What Are the Techniques for Nurturing a Facebook Account


Nurturing Your Facebook Account

Continuously log in with the browser for a week. Each new account should stay online for at least 8 hours. During this period, avoid logging into other accounts using this browser.

After nurturing the new account for a week, first add a profile picture and cover photo, then start adding friends. Remember not to add too many; start with just one and gradually increase, but don’t rush it. After a week, avoid logging in just to log out; Facebook may mistakenly consider your account at risk of being hacked and automatically enter safe mode. It’s best to stay online for an hour after logging in. After a week, you can use your previously nurtured accounts to like posts made by this account, especially posts with people in them, and comment to warm up the posts. You can let a few accounts send private messages to each other, simulating the connection between real friends to increase the account's activity and authenticity.

This maintenance and nurturing should continue until the third week, at which point you can slightly expand your actions, but don’t overdo it. On the 10th day of the new account, you can start improving your profile gradually; don’t complete everything at once. For example, complete your location today, your school tomorrow, your job, etc.

Continuing this nurturing method for a month, if you don’t engage in frequent or abnormal operations, your account won’t be suspended. At this point, you can start advertising, but don't go overboard; gradually increase the volume of your ads.

Regularly like and post simple mood updates. Avoid posting advertisements, as Facebook may restrict you or even suspend your account due to this action. Don't copy others' profile pictures or photos as your own; Facebook initiated facial recognition in 2018. If you use another Facebook account's photo, Facebook can identify it.


Common Questions for Beginners

For instance, how many friends can I add in a day? This requires you to test the limits yourself. For example, if you send 10 friend requests within a few minutes and Facebook prompts you to add people you know, that’s your signal to stop. Also, delete any previous requests that haven't been accepted!

Currently, the recommendation for new accounts is to add about 5-8 friends a day; after half a month, you can increase this to about 20. The numbers aren’t exact; it’s mainly a gradual process of gaining Facebook's algorithm trust. If you're passively adding friends (i.e., someone sends you a request and you accept), there’s no limit on how many you can add in a day.

Similarly, you need to explore how many posts you can make in a few minutes to avoid being restricted from posting in groups. How many messages can I send at once? How many posts should I make in a day to please my followers? All of these need continuous exploration on your part.


Nurturing Plan

Day 1. After registration, verify your email and upload a profile picture. There will be prompts asking you to upload a profile picture, cover photo, and fill in your information. You don’t need to do much; just browse for 5 minutes and then log out. You don’t need to bind your phone at this stage.

Day 2. Log in with the same device; for example, if you registered on a computer, use that computer to log in. Do not change devices for at least half a month. Then follow a few public figures and add 1-2 customers, just browse a bit before logging off.

Day 3. Improve your personal profile and download your data. Browse some posts, explore Facebook's other features, and finally add 1-2 friends.

Day 4. Browse the updates of those you follow, familiarizing yourself with Facebook. Watch some videos, browse posts, and join one or two groups. Limit friend additions to no more than 10 in a day.

After a Week. Create a fan page and complete your profile.


Common Mistakes During the Nurturing Process

In the initial stage of nurturing, actively adding a large number of friends, batch liking, adding fan pages, joining groups, and posting in others' groups. In the early stage of nurturing, modifying personal information such as name, password, email, and phone. Logging in with different IP addresses within a short period, for instance, using a US IP today and a Japanese IP tomorrow. Starting to create fan pages, groups, or posts immediately after registration. Not clearing cookies and cache on first login, resulting in account linking.


Important Points to Note During the Nurturing Process

Act like an ordinary user
Let Facebook see you as an ordinary user, not a marketing account. Understand the platform from a user’s perspective and do not break the platform's rules for marketing. After registering, avoid creating fan pages, adding friends, or hastily launching ads. Try to register on a mobile device, as Facebook is currently more user-friendly for mobile users. After registering on Facebook, improve your profile, profile picture, and other details. The profile picture should clearly show facial features for photo verification.

Repetitive Registrations from the Same IP/Device
Repeatedly registering Facebook accounts from the same IP address or computer can lead to account verification issues. We recommend confirming that you can’t retrieve your old account before re-registering, clearing browser cache and cookies, or using a different computer to register. For the same IP address, a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours is recommended; frequent operations will only result in both your account and IP being blacklisted.

Multiple Accounts
Another common mistake is registering a new account immediately after one has been suspended without retrieving the old one. Facebook operates on a real-name basis; using similar identity information across different accounts can lead to detection. In short, don’t use the same details for each account, including profile pictures; it’s not allowed.

False Identity Information
This mainly includes profile pictures and abnormal names, as well as some industry-related or borderline content. It is recommended to register using real identity information. Facebook doesn’t strictly require that profile pictures must be personal photos, but one method of identity verification involves recognizing friends' profile pictures and names. If you can't recognize the provided profile picture or if there are too many fake friends, it will lead to a failed verification.

Simultaneous Logins from Multiple Devices
If you log into Facebook on your computer and also have it open on your mobile device, the two IP addresses may differ or shared accounts may appear. Having multiple people using one account or switching devices rapidly can be problematic. It is not that mobile and computer can’t be logged into simultaneously; rather, when the account is still new, it is not advisable to do so as the risk of suspension is high.

Modifying Sensitive Account Information
For example, changing names, profile pictures, birthdates, contact details, and other important privacy settings all at once can trigger Facebook's login verification or other identity verifications.

Long Periods Without Logging In or Updating
Simply registering an account and leaving it inactive without completing your profile is unwise. For new accounts, log in daily and browse some content. While established accounts may not suffer too much from a few months of inactivity, new accounts should be mindful of the risks of long inactivity and lack of updates.

Mass Operations in a Short Period
This is the primary reason for account suspensions. Including sending the same message to friends or strangers in bulk, frequently adding friends (especially after receiving warnings), adding groups frequently, and logging in and out frequently. Remember: engaging in repetitive actions within a short timeframe (e.g., several minutes) will certainly raise security concerns for the account, as Facebook prioritizes user experience. Actions that appear robotic or automated will be scrutinized. Thus, during the initial stages of the account, ensure your operations mimic normal human behavior.

Immediately Acting After Unblocking
If your account is unblocked and you immediately proceed to improve information, add friends, etc., it may quickly get blocked again. The correct approach is to browse normally for a few minutes after unblocking, then log off. Log in again the next day for a few minutes, and only after a week should you start adding friends, adjusting your operation mode to reflect that of a normal user and avoid impatience.

Exaggerated or False Advertising
Publishing a large amount of spam messages, ads, or content that negatively affects user experience; publishing explicit content, violence, illegal items, infringing on copyrights, or other illegal content is extremely risky behavior that may lead to permanent account suspension.

Complaints
Posts, ads, and fan pages are all subject to complaints; if the content is deemed inappropriate, it may lead to account suspension.

False Suspension
False suspensions are also common, as platforms often combat malicious activities, and technical reviews may sometimes affect innocent users. Facebook may also experience unexpected bugs; it's essential to accept this reality and learn to avoid them cleverly.

Company Fan Pages
After establishing a personal account, you need to log in daily using the same mobile device or computer and the same IP address. If you have no issues logging in for a month, you can create a company fan page. It’s recommended to create 2-3 company accounts in case of emergencies. Company fan pages can be managed by different personal accounts, making account management safer. Even if one account is restricted, other accounts can manage the fan page, ensuring that you do not lose access to it.

Friend Count
The number of friends is indeed one of the keys to successful marketing. Generally, a marketing account with 500 to 1000 real friends is more successful. The first batch of friends should come from your phone contacts or system-recommended friends. Add 1-3 friends each day, avoiding a rush to add friends daily. For the first three months after the account is opened, do not frequently add strangers, preferably not exceeding 8 per week. Maintain an active status for at least 3 months by logging in 1-3 times daily, spending 10-30 minutes browsing, reading, and interacting. Participate in small games on the platform, trying to act like a real user. Keep interactions going, including chatting, liking, commenting, and private messaging. Posts should contain original images, text, and current trends, updating 3-5 times weekly.

Timeline
A key criterion for Facebook to determine if an account is real is the completeness and activity of the timeline. A good marketing account not only promotes its products but also shares interesting content, such as life photos and current events on its timeline.

People You May Know
This interface is easily overlooked but is also important for judging account activity. For newly registered Facebook users, this interface is empty. Over time, as you use the account, the site will recommend friends based on your interests, hobbies, and interactions.

Add Experienced Users and Active Friends
When starting the account, you can add experienced and highly active users as friends. The standard for judgment is the duration of account registration (preferably over one year) and continued usage (daily new content is best). Interact more with these friends and even add them as trusted friends (in case you forget your password or have other risks) to enhance your account's credibility.

Follow Authoritative Media Accounts
You can follow authoritative accounts, such as public figures or media accounts.

Steady Marketing
If your account has been used for over a month and is stable, you can start some paid promotional activities to expand your influence, but ensure marketing is done appropriately, gradually mitigating risks. Additionally, content containing links should be kept to a minimum, especially external links.

Nurturing an Account Means Keeping It Active
This means mimicking the usage and habits of normal users. First, understand the reasons for being suspended and familiarize yourself with Facebook's community rules. Maintain a stable IP; if you’ve previously had accounts suspended on a computer or phone, clear the cache before registering. Avoid adding people or groups in bulk within a short time, and operate like a normal person, as Facebook is fundamentally a social platform; don’t play Facebook from a marketing perspective.


Entering Safe Mode

In the initial nurturing phase, there’s a high probability that an account may enter safe mode, prompting you to upload a photo. This situation may arise if you started operating immediately after registration or if Facebook randomly activates safe mode to prevent bot registrations. If this happens, don’t panic; follow the steps below, and it will be easily resolved.

The photo you prepared when registering will come in handy now. Choose a photo and upload it. After uploading, wait for notification. You can choose not to click confirm and just wait on this page. You can also click confirm to exit, but after doing so, do not frequently check whether your account has been unblocked; just wait two days (stay calm; you registered normally, and they won't harm you). Don’t delete the photo; keep it for potential future use, as there’s a chance you may enter safe mode again. If you just registered and enter safe mode, what should you do? You can abandon that account and wait a month; it will cease to exist, and you can register again with the same phone number. Or follow the methods above to unblock it.


How to Unblock an Account?

If a new account hasn’t been operated or frequently changed IP addresses, it won’t be suspended. Another situation occurs if you frequently log in to see whether your account is in safe mode, or if you upload photos repeatedly, which can lead to suspension.

If a new account hasn’t been operated, you can directly appeal; the success rate is about 80%. However, if you’ve engaged in prohibited operations, there’s almost no hope of recovery. Certain functions may be restricted, such as posting, indicating that Facebook believes your posts are too frequent or dense. This usually results in a one-week restriction. In such cases, simply restrain your actions. If you feel there’s nothing wrong, you can appeal. Another situation arises if you post something that Facebook deems inappropriate; as long as your post is not in violation, appeal immediately.
