The Truth About Buying Twitter Followers

Posted by on May 6, 2010 | 4 comments

Every once in a while, I come across a topic that I’m super heated about and tend to go on a bit of rant. This is one of those topics. There’s A LOT I have to say about buying Twitter followers, Facebook fans, you name it, and in this video, a couple very successful guys’ names were thrown out there as well (Hey John Chow and Jonathon Volk!).

It’s my goal to help you build your following, and not using some service that frankly, is gonna fill you up (“if” they deliver) with a bunch of irrelevant bot accounts and maybe just a few goodies out of the whole pack. 1000 followers for $250 or 25,000 followers for $2500? I don’t think so.

Here’s the truth about buying Twitter followers, f-bomb included…

I would totally do it. Why? Because if you do it right, you can win over some of them in the same way you win over everyone else. As long as you treat them right, I don't see a problem with it. I know a lot of people won't like that, but I think there's value there if you do it right.

FUCK that shit... Excuse the language, but seriously WTF is the point of buying a follower? Its the exact opposite of what you want in a social media campaign. The goal is INTERACTING with people who care about, or use, or are "fans" of your brand.You nailed my thoughts in your video. This is the first I had heard of such a service...

There is no way I would ever pay for followers. I do, however, hire a couple of guys out of Chicago to make follow-up visits to people who don't follow or friend me :)
