Should I buy Social Network Followers & Likes?

21
14.9K followers

I just wrote an article on why paying for followers and likes is a bad idea. I wanted to share with you my story and see if anyone else has had the same.

In a past online venture I decided to pay for 10,000 Facebook likes and 10,000 twitter followers. You guessed it mostly all of the accounts I payed for were fake and considered spam accounts. My expectations were, everything I posted would have tons of engagement and these new followers would sign up for what I was trying to sell. Not one person signed up or engaged, but wait it gets worse. Since I had so many followers that were consider spam accounts my profile eventually got shut down and the 50-100 followers that I gained that were actually interested in buying from me were all lost! I learned my lesson and wanted to share with everyone here.

Here is a link to my new post if you have a story about paying for followers or likes I would appreciate a comment about it.

Hope this will help save a few people from making the same mistake I did!

I have been warned about doing this and the adverse consequences. I might add that it also applies to website backlinks, and when this happens, the search engines do a number on you, especially Big Daddy, Google!

Actually I never knew that you can PURCHASE "likes" and followers. This is one of those rare "ignorance is bliss" moments. Thanks for posting.

Well that is perfect I guess you can't make the mistake of buying them if you didn't know you could! lol

Glad you posted this, so many think there's a quick way to buy followers and have a better chance of selling them stuff. Hopefully anyone here considering buying reads this first.

Thanks for the info - always great to learn from other's mistakes AND success's!

Thats a big fat NO! It is far better to have 100 engaged followers (people who join because they want your info) than 1000 paid for followers.

MOST DEFIANTLY!!!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Debbie

Thanks for sharing.

I never knew one could buy friends. I guess buying love just doesn't work.

Thanks for sharing your story Brok. It is a clear warning for anyone who is tempted to waste their money in this way.

I'm glad you learned your lesson and thx for sharing. I too must admit, that I had the same situation a few years back. I bought links to my site.

I can't even remember which service it was just that I didn't benefit at all from it and it ended in me wasting money, just like you did :D
