1. Mass following

Mass following is still one of the most effective ways to promote on Instagram and attract the right audience. To promote your account with mass following, sign up, add your Instagram account and set up promotion.

Mass following works through mutual actions. You add a competitor; the system collects their followers and starts following them. Users see your activity and visit your profile, often following back and becoming potential customers. The rest depends on how engaging your content is.

If you're worried about your account being blocked, you can run a second account in parallel, link to your main one in the bio, and use your main account to reply in DMs and comments.

2. Mass liking

If you don't want to grow your following count but still need promotion, mass liking works the same way: the service uses your competitor's followers and likes their posts.

Mass liking also pairs well with mass following. With our automatic strategy, the system will follow and like the user's latest post, which builds trust and increases the chance of a follow back.

3. Direct message campaigns

Direct campaigns are still an effective way to promote. We offer:

  1. Open conversations
  2. Welcome messages
  3. Promo campaigns

1. Open-conversation campaigns help you stay in touch with people you've already talked to. You can send a new offer or announce a promo. Everyone you've ever chatted with in DMs can get your message. This is one of the safest options with fewer limits or blocks.

2. Welcome messages go to new followers. You can introduce yourself or offer something as a thank you. We send them in batches throughout the day to reduce the risk of limits or blocks.

3. Promo campaigns let you send messages by different criteria, for example:

  • Competitor's latest followers
  • People who like your competitor's posts
  • All your followers
  • By hashtag, etc.

Keep your messages varied, including different texts. We don't allow active links to third-party sites in campaigns, to protect you from temporary or full account blocks.

4. Keeping your Instagram account safe

We don't hack or take over accounts, and we don't use your account for anything else. We don't store or pass on your Instagram password.

If you've used your Instagram account with other services before, we recommend changing your password before adding it to Bridgit. Please also follow our guidelines – bridgit.me/docs/chto-nelzya-i-mozhno-delat – to avoid limits and blocks.

5. Summary

  • If your main account is important, use a backup account for promotion
