Has anyone *actually* gotten a bang from this? I've messaged 6-7 girls, all 8s, 9s, or 10s, and no response (Anything less than an 8 I can get via Tinder for barely any effort at all). I have interesting photos and lots of fitness stuff and shots of my abs.

I only have 400 followers so far, fair, but I have the feeling you have to be a 10/10 facial aesthetics dude to get the top-tier girls.

I managed to even with my 500 followers. The super hot chicks are already getting hit up in their DMs already so of course they will ignore a guy with only 400 followers. Besides i'm using mine for when I actually meet girls in the real world, not to hit up chicks I don't know. That's adding to their thirst brigade.

Right, so you mean you meant you met the girl outside of Instagram, and used Instagram for social proof?

I was asking if anyone has successfully cold opened a girl on Instagram, got the number, got the meet, and got the bang.

Yeah fool, that's what I am telling you. I cold messaged her. She was a "model" off some photographer's page. I messaged her and every other model. She was the only one who responded with solid interest. Now I'm using it only for social proof.

Nice. What did you open with, and how many chicks did you have to message to get the one response?

My Tinder messaging game is on point but I'm curious how you have to phrase things with Instagram given that girls aren't necessarily looking to hook up.

I hit them all with "Are you a model?" a third responded back with yes and some said yes with smiley faces and hearts(5-10%). From there I said wow i'm starting photography and would love to shoot someone as beautiful as you on day. From there the ones who responded I followed up with standard game, what do you do, where did you grow up, etc etc. Then hit my girl with the you seem cool for a model, what's your number. She gave me the digits, but my plates were supersaturated at the time so I didn't respond back to her giving me her number for a few days.

She obviously is not used to guys ignoring her message so she messaged me again with question marks and angry face. From there texted her, sent some selfies when I wasn't busy and met up like 2 weeks later. I could tell she had multiple guys getting at her at once, so i limited my texting and how quickly I responded as to not wear off novelty. Set a date to meet and from there was standard don't fuck it up game.

[pancakemouse]

Thanks, that's helpful.

So you never ended up photographing her? That's funny, I'm surprised you didn't get put in the "would not bang" zone since you opened her like it was a business proposition.

[toejam]

@coverdoc was the date a "let's connect and shoot" or was it standard let's meet for a date scenario?

[coverdoc]

It was a date scenario. I told these girls I just started studying photography, not that I was an actual photographer. And literally ran game like I was interested in hanging out. If they were interested they didn't care that I didn't have any damn pics of anything other than myself doing dumb shit. What's funny is a few times some of these models hit me with the "do you need something" line. I couldn't help but think back to the Instagram whore dubai shit thread lol.

My boostgram trial has just ended.

My followers increased by 60.

Stats to date are 137 followers, 484 following and 389 non-followers. I'll mass prune the non-followers tomorrow with crowdfire.

At the minute my profile after three days on boostgram is still in DLV mode.

I don't think boostram would ever be worth the money.

I have a two-week sailing holiday round the Canary Islands beginning at the end of next week so I plan to have my profile in DHV mode by then (less non-followers) to match sailing pictures, which are in theory, a good demonstration of higher value. If my IG is still in the doldrums after being packed with sailing pics and spurred along by an automated program, then there is something profoundly wrong with me or men's general IG value.

I've gained less than 100 followers aswell with instagress trial, but i got many likes on my pictures. I think it's easier to gain new followers when you already have >1000 followers and alot of cool pictures.

Just curious about your guys' FL settings:

How many accounts do you have FL setup to ping their users?
I'm targeting fashion and fitness users so I'm pinging three of each at the moment, do I need more?

Next I'm exploring hashtags

Edit: basically I want to be sure I'm firing FL on all it's cylinders and not half-assing. How many accounts/hashtags should I be pinging the follower bases of?

[Guayacan]

If a hot girl doesn't follow you, but likes one or two of your pics of yourself. How'd you go about gaming the girl?

It depends how many followers those pages have. I usually use 6 pages too, but in total I have about 10 pages I am getting users from. After some time it is important to change up the pages every once in a while in order to keep growing at the same pace. Otherwise you will just follow old users of those pages that are not active any more.

More than likely she is running game by getting you to follow her by liking your pics and not following back.

On another note, been using FL for about 24 hours(3 am to 3 am next day) now and got ~200 new followers and a shit ton of likes, a few comments and one DM from a pretty cute university chick living in Canada. Told me I was "very cute." My pictures are pretty good and I started with 500 followers to begin with and have had my account for over 9 months but stop posting 3 months ago. Will update in a week.

Seems like a lot of you guys are gaining a huge amount of followers per day. I'm currently running instagress and have gained about 700 followers in 1 month.

I'm liking around 800 pics a day
Commenting around 400
Following around 400

However I am posting pics max once a week, which I think is the weak link.

Question: FL or instagress? How often do you guys post new content?

Cheers

That's about 6% follow back rate and an indicator for either targeting the wrong people or your page not looking good enough or having too many followings. If your instagram page says that your are following thousands of people, the people you follow will know that you just follow them for the sake of getting followed back. Try to unfollow users from time to time too.

My follow back rate is between 10 and 20% yielding between 100 and 200 new followers per day if I am doing more than 1000 follows.

[JayD]

I'm giving this a shot, my pics aint all that great but will post results after my Instagress trial ends then will follow through with a Boostgress trial.

So far about a 6% conversion rate on the follow backs, higher likes and responds to my comments compared to follows, will update soon.

[Guayacan]

Is one pic/week good?

[coverdoc]

My follow back rate is at about 20%, just be sure you're pictures reflect your query niche. If so you should be fine, about half the people who follow me back like a lot of my recent pics.

[Guayacan]

Try putting a limit on how many followers they have too. If they have alot of followers they're less likely to follow you back

[Barron]

It worked well for the first 24 hours.

I'm using the imristo.com guide's settings for my FL and after getting 120 new followers my automation kicked in and FL has stopped working with the message: All tasks have reached their daily limit*.

But my settings are that it only stops for 1 minute between 11:59pm and 12:00am and it refuses to resume scraping users & following after that time.

[pancakemouse]

So I'm cheap and have tried out three day trials of three different services so far:

Boostgram ($99/month) - 87 followers
Instagress ($9.99/month) - 79 followers
Archie.co ($29/month) - 55 followers

Seems like Instagress is the best option.

However, Archie only uses likes (not follows/unfollows) so if you want a lower-risk option, that may be best. If anyone wants to try out Archie, I'll drop my referral link here (I get 3 free days for each person that tries it out, help me be more cheap)

Don't overdo it, especially if you have a new account. Too much traffic and you will get banned.

How to find your niche? I used to travel alot and do martial arts but i've pretty much lost all these pics. Now i'm just a standard college student
