Decided to start documenting the growth of one of my new pages.
Started my account on Feb 8th with 0 followers, and I'm currently at 734 followers as I write this. I've been doing everything completely manually (kinda, I'll get into that below
).
I've been attempting to post once a day, but some days I get lazy and don't get time to make new artwork, but at the minimum I try to at least a couple stories with a quick 'wallpaper' I threw together.
I'm gaining around 45 followers per day doing manual follow / unfollow with 1-2 punch targeting related account's likers, I aim to follow around ~200 accounts per day.
Today I decided to start working a bit smarter though. I wrote a script to scrape lists of likers and commenters and filter them to accounts to the following parameters:
Not already following me (duh)
Followers between 35-1300 people
Following between 75-1350 people
No more than a 7:10 follower ratio
3 or more posts, with at least one post in the last 4 months
only english bio / captions (some non-english accounts do slip through)
Once I have all the accounts I generate a list of instagram deeplinks for the accounts in my notes with a checklist, then scroll through and follow them all. Easily cut my daily time following accounts down from probably an 1.5hrs+ per day to ~30 min! Video of the workflow
I'd to hear any recommendations, especially on the parameters I use to filter the accounts with! If anyone else is interested in scraping followers in the same way let me know and I can help
I know there is tools out there for automated accounts, but I didn't really find anything like this that works for manually growing accounts.
