If you want to become successful online, you need to have a lot of followers. Whether you want to use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram or X, video sharing sites like Youtube, TikTok, or article sites, blogs etc. you need followers. If you have a lot of followers on social media and video sites, you can earn from content monetization, marketing, sponsorship. If you have a lot of followers on article sites or blogs, you can earn good revenue. If you have followers, you can easily sell your products and services.

How do you build followers?

Buying Followers and Engagements

A lot of people are buying followers and engagements for their social pages and video sites. If you spend a couple of hundreds of dollars, you can get 1000-2000 or even more followers in no time, it will boost your numbers pretty fast. If you have also bought engagements, apart from seeing your follower count go up, you will also see more people liking and commenting on your posts But here's the thing: it's not a smart strategy. When you are buying followers, you are likely getting follows from fake accounts or bots. Therefore, you will also see a sharp decline on your followers count. Even if you get human followers, these are mostly fake accounts created just for the purpose of following social pages, therefore, engagement will drop once you stop buying. Buying followers to build your follower count is not a reliable way to grow your presence on social media. Buying followers and engagement is just a waste of resources. You're throwing away your time, money, and effort.

Building Followers Through Advertising

Instead of spending money buying followers, you can use the same money to run ads. When you run ads you will be able to reach a lot of people in a short time. When you reach into the feed of people, and if you have advertised yourself well, and if you offer something of value, you can certainly get followers. You are not actually spending money to directly buy followers, you can actually reaching a lot of people through ads and inviting them to follow you. There is no guarantee that you will get a lot of followers but advertising is better than buying followers.

How to Build Followers Genuinely

If you want to build followers, focus on getting real followers. Real followers mean users who follow your social media pages for the content you share and the person you are. These people are genuinely following you, they are not your followers because they have received incentives or have been pressurized.
The next important thing is to share valuable content. Valuable content is the content that actually helps your followers, gives them true info, and teaches them something.

Are you referring to running ads for something like an Instagram profile? Can you please give a little more info on how to do that in practice?

To attract real followers, it's essential to focus on sharing valuable content that resonates with your target audience. Valuable content is content that provides genuine value to your followers, whether it's by entertaining, educating, inspiring, or informing them. By understanding your audience's needs, interests, and pain points, you can create content that addresses their specific concerns and adds value to their lives.

I have tried buying followers online but all seems to be a waste. Many turn not to be human and their engagement is not there. I simply create value and let them follow or subscribe at will. However,. many share making it via bought followers and are happy.

Not for profile but for content. If you run ads for your content, people who like your content will start following you. Running ads for your content will improve your reach and exposure.

I do not get it, you can buy organic traffic from forums. Whatever one is building they can set up a campaign or advertisement on the marketplace. Most quality members would be willing to perform the task for a small stipend. The only thing perhaps that limits people from relying on forums is that the pay tends to look too small but forums do have organic traffic.

Do you actually know what organic traffic actually means? It is a traffic that builds from search engines. When you use forums for traffic, it is called direct traffic.

You could join lots of online social groups and contribute valuable engagements on them. They would start following you on social media when you promote.

If you are promoting yourself as a brand, it is very important to look good but if your focus is on the content you create, it is not important to show yourself on your all photos or videos
