Introduction
Hey everyone, I’m TheDutchLegend, checking in from the Netherlands. I’ve been working with Instagram for quite a long time now, experimenting with different strategies, testing countless methods, and exploring every growth tactic I could get my hands on. Over the years, I’ve had wins, I’ve had failures, but one thing’s for sure – I’ve learned a lot.
Now, I’m ready to take on my biggest Instagram challenge yet. This time, I’m not just playing around with one account or testing one niche. My goal is to grow 10 brand-new Instagram accounts from scratch – starting with zero followers – and scale each one to at least 100K followers. Once I hit that milestone, I’ll monetize them in different ways: selling shoutouts, running Instagram ads, or even flipping the accounts themselves for up to $5,000 each.
But honestly, for me, this isn’t just about the money. This is a growth experiment. I want to see how far I can push the growth rate while maintaining high-quality engagement. I’m already getting between 100 and 400 new followers daily across my accounts, but I know I can do better. I’m aiming for serious momentum.
My Tools for the Journey
To make this work, I’m keeping my setup clean, organized, and efficient:
The Plan
I’ve mapped out some clear milestones for each account. The idea is to scale steadily without burning out the audience or triggering any account bans. My growth checkpoints will be:
Once each account crosses the 100K mark, monetization will kick in. I’ll test selling shoutouts, doing brand promotions, and exploring other creative ways to turn followers into revenue. I’ll also consider selling some accounts outright – and yes, the goal price tag is around $5,000 per account.
Investment
I’m starting lean, with an initial budget of around $50+. This covers proxies, account setup, and some of the automation tools. Most of the “cost” here will be in time and effort, which I’m ready to put in.
Why I’m Sharing This
I know there are tons of Instagram journeys out there, but this one has a concrete plan, measurable targets, and a system I believe can be replicated. I’m here to document the process, share updates, and hopefully help others who want to grow their own Instagram accounts. If you’ve got questions or need advice, drop them here – I’m happy to help.
And yes… I know what you’re thinking: “Another Instagram journey?” But trust me – this one’s different. I’ve done my homework, I’ve got my setup ready, and I’m going in with both a clear plan and a clear goal.
I’ll be updating this thread every week (or as often as possible). Stay tuned – this is going to be fun.

My Tools for the Journey
To make this work, I’m keeping my setup clean, organized, and efficient:
- 10 HQ Instagram Accounts – Fresh, ready-to-grow, and niche-targeted.
- 10 High-Quality Proxies – To keep things safe and avoid linking accounts.
- Automation Bot – Handles following, liking, unfollowing, and posting on schedule.
- SocialBlade.com – To monitor stats and track progress in detail.
- Coffee – Because no Instagram empire was ever built without caffeine.
The Plan
I’ve mapped out some clear milestones for each account. The idea is to scale steadily without burning out the audience or triggering any account bans. My growth checkpoints will be:
- 5K Followers on all 10 accounts
- 10K Followers on all 10 accounts
- 25K Followers on all 10 accounts
- 50K Followers on all 10 accounts
- 100K Followers on all 10 accounts
Once each account crosses the 100K mark, monetization will kick in. I’ll test selling shoutouts, doing brand promotions, and exploring other creative ways to turn followers into revenue. I’ll also consider selling some accounts outright – and yes, the goal price tag is around $5,000 per account.
