Creating schedules requires you going to your campaign and clicking on View Schedule then click on the time slot for each day using the information below then copy to other days

---

Example Priming Daily Schedule (TikTok & Instagram)

Time	Activity	Action
12 PM	Search Video	Like 5–10
4 PM	Search Tags	Like 5–10
8 PM	Search Tags	Like 5–10, Comment 2-5
1 AM	View FYP	Like 5–10, Comment 2-5
8 AM	View FYP	Like 5–10, Comment 2-5

Save this as “Priming Schedule.” by clicking on Save Template
Clear this schedule and create your Normal Schedule.

---

Step 2: Creating Your Normal Schedule

Time	Activity	Action
8 AM	View FYP	Like 15–20, Follow 5–10
12 PM	Search Account	Like 1, Repost 1
4 PM	View Profile Stats	Sync profile data
8 PM	Create Post	Publish from content queue
1 AM	View FYP	Comment 5–10

Save this as “Normal Schedule.”

✅ Repeat the same scheduling steps for Instagram campaigns as well.
Each Instagram campaign should have its own priming and normal schedules.

---

Step 3: Switching Schedules

2. Then go to Clear Schedule → Load Normal Schedule.
3. Your full automation is now active 🎯.

💡 Tip: Always keep a delay of at least
10 × (your total number of accounts) minutes between each scheduled action.
Example: If running 10 accounts, leave about 1 hour between each schedule block.

---

Chapter 6 : Aggressive Growth Schedule (Optional)

After your accounts have been primed and have run on the Normal Schedule for some week, you can activate the Aggressive Schedule to accelerate growth.
This schedule makes your child accounts act like active fans that promote and interact with your mother accounts, while still behaving naturally.

---

🎯 Goal

• Increase the reach of your mother accounts
• Make child accounts tag, follow, and recommend the mother accounts in comments
• Engage more frequently with the niche community
• Automate follow/unfollow cycles safely

---

🧠 Core Behavior

1. Comment Tagging – Children mention or recommend the mother accounts using an AI comment prompt.
2. Follow/Unfollow – They follow new niche users and remove inactive ones to refresh visibility.
3. High-Frequency Interaction – Likes, comments, reposts, and bio visits at 3-4 × normal activity.
4. Niche-Scoped Scheduling – Runs only for accounts in a selected niche (e.g., Productivity Child Second).

---

⚙️ AI Comment Prompt (for Child Accounts)

Write natural, helpful, or funny comments that tag @mother_account_username or @mother_account_username_two 
when the post is about productivity, motivation, or self-help. 
Sound like a real follower recommending them.
Example tone: “You should check @mother_account_username  they explained this really well!”
Avoid repeating phrases or overusing emojis.

Update this prompt in Projects → Niche Targeting → Productivity Child Second→ Comment & PM → Comment Prompt for all child accounts in the selected niche.

---

🔁 Follow/Unfollow Settings

Use realistic daily limits to avoid bans:

• Follow 30 – 60 niche-related users/day
• Unfollow 20 – 30 non-followers/day (after 3–5 days)
• Divide actions into multiple time blocks

---

📅 Example Daily Routine (Child Accounts)

Time	Activity	Action	Description
7 AM	Search Tags	Like 10 posts	Morning warm-up likes

📌 Niche-Scoped Schedule

When creating this schedule:

• Aggressive_Fitness
• Aggressive_Motivation

---

💡 Additional Tips

• Bio Mentions: Add “Fan of @mother_account_username” in some child bios.
• Auto Repost: Re-upload selected mother posts (slightly edited) to boost reach.
• DMs : Children can send helpful DMs referencing mother content.
• Engagement Pod Behavior: Let child accounts occasionally like or reply to each other to appear as an organic group.

---

⚠️ Safety Recommendations

• Use high-quality mobile or ISP proxies.
• Keep 1-hour gaps per 10 accounts between automation blocks.
• Rotate actions every few days (e.g., swap comment vs follow intensity).
• Never use identical comment text across multiple accounts.

---

✅ Activation Steps

1. Create this schedule in TikTok → Campaign → View Schedule → Add New, Save it “Aggressive Growth Schedule.” Template
2. Assign it to all child accounts (and optionally one or two mother accounts for posting).
