Do Follow Back is quite controversial in all social networks.

People are afraid to follow back. They are afraid of seeing their social networks blocked. They are afraid of losing credibility to their followers.

If you investigate you’ll get several people who approve, and or disapprove it

It’s a subject of much controversy on the internet.

And in fact, the problem isn’t in doing follow back. The problem is that people don’t know how to do follow back. And that’s why the platforms block their accounts.

In the end, the problem isn’t whether to do follow back or not, the problem is in doing it as it should.

In doing follow back so that you can increase your followers organically. In doing it without the need to spam people. In doing it in a pleasant way where the user feels comfortable with it.

How does the follow back work?

When you follow someone, by nature that person will review the account that is following him. He will see your account. And if he is interested, he will follow you back.

That’s what the follow back is about on. In making you see potential prospects.

Following back can change according to the style. There are people who start to follow other accounts. Others that like the photos of others. And others who comment on the publications of others.

There are even people who do all that at the same time.

And none of that is wrong. The bad thing is when you do it in an excessive way.

It’s wrong when you pay a Bot to do that for you. A Bot that only follows people like crazy and doesn’t analyze if those people are really interested on you.

Or worse, when you start to follow people who have nothing to do with what you do.

How many followers can I increase with following back?

In my experience:

Of every 100 people you follow, on average 10 will follow you back. That is, if you want 1000 people that follow you, you will have to follow 10k of people.

These numbers are approximate.

The number of followers you earn depends on the quality of your account. It will depend on the market niche. And it will depend on the platform on which you are.

If you thought that increasing your followers with following back is as fast as they say, it’s not like that. Even doing follow back, it takes time to gain followers.

The good follow back is like that.

If you do something else you will only gain false followers that don’t contribute anything. Followers that have nothing to do with your subject.

Which people should I follow?

Something I’ve talked about why you should know accounts similar to yours. Accounts that do the same as you. Accounts that will serve as a guide.

As a general rule, always have a document with the 10 accounts most similar to yours.

A document where you can see how it works in the market. A document that will let you know what is wrong in the market.

A document where you will observe the styles of your competition. Your audience And the frequency with which they publish content.

With only making that document you can discover even their brand strategy.

Once you have that document done.

One can do anything with it. However, at this time, we will use these accounts to steal their followers

The idea is to follow the people who follow those accounts.

They did the hard work of getting those followers, and our duty is only to steal them.

When shouldn’t I do follow back?

Like everything, there is an exact moment when doing follow back.

After a certain time, doing follow back is no longer a good idea.

If you are an influencer and you have 50k of followers. You won’t reach 100k doing follow back. If we maintain the proportion that every 10 people that you follow only one will give you follow back. We are talking about that you would have to follow 500k different accounts in order to reach 100k.

That’s impossible. From a certain point, doing follow back isn’t a good idea.

There comes a point where you’ll have to use other strategies to advance in social networks. Doing follow back only works when you’re starting.

Advice When You Do Follow back

You already understand the principles of the follow back. Now my duty is teaching you my secrets for doing a well follow back.

Don’t follow influencers

As a general rule, don’t follow people who have a certain status in social networks.

Gary Vee won’t follow you back.

If you start to follow a person with more than 5k, probably that person won’t follow you back. That person already has some status on the platform and doesn’t need to follow you back.

Always have more followers than followings

The idea is having the account as natural as possible.

If you have 3000 followers but you are following 5000 people, you will generate suspicions.

People will know that you follow them out of pure interest. That you follow them only to increase your followers.

Avoid spamming

Instagram lets you follow 100 people every hour. Medium allows you to follow 130 people a day.

If you do something more than that, you could be reported as spam

You may read elsewhere that you can follow more people in less time on each of the platforms. But it’s better to be safe than sorry. I don’t want you to write to me later crying that your account was blocked for spamming.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Be patient

Don’t be crazy. Sometimes the desire of more followers becomes so intense that you start to follow anyone.

Out of nowhere, you start to follow 1000 accounts of things that have nothing to do with your niche market.

And even though you will increase your followers. Those followers are nothing. They are followers who don’t care about your content and they won’t pay for your products.

My advice is to stay calm and follow the instructions😂😂😂😂😂😂

Your account should be appealing.

If your account doesn’t look good you will never increase your followers.

You can pay a good Bot. You can pay an influencer to tell you. You can pay someone to follow you manually. And still, none of that will work.

Understand it, if your account doesn’t look good, nobody will follow you back.

If you don’t have interesting articles in medium, nobody will follow you back.

If you don’t have good photos on Instagram, nobody will follow you back.

If you don’t have good tweets on twitter, nobody will follow you back.

It is always the same in all social networks. So focus on having an appealing account and then worry about doing these things.

What to do now?

Now that you know how to do follow back in the right way. And you also know the way I do follow back.

I am pleased to announce that I am currently offering to follow back services for medium.

For only 20 dollars I will do follow back on your medium account for a month.
