Is it still able to run 200 follows 400 likes nowadays? I mean manual growth. Spread how many hours to run this?

Yes, it's still possible. Our growth service stays around 175-200 followers per day, but we don't do the 1-2 punch. You'd be able to do the 1-2 punch, but it might have to be random and not on every account you follow.

Then what type of growth are you using?
Thanks for answer :)

That means must run like random, some account only follows, and some account only just 1-2 likes, is it? Because every account run 1-2 punch is also the same as a bot?

Hi, In your ebook, you say to use 1-2 punch, and then in the middle you say, this doesn't work anymore. Then, in your ebook you say to follow people, but in BHW thread you say your brand account must only follow some big brand pages only.

So is the 1-2 punch not a good method anymore? What currently works for growing followers?

Nowadays, Instagram tracks literally everything.
Any kind of active manual action is going to cost you a lower trust score, less engagement, etc.

Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this method (if you care about the profile).

What I would recommend to gain more followers is to network (long-term, at least a week or so) with other pages/influencers in your niche.

Everything really depends on your budget and how committed you are.

For small or no budget people I would suggest:
  1. Start networking with other pages

  2. Use other social media to drive traffic to your IG page

  3. Create/draw/etc. something for a bigger influencer, for free (they are going to FEEL obligated to do something for you (if you are lucky - choose the right person/account), and shoutout your page)

  4. Follow as many big pages in your niche as possible, turn on the post notification --> and when the account shares new picture/video, go comment on it (do not spam it with: “Follow me pls”; “Please check out my profile”; etc. Write something funny (use emotion) and related to the content. Keep repeating this, and the true followers of the account are going to remember you and possibly follow you (if they will see your content on the explore page).

  5. Never run out of stories (use hashtags, and the newest features to get the most exposure).

  6. IMPORTANT - Start/Keep engaging with your followers (make them DM you). The more you engage with your followers, the higher chances you have to appear on top of their home feed, stories --> the higher chances you have to get to the explore page.


Small - Medium budget
To be honest, I was always the last person to recommend IG ads. Nevertheless, times are changing, and Instagram is becoming more like Facebook.

  1. Everything above + extra other things
  2. Facebook ads
  3. Creating viral posts (purchasing local news/interviews/etc to write articles about it --> to increase the virality of the content)

Medium - large budget
  1. Everything above + extra other things
  2. M/C (depending on the niche)
  3. Giveaways (the proper way)
  4. And a lot more

There are a dozen ways how to grow your account. The main thing is: Don't let your MAIN account participate in any of the Instagram banned activity (engagement groups, manual F/UF, story viewing, etc.).


PS: If you are thinking of creating a new account (and you've done some black/greyhat shit with your account/phone/wifi-connection), I would suggest you get everything new - or make it seems like everything is new.

I have had some weird results, with multiple accounts on the same phone/connection.

Avoid using the same email address, phone number, CC (credit card), or any of the same payment platforms, etc.

Whenever I'm creating a new account - I'm trying to make it seem like it is a brand new person to the Instagram game.


Hopefully, it helped you at least in some way.

You definitely can still do the 1-2 punch with success, but we've had enough clients not want us to "like" photos, so we just scrapped the "punch" aspect because more clients are happier that way. I still recommend the 1-2 punch.

I use Following method with a 1-2 Punch. It works well . The fact is that many times I am blocked for one or two days. We can follow until 200 followers a day with a limit about 30 followers the hour ? an I right ?
we can unfollow 200 people the day. With a limit 50 an hour ….. ? Is there any connection between follow and unfollow. I mean I can do 200 follow/unfollow in combination or I can follow 200 and unfollow 200

I am in the same situation now. Manual F/U, respecting limits and eventhough temporary limit. Is this method still valid? Have limits changed? Any recommendation? Thanks

Still completely valid.

A lot of people like mixing up manuall follow/unfollow with other growth methods (however experimental they are) such as mentions, mass DMs, shout-outs, giveaways, etc.

I see the trouble I am not mixing w/ other methods. Just F in the morning (using 1-2 punch) and U in the afternoon.
However, I recognize, I do F and U from different devices. Should it be an issue?

I don't think that would be a huge issue, you should be okay.

Thanks. Anyway, I was temporarily locked.
Is it safe to do F and liking on PC and U on phone/tablet? Is there any difference between PC and mobile device in usage?

Ehhh...

It probably isn't the best thing in the world, but you should still be okay if you are staying within instagram's limits.
