Mistake 1: Ordering 10,000 followers on a 200-follower account. Disproportionate spikes are the #1 red flag for platform algorithms. Keep boosts under 20% of your existing follower count per week.
Mistake 2: Buying the cheapest service available. "0.50 GHS per 1000 followers" looks great until they all drop in 48 hours. Pay for high-quality services with a refill guarantee.
Mistake 3: Sending a private profile link. Engagement orders can't process on private accounts. Switch to public, place the order, then switch back after completion.
Mistake 4: Ordering likes before the post is live. Always post first, wait 2 minutes for the platform to fully index the URL, then order. Otherwise the order will fail.
Mistake 5: Putting everything on one service. Diversify — a healthy account has organic mix of followers, likes, views, comments, and saves. Buying only one signal looks unnatural.
Used correctly, paid engagement is just another marketing channel. Used carelessly, it's a fast way to get your account flagged.
