Step 1: Add your Instagram account
Sign up and enter your Instagram username. Kicksta never asks for your password.
Step 2: Add similar accounts
Go to Targeting and find the Similar accounts section.
Search for competitors, creators or brands whose audience you want.
Or pick from the suggestions under Accounts similar to yours by clicking +.
Add at least 3. Similar accounts are the strongest signal Kicksta uses to find your followers.
Step 3: Add locations (optional)
In the Locations section, add the countries where your audience lives. If you leave this empty, Kicksta reaches people anywhere.
Step 4: Add hashtags (optional)
In the Hashtags section, type a hashtag your audience uses and press Enter. To add several at once, paste them separated by spaces or commas.
Step 5: Set your audience filters
In Audience filters, choose:
Gender and age range
Interests that match your niche
Language
Quality settings, like skipping likely bots and spam (on by default)
Check the Audience preview panel to see an estimate of how many people your settings will reach.
Step 6: Train your ideal follower
Go to AI training and swipe yes or no on sample profiles. Kicksta learns from your choices.
Step 7: Let growth warm up
Your account starts in Warming up mode. This can take up to 24 hours, depending on your profile. After that, new followers show up on your Overview and Analytics pages.
