I don't even have 200 followers but I still have good usage of instagram.

Ragnor with 30k+followers how many photos do you have?
Only about 60 photos. It doesn't really matter how many photos you have. Of course, if you post high quality content almost every day, you will grow a bit faster but even if you barely post photos, you can grow quite fast.
Creating good content has been my biggest problem so far. I am not a big fan of always taking photos and selfies and self-promoting myself on the internet. Most of the time when I am doing cool stuff I don't even think about taking a photo. I prefer to fully enjoy the moment.

That's really interesting. I'm currently in the process of building two IG pages myself. My main concern is actually not really follower count but engagement. The more follower one has the more engagement obviously should be on the IG page. Depending on the niche, the followers acquired through Followliker might not really be very active. So now I have to make sure that I have enough likes and comments on the pictures. I think it makes sense to space out image posting a bit more (4-5 days) so that there's more time for individual photos to amass more likes.

With this being said I believe there is huge potential in IG. If someone had the looks and would take Instagram VERY seriously (= professional photos or photos portraying a high value lifestyle), you could probably build your Instagram to a point, where nobody would doubt your high follower count and you would actually benefit from some kind of Instagram Fame. In my case (and I think in Vinny's as well, correct me if I am wrong), there is a point of diminishing returns. I am at almost 30k followers now but my IG is not that good that the 30k actually look legit. I always get asked by girls why I have so many followers, which I think is not a good sign. It just doesn't look natural any more. However, if I hired a photographer and posted only professional photos from now on, I could probably pass as a part time model (even though I am not that good looking) and all of a sudden the 30k would look real and boost my value a lot.

I guess the best baseline to compare this sort of IG game to is pipelining via tinder. So questions I have for you are:

Properly set-up IG page is half of success! High amount of followers and celebrity status is another half.

I have seen a few accounts using bots, and to be honest, to me it is pretty obvious that it is fakes and that the owner of that account just wants a lot of followers because s/he thinks a lot of followers is a sign of status. 50 hashtags for each picture is usually a sure tell. Picture not corresponding to the number of followers is another thing, like Ragnar wrote about a few posts ago.
If it could be done without using bots I'd do it, but right now I'm only following about 30 other people, and have about 200 people follow me. Most of those 200 are people I don't know. The people I follow I have a genuine interest in. It's my friends, girls I'm trying to bang or brands that I like. Having 200 random new people in my feed everyday would be annoying and completely destroy my own experience using the app.
Honestly, the only reason that I would like to have a lot of followers it to get messages back from those girls that are attracted by a high number of followers, that seems to be the exact same girl that has a lot of followers herself.

Ragnor, can I ask you how much engagement you have on your images? How many likes? Since you only have 60 pics, I can imagine that you post very rarely?

Why not turn the 200 followers into 2000 or 4000 followers? It won't hurt you at all and probably only takes 2 months. After that you can just stop the automation and unfollow everyone so that you are only following the 30 people you are interested in

How to pipeline with Instagram playing the numbers game:
1. Let your automation software unfollow all people that are not on your whitelist until you have fewer than 500 people that you are following. You don't want the girls to see that you are following thousands of other people.
2. Set your profile on private. This will increase the amount of followbacks you will get and need later. If your profile is private, the girls will have more reason to send you a follow request.
3. Stop the automation software completely until you are done with your pipelining process. This is important. If you let your automation run, you might piss off some girls by unfollowing them or by following thousands of other people in a day. Just stop the whole Instagram automation for a couple of days or even a week.
4. Search the RVF for the best bars and clubs in the city you will visit. Then search on Instagram for those places. Go through their follower list and add every halfway decent girl. You don't want to waste your time and open every girl's profile to check if she is good looking. Just add everything that looks like a girl. I also found that doing it on your PC is a lot faster than using your phone. If RVF doesn't deliver enough, just google the name of the city and the word "cafe" or "bar" or "club" and do the same. You can also search directly on Instagram for city name + bar/cafe/club. You want to find those places in a city that attract high quality girls. Another option is to find out which pages the best girls are following to find more girls who are following the same page. Fashion magazines, crossfit gyms, local celebrities (in small countries) are always good bets.
5. Wait and see who followed you back. Since you set your profile to private you will have to accept each follow request. Don't accept those requests immediately. Wait a couple of hours or even a day. You want at least 20 girls who followed you back. Sounds like a lot but if your IG is good, it will take less than an hour to get that many girls following you back.
6. After you accepted the request, it is time to DM those girls. Since they are following you now, they will get a notification as soon as you send them a message. This is the reason why having your profile on private is so important. If they don't follow you, your messages will go into their "message request" folder, they will never get a notification that you even texted them and you won't get any replies. Of course, you can also try to message the girls that didn't follow you back but it is very unlikely that they will even read your message. I found it to be more efficient to play the numbers game and open every girl with the same innocent copy & paste message to weed out the girls who are not interested in you. Usually the message revolves around me traveling to their city in the near future, asking for recommendations on what to do or opinions on the nightlife.
7. Most girls will outright ignore you. Of course it depends on how good your Instagram profile is and what kind of girls you are targeting, but don't expect more than 20% of the girls replying. After all it is a numbers game. On Tinder you also have to swipe a dozen times until you get a decent match in most cities. With those who do reply to you, just proceed with normal text game like you would on any dating app.
8. Repeat steps 4 -7 until you accumulated enough leads
9. Start your automation software again after you came back from your trip. Add all girls you want to stay in touch with to your whitelist so that your software doesn't unfollow them. Let the software unfollow all girls that didn't lead to anything.

Is it okay if my Instagram doesn't have much pictures of myself? I have very high quality pictures of places where I travel tho.
Also, I started using Instagress today, so far just liking pictures of people in the currently place that I am, since I have fresh pictures of that place aswell. Getting some likes back already. No followers tho, I think I need to follow them to have a better response. Still need to learn how Instagress works on that, because from what I quickly saw, they have automatically unfollowing feature too.

Hey guys, I want your opinion on something. Let's say you have a profile with 20-30k followers, private account, baller profile picture. Do you think a girl would give her number if you start following and DM her but don't accept her request to you follow you?
