I Bought 10,000 TikTok Followers
Creating a successful social media presence is often seen as a daunting task. One method some people consider is buying followers to boost their numbers and, presumably, their reach. In this article, I explore whether buying 10,000 followers on TikTok can turn you into a famous DJ. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
The Experiment
I started with a brand new TikTok account named DJBC. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of my experiment:
Searching for Followers: I went on eBay and searched for TikTok followers.
Selecting and Purchasing: I selected an offer for 10,000 followers, costing £40.
Sending Profile Information: The seller required the link to my TikTok profile. I sent the required message with the profile link.
Waiting: The followers were added to my account shortly after.
The Upload and Results
Once the 10,000 followers were added, my next step was to upload a post to see if these new "followers" would engage with the content.
Uploading a Post: Using an old TikTok video, I uploaded it with the hashtags #fyp and #DJ.
Checking Engagement: After leaving the post overnight, I checked for engagement.
The results were revealing:
- Views: Only 26 views.
- Likes: Zero likes.
- Comments: No comments.
Despite having 10,000 followers, the post received minimal interaction. This indicates that purchased followers do not engage with content, as they are usually bots or inactive accounts.
Conclusion
Buying followers on TikTok doesn't help in becoming famous or boosting your engagement. TikTok's algorithm focuses on showing content to non-followers on the For You page. Therefore, having a high follower count but low engagement could actually harm your credibility.
My advice? Avoid buying followers and instead focus on creating quality content that engages your audience. For those looking to learn more about DJing and organic growth strategies, check out this video.
