Buying followers, likes or using bots are strategies that may lead you to permanent banning, so I refrain from making use of these techniques to promote on social media.
The hype of social media back in 2008, made me signup at countless social networking sites, making tiresome and nearly impossible to update all of them.
Today, I have narrowed them the number of social media sites, limiting to post on Facebook and Twitter, but since Facebook is of little value to me for its low ratio of response, I mainly focus on Twitter, site at which I have succeeded running social media campaigns.
Now, to get followers and likes all my efforts are put on promoting my website; this source is from I get followers and likes from.
