I just had a very interesting sales call and before I got on it I felt like something was off… not sure what it was but I felt like it was going to be a scam or something.
ANDDD it was. This lovely person (and they were super nice) has a business where you purchase followers, likes, and comments and a bot will follow and unfollow other accounts.
They told me that I would be the perfect content creator and an affiliate for this and my account has a lot of potential for grow.. UMM FAKE GROWTH?
I stopped him in his tracks to tell them that this goes against my ethics and business values. AND it’s what I teach my clients NOT TO DO.
They then said but if I had 20K more followers, maybe more people would want to work with me. AGIN WHAT PEOPLE? They wont be there. Because they are FAKE!
I said sorry (not sorry) but I am not the right fit for this.
I told them I have clients with less than a 1000 followers that have incredibly successful businesses and I don’t believe in vanity metrics.
I get it, people want followers and growth. Part of the ego death I had on NYE (fun times btw, having an ego at midnight on new year |
