onto something guys. I'm getting 75 -100 new followers per HOUR. I'm not using FL or any software either. I could easily get more I think. Still experimenting.

Question: What is the limit to follow requests you can put without getting banned on IG? I don't want to overuse my method and get banned.

They always change the limits. I remember a while back ago i tried to follow hundreds of people within an hour but i exceeded instagrams limits so it didn't let me.

It highly depends on how old your account is. I also think it depends on which country you are operating from.

Also other activities seem to count in total amount of traffic.

I do 600-700 follows 700-800 unfollows and 800-900 likes. My account is about 5 months old.

Thanks!

Read back in the thread it's posted. Use friends and add people from popular accounts that apply to your page's theme. For example if your page is about fashion and travel add a few hundred people from national geographic travel and Milan fashion. After use the free "unfollowers" app to get your ratio right.

How many people are you having to follow per hour to get the 75-100 per hour?

Too many. So many it will get you banned. Be realistic, unless you have an ass of Kardashian you are not getting 2400 follows per day
