Instagram Bot Insights! Strategy and Tactics for Instazood
Instagram bots are currently the absolute hype, not only among bloggers but also among companies. Since we deal with the topic of social media marketing and all its facets on a daily basis, and also receive daily inquiries from companies and, of course, bloggers, we wanted to take the time to illuminate the functionality, strategies and effects of bots in detail. First of all, we would like to establish how a social bot works.
How does an Instagram bot work?
The various free and paid offerings or apps were created to allow you to generate organic growth without investing your own time or the time of your employees.
The software ensures that Likes are automatically submitted, i.e. “Like” statements for individual images and videos. The bot also ensures that comments are posted. Likewise, you can follow and later unfollow people.
The principle is built on generating reaction, even through interaction.
So when we post likes or a comment, the respective user becomes aware of us, looks at the profile, maybe likes a few of our pictures, comments himself or even follows the channel. This way, we would have achieved the ultimate goal flawlessly and ensure organic interaction of our own channel on Instagram.
- Organic growth
- Less time investment
- Software interacts automatically
- Function: Interaction
Bot mimic human interaction on Instagram
Social media bots are programmed to mimic human interactions. That means, for example, the swipe of a finger on a smartphone or the movement of a mouse pointer. The tool clicks on individual images without interacting with the content, while giving others a like. All of this is meant to mimic human behavior in order to counteract admonishments, warnings or even restrictions from Instagram.
The principle is of course controversial and naturally also causes great distortions in Instagram. Various examples show how fake Instagram channels were built up, which then in turn generated real revenue. Behind this, however, there was no real person, but stock photos, planning with Hootsuite and of course the targeted purchase of likes and comments.
- Human interaction
- Distortions on Instagram
- Criticism
- Fake channels
Comments and interaction: Article Spinning
Ever heard of content spinning? With it you can vary comments that are set via social bots to not always post “very nice”, “very nice”, … we now have a new article in which you can learn as a social media manager how content spinning works.
Fake Instagram Account! That’s how easy it is to cash in
Just how quickly you can build a fake channel was shown a few days ago by WDR in this great 12-minute documentary on the topic: fake channels on Instagram.
Stop. A bot provides for organic reach, not for “bought fans
An Instagram bot has nothing to do with buying likes or comments. In theory, the bot replaces a human employee whose job it is to provide interaction on social networks every day. E.g. on Instagram, one of the most popular new social networks in the world. Not quite 10 years in the market, Instagram will soon have over a billion users, according to the company’s founder’s current projections. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger are both only 31 years old.
The extreme power of Instagram shows not only in advertising, but also in the media. Bloggers are getting more and more attention and higher and higher placements even in TV formats. Likewise at the various events around the world.
If you invite a blogger, you are assured of reach.
- Organic reach
- Bot instead of employee
- 10 years in the market, almost 1 billion users
- Blogger and Influencer Trend
- Cross-media
- Reach, strongest currency
Reach is the currency you go into the market with as a blogger
Reach(followers) determines success and failure. Who can show more reach, whose channel is theoretically worth more. With every new thousand-step or ten-thousand-step, the chance of getting bigger postings increases. That’s why Instagram bots are so extremely popular with users.
Social bots in companies and enterprises
Companies and businesses are also increasingly using Instagram Bot to market their own company, products and services. Of course, many also risk warnings from Instagram. To prevent this from happening, we wanted to show in this free blog post how to use an Instagram bot first, so that the risk of suffering restrictions is minimized.
Let’s be honest, more and more processes in everyday life are being solved by software or by robots. A few years ago, extra editors were hired who came fresh out of university and then had to do a year of internship. Today, software like Instazood does that for $9 a month. Now let’s take an in-depth look at the use of social media bots for followers.
Here’s how: Instagram bot function
The A&O of the software is generate reach
Of course, we could write extremely much in this tutorial and go into extremely many points in great detail. What we would like to do first, however, is to give a rough insight, so that you do not have to approach the application method yourself, but can directly ensure optimal functionality. The first step is always about the creation of new promotions.
A promotion involves targeting our spots to fans of a specific account. What does that mean?
If we want to promote a hardware store or tool manufacturer, for example, we enter the Instagram user @DasHandwerk. Our boat will now give“Like” statements to all fans of this channel and he will comment on photos and videos. What is the advantage?
Promotion by user: promote followers
Through the targeted promotion to the followers of a particular channel, the target group is very narrow. For example, if you work for our tool company, then it would be obvious to take a group that is close to the craft. Those who have already expressed an interest in tool companies or in groups related to construction will most likely respond to other Instagram channels where he or she gets similar content. So now, when we direct a specific promotion, to a channel in our Instagram bot, their followers will be played with our interactions in hopes of gaining interaction back.
Promotion by hashtag: using themes
Promotion by hashtag works on the same principle. However, the promotion is based on the use of a hashtag. If a user enters this hashtag within Instagram, for example #handwerk, the Instagram bot will interact with his posting. Due to the fact that this post is already in a similar thematic segment, the probability that the respective user will interact with us is also high here.
Promotion by location: Regional advertising
You can also send targeted likes and comments by location. To do this, you simply create a new promotion in the Instagram bot and search for the respective location. This method is of course extremely well suited for promotions that have a regional reference. If we make a regional advertising campaign for the Berlin area, for example, we can target people who are or have been in Berlin. This way, the scatter effects of the individual campaign are of course much lower and thus the effectiveness is significantly higher.
Pro! Promotion by targets through CSV import
If you have a dedicated IT department in your company, you can also issue lists to target people by the ID of their Instagram accounts. However, this is a bit more complex and will not be covered in this short tutorial. Because: For 95% of all companies and businesses, it is absolutely sufficient if they target on subscribers and on hashtags.
The promotion is on: Likes, comments and followers
Once we have created our first promotions, we can now see them in our dashboard. Here we have the individual channels or hashtags neatly listed next to each other. The green background color shows on which channel the bot is currently active.
One has three functional fields: Likes, Comments, and Subscribers. Each field can be activated and deactivated. If you deactivate the likes, no new likes will be given. If you deactivate the comments, the bot will no longer post comments, the same happens with subscribers. Especially with the subscribers “follow function” you should be careful. Imagine a big megastar follows 5,000 people himself. Another megastar only follows 50 people. Which channel seems more exclusive? Especially for companies and businesses you should not overdo it, maybe Likes and comments are enough to get reactions from other users.
- Active promotions in the dashboard
- Like – Activation / Deactivation
- Comment – Activation / Deactivation
- Follower / Unfollow – Activation / Deactivation
Analysis and evaluations of the promotion
Before we get to the conversion analysis, let’s take a quick look at the “Skip” field. Skipped shows how many channels were skipped due to the settings (Settings > Filters). Here you can set the properties of the followers you want our bot to interact with. Here is another screenshot of possible settings:
Particularly interesting are only the “conversations”. The higher this percentage is, the more effective the individual promotion is. So if we have 20 different promotion targets and we now have a range of one percent to 1% to 12%, we can disable 10 of the promotion that don’t bring the effectiveness as the top 50%. So we can gradually select which promotion is profitable and which is not.
In the “Status” you can only select if a promotion is active, paused or even if it should be deleted.
Pros. Spin comments with text variables
Uniqueness, unique content, is always important when it comes to content ratings. If every comment is “nice!”, it doesn’t look very creative to users. Among many other features, as well as setting the speed of likes or comments or even linking from likes and comments or separating them, as well as specifying maximum likes and minimums, there remains one important feature that should be mentioned! It is called comment spinning.
Spinning is about combining different variables. If we keep the principle very simple it would look like this
- Hi great picture
- Really nice photo
- Wonderful photo
- Wonderful picture
- Hi great photo
- Really great picture
- …
This is how the spinning text looks like:
{Hi|Hi great|Really beautiful|Really great|Wonderful} {Photo|Image}
If you lengthen the brackets enough and put several in a row, new comments will keep appearing. This again helps in hiding the activities through a social media tool but also for the variants of comments that can be seen by the users. Through this feature, you can individualize your comments. What helps here is to also use some longer text or emoticons. You can find a detailed list here, Emoticon List.
Those who manage several channels can also use a little trick here, by marking with @Name in the various comments, you can point users not only to their own channel, but also to the other channel. Especially with private-looking people or bloggers, this is a great thing. A tag could look like this:
- @Name check out this great picture!
Two birds with one stone. That’s how Instazood works.
Content spinning with comments in Instagram
Ever heard of content spinning? With it you can vary comments that are set via social bots to not always post “very nice”, “very nice”, … we now have a new article in which you can learn as a social media manager how content spinning works.
These were the basic functions of the bot. Of course, the tools can do more, a nice feature that I still want to introduce are automatic postings and publications.
Automatic postings: publications according to schedule
If you don’t have a second tool for publishing media content, such as the content marketing planning tool Hootsuite, you can also publish media content directly and immediately here in the Instagram bot. To do this, you simply select content that you have on your own computer. You upload it and determine at what time the media should be published.
This saves an extremely large amount of time at work. Because every evening or every morning or even afternoon there is no need to post. So if you don’t have time, the software takes care of everything. So you can sit down on a Sunday with a cup of tea and plan all the posts for the coming days and weeks. The software then automatically takes over the publication of the content on Instagram. Individual posts can still be posted in addition, as well as you still have the interaction option of Instagram Stories. Anyone who knows how time-consuming it is to make one or two posts every day will especially like the pre-planning of content!
Conclusion: Social bots for Instagram are extremely effective for followers
Instagram bots make life easier for agencies, companies and businesses. In the past, employees were hired to perform hands on tasks. Much like car manufacturing, robots and software are taking over more and more simple work. Even in generating interaction and reach or followers, the work that is simple is shifting to social media tools. As campaigns become more complex and social media managers focus on context and more complex media constructs, simple tasks have slipped into the hands of bots at many companies. Not only are they extremely cheap, but they are also extremely efficient and know no working hours.
