HI lovelies,
Because my Instagram tips & tricks post was soooo popular (thanks for the love),
i decided to write an article about the perks of the amount of followers:
The -fake- side of Instagram.
How to recognise fake accounts? and why it is soo tempting to buy followers ?
Sadly also bloggers are a part of the “fake followers” group.
I’ve done some research, because i’m really interested how you can be so attached to Instagram.
And it’s quite impressive to see how the urge to get more followers works.
We all know the accounts with “10k” followers and with a few pictures with no comments or less likes.
Well, the active Instagrammer knows that there are more options to cover your real amount of followers.
Their are a lot of different apps that provide you the information to get more followers.
I’ve downloaded several of them (just for research ;)…) and i was surprised how many there are.
But they all working eventually the same!
The massive seduction is to try and try the app..till you see some results.
Well that’s just the whole point, you receive some followers when you pay. But when you actually received them, you lose them slightly.
And then you want more and more.
The game of addiction. Easy as pie!
How to recognise..
– Growth.
It depends on the time you want to spent on commenting and liking.
If the amount of followers increasing fast, you may be suspicious.
And without a feature (or like from a popular Instagrammer) ofcourse, a feature is perfect to receive followers in so little time.
– Decreasing
If the amount of followers really has increased, but in a couple of hours/days has decreased .
It’s possible that the followers you’ve bought, unfollowed you because they aren’t real.
And ofcourse you want them back, so no other choice than you need to activate the app/bot 😉 again!
Conclusion: not really satisfying and it can cost you a lot of money.
And besides that companies are also aware of these options…..
Do you want to read more -social media- tips&tricks.. just let me know…
Ik vind het kopen van volgers belachelijk. Ik heb zelfs bloggers gezien die deze apps aanraden.. Wat heb je aan fake volgers? Dan is er nog geen interactie op je profiel!? Goed artikel!
Dankjewel :).. Klopt helemaal. Ik vond het vooral schokkend inderdaad dat bloggers dit gebruiken en dan ook nog het gaan aanprijzen! Vandaar dit tegen artikel ;).. xx
Grappig ik wist niet dat ook bloggers dit deden. Ik begin er niet aan 😉

Hey Esmeralda,
I saw this post on IG and came to check it out. We’re new on IG and I noticed the large amounts of followers with 0 following pages and I figured that was the case but didn’t know about the growth and decrease part. Thank you for sharing this information. I personally would rather know I gained it on my own and see what post works and what doesn’t, even though we are all entitled to do as we like.
Keep up the great work on your blog!
Dear Karin,
First of all, thanks for stopping by :).
It’s really interesting to measure this issue. I was wondering how things works with following/followers.
Why does one account do it better than an other one, even tough they’ve got the same pictures.
Anyway maybe you need to read this post:
Instagram followers
To increase your amount of followers (in a ethical accepted way ;).. )
Love!
Goed artikel Esmeralda! Ik vind het ook zo falend als mensen volgers kopen, je kan meteen merken dat dat geen volgers zijn die volgen omdat ze je account zo leuk vinden. En tsja, is dat dan wat je wilt?
Klopt inderdaad!, bedankt voor jouw bericht. Maar toch weerhoudt het hen niet van om hiermee te stoppen en op eigen kracht verder te gaan.
Maar ag als wij er bewust van zijn, dan hoef je het ook niet serieus te nemen ;). Xx
Nou ik schok hier ook echt van hoeveel mensen dit doen! Ik heb zelf ook één keer zo een mail gehad voor die onzin! Ik heb liever echte volgers 🙂
Hoi Gina, inderdaad dat had ik nog geen eens benoemd… de mailtjes! dan is het wel heel makkelijk allemaal ;). x
