The Candid Creative Podcast Manda Worthington and Lys Lytle

This week on The Candid Creative Podcast, Manda and Lys are jumping into the discussion on buying Instagram followers. They both start the show by sharing their personal histories with buying followers and whether or not they would recommend it to someone today after their experiences. Manda and Lys talk about some of the misconceptions that having a high follower count can have when it comes to your business, and if the route that some take to get there is worth it in the end. They share what it means to have a high follower count with little to no engagement, and how collaborations can be much more impactful to growing a truly engaging audience. As the episode comes to a close, Lys talks about her new ad strategy that she is using to gain new followers daily on her Lys Prints page and what kind of results that she is currently seeing. If you have ever thought about buying Instagram followers or you are just curious about what can happen when you do so, then this episode is exactly what you need to hear!
