The first thing that most people do when performing a background check on a brand is to check its Instagram page. Checking Instagram is a huge part of the modern-day consumer’s vetting process and it plays a huge role in determining whether or not someone will end up buying from that brand.

That is exactly why I decided to do this experiment in the first place. I committed to using an Instagram bot for the next year at our agency, as a marketing test.

So… what happened?

The great thing about Instagram Automation is that it’s incredibly easy to get started with it, and all you have to do is sign up, choose your targets and watch everything grow automatically.

However, in order to ensure success, you need to interact with your Instagram followers, use the right hashtags and get involved in all the right conversations. This process obviously requires a huge time commitment because you’ll be communicating with people from all over the world.

Now, there are two ways to minimize the amount of time it takes to grow and maintain your brand’s Instagram account:

• You can either hire a full-time Instagram Marketing Assistant, or;
• Better yet, you can use Instagram automation tools

In this article, we’re going to explore the second alternative because it’s by far the most
convenient and cost-effective one.
