rather than buying followers for credibility, try creating posts that show reviews or testimonials.
I don’t think most people expect a small business that sells handmade items to have a huge following. A low follower count wouldn’t discourage me from shopping from somewhere like that. Also, if you’re using IG shop, people can buy from the post when it comes up in their feed, so they might not even see your profile or look very carefully. You can convert with good content regardless of follower count.
how long have you been running the account? how often do you post?
