How I Add 5000 Real Followers To Each Of My Instagram Accounts Each Month Using Instagress

by mikeyman120

Hello Warriors,
I made a video for anyone interested in using the web based Instagram automation tool called Instagress. In this video I show you the settings I use to be able to get approx. 5000 Real followers added to my Instagram account per month.

Here is the YouTube Video - - - - Video Removed, Read Below.

EDIT: Instagress Is now closed but you can use any of the other automation tools out there. See EDIT below for more info.

A few things first. As anyone can see I have had this success/motivstion account for months but didn't do anything much with it for a while I just started adding content and manually following people at first just to get the account up and running but I actually stopped growing it for a while as i got side tracked by other things but I have 60 Instagram accounts loaded into Instagress and aprox. 5000 followers added per month per Instagram account is what I averge even though it took me a while to get going with this account.

Here is the username for the Instagram account in the video:
https://www.instagram.com/whats.stopping.you

or search on Instagram for user @whats.stopping.you

If you guys have any question regarding Instagress you can comment below and I will reply.

Also if you want to see my Instagram money making method you can see this free thread here in the social media section and if you have any questions regarding my Instagram money making method then comment in this thread for that:

http://www.warriorforum.com/social-m...gram-ease.html

If anyone is using Instagress or any other automation tool I would love to hear how it's working for you and how many followers do you add approx. per month using your automation tool.

Once you have an amount you want like 5k - 10k followers you can then start doing shoutout for shoutout with other accounts of similiar size followings to yours and shoutout for shoutout is FREE. It's simple you promote someone elses account to your following and they will promote your account to their following and this will get you followers for free so you can rerally start growing fast if you combine Instagress with shoutout for shoutout. You can either use Instagrams search feture an d find similiar sized accounts or there is a site that can help you find people to do shoutout for shoutout with at:

shoutoutpost.com

Comment below if you found the video helpful and I'll make more Instagram videos.

EDIT - April 24th 2017:

Well Instagress has closed down but that's OK as there are plenty of other automation sites out there:

There are a bunch of alternatives. I just liked Instagress so got used to using them but all hope is certainly not lost as you can use any of the other awesome automation tools out there. Here are some top ones to try:

Automation tools:
1) Instaeasy.com - By fellow marketer Luke Maguire
2) Mass Planner
3) Archie.co
4) TurboGram
5) Instalex.pro

I am really liking InstaEasy.com as they seem to have great features and they keep adding more so I am switching to InstaEasy. I updated my InstaDomination eBook with this so if you are a customer of mine you can log into your warrior plus account and click your username in the upper right and choose purchase history and re-download the updated version of my eBook which reflects the new alternatives to Instagress. The update is the last chapter in the eBook. Most of my eBppk teaches how to do things manually I added automation to the end of the eBook once I started using it but you don't need automation if you don't want to so the eBook is still relevant with the new updates for Instagress alternatives that work and are very popular with users.

    mikeyman120,

    Few months ago, I tried Instagress. After creating IG accounts, I submitted them to Instagress. Most IG accounts got banned. I selected "slow" mode for following only, it worked only 2 - 3 days then got banned. I never switch to "normal" / "fast" mode and also never try commenting nor doing likes nor doing "double login" in the same time. And also never do both following and unfollowing in the same time.

    Nowadays, I recheck Instagress... this service still works... and so I curious... what mistakes I made that causing my IG accounts got banned.

    Someone advice... each IG account need to be aged at least a week or more after it created... however the 2 months is ideal before start to use Instagress or other bot. The 2 months is long for waiting. More old is more safe. What do you think about this?

    I live at Indonesia... my target is USA. Did this influence my IG accounts got banned? Or other factors?

      I'm not sure why your accounts got banned or if you were doing something against their terms but I have been using them for a couple years about and never had an issue.

      If you lost accounts and you didn't do anything against their terms then you should be able to get them back. Try logging in to those accounts and if you get a message saying this account is closed you will see a link to contact Instagram. Click that link and follow the instructions to get your accounts back.

      One thing I can think of is if you had Instagress running and then you log in to those accounts to upload photos or videos on your smartphone then this might set of some kind of Instagram security thing. When you start Instagress you need to leave your account alone while it's running so upload your photos and videos before starting Instagress.

      I don't think you need to wait two months to use Instagress as I have used them with brand new accounts right away. However I first upload at least 20 pics and manually follow about 200 people to get the account started before I use Instagress. This is just what I do myself and not sure if you need to do this but like I said I have never had an issue with any of my Instagram accounts in Instagress and I have 60 Instagram accounts running in my Instagress account.

        Yes, I am confused about that.

        O yeah... I have one IG account which I used for targeting my country to get followers. This account is fine after using Instagress.

        Many IG accounts which targeting USA to get USA followers with IP address of my country (which I used to login IG. Each IG account is with different IP address), got banned after using Instagress although I selected the slow mode and my IG accounts got verified by email and SMS.

        I guess that the different IP addresses of countries influence it.

        I will try the Instagress again for targeting the USA and other countries.

          Yes its possible they detected a double login type of thing or geo location thing from two locations Instagress and you if you logged into your account soon after using instagress it could cause a reset where you have to login and verify with captcha on Instagram to get things going again. But if you lost an account they will work with you to get it back so long as they think you didn't do anything that violates their terms.

    I think that better concentrate on the organic growth and try to find your way of attracting new followers. Different tools can work and might not. So better start creating own unique and catchy content and get more followers over the long run.

      Yes you can do that but as a marketer I don't really want to take years to build up a large following when I can use automation and speed this process up so I can get to making money with my account selling shoutouts. I did the natural thing for a year and with a bunch of Instagram accounts it can get very tedious and time consuming to do it all manually so automation is for me for sure.

      I do trust Instagress a lot. When I first got into this I kept reading nightmare stories of people losing their accounts because of some shady bot that they downloaded and used and then got their accounts banned probably because Instagram either doesn't like some bots or they violated their terms but either way I didn't trust any of them at all. I trust Instagress because they are web based so they are there for everyone to see and use and not some random shady bot people download and use. Plus they seem to have some kind of IN with Instagram to do what they do and they keep adding new features so they are growing steadily. So I believe Instagram knows of them and trusts them and after using them for like 2 years successfully I now trust them.

      Organic growth is great but it can take lots of time.

    Interesting.

    I use Mass planner and wonder what IPs is Instagress using?

    Mass Planner is awesome but uses your IP and you have to use proxies for each account, which can be a pain.

    Also do you auto message promotional stuff to your new followers? I only send greetings messages but wonder how I could be more direct but without getting reports.

      I have seen a bunch of people mention Mass Planner. I will check them out but do they actually let you schedule posts and automatically upload your post and comment to Instagram or does it just send you a reminder that it's time to open your Instagram app and manually post? I would love to schedule posts like you can on Facebook. Since Facebook now owns Instagram I thought they would implement scheduled posts since they have scheduled posts on Facebook.

      Does anyone know of any other sites that offer scheduled posting for Instagram?

    Didn't watched the video now so cant comment over that Just looked at the Instagram account and to be honest the engagement rate at your account is pretty bad.

    Using Massplanner at the moment and I dont even have to look into the accounts after setting them up. It does everything for me Follows users who interacts over the posts of a specific accounts, Like their images, posts images and even unfollows auto when I reach X number of followings. Maybe you should try that too. Instagress might be good but it does not have the features to schedule posts afaik.

    Nice sharing Mike ! You are responsible to let me dive into instagram 1 year back. I was a newbie, know almost nothing ! I was jealous when I heard you have 50+ accounts

    I have been using instagress for i think around 8-10 months and have grown hundreds of thousands followers. Look great..

    But..

    Early September this year, more than 5 of my accounts(total followers of more than 200k) got deactivated ! Really sad, I have been spending quite some money and time for instagress to build the followers

    I contacted instagram to get one of the account (with highest followers) back. No reply.

    Since then, I stopped all the instagress running on all my other accounts.

    I think the best way is manual following to get best engagement. Some of my accounts got high engagement (likes) of 5-20% per post. Some of the likes come from nonfollowers though.

    I think i have been building more than 700k followers total (more than 20 acc), approaching 1 million in a few months time

    But the best way to get followers for our account is by getting into popular page where I could get thousands of followers per day.
    .

    Believe it or not, since my instagram accounts have high engagement, I can rank (get Top Posts) in almost any hashtag keywords I want. I have been ranking Top of Hashtag including:

    #picture #sweet #fact #facts #chat #time #vacation, #lifestyle, #doctor, #doctors, #hawaii, #maldives, #news, #motivation, #relationship #pic #cat #image #photo #dream #inspire #feeling #dinosaur #jurassic #feel #cutest #kitten #abnormal #rabbit #bunny #place #places #nikon #fujifilm #canon #earth #pet #meow #survive #surgery #window #live #lyrics #sayings #saying #positive #word #words #gratitude #thankyou #thanks #eye #act #sound #talent #voice #research #app #study #knowledge #learning #learn #discovery #how #howto #true #truth #grandmother #stand #treat #loving #loves #lover #pug #doglover #artist #figure #photographer #photography #achieve #ambition #usa #unitedstates #england #sweden and others

    Even recently I tried to rank in Top 25 Hashtags (each hashtag got hundreds of millions posts), I got Top Posts in almost all of the 25 Hashtags including:
    #me #cute #girl #follow #followme #photooftheday #happy #beautiful #selfie #food etc etc

    I have sold one of my instagram account for several thousands. Another one with almost 150k followers also in negotiation.

    Arggh...I think instagram game is addictive ! I have been spending lots of my time daily on instagram...

      Glad you took action on my course. And growing hundreds of thousands of followers in around 8 - 10 months mean you must have been busy putting in work. Great job on getting that many followers.

      Here is what you should do and this is how they do it now and it worked for me with no problems. Go to log in to those accounts and you will get a message saying something like this account has been disabled or whatever it says but don't close that little window. Look for a small link to contact them and use that route. Follow the steps and they will get back to you with a confirmation number that you will have to write on paper with a marker and hold it up and take a selfie of your face with the code number they send you by email and then send them the photo that shows your face and the info they request and they will check it out and if you didn't violate their terms you should get your account back and be able to use Instagress again. This happened to me almost a year ago and after continuing to use Instagress I haven't had any issues. Try that. Don't lose your accounts if you can reclaim them. Let me know what happens. The first time I did this they got back to me in 24 hours and the second time they got back to me in like 3 days so be patient.

      Yes this is my new secret weapon I have been using. I haven't yet tried to get to the popular main page you first see when you log in to instagram but I have been getting my posts into the TOP POSTS for each hashtag which I think has a lot to do with the amount of likes you get in a certain period of time. But this has been working and getting me lots of followers. I just started this recently.

      Have you been getting to the main popular page and if so could you share how your doing it.

      That's great. If you get a handle on easily building large followings I guess you can get and account earning money and then flip it for serious cash.

    If you are looking for automatic posts for Instagram i think DrumUp has that option.
    I find that Instagram is the easiest platform to get followers. Now if this thread was about Behance for example then 5,000 per month would have been an awesome result..

        Regarding the account banning. It can happen even if you do nothing wrong.

        Last year I spent some time creating all original viral videos for IG. All was good until the latest video started going viral.

        The video started to get 1000+ views per hour. At the time the account only had around 1000 followers. Soon after hitting 8000+ views and 6000+ likes the account got suspended.

        It wasn't a fake account and everything was legit. Even so it took 2 months to get the account re-instated.

        The next video I created got 60,000+ views in 24 hours, then got hit with a temporary suspension that lasted a few hours.

        Since then the account is toast. If a post a viral video to it now, I'm lucky if it gets 100 views.

        I've let the account sit for over 6 months. Will come back to it sometime to see if whatever penalty IG slapped on it has been lifted.

          Well that sucks. Nothing like that has ever happened to me with 60 plus accounts. But I also never had anything go viral to the tune of 60k views in 24 hours. Maybe too much sudden activity puts restrictions on accounts so they can check into it to see if its spam.
