1) What does buying followers mean?

Buying IG followers is exactly what it sounds like, there are a host of different sites where you can buy followers for Instagram – for example, some sites will sell 1000 followers for $10. The idea of buying followers stems from the premise that any social account with a high number of followers is seen as more legit or more successful.

2) Should you buy Instagram followers

For a business to thrive one has to do things โ€˜the right wayโ€™ and that doesnโ€™t mean some antiquated way of thinking from businessmen in the 1950โ€™s but doing things ethically and running your business from a place of honesty and transparency. When you buy Instagram followers to project an image of success itโ€™ll be just that, an image. Those bought followers are not true supporters or customers and may not even give you the engagement you were hoping for from 1000 new followers.

3) Does buying Instagram followers hurt or help your brand?

If we look at the facts (as well as engagement rates) we know that those bought Instagram followers are just that, followers. A lot of the time those followers are made up or spam accounts or run by bots that will not actually engage with your content, that means no extra likes and no true comments that donโ€™t look like they were computer generated. Most people on the Internet can spot a bot comment from a mile away, and if thatโ€™s what makes up a majority of your comment section you may end up scaring real, potential followers and clients away. We all hate spam emails and we all hate spam comments and likes from strange bots on Instagram – purposefully flooding your page with them is not a sustainable way to grow your account.
