# Managed accounts (/docs/creators/managed-accounts) What a managed account is, what Bloss does for you and what you do, and how to get started. A **managed account** is a new TikTok or Instagram account that Bloss builds, warms up and posts to for you. You upload the videos and pick the days. A real person does everything else: creating the account, warming it up so it doesn't look brand new, and publishing your posts by hand. ## Get started [#get-started] Open **Managed accounts** in the main sidebar. If you don't have an account yet, the **Accounts** tab shows **Set up your first managed account**: the three steps, what the first month costs and what the monthly plan costs after it. Click **Set up your first account** to go to the prices on the **Pricing** tab, buy your first account, then set it up. See [Ordering an account](/docs/creators/managed-accounts/ordering). If you see **Managed accounts** in your sidebar, you can order. Support may set a limit on an account. When you reach it, you'll see "You've reached the account limit on your account. Contact support to raise it." If managed accounts are turned off for your account, you'll see "Managed accounts aren't available on your account. Contact support." Some brands also assign managed accounts to their creators; those show as **Managed Account** in the brand's portal. ## How it works [#how-it-works] ### We set it up [#we-set-it-up] A new account is created in the country you choose and the profile is filled in. Then it gets **3 warmup sessions**: normal activity in your topics, so the account is established before it posts. There's no fixed delivery date, because a person builds each one; it usually takes days, not hours. ### You check it [#you-check-it] When it's built, you get **48 hours** to approve the account or ask for a change. See [Reviewing delivery](/docs/creators/managed-accounts/reviewing-delivery). ### We post your videos [#we-post-your-videos] Once it's live, upload your clips and pick a day for each. A person publishes them on that day or the next. See [Posting](/docs/creators/managed-accounts/posting). ### We keep it running [#we-keep-it-running] Every 30 days, upkeep keeps the account active and in good standing. The first 30 days are included. From the second month, a monthly plan keeps it running: upkeep only, or upkeep plus the posts you choose. Change the plan or pause the account whenever you like. See [Plan, posts & balance](/docs/creators/managed-accounts/posts-and-balance). ## Standard and Express [#standard-and-express] | | Standard | Express | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **The account** | Built for you from scratch in your chosen country | A ready, already warmed account, rebranded to your handle, name, bio and picture | | **Typically ready** | No fixed date; usually days, not hours | 1 to 3 days | | **Warmup** | 3 warmup sessions (9 topics), with a recording for each | 1 warmup session (3 topics) alongside your first posts | New accounts are Standard. Express is only offered on some orders, in markets where a ready account is available; when it is, the setup wizard shows a **Standard or Express?** step. ## Where to find things [#where-to-find-things] - Managed accounts › Accounts: all your accounts with their numbers, what needs you, and **Plans, posts & balance**. - Managed accounts › Pricing: how it works, prices, and buying new accounts. - Each account has tabs for **Overview**, **Posts**, **Calendar**, **Performance**, **Warming**, **Add-ons** and **Billing**. ### Your account's Overview [#your-accounts-overview] An account's **Overview** leads with how it's doing: views for the period (7, 28 or 90 days, or all) and the change from the period before, followers, engagement and posts, and a trend line where each dot is a post that went live. Under it, **Top posts** plays your best videos right on the page. **Coming up** shows your next posts, and the header shows the account's posts left and its balance. Click them to buy posts, top up, or see the next charge. Open Managed accounts ## What this isn't [#what-this-isnt] It's not a bot or automation: a person does every action. You never receive the login; you control everything from Bloss. Nobody reads or answers direct messages, there are no live streams, and nobody can promise views, followers or sales. ## In this section [#in-this-section] Buy an account and set it up. Approve the account or ask for a change. Schedule posts and check them. How warmup works. Stats and the downloadable report. Your monthly plan, posts, packs and top-ups. Pause, resume, and every account status. Common questions.
