How To Buy Real TikTok Followers Without Getting Scammed

Written by Ramsey Brown.

TikTok along with Instagram have become the most prominent social media networks of the last few years — for young people, old people, businesses, celebrities, influencers, and everyone in between. There are already millions of people around the world who use TikTok to share witty videos, promote or find new music, interact with their audiences, discover the latest trends, keep up with their favorite influencers or celebrities, take part in challenges, and so much more. TikTok is on track to become the main social network for young people with an astonishing 689 million global active users as of January 2021.

With the simple use of this app, users have access to a huge universe of information that seems to have no end. Although this platform has many great advantages, just like anything else it comes with disadvantages as well. As we know, social media can sometimes provide a false sense of reality and distort one's image and popularity. This often gives users the incessant need to increase the number of followers they have on platforms such as TikTok because they believe it will make them appear more favored in the public eye. 

Whether you're a TikTok user who wants to boost your followers to become an influencer or a musician on the platform who wants more followers to promote your music and gain exposure, the unfortunate truth is that the number of followers you have will have a large impact on achieving these things. 

But with that being said, having a large number of followers on TikTok isn’t always related to vanity or having bragging rights, or at least it shouldn’t be. Getting more followers is really about getting more engagement on your page — thus increasing the number of people who could potentially be interested in your music or service.

Unfortunately, social media sites like Instagram and TikTok have made it more difficult than ever to become noticed on their platforms. TikTok works through a series of complex algorithms that require its users to do or have a certain number of actions and figures to grow on the platform. Simply put, TikTok makes it difficult to grow and become noticed on the platform if you don’t have a decent amount of followers and videos posted already.

You could be the best musician in the world but if someone lands on your profile and sees that you have very little followers, it could regrettably turn them away from your page without ever listening to your music. Sometimes those who are misinformed will correlate your talent to the number of followers you have, which has no real validity and a terrible approach to social media. 

Some people could care less about a follower count, but for many artists trying to land a record deal or a major placement, the number of followers that appears on their public profile could greatly influence the outcome of this. Due to this unfair system, it has created the rise of people quite literally trying to beat the system — by buying their TikTok followers. 

Buying followers and likes on social media platforms such as TikTok is a very taboo subject within the industry. People want more followers in order to increase their overall engagement, but when your followers have been purchased, you are actually getting the exact opposite results. 

In this article, we are going to explain why buying TikTok followers is not as good of an idea as it may seem. We know that you came to this article to learn how to safely buy followers without getting scammed but the truth is, it just isn't possible. We are going to go over the cons of having and buying fake followers and then provide you with information on how to gain followers the legitimate way. 

If you are trying to build up your TikTok following and increase your engagement on the platform, continue reading for tips on how to do this the correct and honest way. 

There are many vendors who promise to sell you only ‘legitimate’ and ‘high-quality’ followers, some even guarantee this. However, you don’t actually know how these companies find these accounts or what their vetting process is before passing them along to you.  

These companies lead users to think that the followers they are purchasing are going to be people like you and I who follow them. However, these ‘followers’ are actually not real people at all. Most of these services will send you bot followers which are fake accounts that may have no profile picture, no posts of their own, and an absurd username containing random numbers and letters. These services claim to provide you with organic follower growth, which is a falsity seeing how the growth is being bought, not organically grown.

It isn’t hard to tell when someone has purchased their followers. As we mentioned, fake followers rarely ever engage with content, so when someone has 500,000 TikTok followers but only a couple hundred likes on a post, those numbers don’t match up and screams that the person's followers are fake.

Having fake or purchased followers is very much frowned upon and can cause people to think differently of you or your brand's legitimacy. Your current followers may see that your followers are fake and begin to question what else is fake about you. Unfortunately, that is just the thought process some have on social media. 

If you are wanting more followers in order to gain a position like an influencer or a brand rep for a company, just know that it is very easy for anyone to sniff out fake followers. If a company does find out you have dishonestly gained your followers, you will definitely be dropped from your position and could even black listed from other companies as well.

Yes, you read correctly — TikTok has the right to ban or even delete your account if they identify that you have bought your followers. This goes against the company’s Terms of Service policy and they actively discourage people from buying followers. 

TikTok’s moderators have gotten a lot smarter when it comes to finding fake accounts on their platform.  Most often they will purge any purchased or fake likes, comments, or followers —  but they also reserve the right to suspend accounts that are involved in this practice.

So if you have paid a third-party service for increased followers or likes, it’s very likely that TikTok will catch this and remove them from your account. Or even worse, remove your account from the platform all together.

TikTok is all about the trends and you can dramatically increase your TikTok followers by jumping on trends as they arise. Of course, just because something is trending doesn't mean you have to participate. Be discerning about the trends that you join in on to make sure that they're the trends your target audience is also participating in.

Again, tap into your current followers and see what type of trends and challenges they are participating in. This will give you a better idea of the type of content they are interested in and how you can formulate your next post according to their interests and activity.

Although everything has an influence, this may be one of the most important keys to gain followers on TikTok. Yes, it is important to be a part of the current trends on the platform, but one of the biggest mistakes that users tend to make is by only creating content that is similar to others. 

It’s important when trying to gain popularity on any social platform that we define our own style and come up with content that differentiates us from the rest. It’s crucial to create videos and topics that you are actually passionate about and you’re not just piggy-backing off of the current trends that others have created. 

When you are posting your own original content that you are passionate about such as singing, dancing, or whatever it may be, you will find that ideas will come much easier and your videos will be of much better quality. If you want to stand out on social media, you have to create content that stands out. Don’t try to blend in with the crowd, be originally you!

Something that we know attracts a lot of traffic on TikTok is the challenges. You may not like or want to participate in these challenges but without a doubt, this is one of the best ways to interact with your audience and have them interact back with you. This touches on the previous two points, following the current trends and participating in those, but also coming up with your own original trends as well. 

You may think a current challenge is silly, but if you see that your followers are actively participating, it may be a strategic decision for you to participate as well. With that said, keep in mind what your brand image is and keep your content in line with that. Don’t be afraid to try new things but don’t do something completely out of your wheelhouse just for the sake of popularity and views.
