When making money isn't the main goal

First up, thank you all so much for all your information and support helping me grow my IG. I've cracked 20K on my personal model account through shoutouts and spent quite a bit. Also just managed to monetise it!! However, my aim is to get up to 100K and not so much the aspect of monetising my account. I guess what I'm asking is would it be worth buying fake followers and fake likes to fake it until I make it? Shoutouts are good but costly for a personal account and slow. Does anyone have any other suggestions or offerings? Perhaps mentions could be worth a shot. I've noticed on some celebrity and model accounts they have bot accounts like their photos. I feel like buying lots of fake followers is risky with IG deleting them constantly. Interested in other thoughts. Thanks

This whole section is filled with the answers to your questions.
No idea why you Instagram guys make numerous threads asking the same thing.

Why do you want to buy fake followers? It's not an achievement to reach 100k by buying fake followers, anyone can do that. Grow your page properly and it will be much more rewarding.

I am certainly no Social Media Guru. And I have no fucking clue about IG. But you see on FaceBook, your fake followers maybe getting the views (I can't explain it any better) You see you want real people to see your shite, and not fake people. If IG or FB start showing your traffic to your fake people, you have nothing. But then again I am a fucking no one in social media, I know nothing. (just what I would take a guess at). Surely someone could tell you better.
