Yay! Building your brand is so exciting. You are going to gain followers. But more than that, you are gaining a built in targeted audience.
But how?
We will be liking, commenting, following, and unfollowing in a very systematic way. We won’t follow someone and just unfollow the next day either. We will wait a while or unfollow if they don’t unfollow back.
What happens if I see an account that you’ve interacted with that looks lame or weird?
Note that we don’t choose to follow users based on their profile, because that’s very subjective. For example, I could have an account with poor looking pictures of flowers from my garden but I could also like high end coffee, even though I don’t post about it. How could someone know this? Because I follow high end coffee shops.
So we follow (or interact with) users based on their activity, not based on their profile. If a user follows a competitor/or similar account, we know that however their profile looks, they are obviously or usually a fan of your type of account. So even if they have weird random images, they still could be a good potential follower and even a potential customer. However if they aren’t and they don’t follow back… Then no worries! We will end up unfollowing them. Sometimes we will follow someone that is targeted, but you just really don’t like their content. Feel free to simply email us ([email protected]) with their username and we will unfollow them and make sure not to interact with them again.
What happens if somebody starts bugging me?
Note that we will be engaging with a lot of people. That means you are bound to keep a couple of odd cookies in the mix. Believe me, we’ve seen it all. They might be inappropriate, mean, be mad you didn’t follow back, etc. When this happens it’s easy to get freaked out. But just take a deep breath and remember that this means that your account is growing! You are gaining followers and interacting with more people. It’s par for the course. They are just one person having a bad day. Maybe a bad life. We don’t know. 🙂 Don’t fret. Just send an email to [email protected] with the name of anyone who is bothering you and we will block them and make sure that we don’t interact with them again.
What happens if Instagram says a suspicious login has occurred?
When we first login, sometimes Instagram or Twitter will send you a code of email for you to confirm that it’s you. Say yes or email us the code and then we will be good to go!
How many followers can I expect to gain?
Because we are dealing with real humans with genuine choice, it’s impossible to know. However we can say that the beginning is always the slowest. This is because we start the speed of our actions slowly at first. Then we slowly build up to ensure total safety for the account. We have never had an account banned, and being conservative at the beginning is key to that.
Also remember that the more followers that you have, the more likely people are to follow you once they get to your page. Simply put, people like to follow popular accounts. It’s the age old, “Well… Everybody else is doing it”. So once the momentum gets rolling the speed of growth really picks up.
Please understand that we are only part of the picture. We are merely getting targeted humans to look at your account. When they get to your account, they decide if they want to follow you, go to your website, or engage with your photos. So that means that your page has to look great to get the highest likelihood of a follow. This is why we sent you (or will send you) detailed and personalized suggestions for your account.
Also remember that if your content changes, your targeting will need to change. So if you start posting different content, please contact us so that we can discuss potential targeting changes. Or for example if you are an actor and are going to appear or already appeared in a film or TV show with a large following… Then it would make sense to note that in your bio, highlight a story from it, then let us know and we can target users who follow that show.
