    No. It isn’t worth it. Since those metrics are bought, they’re not generating any legitimate engagement and when you stop paying, those numbers go away.

    The other thing that happens that is less discussed is this. The demographics of those paid numbers will make it impossible to analyze your metrics to find out who actually is following you and who engaging because it’s diluted with profiles and people only interested in being a number on your account because you’re paying them. That means analytics on your account are useless.

    Perhaps you need to more clearly defined and differentiate your account from the many others out there like yours.

    What actually is the purpose of your account? If you are trying to develop this for your personal satisfaction, if it engagement with people who love what you post, then engage with those people and develop relationships with them.

    If you were trying to sell a product, then you really need to differentiate your brand from every other person out there showing images like yours. Do you have a business plan? What is your marketing strategy? What is your financial goal?

    FYI- am a former social media marketing consultant. I built a Facebook Dog account to honor my dog and it has over 13,000 organic followers and my posts have reached as high as 2000 responses per post. How did I do it? I knew what my goal was and I knew how to differentiate my Dog page from a zillion other Dog pages. And I focused on quality engagement with each and every one of my followers. I made them feel welcomed and valued because they were.
