Risk of Buying Followers and Engagements on Social Media

[Jasmine]

These days a lot of people want to take a short cut route to success. Since social media platforms offer great benefits when it comes to build traffic and sales, as well as making money, a lot of people are using social media platform. However, they are in such a hurry to build followers on their social profiles and engagements on their posts that they end up buying followers and engagements.

While it might look attractive to buy followers and engagements, there are numerous disadvantages.

1. Lack of Engagement: When you buy followers, it is usually fake followers or bot followers. When your followers are bots and fake accounts, there will not be any engagement on your posts, therefore, these followers do not offer any real value to your account.
2. Decreased Credibility: Not many people know this, social sites algorithms are able to detect fake and bot followers. When they find that your followers are fake and bot followers, your social accounts will lose visibility and credibility. You will end up damaging your brand and also grow organically.
3. Risk of Account Suspension: This is one of the worst things related to buying followers and engagements. Most social media platforms have strong policies against buying followers and engagements. When you violate these policies, your account will be suspended or even permanently deleted.

Based on my experience, I can say buying followers and engagements on your social media profiles and social media posts are nothing but just wasted resources. You are just wasting time, money, and effort. Instead of spending money on buying and followers and wasting your time and effort for that purpose, you can spend your time and energy on creating high-quality content, engaging with your audience, and building genuine relationships with potential customers. It is true that organic means taking time to show the results, but it is worth trying because once you have done that you will continue to reap the benefits for a long time.
