Instagram Viral "Spam" to Make $10-200. (A Must Read)

in #money7 years ago

If you are a regular Instagram user, you must have seen stories of people tagging some random "Paytm", "Amazon", "Flipkart" voucher accounts.

Anyways, here's the real story behind all of that.
.
These days, many people are making Instagram accounts with names such as #Paytm Voucher, PayTM Deals, Amazon voucher, etc.
.
After making such accounts, they put their Insta bio asking people to Follow and Mention them in a story.

But why??
.
Well, they guarantee "Free" $50 #Paytm Vouchers to first 10000 people to complete their given steps. (They offer many others things too)
.
Ahh, interesting :P
.
To win the trust of you guys, they also post some images showing snapshots of Fake messages where users got their vouchers. :P
.
Sadly. Many people fall into this trap after seeing such posts.
.
Anyways, you share a story tagging them. Many of your friends see your story, get excited and do the same. This starts a big chain of people tagging such account. :p
.
.
These accounts end up with literally 1000s of followers.
.
After gaining a certain number of followers, the account owner simply changes their Instagram account name and username. They change it to a good name. They also change their bio and delete their old voucher related posts.
.
They have the followers already :P and now their account is clean. They post some good images and get good engagement due to a huge number of followers.
.
Next thing??
.
They sell the account and make money. :P For your info, Active Instagram accounts sell for really good rates. 10k Follower accounts can easily be sold for at least $20 or more.
.
.
PS: This technique is used for other purposes as well. Many brands buy such accounts. Many fan pages are made using this process.
