video and you can register for one of our upcoming trainings these typically go 60 to 90 minutes depending on whatever questions you have so go ahead and click the link at the top of the description to get registered for that now instagrams limits some things to keep in mind here is that number one these are not hard and fast rules okay nobody really nobody outside of Instagram itself knows what instagrams real limits are okay or how they're calculated because it's different depending on how many followers you have how old your account is what your engagement level is what your previous level of activity is it's all calculated differently for different accounts so the limits that I'm gonna suggest in this video are from our own personal experience and also from the experience of others in other words this is just stuff that we figured out to trial and error okay but for the most part these are gonna be as accurate as anything else that you're gonna find out there so let's first talk about following and unfollowing Instagram considers follow and unfollow actions to be pretty much the same type of thing right so whether you are following or unfollowing people those actions all count against the same count okay if you know what I'm saying here so between following and I'm following you the daily limit is about a thousand follows and unn follows per day max okay that is the absolute maximum that you're probably going to be able to do sometimes you can go a little more or less depending on your account but that is the absolute maximum so between following and unfollowing this means that you could do a thousand follows per day and zero unfollow this means that you could do 500 follows and 500 unfollow you know however you want to mix this up between following on following you number of follows and unn follows combined add up to thousand that is going to be pretty much your daily limit okay see how that works that being said there is also kind of a speed limit as to how fast you can go with this you can't follow a thousand people all within a few minutes and call it a day okay you you are also rate limited to about sixty per hour okay sixty follows and or unfollow are and that will keep your account safe that'll keep you from getting locked out or temporarily suspended sometimes you can do more we've sometimes in the past been able to do up to 120 sometimes more within an hour and you know it's been okay but for the most part as long as we stay within this range of sixty per hour our accounts have been safe here's the key is that you want to start slow okay you want to start slow and then gradually increase your your level of activity week by week because what you don't want to do okay the number one thing you don't want to do here you start a brand new account have nothing posted on it have very minimal information in the bio and everything that is a number one indicator to Instagram that you are just spamming their platform and they do not like that you will get shut down pretty quick okay so start slow make sure that you're posting regularly and that you have high quality posts make sure that you're keeping your engagement level high and gradually increase your level of activity week by week okay not just what follows and on follows but also with your likes with your comments with everything else that you're doing so for example you might want to start with 100 150 follows and or unfollow spur day to your first week on Instagram okay and then each week as long as your account is good you haven't been locked out and you're doing good then increase that by 25 follows and or unfollow okay per day each week until you reach your maximum of seven hundred to a thousand per day okay max so week one will look like this okay you do one hundred follows per day we two everything's going good you can up that to 125 follows and then follows per day week three you you know again if everything's going well go ahead and increase that to 150 per day okay and you just keep on gradually increasing that weekend week now if your account gets pinged if you start getting locked out on a regular basis you probably want to back off a little bit and then once you get to a place where the Instagram is happy with your level of activity and you're in you're not getting locked out of your account then go ahead and increase that again the next week okay likes so a lot of people are finding is that you can do about one and a half times the number of followers you do per day okay that's the number of likes that you can do so if if you are following a hundred people per day then you can probably do about a hundred and fifty likes per day okay so you just take whatever number of followers you're doing and just multiply that by 1.5 okay that's maximum now what we've seen on our account is that you know even though we've got thousands and thousands of followers we typically want to stay within about 800 to 1000 per day even though we could probably do 1500 likes per day since we can do a thousand files per day if we wanted in order to keep our account safe in order to you know really not get locked out if we stick within a range of 800 to a thousand likes per day that's a good range for us okay like I said these are not hard and fast rules the the absolute upper limit is typically gonna be about 1500 but depending on your account your previous level of activity that that Instagram has seen you do this is all gonna be different for different people comments okay about 250 per day is gonna be your maximum again for us and from from what we've experienced with our account we can do about 180 to 200 comments per day and you know that's about the upper edge of what we can expect without getting locked out of our account direct messages about 50 to 80 new conversations per day is our safe zone as far as like how many can you do total I've seen people say up to 100 to 150 like I said 50 to 80 new conversations per day is our safe zone so knowing these limits what is going to be the best way to grow your following on Instagram here's the thing okay here's the number one thing that you have to keep in mind if you did a search for this video and you're watching this right now it's probably you you're looking for this information because you want to do the follow and unfollow you want to be able to gain followers through liking other posts and commenting on posts and things like that here is the number one thing you have to keep in mind is that people are on so Minea for three reasons and three reasons only okay number one is to connect number two is to share and number three is to consume content and be entertained and if you can do those three things you will be able to manage a very successful social media account wherever you are okay so follow for follow yeah there's a lot of people that poopoo that they don't like it but guess what social media is for connecting with people okay so if you follow people they want to follow you back guess what that's a connection people are also there to share okay so when the people that you are connecting with are sharing content you also want to like that stuff because that shows a platform that shows the other person that you are actually making a genuine connection that you are seeing what they're posting and that you're engaging with them and also people are there to consume content and be entertained and this is where on your part you need to post valuable stuff you need to post high-quality content on your account you can't just expect to do the follow for follow thing and grow a large social media following on Instagram and suddenly be a great influencer or get a bunch of sales and signups in your business okay it just doesn't work that way so number one before you ever even do a single follow make sure you've got a few posts okay on your County if you're starting a brand new with an Instagram account make sure that you've got a few posts on there make sure you've got your bio filled out and it's something thoughtful it's something that's descriptive make sure that you have a profile picture if you've got a link make sure that that link isn't going somewhere spammy and make sure that you've got at least three to five valuable posts that you have posted to your account make sure that they are relevant to your niche make sure that it's valuable content is not just stuff that you threw on there just to have something and here's the number one thing make sure that it's shareable stuff okay make sure that it's stuff that people will actually want to share with others and then you want to post on Instagram on a regular basis okay at least at the very least once a week if you're running a business on Instagram you you want to post something on there at least once a week the top brands the top influencers are typically posting you know maybe once a day five times a week something like that but make sure that you're posting content on a regular basis and this should really be the focus of what you're doing on Instagram you cannot ignore this when you're doing your following okay make sure that your fun make sure that you're not just following random people okay you want to find people who are interested in whatever it is that you're marketing so a quick little tip here what you want to do is find other accounts who already have the followers that you would like to have yourself okay that's one way to do this find other accounts who have the followers that you would like to have yourself people who are using hashtags that are relevant to your niche okay you want to grow a targeted following people who are going to be the most likely to be interested in what it is that you're marketing and most likely to engage with your content okay that is very important when you follow somebody go into their account and like two or three of their posts okay remember people are on there to connect to share in to consume content so when they share content you want to make sure that you are engaging with that so when you follow somebody like two or three of their posts and then also make a thoughtful comment on one of those again people are there to share content and when someone shares a piece of content and you engage with it well guess what that person is gonna be much more likely to want to connect with you once you've showed them that you are willing to engage with their content that you appreciate what they have shared and that only will they be more likely to follow you but they'll also be more likely to engage with your content as well okay when people do this follow for follow method I mean it works it really works but when people do it and it doesn't work it's because they're not doing this other stuff okay they expect to be able to do the follow for follow thing and magically have a successful business and high engagement and everything else and it just doesn't work that way if you're gonna be on social media you have to be social you have to create content okay you have to you have to create posts that are shareable that are relevant that are valuable you need to connect with other people who have similar interests people who are most likely to be interested in what it is that you're marketing and then you need to engage with them as well and here's the other thing when you do make a comment on somebody's post make it more than just two or three words okay don't just post something like oh great or I love this or an icepick right that's those are considered spam comments when someone creates a post and let's say they post a picture of their dog okay and it's it's a post that you like and you're making a comment on don't just say cute or love this pic so make sure that you're leaving comment that is thoughtful that is specific to that post or to that picture and when you do that you'll find that you'll get a much better reaction from the people that you are engaging with so I hope you've got some great information out of this video if you did be sure to subscribe and also check out the links
