Your ad has been approved albeit with some asterisks.

While I'm not a big fan of buying likes, I understand that no one wants to be the first person to show up to the party. So yes, buying likes can get you moving toward social proof, or at least, the illusion of such.

Good luck.

What if people put as much energy into gaining real fans as they did into purchasing fake ones? My businesses don't purchase fake followers.

But selling Warrior forum type shit

Pardon me for monetizing the forum and allowing users to share their products and services without having to fear being labelled a spammer. I guess the 341,201 minutes I've spent here on the last 7 years should remain unpaid. As for "real value" I think the use of fake followers has been suggested to be effective when just getting started out of the gates on a new social media page, for someone trying to acquire the real users and not lose them simply because a page/account has ZERO followers.

For anybody hesitant about buying followers:

My twitter account was DEAD, had 500 followers for months and months and months.
I purchased 8K fake followers (not from this seller) and I noticed an immediate increase in activity from other people from the social proof.

Right now my twitter accounts says I have 11K+ followers. ~8K are fake, ~3K are real.
It's easier to get traction when people take your seriously. Once I reach 8k legit followers, I'll use an app to block/remove the fake accounts and be 100% legit.

No one ever wants to be left out. Watch this video.


I work for CREATIV, a social network for creatives, and it's amazing to see how this idea is right on point with the user-base we've grown.

I'm using it for my instagram page now. Already, organic likes & comments are coming in.

Fake fans dilute advertising efforts. If you have 10k fake fans, then any real fans you have will probably never see anything you post. It's a percentages game.

ya. I refuse to do this, I'd rather pay for advertising that gets me real followers. If your business offers something good, the likes will come naturally. Takes longer, but it's way better.

I still don't get why anyone would want to have the illusion of popularity. Is it because people will think your bigger? I don't think people care either way, they either like what you offer or they don't. The illusion will only get you so far, it's almost pointless.

Like stated before in many threads. I'd rather have 1,000 followers who buy and actually like what I offer. Then 1,000,000 who don't.

Of course illusion will only get you so far. In our society people love "popular". Not only that, but when you see a page with a ton of likes you could make a pretty good assumption that they put out pretty good content/posts (hence posts that are boring and dumb=no likes)-- At that point just put out some killer content. Its not rocket science. Nobody is saying it will get you to the moon and back..Whats being stated is that when someone shows up to a page with 0 likes as compared to 12,953 likes....You tell me what one you are more inclined to like? You will like it and go about your day and never know it had fake likes. Makes you think how many pages you've actually liked that are this way.....? 9/10 people will like the one with a ton of likes. I know when I see a FB page with under 100 likes I assume its old/dead or just laugh and click my back button. Its like a crutch or boost to get you to where you want to go. Pay for likes until you reach a point where you have sustainable likes coming in and they can take over. Do girls like the guy at the HS dance with 10 girls on him or the guy who is over in the corner that nobody's even noticed? I know....it is sad and i don't agree...but welcome to America!!!

All in all....a lot of businesses are illusion when you think about it. That well written tag line that is different when you get inside and it has extra catches or flashy labeling ETC.

Anyway, I see it as a great way to not lose likes or have people back out when indeed you actually pay for ads. I like high conversion rates.

Okay ... Let me tell you why I do NOT like this idea (of buying likes).

Suppose I have 1000 REAL likes ... and then I buy 9,000 FAKE likes.

How is that going to effect my content distribution ...?

Well ... for starters ... my posts are going to get kicked in the nuts ... hard.

Here's why.

Suppose of the 1000 REAL fans ... 50 are regularly engaged ... commenting ... liking ... sharing ... etc.

That translates to 5% engagement. Okay ... not bad.

Now throw in 9000 fake fans ... who are NOT engaging. What is my engagement percentage now ...?

A meager 0.5%

And that blows.

So Facebook is going to assume (reasonably) that my posts must SUCK ... because next to no one is engaging with them ... and score them lower.

Which means the percentage of people who see your content in their organic news feeds ... is going to plummet.

Facebook (in other words) ... is going to PUNISH you.

Said differently ... your organic content will be right on par with invites to Farmville.

Instant backfire.

AND ... if I pay to boost my posts ... guess what ... 90% of my paid views ... is going to be the fake profiles.

How do ya like them apples ...?

You just paid to advertise to fakes.

Second ... Facebook is not stupid. You don't think it can see right through this ...?

You think it can't tell the difference between fake profile and a real one ...?

I do.

Think Facebook is going to reward people who do this ...?

I seriously doubt it.

I appreciate why people "want" more likes ... but "buying fake likes" (imho) ... is not the way to go.

The cons far outweigh the pros.

If you want more likes ... focus on creating quality content people want to read and share.

Develop some social media skills.

That (imho) ... is the only sensible long-term solution.

Could I by any chance buy 1000 followers or likes and then pay you $5 everytime I post something for them all to like it?

To everyone else as far as I've heard buying fake likes for Facebook will kill your "reach", so do a bit of research before you jump in as you may end up ruining your chances of your real likes seeing your posts

That's what I mean they limit your reach and when you pay more to expand the reach of your posts facebook won't discriminate between real likes and fake likes in the selection of that expansion. Engagement could go down. Facebook does what you do only they lie about it. I know with them you can't get rid of the likes you paid for in bulk. And with them the likes you pay for look real but their not always real.
Can you delete the likes if the customer doesn't want them anymore? Like help get things started then tapper off as organic likes come in? I am really looking forward to creating quality content to generate organic likes and views, but like MJ said people don't always want to show up to the party first. So I'm semi interested in giving it a go.
Also how safe is this I've heard a lot of people say it's not worth it? I'm trying to build a brand and put in a lot of work. How likely is it any of these websites will catch it and block you or something? I mean the last thing I would want is to lose a following I worked so hard to get.

You'd never get banned from Facebook and once the likes are on there we can't delete them. It won't harm your paid reach as the user has to see it to be considered in your reach. With our likes the user never sees it so they're not in the system.

OP paid for this posting.

It doesn't seem fair to come in and discount the service he is providing on a paid ad that adds to the forum upkeep.

If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to buy.

After thinking about what you just said, Grumpy ... perhaps you're right ... maybe I should have just kept quiet. If for no other reason ... than good manners and just being polite.

I've deleted my prior post.

Forum is doing so bad it needs to be sponsored by people selling shit?? For community preaching 'create real value' that is kind of hypocrite thing to do... If you need advertisers there are normal services that can buy ads.

You can't fault OP for taking advantage of an offer provided by the forum. He did nothing wrong.

If MJ and staff want to sell ad space, guess what.. this is their forum and they can do whatever they want.

How does this thread negatively affect you in any way? How does it affect you at all? Trying to stir up garbage, have fun with that.

Selling ad space is good (I might buy ad here). But selling Warrior forum type shit in it is not cool when you preach 'real value'..

If calling out BS is garbage than yeah, I stir up garbage..

I received my 1000 followers on instagram when I woke up! every profile that followed me seems to have exactly only 5 photos however the profiles apart from this seem realistic enough with normal names! The profiles them selves seem to have followers and follow other accounts too.

So far so good. Past 2k

Some of the profiles are quite good and almost seem real.

Pro: Working quickly, realistic profiles.

Con: This is a big one.. all of the profiles are from Turkey.. 99% of them. I would have thought there'd be a mix.

It's not a huge problem for me because I'm just doing this for fun, but if you needed proper representation it would be weird for your business based in Boise to be liked by 10,000 Turkish people haha.

So far B+

Buying likes doesn't kill your reach and I'll tell you why.

It doesn't effect it at all as the likes are simple inactive, reach only matters when someone views the post, the bots don't view any of your posts so it doesn't effect the reach at all. I thought about this when creating the services and made sure that the bots never navigate to the news feed so your reach is unaffected.

As far as liking posts, you could just buy 1,000 followers and then buy 1,000 post likes everytime you wanted something to be liked.

I received exactly what I was promised.

This is nice because I am recently changing branding and my domain name to my website. This is a nice boost to my new social media presence.

Tyler was great! I know have 1,000 Followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Still waiting on YouTube, but I just checked with Tyler now on Skype and he said that that it is in the works. I am purchasing more right now for one of my other websites.

Thanks Tyler,
Martin

Yea, although Facebook is going to limit your reach whether you buy fans or not so it doesn't really matter.

Not for regular orders, if you're interested in making a larger order feel free to PM me to work something out.
Yeah, was referring to big orders. Discussing our plan with my partner right now, will message you soon. There's a lot of other people that offer this, but I rather buy from a fellow fastlaner :). We all gotta support each other.
