Social media should is a great place to build your business, bring awareness to your blog,
profit from brand deals and affiliate programs, among other things.
But to do all that you need an audience.
One popular way to build an audience is by using social media bots – like Jarvee.
Recent videos and blog posts from social media managers question if Jarvee still works.
Well, does it?
Let’s see what Jarvee is, what you’ll need to start using it and what expenses you
can expect.
We’ll also go through Jarvee’s features and how to find the best Jarvee settings to
make it work.
So what is Jarvee?
Jarvee is a social media bot for automating processes that you’d otherwise do manually.
It supports all popular social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and
YouTube.
We'll go into details about its features in a sec, but basically it can like and comment
posts, follow or unfollow & do other stuff a human would do.
The only difference is that it can do these things faster and on a larger scale.
On the flip side, Jarvee and other bots have a bad reputation as they are associated with
spam.
You know those spammy DMs which promise you a quick buck and then share shady links?
Yup, those are probably sent by a bot.
But you can’t really blame a tool for how a person chooses to use it, right?
There are many other ways to employ Jarvee for more genuine purposes.
For example, sending informational DMs to leads that have reached a certain stage of
the sales funnel.You choose the goals and the strategies.
The most popular use case is probably growing your following on social media, and it all
depends on what Jarvee settings you use.
The settings are usually measured by how many daily actions you set your account to do.
Daily actions are as simple as following someone, watching a video, or pressing a like button.
But some people that set their accounts to do from 200 - 300 daily actions can get over
20 followers/day and others with same amount of actions will get only 2-3 followers.
There are many factors and we will get to them in this video.
Some people get so good at building social media accounts, that they start doing that
for hundreds of accounts and this way create a business.
But first, lets' see what you will need to start using Jarvee.
One disadvantage of Jarvee is that it works only on Windows.
Sorry, Mac users, you’ll definitely need some extra software.
But even Windows users should listen in.
As Jarvee’s goal is to emulate a real human, it will spread all the actions it needs to
do throughout the day & even night, especially if you’re running a few accounts.
Therefore, the program has to stay turned on on a working computer or server.
That’s the first thing you’ll need.
Some people simply use Jarvee on a spare Windows computer they have, but it’s hard to ensure
that it won’t ever be turned off and it’s not healthy for the computer.
So another way to do that is to get a Virtual Private Server or AWS workspace.
It simply means you’ll get a virtual desktop that you can access from your own computer.
Even when you’re not accessing it, the bot you installed on your virtual desktop will
stay working.
If you chose to use a Virtual Private Server, you’ll also need software to access it.
For that, just download any Remote Desktop app, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop.
When you do all that, access your Virtual Desktop, and then go ahead and download Jarvee.
The cheapest Jarvee plan costs almost $30/month and you will be able to use it for 10 social
media accounts.
To try things out, Jarvee has a 5-days FREE trial.
But even after installing Jarvee, you’re not yet finished.
Another thing you’ll need is proxies.
That’s right, why else would we talk about Jarvee here, at Proxyway?
Can you use Jarvee without proxies?
Sure, if you only have one account, you can try.
But if you’re serious about not losing your accounts, we recommend getting proxies.
Ok, that’s quite a lot of things to get.
So let’s run the numbers to see what total cost you can expect.
It will mainly depend on how many accounts you’re managing.
We’ll give a range for accounts doing approx.
200 daily actions: how much it can cost to run 1 account to 70 accounts.
Virtual Private Server.
You will have 0 costs on that if you’re using a separate computer or if you’re running
up to 6 accounts because Amazon AWS workspace has a free trial you can use for a whole year.
If you have more accounts, Jarvee recommends a VPS service which would cost $68/month for
70 accounts.
The remote desktop app will most probably be free.
Jarvee will cost you from € 29.95/month for up to 10 accounts to € 69.95/month for
70 accounts.
Finally, proxies.
We give more information about best types of proxies for social media in this video,
so don’t forget to watch that next.
But it might vary from $3.20/month to $43/month for 1 account and from $191/month to $500/month
for 70 accounts.
So, the total cost for running 1 account might vary from $33.15/month for a
very low quality to even $72.95/month for high quality.
For 70 accounts it would vary even more: from $328.95/month with low quality proxies to
even $637.95/month with high quality proxies.
Which shows how much the price & the results achieved by Jarvee can depend on choosing
a proper proxy type and provider.
So to do that, don’t forget to watch our video about Instagram proxy providers.
We also have blog posts about the best proxies for other social media platforms at Proxyway.com.
Visit using the link in the description.
For full disclosure, the price range we gave as an example might vary even more if you
select a different amount of daily actions, choose different types of daily actions which
consume more resources, or if you set strict filters for targeting the right people with
Jarvee.

Now, let’s get to know Jarvee better: what social media platforms can you use it for?
Instagram.
The platform Jarvee is famous for.
The features are pretty basic: content scheduling, liking, commenting, following
& unfollowing.
But even these basic features that most bots have, they are the ones that can get you in
trouble.
So while Instagram is working to ban all the fake account and bot users, Jarvee is working
to update the program to trick Instagram into believing those accounts are real humans.
One more feature that Jarvee is useful for is simple market research.
It can extract Instagram users you want to target & help you research hashtags.
Facebook.
Jarvee’s features for Facebook include: post scheduling & auto-engagement such as
liking, commenting, writing birthday wishes on friends' walls.
Nowadays, an important part of Facebook growth strategy is Facebook groups, so Jarvee also
lets you automatically join relevant groups or invite people into your group.
Twitter.
The Twitter features simply help to engage with your audience, retweet posts, and so
on.
Youtube.
Not that we would use Jarvee for this Youtube channel, nope, but Jarvee seems pretty smart
with its Youtube features.
It can subscribe, unsubscribe, like, comment, watch videos and most importantly, visit other
random websites to collect cookies.
This last feature makes it look like a real human being who uses the Internet for various
purposes throughout the day.
Pinterest.
Jarvee can help on Pinterest by scheduling your pins, automatically including URLs to
them, and adding viral pins to your boards to inspire you and thereby make the whole
content creation process faster.
In addition, Jarvee can also automatically engage with other users by following them
or commenting.
LinkedIn.
Jarvee’s features for Linkedin include scheduling posts and various ways of engagement: viewing
others' profiles, joining groups, liking, commenting, sending messages, connection requests
& endorsing other users for their skills.
Tumblr.
Jarvee mostly helps to grow on Tumblr by following, liking & rebloging popular posts.
Wow, so many things & features to choose from - Jarvee is certainly a hell of a program!
What social media platform would you like to use Jarvee for?
Can’t wait to hear from you in the comments.
Ok, you know what Jarvee is, you know the price, you have all the necessary things and
you have an idea of the platforms where you want to use it.
There’s only one piece of the puzzle missing.
How to find the best settings?
Always remember that although Jarvee is an automation tool, it’s not a “set up and
leave” type of thing.
It still requires a lot of attention to test and find the settings which would give you
the best return on investment.
Otherwise, you'll just leave it working in the background without no real results – if
so, why don’t you simply give all your money to a stranger?
To get ideas for the best setup, don’t just read any post, blog or video that describe
the best settings.
Look for the settings that:
have achieved results for someone
look if the post was published recently - in the last couple of months or so as social
media algorithms change pretty quickly.
see if those settings were tested on an Instagram account that’s similar to yours.
For example, one video might focus on growing a cat or a dog account which is very general
and pretty much doesn’t require targeting.
If you would try the same settings on your personal account or a very local niche business
account, it wouldn’t go well.
Keep in mind the risks of using Jarvee or any bot whatsoever.
First, test things on an account that you don’t mind losing.
For example, Instagram accounts that get banned, stay banned for 30days.
Not to mention the possibility of getting banned permanently.
It can cost a lot of precious time and money.
So always start slow and increase daily actions with time so that you wouldn’t look suspicious
for social media platforms.
Try to imitate human behavior and let the accounts sleep because that’s what humans
do.
If you’ll be using proxies, make sure not to use the same IPs for multiple accounts – unless
these are mobile IPs.
This way, if one account gets banned, you’ll protect your other accounts from the same
fate.
So, these were a few of our suggestions.
Good luck with your social media automation.
