A fair while ago I did a test on one of my affiliate Twitter accounts where I made the dumb decision to bulk buy a chunk of followers. The question on is it ethical and if it was the right thing to do is a more complicated question that does not have a perfect answer in a fast moving area such as Twitter.
This post is not about what services or platforms people use to buy or sell fans but more so about how you can identify if your social media consultant or agency is pulling the wool over your eyes and cutting corners to reach your follower targets.

David: I have used Just Unfollow once. I have to revisit it and go through the features.

David: Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment I can follow any more due to the follow limit. I am following 4388 users and I have 3970 followers. Do you know about any program that could go through the users I am following?

I have done the same mistake some times ago and I am not gonna make the same mistake again. I will rather stick to my real followers.

Ah yes it was a bit of a waste but sometimes you learn the most from your mistakes

David: I wouldn't buy Twitter followers. I have had a challenge for some time, I have reached the follow limit and can't follow new tweeps. Do you have a solution?

Ah the only option is to follow inactive accounts or start engaging with new accounts who might follow you back
