Yes, we get it. But is buying followers really the way you want to go about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think about the KPI\u2019s that matter, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/ironmarkusa.com\/resources\/6-metrics-your-boss-actually-cares-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6 metrics your boss really cares about<\/a>, does the number of social media followers truly fit the bill? That depends \u2013 is it just vanity metrics you\u2019re looking for, or would leads and conversions be more meaningful to your business? The latter hints back to a sustainable content strategy, and that is what you should really want. Buying followers to boost your numbers on social is tempting \u2013 but it may be doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/matt-smith-later-guest-post-why-you-shouldnt-buy-instagram-followers-from-vending-machines\/\">more harm than good<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rented Traffic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you rent traffic, you are able to engage with your audience through PPC ads, retargeting ads and content promotion, but you do not own anything else (data, platform controls, audience, etc.). And it\u2019s temporary. Once you turn on the firehose of cash, it will blast attention until you turn it off. That\u2019s where the traffic stops cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But website traffic is for rent \u2026 and at a premium cost. Yes, you will see instant results, but unless you\u2019re working hard to create conversion funnels through valuable content on your site, you won\u2019t see follow up action from this uptick in followers. When you solely invest in a rented traffic strategy, the engagement on your page suffers, leaving you with a large audience that will not interact with you. And, that\u2019s pretty sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-alt-serif-font-family\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ironmarkusa.com\/setting-goals-for-business\"><strong>Related: How Setting SMART Goals Can Revolutionize Your Business Goals<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low Engagement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated before, rented traffic could easily lead to low engagement. That is the ultimate downside to purchasing followers. Low engagement negates all social media efforts. When creating social media strategies, the strategist looks at keyword research and industry conversations about the brand or related topics. Low engagement undermines the strategist\u2019s effort and the financial investment placed into the research. The hours it took to create this strategy are basically thrown out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the true goal of your social media strategy is engagement, then every instance of engagement counts. Spending time to create videos or interactive social media posts will be wasted by this mute audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ironmarkusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design-7.png\" alt=\"Why Buying Social Followers is a Bad Idea - Ironmark, Annapolis Junction, MD\" title=\"Why Buying Social Followers is a Bad Idea - Ironmark, Annapolis Junction, MD\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lack of Trust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people (including your boss) might place value on how many followers your page has. The more traditional thought is that the more people that you have on your page, the more opportunities for your marketing message to reach that audience. That thought, however, has been <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/facebook-declining-organic-reach\">proven to be false<\/a>. Also, it\u2019s a vanity metric, and one that might provide social proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, users are more discerning. When they land on a page with tones of fans but low signs of life (engagement), they question the validity. Social media was founded on authenticity and real life experiences. Users have become very accustomed to spotting fake messaging behavior and sketchy marketing hacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-alt-serif-font-family\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ironmarkusa.com\/are-your-facebook-ads-performing\"><strong>Related: Are Your Facebook Ads Performing the Way You Think?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your social media strategy shouldn\u2019t be a lone island. Simply put: it\u2019s not enough to buy your friends anymore. Instead, your social media strategy should be nestled in your overall marketing strategy. And remember, your goal should always be to solve your customers\u2019 problems. You need to nurture your social presence with other types of engagement tactics to support its continuous growth and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully examine each channel\u2019s audience \u2013 where are the constants?
