How can you buy instagram followers
Here's What Happens When You Buy Instagram Followers
The Instagram fake follower industry is built on a pretty tempting proposition: spend a little money, and get a lot of followers. Overnight, you can go from a few hundred followers to 10,000 or more. With that boost, profits and partnerships are sure to follow?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but no. Even though buying Instagram followers is cheap and easy, the hidden costs can be steep. You can ruin your reputation, alienate your real followers, and even lose your account if Instagram notices your deception. If you’re trying to become Instagram famous or build your business, buying followers won’t help you do it.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the fake follower industry and show you what happens when you buy Instagram followers. Instead of scamming your way to success, we’ll also show you how to get more Instagram followers using tried and true tactics.
Or you can watch the video of our most recent experiment where we tried to buy the most expensive followers we could:

What to do instead of buying Instagram followers
How to buy Instagram followers
First things first: let’s take a step-by-step look at how to buy Instagram followers. After that, we’ll tell you why you should save your money and your dignity.
1. Choose your provider
There are a lot of companies selling fake Instagram followers, so you have plenty of choices here. Google “buy Instagram followers” and you’ll discover a brave new world of businesses with very questionable ethics.
These businesses operate a little differently than they did a few years ago. Back in 2018, Instagram shut down its public API so that third-party apps could no longer post.
This had huge impacts for all kinds of businesses, including the ones selling Instagram followers and likes. A ton of bot accounts disappeared overnight, and third-party services that liked and followed accounts stopped working. When the fake follower industry recovered, a few things had changed: services stopped requiring your login credentials, and started emphasizing that all followers were “real” and “authentic,” not bots.
We’ve rounded up a selection of some of the more well-known retailers below, but we can’t guarantee that any of them should be trusted with your credit card information or your account details.
You’re on your own here!
2. Pick your plan
As you explore the fake follower frontier, you’ll notice that there’s more than one option available to you. Some companies offer a choice between your regular and “premium” followers, and others offer “managed growth.” All of these plans rely on the use of click farms, which exploit poorly-paid laborers who are often working in sweatshop-like conditions. That’s just one more reason to avoid them.
Basic
The most basic options are also the most obvious fakes: they don’t have profile photos or posts on their feed, but they exist — for now, anyway. They’re the cheapest tier, though they’ll be described with the kind of superlatives you see at the farmer’s market: high-quality, all-natural, free-range… actually, that last one might just be for eggs. Since these fakes are so obvious, they tend to get deleted by Instagram pretty quickly. While they last, they won’t like or comment on any of your posts.
Premium or active followers
Next, you have “premium” or “active” followers.
These accounts tend to look slightly more legitimate, with profile photos and posts on their feed. Companies will promise that they are “100% real people!!” but we would take that with a Mt. Everest-sized grain of salt. And like the basic followers, they’re not going to engage with your content in any way.
Managed growth
Lastly, we have “managed growth.” This is the most expensive fake follower service, which may be offered as a one-time fee or an ongoing monthly subscription. Managed growth services offer to essentially operate your engagement strategy, by reaching out to other Instagram accounts to grow your following.
Managed growth services require you to hand over your account details (extra sketchy!) and provide detailed information to a “growth agent” around the audiences and hashtags you want to target. The agent (or their automated software) will then like, follow and comment on your behalf. In theory, this will result in better followers. In practice, it’s just a more expensive way to clutter up your feed and decrease your overall engagement rate.
3. Choose your number of followers
Still interested? Uh, okay! Next, you can choose the number of followers you want to buy.
This is going to depend on your budget, and the plan you choose. The basic fake followers are pretty cheap, so you might be tempted to buy 5,000 or 10,000 at once. Why not? Well, because a huge overnight spike in followers is likely to raise some red flags with Instagram.
For this reason, most companies offer “instant or gradual” delivery options. A more gradual delivery is less suspicious, in theory. But the ratio of fake-to-real followers matters, so think twice before buying a huge number.
4. Throw in some likes or views
Many of these companies pride themselves on being one-stop shops for all kinds of sham interactions. As a result, you can also purchase likes on your posts or views on your Instagram Stories.
In theory, this adds credibility by balancing out the fake followers with fake engagement. In practice, it’s unlikely to fool anyone.
5. Take the plunge
You’ve browsed the options and decided, against your better judgment, to proceed to checkout. Time to hand over your Instagram handle, email address, and credit card information.
Some companies might prompt you to create an account, or they might skip right to the good stuff: payment info. If you’re squeamish about providing your credit card details, you might be able to pay with PayPal or cryptocurrency.
An important note: unless you’re opting for managed growth, you will not be asked to hand over your Instagram password.
6. Bide your time
Most companies promise that you’ll see new followers within 24-72 hours, once the charge on your credit card clears.
The more expensive growth services take longer, because they’re promising to grow your account gradually through targeted engagement or automation. What does that mean for you? That it might take longer to realize that you’ve wasted your money.
Where to buy Instagram followers
There are a lot of companies selling Instagram followers.
And while you could simply stare into the abyss yourself and see what stares back, we’ve curated a few of the options for you.
As in any illicit industry, retailers are prone to changing their names and URLs to try and cover up bad reviews or customer complaints. You’ll also notice that every company’s website looks pretty similar in terms of layout, language and pricing tiers. It makes it hard to tell the difference between them, honestly. But we tried:
Buzzoid: Buzzoid promises the “fastest delivery,” guaranteeing new followers within hours of payment. They also have an “automatic likes” subscription service: for a monthly fee, you can get likes and video views from “real users” on every new post automatically. Getting hundreds of instant likes on a post sounds like a great way to alert Instagram to your shady activities.
Twicsy: Like many of its competitors, Twicsy promises “Real Users, Real Accounts, Quick Delivery!” Twicsy doesn’t offer managed growth, just a choice between “real” and “premium” followers.
Though they prominently feature their Trustpilot ratings, there are many reviews from users complaining about overcharging, zero customer support, poor results, and getting banned from Instagram. One review is a modern-day retelling of the fable of King Midas, if instead of a golden touch you were burdened with too many fake follower:
Famoid. We used Famoid for our last fake follower experiment (watch our video below for a more detailed review). But in summary, Famoid promises “all real & active” followers, though in our experience they were pretty obvious fakes.
Kicksta: This tool is a little different. They promise 100% all-natural organic growth through the magic of artificial intelligence.
You provide Kicksta with a list of accounts who have followers you would want (such as competitors or influencers), and they will like posts by those followers. The idea is that after receiving a notification that you liked their post, those users are more likely to follow you.
While this sounds better than summoning an undead army of bots, it’s still not ideal. For one thing, you still have to do quite a bit of work to guide Kicksta’s strategy, which is time you could use to… get more followers! For another, you’re trusting your account and its activities to a third party, which is risky: if their tactics annoy the users you’re hoping to impress, it can work against you.
Learn more about why automation is one of the black hat social media techniques we think you should avoid.
GetInsta: One thing I enjoy about GetInsta is that, like The Gap, they’re always running a sale.
Their other tactic is offering a choice between “instant followers”, who appear all at once, and “daily followers.
” The latter involve signing up for a subscription plan, with the promise of a certain number of followers daily. It’s nice to see creativity in the fake follower business.
GetInsta also has an Instagram caption generator, which promises to “make your Instagram go viral.” I was pleasantly surprised by the moody caption it generated for me, though I doubt it’s likely to propel me to social media fame:
Mr. Insta: Of all the fake follower sites we reviewed, this one had the largest menu of offerings. Itw as the Cheesecake Factory of shady services. It’s also much more expensive than its competitors. In exchange for the big bucks, Mr. Insta promises to “provide the highest and most realistic-looking followers.” This was also the only service that gives customers the option to pay using Dollar General or CVS gift cards.
Social Boost: This service offers only growth management, with a heftier price tag than the competitors and the Etsy-worthy adjectives to match (“handmade growth!”).
Unlike most of the other sites, Social Boost doesn’t promise any specific number of followers. Instead, they promise to target and engage with Instagram users to grow your account over time.
We were curious if buying the most expensive followers available would yield better results, so we tried it. You can read about our underwhelming experience below!
QuickFix is an interactive installation by Belgian artist Dries Depoorter, which sells Instagram followers and likes for a few Euros. Pros: your purchase is logged by the installation, which allows you to become part of the art! Cons: There are only two QuickFix machines in existence, so you can only access this service if you happen to be in the right European gallery.
How much does it cost to buy Instagram followers?
This varies, depending on the service.
Most offer a volume discount, so that getting 10,000 followers looks like a better deal than buying a few hundred.
Overall, buying Instagram followers is cheap when you purchase instant follows. Most of the services we reviewed charge around $15 USD for 1,000 followers. Some were more expensive, in the $25-40 USD range.
Growth management services, which use automation or manual engagement to generate followers, will cost more. These services can range from $50-250 USD per month.
Not included in those costs is the long-term damage to your professional reputation and account. More on that below!
Does buying Instagram followers work?
Short answer: no, absolutely not.
Longer answer: it’s true that these services will boost your account with Instagram followers of questionable quality. But like the increase to your height when you convert from Imperial to Metric, it’s an illusion. Even the number of real followers that you have is a vanity metric, one that doesn’t represent a meaningful return on your investment.
But if those genuine followers actually enjoy your content, then they’re likely to turn into customers. As our experiments reveal, even the most “high quality” fake followers tend to be random accounts that have nothing to do with your business or niche. They’ll never engage with your posts, become real customers, or spread positive word of mouth about your company.
So, if your only goal is to have a higher number of followers, then these services will help you accomplish that. At least temporarily, until Instagram notices the spammy activity on your account and locks it down.
But if you want to build a successful business, connect with customers, and generate a return on investment from your social media strategy, then there are better ways to spend your time and money.
You don’t need to take our word for it! We bought followers from Social Boost to find out what would happen (watch our video in the intro to see results).
What happens when you buy expensive Instagram followers?
We’ve run a few tests to find out what happens when you buy Instagram followers.
In 2021, we purchased cheap instant followers from Famoid. This year, we paid more for a premium growth management service in the name of science. There were a few differences:
The premium service was more work for us
Because the goal of these services is to get “organic” engagement through liking and following other accounts on your behalf, you need to do your homework for them. Our growth agent required us to provide details on influencers, demographics, and hashtags that would help them identify who we wanted to target.
You might wonder: if you’re coming up with this information, couldn’t you use it to like and follow relevant accounts yourself? Why yes, you can! And you should — because you’ll do a better job of it than a click farm worker.
The growth agent also advised us to post Instagram Stories daily, and two or three posts in the feed each week. This is actually good advice! But it’s a reminder that you can’t simply sit back and watch the followers roll in.
You still need to put in the work.
We got security alerts from Instagram
These premium fake follower services require your account credentials, so they can log in on your behalf. Because click farms are based all over the world, agents use a VPN to make it appear as though they’re logging in from your regular location.
But, like every other aspect of this experience, they over-promised and under-delivered. We got security alerts from Instagram when they noticed logins and account activity in strange locations, which is a reminder that you’re never going to fool Instagram. They’re bound to notice if something sketchy is going on with your account.
We got security alerts from our bank, too
While trying to pay for our growth service, our credit card was declined and our bank called us repeatedly because they were concerned about fraud. We convinced them to unlock our card, and the first payment went through.
Then… we waited. And despite the fact that a payment showed up on our credit card, our growth service told us that it hadn’t come through.
So we paid again, against the advice of our bank, who warned us that we were definitely being scammed. (Don’t try this at home!!)
Because the service wouldn’t start working on our behalf until the payments cleared, we were out $500 USD before they even got started. Finally, the money went through.
The results were not great
Nineteen days after trying to make our first payment, we finally start seeing the promised followers! Drumroll please…
After 19 days, we had 37 new followers. That’s about two followers per day, the kind of growth you could see yourself with just a little bit of effort and no alarming international transactions.
By the time we pulled the plug on this experiment, we’d gotten a few more followers. By week four, we had 335 followers. That’s about $1.50 USD per follower. For that price, you would expect them to be pretty great! But they were inactive, extremely fake-looking, and totally unrelated to our account.
We received some weird DMs
As a self-help book might say, the energy you put out into the world tends to come back to you.
And when you engage in shady practices, you attract shady people. Our DMs during this experiment were pretty colorful, including two offers of psychic readings and one invitation to join the Illuminati.
It’s just another reminder that buying fake followers comes with unintended consequences. Bizarre DMs are harmless fun, unless they’re clogging up your inbox and making it hard to find and connect with real followers.
4 reasons NOT to buy Instagram followers
Instagram can tell.
As with the great bot crackdown of 2018, Instagram is always working to keep the platform secure and authentic. That means they regularly purge fake accounts, and crack down on users who purchase them. If they notice suspicious account activity, they could suspend your account or even delete it permanently.
Brands will avoid working with you.
Fake followers are no secret, and legitimate brands want to ensure they’re not partnering with companies or influencers who use them.
Free tools like HypeAuditor make it easy to find out who is artificially inflating their follower count.
If you’re caught buying fake followers, you’ll ruin your credibility and damage your reputation. Those negative impacts will last a lot longer than your fake followers’ accounts.
Real users won’t follow you.
Even regular Instagram users will notice if your account is mostly followed by fake-looking accounts. Have you ever looked at an Instagram post where the only comments are from obvious spam accounts? It ruins the vibe.
Influencers and companies often buy followers to boost their credibility, thinking that users are more likely to follow an account with 20,000 followers than 200. But you’re not fooling anyone, and the users you are hoping to attract will run the other way.
You’ll mess up your analytics.
If you have a lot of purchased followers, your follower count might be high — but your engagement is going to be really low, because those fake followers don’t interact with your content.
This is off-putting to brands and partners, who care more about high engagement rates than high follower counts. A good engagement rate is typically between 1% and 5% per post. The more fake followers you have, the more those engagement rates are diluted.
This will also make it harder for you to figure out what’s working and improve your social media strategy. If all your followers are genuine, it’s easy to see what content they’re responding to by seeing what posts and Stories get more engagement.
What to do instead of buying Instagram followers
If you want to increase your Instagram following, there are a lot of legitimate ways to do so! It won’t happen overnight, but the followers you earn count for a lot more than the ones you buy.
Make great content
There’s no shortcut here, unfortunately! Audiences are discerning, as are brands. That means you need to post engaging videos and high-quality photos, accompanied by well-written captions.
You also want to ensure your content is discoverable.
Tagging relevant accounts and using hashtags will boost your visibility. Getting on the Explore page is the golden ticket, which is more likely to happen if you post regularly and have an active following. Instagram prioritizes posts that are performing well, so check out our guide for getting more likes on your Instagram content.
Promote your Instagram account
You should make it easy for people to find you on Instagram! If possible, ensure your username is consistent across all social media platforms. That way, someone who follows you on TikTok will know how to find you on Instagram too.
You can also cross-post your best Instagram content to your other social media platforms, to encourage your audiences to follow you to Instagram.
Think beyond social media, too. Your Instagram account should be included on your website, in your email signature, on your business cards, and on any other promotional materials for your business.
Run a contest
If you’re seeking a quick fix, Instagram contests can boost your following fast.
Getting users to follow your account, tag friends, and share your content to their own accounts in order to participate will attract new followers and amplify your reach.
Focus on relationships
Followers don’t just want you to talk at them— they want you to talk to them. Responding to comments, hosting Q&As on your Stories, and sharing user-generated content on your feed are just a few ways to show your followers that you’re listening, too.

Buy ads, not followers
If you want to amplify your reach, advertising on Instagram is a legitimate (and effective) way to do it. Paid advertising on Instagram reaches up to 1.48 billion people, which means you’ll definitely pick up some new followers.
Stay on trend
To stay on top of Instagram, you have to change with the times. Users’ tastes and preferences are constantly evolving, which means your content needs to evolve too.
Here’s what users want to see in 2022.

Is it safe to buy followers on Instagram?
It’s not technically “safe” to buy Instagram followers, but there’s a caveat.
Yes, you are putting your account at risk by breaching Instagram’s terms of service and gaming the system.
Not to mention that most of your new followers will be bots or fake accounts that might unfollow you in a few weeks.
However, there’s a brighter side to buying Instagram followers, too.
It kickstarts your follower growth. If you are just new to Instagram it’s hard to generate credibility if you don’t have any followers. By buying followers, even if they are bots, you gain Klout with other potential accounts which will increase the chance of real people following you too.
The key is not to go crazy and purchase too many followers. If you only have a handful of posts and hundreds of thousands of followers, it’s going to set off alarm bells for both Instagram and other potential followers. Your account will look inauthentic.
On the flip side, if you buy Instagram followers in smaller increments time and time again, your follower growth will look organic – it will just be way faster!
Which site is best to buy Instagram followers?
If you’re like many Instagram users, influencers, and celebrities who are willing to buy Instagram followers to kickstart their growth, always follow these best practices:

- It has real customer reviews and testimonials.
- It has a follower guarantee so you don’t lose followers over time.
- Its support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Based on those criteria, here are the top ten sites for buying Instagram followers:

How do I buy genuine Instagram followers?
If you’re looking to buy genuine (real) Instagram followers, you’ll need to make sure the service you purchase from follows the best practices I discussed earlier. Here’s a reminder of those tips:
- Secure website with an SSL
- Drip-feeds the followers
- Real customer reviews
- Follower guarantee
- Responsive support team
You should also aim too run an active Instagram account that produces quality diverse content, is consistently posting and interacting with followers, and focuses on building a brand.
In combination, buying Instagram followers from a service like Useviral and growing your account organically with best-practice marketing will deliver the optimal results.
Why does follower quality matter?
If follower count is just a number, why does the quality matter? There are a couple of key reasons that you’ll want to keep in mind, so don’t just buy any random Instagram followers. Fake followers can actually hurt your account.
Always buy from companies who provide high-quality Instagram followers and you’ll be good to go.
Here are some of the top reasons why you need real Instagram followers:
- Real people bring real results: If you have real Instagram followers, it can help your profile’s reputation. If you have a bunch of fake followers with no profile pic and weird usernames, your account will look sketchy and your reputation will actually suffer. The more real followers you have, the more real followers you’re likely to attract.
- Instagram removes fake followers: Instagram protects the integrity of its platform by cleaning it out on a regular basis; if they identify users as fakes or bots, they’ll remove them from the platform.
So, you need to buy high-quality followers that aren’t going to disappear. - More engagement: The true indicator of Instagram success is actually engagement, and if you don’t have enough to match up to your follower count, your reputation will be on shaky ground. You need a healthy follower-to-engagement ratio, and having more real followers will help you have better engagement levels.
When you have real followers who care about your content and see it in their feed, your account will remain healthy and will continually grow over time – this is the goal.
How much does it cost to buy followers on Instagram?
Buying Instagram followers is fairly cheap these days, with prices ranging from as little as $2 for 100 followers to $950 for 100,000 followers, or a fully managed service such as Kicksta which is a monthly fee starting at $49.
If you’re really serious about growing a sustainable brand on Instagram, I would recommend the following:
- Hire a social media assistant on Fiverr to engage and post organically on the platform.
- Purchase a small number of monthly followers from a service such as Useviral.
- Use an Instagram growth service, such as Kicksta, for ongoing and consistent engagement.
- Make the most of hashtag trends and unique hashtags with a service like Hashtagsforlikes.
This approach could see you build significant influence in a short period of time.
Pros and cons of buying Instagram followers
Buying Instagram followers is something that anyone who is trying to gain more notoriety for their profile has likely considered; even still, it can be a difficult decision to make. Is it right for you?
I’m going to break down some of the pros and cons so that you can get a clear snapshot of what buying Instagram followers can do for you and whether or not it’s something that may be beneficial.
If you’re really trying to gain more Instagram followers and boost your performance, using companies that can help you attract more people is a good idea.
Let’s take a look at the benefits and downsides.
Pros
- Speed up Instagram growth: When you buy Instagram followers, it’s no surprise that it will help you speed up Instagram growth. Obviously you’ll be getting an influx of followers, but it’s not just that – when you buy followers you can increase the speed of your growth in general because you will have more social proof and you will start to perform better against the Instagram algorithm, getting you more reach.
- More followers bring more followers: It’s a strange phenomenon, but one that is based around the idea of social cred. When you have more followers, you’ll gain more followers – people want to be part of a successful and well-liked community, and when you have a lot of followers, others will be more likely to hit that follow button. It may be the deciding factor as to whether or not they follow you.
- Engagement: If you have real followers, you’ll also gain more engagement, which will help you perform well against the Instagram algorithm.
If you have a lot of followers that engage with and look at your post, it will appear higher on their Instagram feed, getting it seen by more people and encouraging engagement. This will help your performance overall so it’s a great benefit. - Recommendations and shares: If people love what you’re posting, connect with your message, love your products, or want to show someone what you’re about, they’ll share it, so having more followers increases this possibility.
- Build authority: Having more Instagram followers helps your profile look more credible and ultimately builds authority in your niche. If you have a lot of people who follow you and value your content, you’ll start to carve out a reputation for yourself on Instagram.
Cons
- Many fake companies out there: It’s no easy task to sift through all of the different companies out there and see which ones might actually be of benefit to you. Not only that, it’s unfortunate that some companies target Instagram users who are genuinely looking for help and they get taken advantage of by companies who don’t provide anything of value.
While this shouldn’t prevent you from buying Instagram followers, you should always be skeptical and critical when making a decision on which company to partner with. - Can become a cycle: Too often people want an overnight secret to Instagram fame and expect to just buy followers and then gain the popularity they want. This can be a big downside for those who get stuck in the cycle of buying followers. Avoid this by doing it only as a means to an end; it shouldn’t be your only strategy and really not even your principal one.
Overall, buying Instagram followers or using an Instagram growth service is a good idea as long as you use a critical eye when choosing the company and keep implementing your own strategies for content, captions, and hashtags.
Buy Instagram followers to accelerate growth

Buying followers on Instagram: the benefits of choosing
You can have different attitudes towards social networks, but judging by the number of users who want to get followers on Instagram, the importance of these resources for modern people cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, many Internet users can no longer imagine their existence without their favorite "social networks" and, along with the traditional morning cup of coffee, start their day by checking the page for new comments and interesting entries in the feed.
It's worth remembering that Instagram is somewhat different from regular social networks. There are no text messages and materials here, since this original resource is dedicated exclusively to photos. At the same time, given the real passion of many modern people to capture their lives in pictures and demonstrate them in the vastness of the virtual space, one can hardly be afraid that in the near future the fashion for photoblogs will go away forever.
Experts identify several main reasons why account holders resort to paid promotion of live followers on Instagram. First of all, this is the desire to increase the authority of your account, because the presence of a large number of live followers on Instagram automatically means that this photoblog contains interesting information worthy of attention.
It doesn't really matter whether the rapid gain of followers on Instagram is connected with your desire to realize your personal ambitions or the desire to promote your business account. When you get real followers on Instagram in large numbers, it always brings positive results!
Since the competition in the blogosphere is incredibly high, the decision to buy live followers on Instagram is a smarter and faster option than collecting followers through conventional methods. Even if your pictures are really interesting and unusual, it will take time to get 1000 followers on Instagram, because the number of accounts in any niche is simply impressive and it is very difficult for beginners. When deciding to get followers on Instagram online, you can boost your page in a short period of time and take high positions in the ranking. For example, cheating followers on Instagram through our website will allow you to multiply the number of your followers in just a few days!
Artificially cheating followers on Instagram leads to the fact that ordinary visitors of the social network begin to pay attention to your photoblog and subscribe to it! When an account reaches the TOP, it immediately becomes noticeable and arouses interest among users.
Thus, subscribers on Instagram for money lead to you and free followers, because here the well-known stereotype from the category "where everything is, I go there" is triggered. Simply put, when a person notices that you have a lot of real followers on Instagram, they will probably want to follow or at least bookmark your page in order to study it more closely in the future. For most social network users, it is psychologically difficult to ignore those who have 1000 followers on Instagram or many times more, and new subscriptions contribute to further promotion of the account and growth in popularity!
Cheat live followers on Instagram to achieve commercial goals and objectives
Cheat followers on Instagram online will be a relevant solution for promoting business projects in social networks, regardless of whether we are talking about information products or ordinary goods or services. The Internet has long been the most important tool for communicating with customers, and the leading social network is no exception to the rule.
Not everyone considers it worth buying Instagram followers just to show off new vacation photos taken at a prestigious resort, or buying a status foreign car. Although, on the other hand, why not take the celebrity example, whose life we have the opportunity to observe through personal photo blogs? Own Instagram accounts, regularly updated with new pictures, are now available not only for show business stars who, due to the specifics of their work, love publicity, but also for politicians, athletes and other people with serious professions.
Of course, each person himself sets the boundaries of his personal space and decides whether it is worth informing the whole world about his personal life. But even the most notorious skeptics are unlikely to doubt the fact that live Instagram followers, which you can buy on the pages of our resource, will be able to make up an active part of your consumer audience and bring considerable profit if you use social network resources to promote products and services! The more people who know about your product, the more orders you can get, so ignoring building a large subscription base is literally giving your profits to your competitors!
Don't discount the fact that Instagram followers for a fee help to increase loyalty to your product from ordinary users of the social network.
If an account has a lot of followers, this is obvious evidence that the product is in demand. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world regularly make sales through their Instagram account, and many solid commercial projects began their existence from social resources. First, you invest in buying live followers on Instagram, and in return you get a positive reputation and the trust of potential customers, for whom a large number of followers on your account automatically means that the product you offer is really good and useful for the buyer.
In addition, the presence of a large subscriber base allows you to promptly inform them about your company's new offers by sending appropriate notifications by e-mail, so any advertising will become much more effective.
Cheat followers on Instagram online to participate in contests
Instagram positions itself as a social network for young and active people, so followers on Instagram online will definitely come in handy for those who want to be not just a passive contemplator, but take an active part in the life of the resource.
First of all, we are talking about numerous contests, the victory in which is much easier to get if you buy real followers on Instagram and enlist their support when voting. Contests on Instagram are held regularly, and participation in these events is a great way to make yourself known and win valuable prizes from the organizers.
It is enough to buy a suitable tariff plan on our website, and cheating followers on Instagram will allow you to multiply the number of likes for your photos! It is quite natural that the winner of any contest is the owner of the largest number of likes, and this is possible with a large number of followers. Cheating live followers on Instagram on your own, as well as cheating likes, is problematic, so it’s best to buy a suitable Smmlaba service package and watch the number of followers increase day by day.

How to get followers in 2022 on Instagram: from 0 to 10,000
Subscribe to our telegram channel
Do not miss new useful articles and keep the old ones handy.
As practice shows, the first 10,000 subscribers are the hardest to get. The reason is simple: people are reluctant to subscribe to little-known pages. But nothing is impossible. We have compiled 14 tips for you to help you grow your profile from scratch within a year.
#1 Join mutual PR groups / Liketme
How can a little-known page quickly gain followers? Join mutual PR groups, this tactic is best for promoting new accounts.
It works like this. A group of participants is recruited, after which everyone sends a link to their post. All members of the group like and comment on each other's posts, thereby increasing the reach. When there are a lot of likes and comments under your post, it arouses the interest of other people: they want to see what is there.
Sounds nice. But. There are many groups for mutual PR and on various topics, for example, about travel, fashion, etc. To attract your target audience, join such groups on the topic of your page. And to keep the attention of new subscribers, you should also subscribe to them.
This is a short-term strategy for developing a page from scratch that will not increase sales, but will increase brand trust and awareness.
#2 Repost someone else's content
To promote his store, Nicole Martins Ferreira, an SMM specialist, started using the Repost for Instagram app to repost other people's content.
One of these reposts got 52,862 views, 1,264 comments and 9,147 likes. It was a big hit, Nicole didn't even have 10,000 subscribers at the time. But remember, according to Instagram policy, you need to request permission to repost from the author of publications. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting banned.
Why reposts of other people's content, and not publications of your own? Newbies don't have such good content, and reposting - what could be easier?
What content to repost? Use hashtags to find the most popular posts, share the ones that got you the most engagement.
This is the simplest and most effective strategy for beginners.
#3 Ask followers to share photos
It's much easier to promote your Instagram page if you have a product or service that your customers share on their profile. If you post content with your customers, it will increase your social security and credibility.
If you haven't had any clients yet, you can contact an influencer (blogger) that suits your niche and order a review of your product. It is better to choose bloggers who have about 5,000 subscribers. Such accounts have a much lower cost of advertising and a more engaged audience.
You can also offer cooperation. For each completed sale through a referral link, you pay a commission to the blogger.
If you already have clients, you can ask them to tag you in their story or feed in exchange for a gift or a discount. Once you have enough clients, you don't have to ask anymore, they will tag you for free.
#4 Create a consistent style and stick to it
Yes, sounds like “ blah blah blah ” .
Let's figure it out.
Often people subscribe not because of the published content, but because of the anticipation and the ability to predict what your next post will be.
Let's say you run a corgi page and post cute pictures and videos of him every day. Users who come across your content may notice that you always have cute corgi photos. They will subscribe and start following your page, waiting for new cute corgi posts.
Sticking to a single style or theme is more than a branding game. We are talking about the psychophysiological component of emotions: the expectations that your existing and potential subscribers create. They want and expect to see more content of the same type or style every day.
Sticking to a consistent style builds confidence and trust in your brand, which in turn helps you grow your following.
#5 Use hashtags
Many social media experts recommend using 5 to 11 hashtags. Don't be afraid to ignore such advice!
Start experimenting with hashtags and eventually you'll figure out which ones are right for your brand.
Why not use 30 hashtags? You can add all these hashtags to the first comment under the post, which few people will see.
Is your goal to increase coverage? Then this is the easiest way. With hashtags, your posts will rank higher for keywords, which increases your reach.
If you want to reach your target audience, then you should avoid generic hashtags like #love or #life, use niche hashtags.
#6 Use location tags
Increase your reach with « Location tags » , it indicates the city or place where the video or image was taken.
If your business is in a certain city, you can use these geotags to make it easier for people to find and follow your Instagram account.
Locations have their own separate feed, stories and hashtags - use this sticker and your content will be automatically added there.
#7 Start blogging
Do you have a blog? Start running it on Hashtap or Yandex.Zen.
You can add links to your YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook accounts to your blog post.
The more people who read your blog, the more likely they are to go to your social media pages and follow.
This is more of a long term strategy and you may not have a blog. But the faster you start it and add links to your social networks, the more likely you are to gain subscribers.
#8 Follow competitors' followers
To promote your account, you need to find people who follow your competitors' pages.
Do you know your competitors? Find them! Then study their profile, content and who comments on their posts, highlight your target audience. Start chatting with them.
It's best to choose smaller competitors to start with, as larger ones may have good loyalty programs that you may not be able to afford at the moment.
#9 Work with bloggers
Why bloggers? Every blogger has his loyal followers. By running ads with a blogger, you are guaranteed to get new subscribers and, most likely, sales.
But when choosing a blogger, carefully study his profile, exclude cheating subscribers.
Sign an agreement so that the blogger cannot use bots. Due to the rapid influx of fake followers, you can get your account banned. You do not want this?
#10 Giveaways
Giveaways are another effective way to promote your account.
If the draw is published on the site, you can make a subscription to your social networks a mandatory condition for participation. This is how you unlock your account.
If you don't have many subscribers, you can post about the draw in free groups and blogs. You can also negotiate with bloggers - you send them a product, they review it for free and talk about the draw. Many agree to such conditions. Result? Hundreds of new subscribers in all social networks.
If you don't have your own audience yet, this is a great way to attract new subscribers. And to attract the target audience, you need to choose a blog from your niche.
Is your goal to promote your account? Then this strategy is for you if increasing sales is not.
#11 Collaborations with other brands
While you're at the start of promoting your page, collaborating with other brands is a quick way to gain a base of targeted followers. You just repost and tag each other's profile.
You don't have to do anything but repost. New subscribers will write to you first.
#12 Instagram Tips/Guide
