Hey everyone,


I thought it would be a great time to share my current journey and goals with you all. Right now, it’s March 26, and at this very moment, I’m making a little over $5 per day through YouTube. It’s not life-changing money, but it’s proof that my efforts so far have potential. The results I’m getting with YT are motivating, but I can’t help thinking: what if I could make even more with Instagram?


That’s exactly the next step I’m taking — I’m shifting part of my focus toward Instagram to see if I can outperform my current YT results. I want to compare the two platforms side by side, not only in terms of revenue but also in sustainability and growth potential.


Why Instagram?​


Instagram has a huge, highly engaged user base, and with the right targeting, it’s possible to drive consistent traffic to CPA offers. I’ve seen others pulling impressive numbers with IG + CPA, and I want to test it myself. I already have a reliable Instagram account provider and some proxies that I believe are solid. But here’s the thing — I’m always looking for improvements. If anyone has experience with truly tested and proven proxy providers for Instagram, I’m all ears.

My Setup​


  • CPA Network: OGAds
  • Accounts Managed With: Jarvee
  • Growth Method: Follow–Unfollow + Engagement (likes on photos)
  • Proxy Setup: Currently using what I believe are good ones, but still exploring better options.
  • Instagram Accounts: Started today with 4 fresh accounts.

I’ve set up my accounts in Jarvee with a low-aggression profile because I know how important warming up is. The last thing I want is to lose accounts early in the process just because I was impatient. Right now, the accounts are following people and liking their photos gradually — the idea is to appear as natural as possible while slowly building a base audience.


My Current Numbers​


  • YouTube: ~$5/day (current average)
  • Instagram: Just started — no results yet.
  • Goal: $50/day combined, with IG potentially overtaking YT as my main earner.

My Strategy Going Forward​


For the next few weeks, I’ll be focusing heavily on growing the IG accounts, tracking how each one performs, and testing different approaches to sending traffic to my offers. Since I’m using OGAds, I’ll mainly be promoting mobile-friendly CPA offers that fit well with my audience targeting.


Jarvee will handle the automation, but I’ll still be monitoring everything closely to avoid bans or red flags. I’m planning to expand the number of accounts once the first 4 show signs of stability and traffic generation. The ultimate aim is to scale while maintaining account health — slow, steady, and strategic growth.


I’ll be documenting all the wins, losses, experiments, and lessons here. Whether IG ends up beating YT for me or not, I know there’s going to be a lot to learn from this comparison.


Let’s see if Instagram can push me from $5/day to $50/day and beyond.
