Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and come across an account with tens of thousands of followers, yet their posts barely get a handful of likes? I sure have. A very close friend of mine actually tried to buy followers on Instagram a while back, and let me tell you, things didn’t quite turn out as dreamy as they thought. If you’re thinking about taking the shortcut of purchasing followers, here’s why it might be more trouble than it’s worth—plus, I’ll sprinkle in some of my own experiences and missteps along the way.
In the fast-paced world of social media, the pursuit of popularity often leads individuals and businesses to explore unconventional methods to boost their online presence. One such method of gaining notoriety is the purchase of followers. While the idea of instantly inflating one’s follower count may seem tempting, it’s crucial to take a step back and examine the long-term implications of such a strategy.
In theory, this is exactly what every business does—tailors their marketing content toward the tastes and preferences of the audience that they’re trying to reach. However, it can also sometimes be the case that you’re looking to expand your audience or produce a more generalized message that new prospective customers can jump on board with.
While the general approach can be successful in drawing new attention to your business, especially if it means amassing more followers on your social media pages or higher website traffic, sometimes it can dilute the impact of your campaign. Truly knowing your audience, understanding their needs, and holding the solution can allow you to be much more effective in your outreach.
