10 ways to grow your Instagram followers...

🍓 Reader, tomorrow is Strawberry Shortcake Day... Wherever you live, I hope you get yourself a slice!

This newsletter is brought to you by the Crypto Business Conference.

In today’s edition:


Should you buy Instagram followers? In theory, paying for likes could boost your audience numbers quickly. But there are countless downsides. Here are just a few:

  1. It goes against IG Community Guidelines. 

  2. The accounts of purchased followers don't have a genuine interest in your business. So, they won’t engage with your content. That means your engagement rate won’t align with your account size, and anyone interested in working with you—investors, influencers, or other businesses in your niche—won’t partner with you based on your account size alone. Most also check engagement rates and audience quality, among other things. The abnormally low engagement rates make it easy to spot when an account has fake followers.

  3. Purchased followers won’t buy from you and won’t help you achieve your business goals.

Buying followers doesn't give you a way to build your customer list or generate revenue.

Instead, you need genuine followers who enter your sales funnel, buy from your business, and become loyal customers.

To find 10 ways to attract engaged IG followers who will buy from your business, read the full article.
