How SteelAlive grows

Automate physical phones running a custom Android build that loads and unloads the whole device ROM, so each account appears to have its own unique phone. Run 12-24 Instagram accounts per phone per day (100-200 on TikTok), up to 60 comments per account per day, with human-like tapping to avoid detection. Like cold-email inbox warm-up, mix in harmless comments with no CTA or mention (talking about the video or something done with friends) so the account looks like a normal person. A normal device holds ~10 TikTok accounts before trust and reach drop.

Each account in the fleet uses a different angle: 'representing <app>', 'fitness and tech' persona, or 'I co-founded <app>' in the bio. Name, bio and on-profile content (videos about the app, Stories, Highlights) are tested to see which convert profile visits into link-in-bio clicks. Some accounts link to the App Store, others mention the brand's main Instagram page full of social proof. Whole account identities are swapped when a sub-campaign stalls.

Automated TikTok accounts posted mostly memes, clients' UGC-style videos, reposts and edits, including clients' music; some with calls to action to use the sound and film your own video. Clients paid for 1 million views. Served as proof that their automation could run accounts and get views.

Open with a hook-like personal story tied to the video, end with a soft mention instead of a call to action, and don't name the app, so people either reply asking which app (the account then follows up with the name) or visit the profile. Example: 'Once I tried working out by myself... ended up with all my muscles sore and spent a week in bed. It's wild how much I learned, though. Now I use an app for my exercises.' Variants: a buddy recommended the app and 'I'm going to try it out'. Always put at least something at the end pointing people your way.

Instead of mentioning the app, the comment mentions a clip about the app on the account's profile. Watching another video is a smaller ask than installing an app, so people visit the profile, engage with its content about the app and then click the link in bio.

Find videos with viral potential while still new and post among the first comments so the comment sits at the top and can go viral within the comment section. Skip videos that are already too old.
