I bought followers and went off following real people and through out the day ive been getting real followers and those real people are interacting w my account, so I guess buying a lot of fake followers is kinda helping me out and growing my account w real followers lol

Hi Ruby, easiest way would be to change your account to a creator/business account and look at your audience demographics (e.g. country, age, etc - and does it fall within your typical audience - if not high chance of bots).

Sis, I have a problem, please give me a solution? So at that time, when I added free followers, then if I wanted to go to the IG search page, that's it'... when I searched my friend's IG, a lot of foreigners/foreigners appeared... even though I typed my friend's name correctly, but still not Can.... I know it's a factor of adding/buying followers like that So do I have to neutralize my followers/delete ig followers bot followers, only then can it return to normal or is there another way or not... Please answer, bro, I really need it

There is a purpose for the websites who sell likes and views..It’s not meant to help you if you are trying to defraud advertisers..If you are trying to impress your friends theses sites are perfect for that but don’t be foolish enough to use these type of services on your Adsense accounts or any accounts which are monetized.

good question. it definitely wouldn't be a bad idea to get rid of the fake followers (by blocking and unblocking them, for instance) but at this point you should just keep working on making content your real followers love

Social media is a long game for marketing! If you're in a big hurry to goose your numbers, I'd spend the money on boosting my top-performing posts/content to lookalike audience. Here is a video on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGnShYd8nZigb6s If you show your best content to to new people, they might follow you, AND they might also actually eventually buy from your business. ALSO, I just want to say -- anyone who is going to collaborate with you is probably going to do their due diligence and check out your account, and if your followers are fake they won't be that impressed anyway :S

Yesterday my page had 39 followers and today it shot to 868. Are they bots??? No spikes in interaction seemed to happen so, I'm worried. I dont want my accounts ban for something I didnt buy!

Follow and interact with people in your niche, if you have a small follow count then follow 10 small accounts a day. I almost at 100 followers by interacting and following people in my niche some may follow you back, but most won’t you would have to DM them. Wait for one or two days to send them a DM, when you send them a direct message introduce yourself if they respond back tell them why you like their content, and ask them if they like your content like or follow, if they don’t it is okay, reaching 1000 followers is going to be slow, but you will get there eventually.
