Is it worth buying followers for Facebook, Instagram, etc.?<\/h2>\n

We read many opinions on different blogs about buying fans or followers for social media. Most of these opinions are negative and based on the evidence of deception and scams that the purchase of fake followers entails, as well as the fact that these follower packages contribute absolutely nothing to our social networks. At Marabelia, however, we want to offer a different perspective on this matter based on our experience and the results we\u2019ve achieved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are fan-buying websites a scam?<\/h2>\n

No, websites that sell fans for Facebook, Instagram, etc. actually work and deliver what they promise!<\/strong> Of course, we can’t speak for every single site out there, but we can vouch for the ones we’ve tried or have references for, such as fama.social, comprar-seguidores.info, comprar-fans.es, creapublicidadonline.com<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n

Once the purchase and payment are completed, the fans usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours.<\/strong> If they don\u2019t, you can contact the provider and they\u2019ll usually resolve the issue within a few hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the followers we buy like?<\/h2>\n

When buying a fan pack for our social network, we can usually choose their origin. For example, we can choose to buy fans from “any location” or only Latin followers. The difference is that Latin fans tend to be more expensive, but they look more real. For instance, if we buy a cheap fan pack (from any location), we might end up with lots of followers whose names are written in Arabic or Russian, and profile pictures that show Turkish flags. Not very convincing if we run a local business.<\/p>\n

If we buy Latin fans, the names of our followers will look more familiar, like Pepitos P\u00e9rez<\/em> or Mar\u00edas Garc\u00edas<\/em>, with more normal-looking photos. That said, don\u2019t expect anything from them!<\/strong> These purchased fans will not interact with your posts or buy anything from your business. They are just extras, making your Facebook or Instagram look more populated.<\/p>\n

If we want “likes” or even comments, we can buy different packages that include interaction on posts.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the fans we buy won’t leave us<\/strong>; they\u2019re like loyal marble statues. Over time, a few may disappear, but they won\u2019t flee in droves\u2014they\u2019ll stick around in your networks for many, many years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will Facebook or Instagram penalize me for buying followers?<\/h2>\n

As far as we know and have experienced: there is no penalty<\/strong>. At least, if you sensibly buy 500 or 1000 fans for your social media, neither Facebook nor Instagram will bat an eye. If there were such penalties, the countless fan-buying sites wouldn\u2019t survive…<\/p>\n

Maybe if you buy 500,000 fans, Facebook might notice something odd on your page. But as we said, if you buy a reasonable amount of followers, the social media bots will think you\u2019re a brilliant community manager<\/strong> and might even send you their congratulations<\/em> like: Congratulations! You\u2019ve reached 1000 fans, let\u2019s celebrate with a Facebook Ads campaign! \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n

If you want to see a very interesting sociological experiment about buying followers, check out this video<\/a> by an advertising agency. It shows how you can build a brand image\u2014or in this case, an influencer\u2014in a short amount of time and with very little money. Fascinating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reasons to buy followers for your social media<\/h2>\n

Practical example of buying followers<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s only one reason why it\u2019s worth buying a follower pack: when you have very few followers and need to create a more solid brand image<\/em>. The classic reason for buying fans is the recent launch of your social media or trying to revitalize a dying account.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say: Deluxe Restaurant<\/em> has been open for years but hadn\u2019t gone digital. Now it decides to revamp its outdated website and open Facebook and Instagram accounts<\/em>. It wants to launch a marketing campaign to strengthen its online image and attract customers from the internet. We set up the social channels, but after getting all the family and friends of the owners to follow, we barely reach 50 fans. That\u2019s a “poor” look to future visitors who may wonder why a restaurant that\u2019s been open for 15 years only has 50 followers.<\/p>\n

Deluxe Restaurant<\/em> is a perfect candidate for a fake profile. We’ll ask the 50 real friends to like, comment on, and preferably share our posts. We\u2019ll post our own high-quality content on social media at least twice a week for a month. And after doing all this to give it a bit of background<\/em>, we\u2019ll buy a reasonable number of Spanish or Latin followers\u2014say 500\u2014so it starts to look like a vibrant and interesting social network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s done, we won\u2019t fake anything else. From then on, we\u2019ll manage the account organically<\/strong>, creating original, interesting, high-quality content, and running a few geo-targeted Facebook or Instagram Ads campaigns focused on our sector to attract genuine (real) followers<\/strong> who, upon visiting our page, will feel like they\u2019ve found a popular place worth following.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do so many blogs criticize buying followers?<\/h2>\n

Because it\u2019s considered unethical. It\u2019s black hat SEO in the world of social media management.<\/strong> And it\u2019s frustrating\u2014when a community manager spends months working hard, posting great content, investing heavily in Ads, and barely manages to reach 200 fans, and then someone else comes along and bam! 500 fans overnight!<\/em> Of course, it drives you mad and you write an article trashing this deceitful, fraudulent, hellish technique<\/em>… So buying fans is seen as tacky and dishonest.<\/p>\n

But folks, here\u2019s a fresh take: the internet isn\u2019t a rainbow paradise. It\u2019s more like a harsh world full of sharks and krakens\u2014it\u2019s a place where you eat or get eaten<\/em>. And you have to get to the top by any means necessary<\/strong> (without harming anyone, of course)\u2014as shown in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
