The idea itself is good, but how effective will it be for the blog? It's better to create several cool reels, which will help you get into the recommendations and attract followers organically.
You're right, Instagram doesn't allow direct advertising for gaining followers. However, you can attract new followers by promoting engaging content and using targeted ads that lead to your profile. Try creating captivating posts and stories, using hashtags, and collaborating with other influencers.
It's a cool idea, but Meta offers plenty of ways to advertise and get followers in the process. Create compelling content. The kind of content that you would like and want to see more of, and don't just post for the sake of promoting something.
Most purchased followers are either bots or inactive accounts, which don’t engage with your content. This can hurt your engagement rate and make your account look less credible. Instead, focus on growing your followers organically. Create quality content, use hashtags strategically, engage with your audience, and consider collaborations or shoutouts with accounts in your niche. Running Instagram ads can also help attract genuine followers interested in your content, even if there’s no direct “followers” campaign option.
