Reply To: Is it actually worth buying Instagram engagement?

As others said, no. buying engagement is basically just buying fake signals. it might make your page look alive at first, but it won’t trick the algorithm into pushing your posts further, Instagram tracks real retention and replays, not bot likes.

The risks i see:

* you waste money on numbers that don’t translate into reach or sales
* IG could flag your account
* even if you get away with it, new followers notice notice sometimes and that kills trust

What you can do is collab with small creators in your niche or run low-budget promo ads (but only once your posts are already somewhat working), at least then you’re pulling in real people who might stick.

Also I would recommend focusing on reels. Single-image posts almost never get reach anymore, but reels can still work well if the hook is strong. If you are new to reels, you can always try free video analysis tools (like creafico for example) to get recommendations on what to improve.

hope this helps 🙂
