If there are views from organic traffic (recommendation system), the social network trusts you. - **Myth 1: Views Indicate Warm-up Quality** [01:40] — A well-warmed account does not necessarily have millions of views; it may just have been running longer. The social network better understands which audience to promote to, which is the next stage of optimization. - **Myth 2: Warming Up is Too Difficult** [02:22] — This myth comes from Facebook targeting guides, where warm-up rules are complex (e.g., account region must match target region, spending limits). For free traffic, warm-up is lighter. - **Stage 1: Device Preparation** [03:34] — Social networks create a fingerprint based on device data and software. They track activity via cookies and on specific sites.

If it gets at least 100 views in 24 hours, account is warmed up. Good: post any edited original video. If zero views, repeat after 5-10 days or create a new account. - **Purchased Accounts** [13:12] — After logging into a purchased account from a new device, do not publish or change profile for 3 days. Recommended to buy zero accounts or those already filled for your topic. FB Store is mentioned as a source. - **Success Criterion** [15:07] — The only criterion for successful warm-up is the presence of views from recommendation systems. How to get many views will be discussed in a future video. ### Conclusion Successful account warming is measured by views from recommendation systems, not by complex rituals. Follow the simple steps: prepare your device, register properly, warm up with basic activity, and upload a trustworthy first video. ## Transcript videos so I can get views and avoid getting blocked? In this video, we'll discuss and dispel the main myths about account warming up, of which there are a lot here, as, in principle, everywhere in conditionally free traffic. You'll receive a clear action plan, as well as a list of tasks that you shouldn't do, because they're all myths or scams from infocygans who don't know how to sell themselves, but are teaching you. this video is provided for informational and educational purposes only. actions shown in the video. The material demonstrates only the technical marketing and traffic arbitrage. The author's task is to show how it works on the And let's start from the very base. What is account warming up anyway? This is the process by which we show social networks that we are a real person, not a robot, and that we create our person, not a robot, and that we create our account for uploading content, not spam. The result of warming up an account is access to recommendation systems. That is, if our account gets recommended at all and gets at least a few views, we've warmed up the account and it's ready to be uploaded. We can tell whether an account is warmed up or not by simply uploading the first video to any of the three social networks. This is Instagram, YouTube and [music] TikTok. Using Instagram as an example, I'll go to my account statistics, [music] video statistics. And here we look at traffic sources. And there are two tabs here. This is res. And what's interesting there are two tabs here. This is res. And what's interesting is the tabs with organic traffic, that is, with a recommendation system. If there are any views from there at all, it means that the social network already trusts us. And then our task is to collect more views with quality content. And let's dispel two myths. The first is that a well-warmed account has millions of views, while a poorly warmed one has hundreds, tens, and so on. So, if one account has millions of views, and another has only dozens, despite the fact that the content is identical, this means that the first account, with more views, has simply been running for longer, and the social network has a better understanding of which audience to promote its content to. This is no longer warming up the account, but the next stage - work and their optimization. And the second myth is that warming up an account to fill it with conditionally free traffic is too difficult. This myth came from [music] guides on warming up accounts for targeting on Facebook. So, in Target on Facebook, the warm-up rules are extremely complex. For example, you knew that if your account is registered in Russia and you send traffic to America, it will be blocked. And to pour money into America, you need an account created in America. That is, the account should be registered in the region we upload to day, for example, if you just started uploading ads from your account, Facebook will not let you spend, for example, $1,000 per day, for example, $1,000 per day, a maximum of $100-200. and gradually increase the daily limit by 30% once a day. And if we want to if we want to spin $1,000 a day from the very first day, then we need to buy an account that will warm up to exactly that amount. Account purchases, business manager purchases, trust card purchases. All of this relates to targeting on Facebook and has nothing to do with conditionally free traffic. Here the warm-up is more light, and what exactly needs to be done will be discussed in the following points. Stage one. Preparing the device for traffic flooding. Yes, social networks look at your device before deciding whether to include you in their recommendations or not. Based on data about your device and the software installed on it, they create a installed on it, they create a fingerprint. It's like an impersonal portrait of you as an internet user. Based on this data, websites recognize us, and social networks pay most attention to our activity on websites in general, this is called cookies, as well as to our activity on a specific website from which we intend to send traffic. So Instagram watches how we behave on Instagram, TikTok watches how we behave on TikTok. And here we have restrictions, firstly, on the number of accounts, and also on the number of banned accounts. Here, first of all, it is important to understand. All three social networks have different rules and restrictions. If we're talking about YouTube, there are no restrictions on the number of accounts on a device, nor on the number of bans. We can have an infinite number of accounts on a device if we are talking about YouTube. We can log out from one email and log in to another. We can link up to 100 accounts to one email . This is officially allowed by Google. Here. Note. In general, YouTube is the least problematic in this regard. But if we're talking about TikTok and Instagram, things are much stricter there. Both social networks have a limit of up to 10 accounts per device. And at the same time, both social networks also look to see if we have had banned accounts. If so, then this is a disadvantage for us. If we have one blocked account, then it’s not so bad. But if there are two, then this is already an alarm bell. And if we register another new account after all this on TikTok or Instagram, we might not be included in the recommendations. It will look like this. We look at our account history. History of ReS layout. And here are a couple of views under each reel. Although we have published quite a lot of videos. This is an example of my old account. If we have such a limitation, then we have two options. The first is to reset the device. We simply press reset to factory settings and after reactivation it is already perceived after reactivation it is already perceived as new. The second solution is to use additional devices. If you have another old phone, or you bought a new one, or you have an iPad, then you can upload from them and also adhere to the limit of up to 10 accounts on one device. Or you can use a browser with mobile profiles. I use mologs for this. Here we go to the browser interface and see mobile profiles. And here, each mobile profile is like a new phone. Accordingly, we can upload from it to Instagram and TikTok. And keep up to ten accounts on each mobile profile . Link to login in description. Go ahead, [music] study. And good luck with your bays. Let's move on to registering accounts. And in the case of YouTube, we do this on temporary numbers, because you can’t receive SMS on a Russian number. And we select numbers from countries that are not blocked. And it can be absolutely any country, regardless of which region we are going to upload to. [music] That is, yes, we can conditionally receive a message on a Kyrgyzstani phone number, and on a Kyrgyzstani phone number, and then forward the traffic to the USA. This is possible. This does not limit us in any way. And in the case of temporary numbers, you need to be patient, because, yes, the SMS does not arrive the first time. There you have to change your phone number several times to finally receive the SMS. Yes, that's how it works. Be patient and choose services that patient and choose services that Instagram, it is also better to register an account using a phone number. You can then unlink it in the settings. And after registration, we link an email, through which we then log into the account in subsequent times. We register using a phone number, link an email address, and unlink the phone number 3-4 days after registration. And this needs to be done because our account will then be assigned to the temporary number, and then someone who uses our phone number next time will be able to regain access to our account. And be sure to set up two-step authentication. [music] And in the case of TikTok, we register an account either on Gmail or on Outlook. Yes, it used to be possible to register TikTok accounts using temporary email addresses, but temporary email addresses, but this option has now been discontinued. Creating and registering an Outlook or Gmail account is no longer a problem. And now we move on to the most interesting part. Warming up the account before uploading. Here we need to show uploading. Here we need to show that we are human, namely, to create a typical behavioral model of a social network user. And here are the most myths. And the first thing you need to know is that there is a myth on the internet that if we want to upload to a product, then we need to watch a video about the product from our account. Supposedly, we are interested in the product, and, accordingly, our content will also be interesting to people who are interested in the product. So, who's telling you that in order to get into our topic you supposedly need to watch videos on this topic? These are liars who don't generate traffic themselves and don't know how it all works. Our viewing history does not affect the viewing history does not affect the audience we reach. Even the CEO of Instagram himself said that this is a myth, and he doesn’t know how people fall for it . Here's what we need to do to warm up our account. Here, everything is actually as simple as possible. This means watching about 10 short videos and, in the case of YouTube, watching about five long ones. This data will be enough for social networks to shape our interests. And we need our recommendation feed to be optimized. For example, I go to Instagram and start For example, I go to Instagram and start watching videos on neural networks, namely TV series and generations. Accordingly, I watch them, and the next time I go to Instagram and see that the social network immediately gives me similar videos, that is, generations, [music], then that’s it, my recommendation feed is optimized, and I can move on to the next step. It works exactly the same on TikTok and YouTube . And warming up can be combined with resting. The "bloat" period is the days after registration when we don't publish anything. We can simultaneously do some downtime and warm up the account. The three social networks have different shelf life. For YouTube it's 3 days, for TikTok it's 1 day, and for Instagram it's 7 days. After this interval, we can move on to uploading the video. But what kind of video to upload, we’ll talk about in the next point. Trustworthy first video. And now we have moved on to the final stage of warming up our account. And here we need to publish content that will prove to social networks that we are not a robot. And here there are two options: ideal and just good. If we have a physical device, not a browser with mobile profiles, then we take the main camera and shoot a ten-second video with it, and then upload it to our social network without editing. We put on some music, add a random description and publish accordingly. And after about a day, And after about a day, views should appear on this video. And if there are at least 100 views, then I congratulate you. We've successfully warmed up our account and can now move on to publishing content, setting up social media algorithms, and, accordingly, promoting our account. And a simply good option is to post any video that we have edited and that is not a re-upload. For example, this could be where we add a huge amount of editing and sounds. In general, the social network understands that this is our original content. And even if he sees some re-uploaded episodes, it’s no longer a re-upload, but a bona fide borrowing. Then everything is the same. If we see at least 100 views after 24 hours , then we have successfully passed the warm-up stage. If the videos have zero views, then we haven't warmed up yet, and we can repeat this operation after 5-10 days. If we don't see progress, then we'll get rid of our account and create a new one. What about the purchased account? There 's a specific algorithm here too, although it's much simpler than with a registered account, regardless of whether we bought a zero account or one with content already, after logging in from a new device, we don't publish anything for 3 days. We can view content, like, comment, and communicate, but we cannot publish content, nor can we change the profile description, bio link, or avatar. Because when we log into an already registered account from a new device, the social network allows for the possibility that this has been hacked and the account has been stolen. And, accordingly, if the has been stolen. And, accordingly, if the avatar, description, and everything else instantly changed, and content began to be published immediately, then this is very suspicious. If we do this after 3 days, then everything is fine. I had stories where I bought a ready-made account with subscribers and optimized for my audience, and I got blocked there. I recommend purchasing two types of accounts. Either zero, without content, or already filled in for our topic. This is done to speed up the process of filling traffic with short videos. FB Store online store. Let's go to the main page. Here we see sections for TikTok, Instagram, and everything else. I'll choose Instagram. And, accordingly, we see the accounts available to us accordingly, we see the accounts available to us , read the descriptions, choose the most suitable ones for us, and, accordingly, purchase them and start pouring from them. The only criterion for successfully warming up our account is the presence of views from recommendation systems. In TikTok, yes, it has its own section. On YouTube, these are content selection and recommendation functions. on Instagram. These are also interesting. But how to get a lot of views, and right away, will be discussed in one of the next videos. Subscribe to the channel and wait for the release. By the way, I recently talked about the free traffic. To do this, watch this video, and after it, you will have no doubts about which source to choose specifically for your source to choose specifically for your topic. Good luck.
