Glossary and FAQ

What IG/TikTok arbitrage actually is, how our products work, the terms you need to know. For beginners and people starting from scratch.

What InstaLab is

InstaLab is a set of 4 connected products we run on our own farms: a mass-DM course, an IG accounts marketplace, a video uniquifier, and a cloud TDS tracker. Each product works on its own; together as a bundle they cover the full loop — from learning and inventory to running a campaign and measuring results.

Where to start

New? Walk these steps. Pro? Go straight to bundle.

01

02

Take the course

IAM Mastery — 4-6 hours of video plus a methodology doc with concrete cases. After it you understand mass-DM end-to-end.

03

Buy the minimum kit

Bundle Starter $99 = 10 IG autoregs + basic course + UniqueTool trial. Enough to launch your first campaign.

04

Warm up and launch

7 days of light activity on the accounts, then mass-DM on an OFM offer. Measure ROI via TDSpro.

05

Scale

If the campaign worked — get Bundle Pro $349 (50 accounts + full course + everything included). If not — ping us, we will figure it out.

Traffic arbitrage
Buying traffic cheap (social, push, popunder) and reselling it via affiliate offers at a higher rate. The difference is your profit.
Mass-DM
Bulk messaging on Instagram Direct. Accounts message a list of targets — potential customers, competitor followers etc.
Autoreg
Freshly registered account, usually via emulator. Cheap, but unaged — needs warm-up and care.
Aged
Account that sat unused for 30-365 days. Older = lower ban risk.
Real-device
Account registered on a real phone (not an emulator). Most expensive, almost never banned.
OFM
OnlyFans Management. Affiliate offers promoting OnlyFans models. The fattest payouts: 30-50% revenue share.
Warm-up
5-7 days of light activity on a new account before mass-DM: likes, follows, stories. Drops ban risk from 30-40% to 5-10%.
TDS
Traffic Delivery System. A server that routes clicks between landing pages by rules (country, device, offer). Hides the real landing from moderation.
WebView Exit
Technique to push traffic from the IG/FB in-app browser to the OS browser (Safari/Chrome). Conversion grows 20-40%.
Video uniquifier
Transforms a video so the TikTok/IG algorithm sees each copy as unique (different hash, audio fingerprint, metadata). Needed for mass-posting.
Proxy
Intermediate server your account uses to reach IG. Mobile (4G/5G) is best, residential is fine, datacenter is for tests only.
Shadowban
Silent block: account works, but posts are not shown to others. Especially common on TikTok.
Bundle
Pack of all 4 of our products at up to 30% off. Useful if you take more than one.
USDT TRC-20
USDT stablecoin on Tron. Fee about $1, confirms in 30s. The cheapest checkout.
@CryptoBot
Telegram bot for crypto payments. USDT/BTC/TON/ETH in one place, no leaving the messenger.

FAQ

The most common questions. Not answered? Ping @InstaLab_support.

Is this legal?
All 4 products live in a grey zone: we do not break the law, but we break platform ToS. Accounts get banned, videos get shadowbanned — bake that into your unit economics. No fraud, no scams — just mass-marketing tools.
I am new — where do I start?
1) Get Bundle Starter $99 — minimum kit. 2) Go through IAM Mastery (4-6 hours). 3) Pick up 10 autoregs from NexusMarket. 4) 7-day warm-up. 5) Launch mass-DM on a simple offer. After a month you either have ROI or you understand the math does not work.
How much do I need to start?
$99 Bundle Starter + $30-50 on proxies + $50-100 on test offers = around $200-250 minimum comfortable start. Bundle Pro $349 if you want $50 of accounts credit and the tracker.
What is a realistic ROI?
ROI = (revenue − costs) ÷ costs × 100%. Realistic values for IG arbitrage: beginner 50-200%, average 200-500%, top 500-1500%. The «$8 → $912 in 30 days» case in our channel is an example of a top scenario at the very start.
Why crypto only?
Cards do not fit: chargebacks, account freezes, KYC. Crypto is instant, anonymous, no middlemen. No crypto? Buy USDT on Bybit or ChangeNow in 5-10 minutes.
What if I have problems?
Ping @InstaLab_support — answers 24/7 (real human). Average reply time 15 minutes. 24h refund if it does not fit.
Can I run a single product without the bundle?
Of course. Each product is a standalone site with its own pricing. Bundle is just a discount when you take more than one.
