Secrets of long-living Facebook accounts (Manual farming +Migration). Our guide for beginners, advanced buyers and teams!

[SmsActivate]

Today, we're sharing an efficient formula on how to prepare accounts for long-term work, including that with Facebook's agency Ads Managers.
You are welcome to use this guide to train new team members engaged in account farming and manual farming.

Getting started: create an account​

Talking about accounts for long term use, we would recommend picking up right accounts to migrate to. It looks as follows. Suppose, you as a buyer are based in Italy. In this case, it's better to migrate to Spanish or French accounts.
Though you can buy a ready-made account, we still recommend you to create one manually. If you need an account linked to a certain region, you can rely on SMS-Activate: this service helps you choose and buy or rent a virtual phone number from any country you want. It covers dozens of countries, supports multiple online platforms and carriers, so you are just bound to choose the virtual number that meets your selection criteria.

What accounts you need:

• 
  
• Region: Choose accounts that are closest to the region you work in. Example: if you work from Italy, buy or create a Spanish account to migrate to.
• Email: Outlook, Libero, Gmail (if any).
• Signing up: Sign up manually only, without autoregistration.
• Farm: The account must be farmed manually for at least 10+ days.
• Activities: Run 1-2 business managers and multiple Fanpages, profile activity (likes, reposts, posts).

A step-by-step daily plan​

Day 1: The first contact​

Step #1 | Our team relies on Dolphin Anty, and stores accounts in Adspower. Try as you may, according to our experience, Dolphin Anty still remains the best solution. Sample settings:


Step #2 | Put things right from the start! Settings should look like those on the screenshot; feel free to experiment, though. We recommend filling out the profile correctly right away to avoid unnecessary data and garbage.

Step #3 | The first thing you do after logging into your account for the first time is to open the “Apps and Games” section and start playing. We recommend the 8Ball Pool game, as it allows you to quickly make a lot of reposts from the game to your profile, which is exactly what we need.


Step #4 | Next, find a random photo from Spain in Google and just post something like that: “We made it, everything is cool, hello, Spain!” etc.

Step #5 | Avoid abrupt actions. We simulate natural behavior of an average user, so play games, accumulate external cookies by visiting Spanish food delivery websites or electronics stores, etc.

Step #6 | After you completed the basic steps, close the account, don't touch it for a couple of hours and repeat the same procedure with other accounts.

Day 2: Work basis​

Step #1 | Set up a basic bookmark bar to ensure quick access to email, 2FA and important websites. A basic set of bookmarks looks something like this:

• Log in to play games and make reposts.
• Accumulate external cookies (use Google to search for different websites that offer local services).
• Write 1-2 themed-based posts to the feed.
• Update details in the account settings and state that you've moved to another country.
• Close the account until the next day.

Day 3: Building trust​

Step #1 | Log out, then log in with your email and password.
Step #2 | Use Facebook to sign up to some third-party platform.
Step #3 | Go to the Accounts Center and enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Link to 2FA setup


⛏ A user-friendly online generator: 2FA Generator
(enter the secret key and get the code).

• Save the generator link in the profile bookmarks.
• Make a copy of the secret key and save it in the comments inside the undetectable browser not to lose it.

• Return to the games, keep playing, and make reposts.
• Get AFK and let the profile watch a video for 1–2 hours.
• Close the account until the next day.

Day 4: Adjusting the profile​

Step #1 | Check email accesses and set up the backup email to primary 2FA
Step #2 | Form a bookmark bar for quick navigation

1. Backup email in addition to the primary one
2. Primary email of the account
3. The link to your account
4. The link to ADS Manager (facebook.com/adsmanager)
5. Account's 2FA
6. Email 2FA
7. FB Acc Status: FbAcc.io
8. Button to remove the Confirmation Table in ADS – Blank page

Step #3 | Submit 2-3 friend requests to real accounts.
Step #4 | Write at least 2 messages to friends in the Messenger.
Step #5 | Close the account and don't touch it for a couple of days.

Day 5: Deleting the Number / Backup Email​

Step #1 | Delete your phone number.

Important!
1. Don't delete the number if you rent it from SIM-Activate for a relatively long period of time.
2. If you don't have access to the number, it's better to delete it. It allows to avoid situations, when the account is accidentally blocked and requires verification via SMS. Other issues concern adding administrators to the Business Manager, when it is required to authorize invitation via SMS.


Step #2 | After deleting/not deleting the number, link a backup email account.

If you bought a social account *****@libero.it email is linked to, first of all, open email settings and delete the linked phone number. These emails are usually registered to the same number as a Facebook account. If you lose access to the number, in a while you won't be able to restore the email access, and thus you will lose your primary email of the FB account. Instead, use virtual phone numbers by SMS-Activate.

Once you delete the number, link your backup email and enable 2FA.

Day 6: More trust​

Step #1 | Click on ads in your feed, like and comment posts.
Step #2 | Get involved in groups (join 2-3 local affinity groups).
Step #3 | Play games.
Step #4 | Post a photo from your new geolocation (don't forget to make a stamp)

Days 6-20: Tracking is everything. Smooth activities.​

1. Smooth activities:

• Log into the account once in every 1–2 days.
• Like 2–3 posts in the feed.
• Once in a while, repost posts from popular public pages, preferably from your geolocation.

2. Visit external websites:

• 1–2 times a week, click external links from the Facebook feed, such as news websites, local services, stores.
• Go to the websites of food delivery services, marketplaces, event posters.

3. Play the games:

• From time to time, keep on playing previously chosen games via Facebook.
• Repost the game results in the profile. Be moderate: 1–2 reposts per week is enough.

5. Your own posts:

• Write 1 post on the wall every 5–10 days.
• Post examples:
  • A photo of food in the new city.
  • “Celebrating the first weeks in a new country, it's cool!”
  • Memes or neutral theme-based pictures.

7. Checking account status:

• Once a week, check, if you have email access and security settings are up-to-date.
• Check any active sessions and devices in the account settings.

Here is what you should avoid during the maturing period:​

• Don't run any ad campaigns, don't touch ADS.
• Don't create new Business Managers.
• Don't spam friend requests.
• Don't change geolocation unless unnecessary.
• Avoid bulk changes of settings.
