The 3 Components of Successful Mass Account Creation
For our Social Marketing campaigns to reach a large scale, we need mass numbers of accounts on our network(s) of choice (Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, or whatever you promote on).
And to reach a mass scale of accs. there are three core ingredients, which will determine the success rate of the outcome.
Getting these right is most of the battle;
And to reach a mass scale of accs. there are three core ingredients, which will determine the success rate of the outcome.
Getting these right is most of the battle;
First ) A robust account creation software solution.
Hopefully the account making tool we choose can run multiple threads at the same time. Most of the free or cheap account software downloads are only single threaded. So they only work on making one account at a time.
And preferably socket based, rather than running on a browser (which really helps for speed and lower system resource usage).
It needs to have both public and proxy support. So we can choose to make cheap throw away accounts using public proxies. Or make quality accounts, using our private proxies. These will probably last longer before being suspended / roadblocked / frozen / or ghosted.
And on top of being able to use proxies, a good account making application should also have a proxy checker which determines if your proxies are suitable for the network you are working with. For example, Twitter requires certain headers for proxies to work with it. And Pinterest has its own proxy requirements. So even if you have scraped a list of public proxies and run it through a checker like Scrapebox, it is likely that many of these successful proxies will not be suitable for your campaign building. Thats why a good tool will have a checker that is specific for the social network we are working with.
Another quality function is the ability of the software to save successfully made accounts and failed attempts separately. And the ability to then retry the failed attempts, without requiring another set of emails.
Depending on the social site, our tool is more valuable if it can also update profile photos, profile bios and our URLs.
Of course there are many more factors specific to each site we are working on. But lets get to the next key ingredient.

Second ) A good supply of Email accounts
For most acc. creation software one email account is required for registering each social media acc. So we end up needing lots of email names.
The important feature is that they should be pop3 enabled, to allow the software to log into them to click the verification link sent in the new registration email. Verified Hotmail accounts can do this. And possibly even regular Hotmail (unverified) are able to do it.
Gmail accounts can be set to enable Pop3. And if you have tons of Gmails, that is great. But usually they are much more expensive to buy per thousand than Hotmails.
So the basic email of choice is Hotmail.
You can create you own Hotmail, using a Hotmail account maker.
Or you can buy them for quite cheap from a variety of sources. for $3 to $10 per thousand. If you dont have a good source of fresh hotmails, just email me and I can help.
Third ) Lots of Proxies !
Make sure to check our cheapest private proxies providers page, to get the best deals.
If you want to create authority type, long-term accs. for non-spammy promotions. And if you want these to have the lowest chance of being suspended, then Private proxies are going to be a key element of your campaigns.
Why Private Proxies?
Because no one else is using and abusing them at the same time as you are. Unlike public proxies, which tend to get used aggressively by many people simultaneously.
So although public ones are cheap (free), they get burned out and red flagged quickly by most big networks like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube etc.
Especially if you are going to go the PVA phone verified account route, you will need private Proxies which ideally come from the same country and region as each other.
For example, if you get a USA based phone number for PVA, then you had better be using a USA based proxy for getting that phone number and then for getting the Social network profile set up.
USA phone # plus USA private prxy = natural and less likely to get banned or asked for reverification.
Now for those who want to go on the cheap and dont mind having a large percentage of your accs. getting banned.
public proxies are quick to find, filter and deploy. And just pray no one else has maxed them out on your chosen network yet today.
If you can scrape unique public proxy. that are new and not abused, you have a great chance at making accs. nearly for free.
You just have to pay for your captcha solving services, or be manually solving the captchas yourself.
This still works ok on smaller social networks, who dont have millions of dollars in security and anti-spam technology.
So for more obscure networks, we can still go to town and make thousands of acc for dirt cheap.
The key here is to scrape constantly and filter and test right before running your software. And lastly, pick the fastest ones for your first run.
Then, if you havent created your required number of acc. with the fastest ones, load in your medium and slow ones. And youll be able to squeeze out a few dozen -> hundreds more per session.
