Buying FB fans, YT Views, twitter follower, etc

I've tried a couple of those Fiverr offers where people "recommend" your site to their fans, and others, where they offer to send tweets on your behalf, and, to put it politely, most of the results have been fairly disappointing.

I think there are two potential reasons:

a) The friends/Twitter followers need to be a good match for your site for this to work well.

And

b) Some people stuff their Twitter accounts full of promotional tweets, so they burn out their followers and people will stop responding... and that's what seems to have been the case with some of the Fiverr gigs I signed up for...

Then again, some of them do work...

I haven't tried the YouTube views yet -- gotta give this a shot...

yea, i agree, something about it is shady, and they are in russia! lol.

yes, i am working this very niche based strategy into a twitter package that i will post here if the results look good. So, buying likes or followers is fine IF the service tackles niche targeting rather than blasting your social media accounts with useless followers.

I think a better way to evaluate this is to decide if you wish to pay for followers or use a tool to quickly find those followers. Why pay $$$$ for a Buy followers or YouTube views service if you can buy a tool, one off fee, and conceivably learn to use that tool and do the job yourself.

Niche targeting is the way of course, whether blog posting or article marketing. Same for facebook. Twitter is mostly abused by its users, and then you find lots of moans complaining that Twitter does not work. I can tell you it does work, my adsense revenue really flourished through ensuring one action: tweeting useful content. And my traffic has improved on some blogs.

Also, the auto follow tools are not the problem, its the user again. You dont have to auto follow with those, like tweet adder and tweet attacks, just a couple i know of. If you choose tools rather than a service, just try and use it safely. Give value to your fellow tweepers.

Its how those tools are used to execute the strategy that matters, most tools are fine including the heavily abused tweet adder. But, if you use those tools to spam everyone, automate all your followers, expect nothing. I tend to use a variety of tools, mostly very useful apps, i never use just one tool. I would also expect that a service selling followers is doing the same. A good followers selling service should be adept at social media metrics, measuring reach and establishing what a market's interest group is seeking.

I received no increase in revenue for a period. Simple reason really, all my tweets were trying to convert to sales rather than informing or educating, and warming people into a buying mood. Its the same with the service mentioned at the top, ask them their strategy as if they also tweet for you (some do), how do they execute the tasks. (though that one looks scary, i'd run from it...always if contact details are poorly given).

Nothing wrong with buying followers, really, if you dont have the time. But choose a service that knows how to target verticals, and the potential customers attached to every vertical market. Ask them lots of questions - if they can be contacted.

How do you select followers? Any Fake accounts? Are bots used.. Then try one like the one mentioned or others; i am testing just the one which is buyafollower.

I am not bothering with affiliate links, heres some twitter, facebook and YouTube services for building followers and views (I am not advocating any of these as I cannot report any results to you yet): buyafollower, follo, feather adder, fan bullet, rushly.

That said, how many twitter accounts do you own? If just a few, use social oomph instead, its free, not much manual work at all. I would say if you cannot invest time in social media, and would rather not have to use any tools, then try a 'buy a follower' or 'buy likes' or 'buy YouTube views' service.
