Re-downloaded ig after 2.5 yrs. Finished my body and dating transformation. I have the pics and looks from online dating and confidence from cold approach.

Problem:
I have 47 following, 48 followers at the moment with 0 posts. My buddy said to use the follow unfollow method to reach at least 100 followers before posting and dming women. However, he had organically built his following in high school so his perspective might not work for me.

Question:
Is there a better way, easier, quicker way to gain followers?
Should I even wait till 100 followers to upload pics and dm girls OR just do it right now?

Thanks in advance.
