Instagram is HUGE. Over 1 billion people are actively using Instagram to share their lives with friends and/or growing their businesses. Competition is getting only harder. Gaining new followers isn’t an easy job even if you have a fantastic account.
Let me guess. You are here because you want to grow your Instagram account. And do it FAST. It’s overwhelming how much time it takes to produce content, write decent captions, research hashtags, and engage with your audience. And then the extra time you need to follow other people, like their posts and network with potential followers or clients.
When you start on Instagram, you are super inspired. You are exploding with excitement. You are bursting with so many plans and ideas to share with the world. And zero readers.
In this article I will share with you Top Instagram Growth Services that actually work and bring real results.
Instagram automation helps you passively gain followers while you sleep so to speak. You can automate such actions as following/unfollowing targeted accounts, viewing people’s Instagram stories, liking or commenting targeted posts, sending direct messages to a list of users.

PS Do you use TikTok? There is a new cool service that can help you with gaining thousands of new followers with close to no effort. It is called Tokker. This is the first ever service to grow your TikTok account with automatisation. Right now Tokker offers 3 different promo-tools: auto-likes, auto-follows and auto liking on comments. Once again, the service is in Russian. However, you can easily translate the website using Chrome extension. So if you are interested in TikTok and want quick results, give it a shot.
What results can you expect from Instagram automation?
Provided that you direct automation to well targeted Instagram accounts, you can expect approximately:
- 20 – 40% will return your likes;
- 15 – 50% will follow you back;
- if you use a Instagram story views for one day, you can increase traffic to your instagram account. From my experience from 600 daily visits to 8000!
So, if you like 100 photos of other users, you will get minimum 20 likes back. If you follow 100 people, you will get at least 15 new followers. The better you select your target audience, the better will be the results. If you use auto likes and auto follows, you can get around 2000 to 10000 new followers in one month.
Sounds great, right?
However, remember that no growth service can help making your account interesting. If your profile is mediocre, people won’t stay. Automation will help you grow faster but it won’t do the whole work for you. So spend the time you gained from automatising some actions to produce the best content you can. It will make a huge difference in the results!

Important Things To Do Before You Start Using Instagram Automation
- Make sure you have access to the email you assigned to your Instagram account. The email should be confirmed and approved by Instagram. This is needed in case Instagram sends you a verification email.
- Link your Instagram account to a Facebook Page. You don’t have to actively use the Facebook Page. The most important that you have one that has the same name as your Instagram account and that you link it.
- Upload a profile picture and fill out your profile. You don’t want Instagram to think that it is a fake account so spend some time to make it at least look real.
- Create at least 9 posts MANUALLY from your phone. This is again to make sure your account doesn’t look fake.
- Make sure your content doesn’t violate Instagram’s rules and policy. If you post something Instagram doesn’t like (nudity, violence and so on), you will get your account banned very quickly.
- Absolutely don’t use two or more automation/growth services at the same time. If you are changing services, wait for one week before you add your account.
- Don’t perform any liking, following/unfollowing, commenting, story viewing actions when you automise them. All you can do is upload posts and stories or reply to comments and direct messages (not sending new ones if you use Auto DM).
- If you have a newer account with less than 1000 followers, to be on the safe side, go slow and use only liking and story viewing features.
Should You Use Instagram Automation in 2019?
Some people would try to convince you that Instagram automation is dead. They’d say that you can hardly get any results with auto likes and auto follows. People also said many years ago that email marketing and blogging was going to die as well. Both are still here and working very well for most.
Perhaps automatised liking and following aren’t as efficient as, let’s say, 2-3 years ago. However they still work and many Instagram accounts are growing fast thanks to automation. In addition to that, there are new tools to add to simple likes and follows. It is auto stories views and automatic direct messages. These methods are the quickest and the cheapest way to get attention to your company right now. So why not use it?
It is truly that Instagram continuously reduces limits and puts pressure on many automation services. Many were even closed in the past years.
However, if you use these tools wisely, you can still get great results and do it faster than growing your account fully organically.
Remember that Instagram automation is there to help you grow more rapidly. In the end of the day, content is the KING. If you work hard and create great content that people actually want to see and interact with, you will have sensational results. Also, don’t forget that successful automation relies on you doing your homework in terms of refining your target audience. If you target your likes/views/follows to right people, you will have higher return per action.
And of course, don’t go beyond limits. Stay patient and play it safe.
Best of luck to you!
