5 kinds of fake supporters






Thanks for leaving comments recently, dear readers. Today I want to pull attention to fake supporters and followers.

Every author and artist who search for support in the virtual world will get some fake followers. It is not only about trolls and popularly called bots, it is about the nature of the person who follows your account.

How do they act?

If you have Instagram, the pattern is always the same.

The person follows you and waits for you to follow him. After you follow, he unfollows, to increase his number and decrease your number of followers. 

Another case:

The person follows your accounts and like many of your posts. Then, when you follow back, a follower hits you with the message: "Will you buy my book cover? Can I promote you to my followers, for hundred dollars?"



If I can make a group of fake followers, they would be categorized in next ways:

The pest. A follower who hits your inbox a few minutes after you add him. Usually, that is an invitation message to chat or to buy his stuff.

Desperate follower. That is the one who sends you flowers in your inbox, asking for attention. Or comment on your photo, ten times calling you beautiful.

An opportunist. This is a follower who wants to include you in their fitness program, to follow his YouTube and like his content, or to buy bitcoin. 

A pervert. Those are followers who sent dick pictures or naked body parts.

An illusionist. This is a follower who mixes reality and illusion. He is demanding, asking to like his photos and share his content, even if he knows you for 5 minutes.

Once a girl with Youtube videos followed me and hit me with a message to comment on her videos. I said her to stop with messages, and she called me rude. I blocked her to stop her invasion again.

You will ask me, what kind of followers do we need if those are fake?

Your following list should progress in the way that people show interest in your content. Then you will build your own community, based on a similar area. For example, if someone asks for a virtual romance, and you ask for a business deal, you should avoid such people.

Cooperation is necessary if you want success, but don't let people take advantage of you. In this collaboration, you will not be a servant. You are someone who is a partner.
