For those of you who are just about ready to embark on your first ever social media marketing campaign to elevate your recently erected business, this may be news. It certainly was for me, especially considering that I was, not by nature but through personal circumstances, something of a penny pincher. As a newly christened small business practitioner, my ambition was to get more and more people to buy into my services.
As in actually paying for the goods. I have to tell you; I wasn’t getting by on just three or four clients a month. Bless their souls, they’re decent folks. Being a penny pincher, I was initially quite horrified to discover that in order to start growing my business to its desired level, I’d actually have to start spending some of my own money myself. This is what experienced small to medium sized business practitioners may define as their capital expenses account.
And to think, this was never going to be a once-off expenditure. The first set of tools I had was hardly adequate. Not only did I have to invest in a decent laptop with printer and scanner on a sidearm attached to my desk, I also had to give serious consideration to purchasing a smart mobile device. This is no toy, let me tell you. It’s one of the best weapons to help launch your small business into the social media stratosphere.
And then I discovered one of the oldest tricks that leading and established business owners had been implementing for years. In order to get the business they wanted, they went into buying mode. Not quite a shopping spree, that was something their clients would be embarking on, but these exemplary business leaders bought friends. Whatever happened to making friends in the good old fashioned and honest to goodness decent way.
It turns out that buying your friends for the purposes of selling your wares is as old as the hills. Come hell or high water, this was what I was going to do then. But much to my relief, I soon learned that it wasn’t all bad and it certainly wasn’t expensive either. In the context of effective social media marketing and how to get the best out of my Instagram account, I learned that it’s a good idea to start buying Instagram followers.
They may not necessarily be your future customers, well, a majority of them anyway, but they could act as effective drawcards for many other curious onlookers. In social media-speak, these are what you would refer to as your genuine or real followers. They are active customers purchasing from your online warehouse of goods and services. And as for all those followers I initially bought, I have to say that they’ve turned out to be the best darn marketers for my humble little business.
Well then, I hope this personal account on why it’s good for business to buy friends has been inspiring for you.
