What they did
Creators warm fresh accounts for 3-5 days, starting to post on a Monday (longer warm-up if onboarded Wednesday, shorter or more hours per day if onboarded Friday). They browse as the end user would (for SideShift: a broke college student who needs a side hustle): watch, like, comment, share on niche content at a human pace, no fast scrolling or mass interactions, since the algorithm filters bot behavior. Pitch to creators: do it right once, because the account should last a year and gain thousands of followers. Give creators a short list of account-setup rules.
“act as if you're a broke college student that like needs a side hustle and like maybe makes content already or has, you know, done side hustles in the past and just like act as if you're one of those people and just engage with that content consistently. You need You need to act human.”
“We typically do like a 3- to 5-day warmup. I like to start my creators posting on Mondays.”
“do it right the first time so that you ideally don't need to make another account and start over from scratch.”
