Buying followers

Hi,

We’re starting to run legit accounts (real high quality content), but we want to make them look legit from the get go.

So the idea is to buy a couple thousand followers for each of the accounts.

The concern comes from not knowing if buying followers can be a cause for shadowbans or bans - could anyone shed some light?

If you’ve got the experience, please share your tips (how long to wait to get the followers from account creation, need to have videos/images on the account already?)

Thanks everyone!

There are a variety of panels that you can buy from the marketplace.
Nobody really knows exactly what works, as there are so many factors that are incorporated into the algorithm.
From the cookies you use to sign up to your account, to log in with, to what proxy you have, what the proxy's history is, your user agent, if your profile lines up....etc.
The best way is get a social drip follow from the same geo, but even then it is sus to meta.

They can tell it is sus when accounts who never interacted with any of your posts in their history, just start following you out of nowhere.
Simultaneously, they know that they cant outright punish you for it, because technically in that case it can be used as a weapon (i dont like this person, so I will bot followers to them, and get their account banned - they want to prevent this as a strategy against competitors or other people in general).
So, it is tough to say. But really just buy a few k at first, make sure your profile is good, and you should be fine.

Buying followers will not shadow ban your account but your engagement will be minimum, and algorithm will decrease your reach. I would suggest you to focus on organic growth of your accounts.

This way to increase followers does not affect advertising accounts, there is only one problem as follows. You understand that increasing followers will be fake followers and will not be useful for increasing your interaction. I think you should start slowly with accounts to have certain potential customers instead of many followers but no interactions associated with it.

Buying followers for your account does not help your posts reach more audiences or increase engagement. They will cause your account to encounter problems related to that platform's algorithm.

Instead, create good content and start with meaningful posts, then many people will be interested and follow your account.

You should focus on growing your account with good content and good posts first.

Buying few k followers at the start is a good idea since you are going to be posting quality content.
There won't be any shadow bans for adding those amount of followers.
You can add the followers from get go without having many posts. But As you start posting, add some likes and views to your posts to make them look legit.
I have seen this done a lot with Instagram, should be okay on other platforms as well.
Goodluck.

It's always best to grow organically. If you choose to buy, wait at least a few weeks after account creation and have genuine content posted first. Always prioritize real engagement over follower count
