Imagine if you could interact with hundreds of your competitor\u2019s fans on Instagram every day.<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

By combining the tools Audiense and <\/span>Instagress<\/span><\/a> you can do just that. I used this guide to build a $200,000\/year sales funnel in less than three months using seven Instagram profiles. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, automating your Instagram account is one of the fastest ways to build an audience of highly targeted prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are few better growth tactics for attracting high fan base engagement, link click-throughs, leads, and conversions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were looking for an automated way to grow your business, then this is the guide for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get high-level results, you have to know the top people in your industry on Instagram. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can search for industry influencers using the social discovery and interaction tool, <\/span>Audiense<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start the search process, click Target, then Discover new Instagram Users:<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to filter the results. I suggest something similar to the filters I have set below. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose whether the profile belongs to a person or a company. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also search by bio keywords and even plug-in words such as \u201cgmail\u201d to find influencers who do paid and cross-promotion. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BAMF<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a list of influencers, it\u2019s time to automate your interaction with their profiles using <\/span>Instagress<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Instagress Magic<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Ensure to set a max likes filter between 60 – 90. This ensures you\u2019re interacting with people who are more likely to notice your Like. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your \u201cUser profile filter\u201d at the level Medium and a \u201cMax followers filter\u201d at around 700. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this ensures the people you\u2019re interacting with are real and will notice your engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, set the \u201cMedia age\u201d to 2 Weeks. This way your automated interactions don\u2019t look spammy and are only used on content the followers has a stronger emotional tie to.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BAMF<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, you want to set the appropriate targeting. I set the people who I follow as those who follow the industry influencers I discovered by selecting Usernames as Followings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I select Usernames\u2019 Posts for Likers and Commenters. This ensures I only engage with active Instagram users because they\u2019re liking and commenting on the influencers\u2019 posts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BAMF<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Time to input the usernames<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"BAMF<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, we need to set automated comments for interacting with the followers of influencers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because people love their Instagram profile and tend to post random pictures, we optimize comments accordingly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, having an automated comment of \u201cthat\u2019s cool\u201d on a baby picture is not cool.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, use comments that reflect their overall love for their profile such as \u201cawesome profile,\u201d \u201cnice profile,\u201d \u201cgreat photos,\u201d and \u201ccool photos.\u201d You should have, at least, nine comments you interchange among. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, ensure you don\u2019t comment on the same users! Posting the same comment over and again on a user\u2019s profile screams spam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BAMF<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the last part, we need to implement a speed at which the auto-commenting and auto-liking will take place. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend working your way up with the speed settings Instagress provides (Slow, Normal, Fast) before having a custom speed as seen below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BAMF<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you have all your settings in order, you can begin automating your follows, unfollows, likes, and comments with your competitor\u2019s fans at a fast pace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram automation is one of the fastest ways to gain a following, build your email list, and convert fans into customers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once your Instagram automation is set up, you never have to look at it again! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it one of the most powerful growth tactics for growing your brand and generating traction.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
