Is it possible to buy REAL facebook fans?

13 years ago

Getting loyal fans is another story, but you can get fans from around the world for maybe 12 cents each at micro task sites like mturk.com or microworkers.

A guy recently posted a video he made showing where to go on Fcebook to get a Fan Page short name without the 25 min fans.

I tried using Facebook PPC ads to get Likes for an app, using "How do you like" in the ad copy I got a pretty high like percentage, but the clicks were too pricey for me, I hear that with enough high CTR traffic, the CPC might have gone down to 1 digit.

Thanks

facebook advertising is basically "purchasing fans" - it can be effective for certain niches, the kind that people aren't embarrassed to be a fan of. Also if you can offer an incentive that can help.

No, it is not possible to pay people to really like you. If you had to pay them, they don't really like you. That's why you paid them.

I can prove this to be wrong. Quick, send me some money. I promise I'll like you...

I love this post - you hit the nail on the head!

Just like getting a girlfriend. If you pay them, they don't really love you. And yes, you can hire people to pretend to be your girlfriend on Facebook.

I'm looking to increase not just my number of fans, i also want quality fans who are actually interested in my website.

Thank you warriors!

They probably have facebook accounts with 5k friends on it and inviting them to the fanpage they're selling. Just my thought though!

Thanks

yes i was thinking it could be possible and organic by having real fan pages, and placing a link on that fan page to like.. but that would be a really slow process.

Thanks

Some people just like to have the numbers. That way when someone is generally interested they see that the page has 1,254 likes opposed to 43 likes.

Put it this way ... if they are REAL Facebook fans, they would just naturally like your page. I don't know of any REAL Facebook fans that hang a price tag on their wrist.

I don't think it can be made any clearer than Caliban and Suzannes comments but I'm sure, seeing as the OP wants to believe it's true, all the people that say they've had "results" will win the day and another mug spends his weekend money.

It's funny really, if the OP read a paid testimonial, it's scream BS but if you pay for someone to like you, somehow that will earn you money. Respectfully, the actions been taken, they've been paid to "like" you.....Now try and sell them something, because you'll have to pay them a heck of a lot if you already had to pay them to click a poxy "like" button. :rolleyes:

That's soooooo cooool. Nothing like getting your ego stroked. How much money have you made from them though?

Can someone just chime in and say how much money they make like this rather than how many "likes" you get because I'm interested in the cash it generates and with respect, I dont give a s*** how many likes you have.

  Yes you can do via small freelancer sites like microworkers etc. Second way in which you can get you established a page by you which have good fans from across the globe and you should always update that page, then it will convert into a great asset for your future projects. Though its an hard working process but its effective I have some page which have more than 10000 fans and my some mates have 50,000 plus. Otherwise you have to share page targeted pages and walls of users from which you need likes.

A few people have said roughly the same thing. Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't you each assuming that you'd be paying someone to be a fan, when more likely, you are paying someone to invite their fans to be your fans as well?

I have never bought fans, so this is just conjecture, but are there not people who build lists in a specific niche, and then invite their list to check out your page once you pay them?

I don't see much difference between that and a media buy, where you pay for clicks to your squeeze page from someone who has a website in your niche.

Why would clicks from a fanpage invite for another fanpage in the same niche as you be any less valid in terms of the people being actually interested in checking you out than clicks from a website to another site in the same niche? I get that maybe I'm overlooking something, so the question is more than rhetorical, although I suspect I'm right.

Thanks

Real friends, or fans, don't require you to pay them money.

The only exceptions are in movies...like Pretty Woman or Toy (Richard Prior). Where they pay them at the beginning, but then realize that they actually like each other. But you have to wonder if that initial exchange of money is always hanging over their head

Thanks

I've been reading articles in the social media field recently.

There is a trend among social media consultants to promise prospective customers their campaign will yield X number of Likes -- then once the contract's signed, the consultant goes to Fiverr or somewhere similar and just buys enough gigs to make that happen.

The social media campaign that produces REAL people who will like your page is vanishing -- because that requires work and money. The quickie consultants can underbid such a campaign every time.

Even for large product companies I wouldn't believe all the Likes were legitimately obtained. The Like count is for show.

I don't think so buying fans will be loyal and you should try to become popular and share some good information then your fans will be loyal with you.

  Hey Cybertrash..
  
  I don't think you can... if you do, they won't be loyal...
  
  .. If you are thinking what I'm thinking .. witch is to get your brand in front of a lot of people then use Twitter.
  
  You can buy followers at buy-followers org
  
  Good Luck!

I think this is easy enough to understand.

Use the Facebook advertising platform to advertise your fan page to those who have identified they are interested in the product, service, topic, etc.

Create an advertisement that says "Click LIKE if you love World of Warcraft" coupled with an image WoW gamers can associate with and target those who have identified that they like World of Wacraft and you'll probably get some fans.

REAL fans, those that are INTERESTED in what your fan page is about.

My fav way to "buy" fans is simply putting my page out there with FB ads. My most popular page started in April just by getting the word out through ads and it's grown to 200,000 (just hit that today!) So I think that ads can be helpful in the beginning to help people see that you're on Facebook so they have an opportunity to connect. I would recommend testing CPM and CPC though because some ads KILLED it with CPM ($.003 per click) and others the best was CPC ($.05 per click). So just test out some ads to get your fan base going. Then provide cool stuff on the page so they'll want to click the "Share" and "Like" buttons so you can stop advertising and just let it take off!

I think you should try Facebook ads for promoting your page. Target most potential people and filter your ads viewer accordingly. Hope you will get useful fans from your successful campaign through Facebook ads.
