Buying and Selling Online Followers: A Fast Growing Business

Different packages are being offered, depending on the quantity of followers that one required. In an instance, a company needing 100,000 Facebook likes would cost almost $6,800, only $1,200 is charged to 100,000 YouTube views, while Twitter followers would cost $3,500 for 100,000.

Media critics and social network experts may have the belief that it’s not worth the price since it’s often not valuable, but it appears that globally it’s a fast growing business earning more than $45,000,000 annually.
