OPTION 2- BUYING FOLLOWERS…LET THE CONTROVERY BEGIN!

This is a part of some of the techniques that many “frown” upon, many say its LYING to your
audience, while others do it wrong and it can HURT your account!

Here is my take, and what I have done for proper results.

First off, there are TONS of sites to PURCHASE followers. You can purchase anywhere from
100-100,000.

The “cheaper” more affordable sites will bring you MOSTLY foreign accounts, and the cost can
be from $1.99-$200.00

To purchase US “quality” FOLLOWERS you will pay A LOT more! 100 Followers can be $50 or so.

Other websites claim to “run ads” and give you followers over a period of time.

So here is the WRONG way to go about buying followers.

If you are brand new to IG or have under 500 followers DO NOT BUY any followers YET!

Work your way to 1000 active followers (or more) then start purchasing smaller packages.

Here is the reason why. If you have 500 followers and purchase a 10,000 Follower package,
now you have 10,000 followers who WILL NOT engage with your profile or your posts and IG
will see that and destroy your ranking on posts! You can also be flagged.

Now here is why I have purchased followers. Because PERCEPTION is everything. People see
followers and equate that to how successful you are. When really, a person could be making
$20,000 a month and have 500 IG followers, but won’t get leads on IG because his following is
so low.

People may say, but Ashley you pride yourself on transparency and honesty! Yes, you are
correct, and buying followers isn’t a lie. It’s a psychologic strategy. Unless I, or you state that
you’ve gained ALL your followers organically, you aren’t lying. That’s just the facts. Now many
in the industry will say NO to this, others will pretend they HAVEN’T or DON’T purchase, but the
sad fact is, MANY “INFLUENCERS” of Instagram have and continue to purchase followers.

My rule of thumb is gain 2,500 followers, purchase 250. And if you spend the EXTRA on the US
Followers, and engage with them you will get QUALITY LEADS. And as you PURCHASE these
followers, send them messages, like their posts and interact with them. You will be surprised at
how many of them will be interested in WHAT YOU DO!
