Are you asking yourself “Does buying Facebook likes really work?”. If so it is a common question. One that a lot of people are asking themselves.  Watch the video above and I will answer the question Does buying Facebook likes really work?  You see I actually went out and bought Facebook likes just like you are probably thinking of doing.  I bought 1,000 likes off Fiverr.com.  Let’s see how it worked out for me.  Like always if you can not watch the video about “Does buying Facebook likes really work? ” then I will put the main points below.

Does buying Facebook likes really work?   The Truth

When I first got started with Social Media marketing I just did not know what I was doing.  Buying 1,000 likes off Facebook seemed like a quick way to get things started.

Here is what I thought would happen when I bought my 1,000 Facebook likes:

I thought I would get 1,000 new Facebook likes (which I did).  Then I thought I would post stuff to my Facebook page and some of those people would see it.  If I got good results with the 1,000 likes I bought I would just buy more.  Before long my Facebook page would have 100,000 likes (for only $500).  I would be well on my way with Facebook.

Here is what really happened:

I paid my $5.  The next day I had 1,057 new likes.  Wow I thought.  I even got 57 extra likes.  So I posted an ad to my Facebook page.  Out of 1,057 likes about 40 people saw my post.  Nobody clicked on the link.

Then I did more posts.  What I saw was that each post went to less and less people.  Eventually my posts were only being seen by 3 or 4 people out of 1,057 likes.

Here is what I learned about buying Facebook likes:

When you buy Facebook likes off sites like Fiverr.com I think we all know they are not legitimate likes.  What I found out is my likes came from people in Pakistan and Turkey.  They probably could barely read English.  They didn’t engage with any of my posts.

Facebook saw that none of these people were interested in anything I had to say.  So the Facebook Edgerank algorithm stopped showing my post.  To make matters worse buying Facebook likes is like pouring cancer all over your Facebook page.  No matter what I did these 1,057 people were never going to like, comment, or share anything I posted to the page.  The page had NO HOPE of ever getting any engagement.  Or doing much else for that matter.

I had no choice but to shut the page down.  It was doomed right from the beginning.

So if you are asking yourself “Does buying Facebook likes really work?” then look at my experience.  You will get the same results I promise.  Buying Facebook likes does not work.  The only benefit you will get from it the vanity metric of having a bunch of likes.  If that’s all you want from Facebook then go for it.  Just don’t expect your posts to anywhere ever with the audience.
