Followers

I order Social Network Support Services alot. Including support in getting Followers. The big question that everyone asks is...Are they "Real"?. The single most asked question because it is the most important to many of us. But something else goes on as well. Complaints about newly acquired Followers quickly leaving. We all know Facebook, Twitter, etc. often "scrub" Followers. When Followers start disappearing quickly, it's upsetting and raises flags. But I think those of us who order these Services create much of the problem.

If a Provider sends REAL Followers, we all know the best way for that to happen. They use various Social Media, MailLists, etc. and just advertise our Social Media accounts to get users to take a look and "Follow". But when those new Fans start dropping off, Customers, like myself, begin complaining. It seems to me, this pressures the providers to cut corners, send Followers who may not be real, anything to make them "Stick".

In my opinion, it is my job to hold on to those new Followers once a Service Provider has gotten them to "Follow" me on Twitter, Facebook, wherever. If I'm losing lots of Followers, as often as not, it's an indication that I didn't keep them interested. So they left. I'm writing this to say to those like myself who Purchase these Services that we create more problems for ourselves by backing Providers into a corner with unrealistic expectations. And to the Providers, don't let we Customers push you into providing us bad service just to shut us up. Keep sending quality Followers over and leave it to us to be interesting enough to convince those Followers to stick around and be active.

Thanks.
