Granted that there are people who are basically addicts of social media and they are always online. Be sure though that these people are very few; this especially holds true if you are one person who is looking to enjoy a  good number of free likes and free followers. These people will not be able to get you all the likes and followers that you want. They should thus not form your main target audience. You might be wondering why this is so.

It is very simple. A large number of people in the world who use social media are usually occupied during the day. Most are in school, others are working, and others are running businesses and so and so forth. This then simply means that they do not have the idle time to be on social media the whole day. It is then important that you know the perfect time to post your content to capture their interest. If you post your content in the middle of the day when everyone is busy, most people will not see it and when they finally get to see it a few hours later, it will have already lost its ump! Research has actually shown that the perfect time to post content on social media is between 5pm and 2am.

There are people who love marketing, and they have thousands of free flowers because of their job. However, you don’t have to get paid by a brand to mention it on your social media accounts. And you also don’t have to stroll famous people or big brands in order to become famous on social networks. Actually,  attracting more followers could be as simple as complimenting or thanking your local businesses for giving great services.

You want to boost your social media following? Stop buying Followers

Honestly, everyone on social media wants their following to increase day by day. Actually, thousands of twitter followers check their accounts every week just to see if their following increased. However, buying free followers on instagram for instance is not the best way to boost your social media following. To start with, not all numbers are important. Yes, it feels good to command a following of over 100,000 people on twitter, but what about the fact that most followers for sale are bots? They can’t tweet; they have zero followers and are never interested in what you share.

On the other hand, most services that sell these likes and followers are scams. While they may deliver the number of followers you had agreed upon, sometimes they take them back after some while. At other times, the same companies will ask for access to your account and then consistently send spam messages to all your followers, including the genuine followers. And boy do we have to speak about the risk you get yourself into in terms of losing integrity and reputation?
