The first 24 hours
New accounts start in Warming up mode. Growth begins slowly to keep your account safe. Warming up can take up to 24 hours, depending on your profile. After that, growth picks up gradually.
What affects your growth
Your niche
Broad niches like fitness or travel have large audiences and usually grow faster. Smaller niches grow slower, but the followers you gain tend to engage more.
Your targets
Similar accounts are the strongest signal Kicksta uses. Relevant, active targets bring better results than very large or off-topic ones. Add at least 3.
Your audience filters
Every filter narrows your audience. Tight filters bring more relevant followers but can slow growth.
Your profile and content
People decide whether to follow you based on what they see. A clear bio, a good profile photo and regular posts make a big difference.
Your AI training
The more profiles you rate on the AI training page, the better Kicksta understands who to reach.
Tracking your pace

Growth feels slow?
Check your Audience preview. If your estimated audience is low, loosen a filter or add more targets.
Check Top sources on the Overview page, and replace targets that aren't bringing followers.
