Followers

I order Social Network Support Services alot. Including support in getting Followers. The big question that everyone asks is...Are they "Real"?. The single most asked question because it is the most important to many of us. But something else goes on as well. Complaints about newly acquired Followers quickly leaving. We all know Facebook, Twitter, etc. often "scrub" Followers. When Followers start disappearing quickly, it's upsetting and raises flags. But I think those of us who order these Services create much of the problem.

If a Provider sends REAL Followers, we all know the best way for that to happen. They use various Social Media, MailLists, etc. and just advertise our Social Media accounts to get users to take a look and "Follow". But when those new Fans start dropping off, Customers, like myself, begin complaining. It seems to me, this pressures the providers to cut corners, send Followers who may not be real, anything to make them "Stick".

In my opinion, it is my job to hold on to those new Followers once a Service Provider has gotten them to "Follow" me on Twitter, Facebook, wherever. If I'm losing lots of Followers, as often as not, it's an indication that I didn't keep them interested. So they left. I'm writing this to say to those like myself who Purchase these Services that we create more problems for ourselves by backing Providers into a corner with unrealistic expectations. And to the Providers, don't let we Customers push you into providing us bad service just to shut us up. Keep sending quality Followers over and leave it to us to be interesting enough to convince those Followers to stick around and be active.

Thanks.

I sell many services like this but I usually offer a re-reimbursement of dropped followers. If 1k drop, I add 1k back for many months. If someone does not offer this then do not buy it because like you said, once their on they'll soon drop. I even guarantee money back if the likes or followers drop. So just simply pay attention and read what your really getting and make sure there are guarantees and positive ratings from sites like WOT or SiteJabber.

The majority of Services I've seen are not providing real(human) followers and when it comes to that it's pretty hard to trust anyone at their word.

Twitter Followers 99% of the time drop because of low quality accounts/methods being used to follow and then Twitter removes the accounts. Not to mention the way some providers just bomb your account all at once with the followers, clearly a red flag when the same accounts always suddenly follow a person within a short period of time.

When people get thousands of accounts and use them all on a few crappy public proxies then it's very likely they'll get banned soon enough. Not to mention all of the poorly developed bots and automated panels that offer cheap junk.

There are some good providers out there but they're rare, it's simply the people providing junk that's ruining it for anyone honest.

But when those new Fans start dropping off, Customers, like myself, begin complaining. It seems to me, this pressures the providers to cut corners, send Followers who may not be real, anything to make them "Stick".

The corner cutting is the whole problem IMO. If corners were not cut and people used a properly developed software that is updated, high quality proxies, certain ones dedicated to individual accounts and real looking twitter accounts with pictures and some tweets then well I would say there'd be very little chance of the accounts ever being banned and thus the owner of them accounts could provide a better Service than ever and once it's known they actually stick, sales can only increase. That's the case for fake followers IMO.

following other users is the quickest way to gain followers but many times they don't follow back, so you can just keep an eye on the people you are following. You can also submit interesting tweets with proper hashtags.

Speaking of followers, they are of no use if they do notreact to your posts. Let’s say you have 1,000 followers but when you post something, you only get 5 likes. So what does that mean? I am not hinting that your followers are bots or something like that because I know of some followers who are real people but don’t have the propensity to click the like button. In any case, those unresponsive followers have no use and they are fit to be unfriended or unfollowed.
