Personally, I would only post a few times a day and never direct a post to affiliate programs. I guess some have more luck than others, albeit I was more interested whether these big accounts were generating much ’’real’’ interest. “ Reply With Quote “ No point in having 1 million followers if nobody is engaging , or even looking at what you’re posting.” #11 Vargoso 24 February 2018, 4:27 p.m. Private Member We think Twitter is a very good source of traffic with good conversions. But, follow-to-follow is not good enough! You need to post good content in order to have good followers. Again, it’s a matter of quality, not quantity. “ Reply With Quote #9 Renee 22 February 2018, 4:22 p.m. Sponsor Affiliate Program That was actually another point I wanted to make in my initial post. On Instagram, one of the reasons people buy followers is because the more followers you have, the more you’ll get. For some reason, psychologically, if someone has a lot of followers, people want to follow them. No point in having 1 million followers if nobody is engaging, or even looking at what you’re posting. “ Reply With Quote Originally Posted by Breakout Affiliates I feel like, in general, and on Instagram in particular, followers act as a kind of gravity. Initially, you gain followers for making quality posts on a regular schedule, and even if most of those aren’t active followers (i.e., they don’t like all your posts, or don’t even see all of them), they act as a gravity to other curious users who then also follow to see what the hype is. 43 #10 AussieDave 22 February 2018, 6:15 p.m. Public Member Successful people (in all walks of life) tend to draw a following. It would seem, this is essentially the motivation to purchasing social media “followers.” The more you have, the more popular (successful?) you appear to be. However, unlike in the real world, where accolades are earned by actually doing the hard work, it seems online, anyone with deep pockets can create the illusion that they’re accomplished. For example, how many casinos over the years have been trumped up as a BIG company, yet busted as being akin to Ma and Pa running the casino from their basement? Way too many! “ Reply With Quote Originally Posted by Renee For some reason, psychologically, if someone has a lot of followers, people want to follow them. W W W . G P W A T I M E S . O R G
