Why Should I Avoid Buying Instagram Followers and Focus on Organic Growth?

Buying Instagram followers may inflate your numbers, but it hurts your engagement rate, credibility, and violates Instagram’s Terms of Use.

Fake followers don’t interact, which lowers your engagement rate and reach. They also prevent you from accurately assessing campaign performance.

Instead, run contests with real incentives using Gleam’s Instagram Visit or Follow Actions to attract fans who truly care about your content.
