Multi-account setup and the mother-child strategy

Why

Instagram limits how many actions each account can perform per day. Running one account, you hit those limits quickly. The mother-child strategy spreads the work across several child accounts that all funnel traffic back to your main (mother) account. Growbot supports this directly in the scheduling wizard with per-account quotas and rotation modes.

How to use it

1. Set up your accounts: log into each Instagram account in the same browser with Growbot installed. Growbot detects and remembers each account you use.
2. View your accounts: go to Settings and open Instagram accounts. Each account you have used with Growbot appears in the list.
3. Schedule actions across accounts: when you click Process Queue and choose Schedule Actions, the scheduling wizard includes an Instagram accounts & batch sizes section.
4. Check the accounts you want to use for this batch of actions.
5. Choose a rotation mode under "When using multiple checked accounts":
   • Sequential: fills each account's quota in list order before moving to the next. Account A gets all its actions first, then Account B, then Account C.
   • Concurrent: rotates between accounts, spreading actions across time. Actions alternate between accounts throughout the day.
6. Set per-account quotas under "Actions per account":
   • Split evenly: divides the eligible queue equally across checked accounts. The counts are calculated when you click Schedule.
   • Custom: set the number of actions for each account individually.
7. Click Schedule Action. The Actions Queue now shows actions tagged with the Instagram account they will run under.
8. Re-assign actions: in the Actions Queue, you can select actions and reassign them to a different account if needed.
9. When an action's scheduled time arrives, Growbot checks which account it is assigned to. You need to be logged into that account for the action to run. If you are logged into a different account, the action waits until you switch.

The mother-child strategy

1. Your mother account is your main brand account. Post your best content here and do high-quality, light engagement.
2. Create several child accounts in the same niche. Post similar (but not identical) content. Link the mother account in each child's bio.
3. Use Growbot on the child accounts for heavier automation: follow, like, and comment on target audiences.
4. When people follow a child account, they see the mother account linked in the bio and often follow that too.
5. Optionally, DM new child-account followers suggesting they follow the mother account.
6. The more child accounts you run, the more traffic funnels back to the mother. Each child can hit its own daily limit without affecting the others.

Tips

• Keep the mother account's automation light or manual. Child accounts can be more aggressive because they are replaceable.
• Each child account should have its own content and personality. Do not post the exact same photos across all accounts.
• Sequential rotation is simpler but means Account A hits rate limits before Account B starts. Concurrent rotation spreads the load more evenly.
• Growbot's scheduling wizard shows you the total actions and per-account breakdown before you confirm. Review it to make sure no single account is getting too many actions.
