Do you need followers on social media? I don’t think so, Here is why!

Nowadays, Social Media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, and so on are popular with the young generation. Every content creator, always thinking about growing up their followers on these social media platforms. But, the question is, Do you need followers on social media? In my personal experience, having thousands of followers on social media platforms is useless! although you didn’t focus on your content.

This is not about discussing whether having a good amount of Followers on social media is good or not, this is about why a large or small amount of followers doesn’t matter at all.

If you think follower is everything for each content creator to get posts viral, trust me that’s not true. and here is why I am saying that.

Why followers doesn’t matter?

Ever you think, that you are following many people or organizations on social media, But whenever you get notified about their latest post, as usual, most of the time you click on it and skip it or scroll it down suddenly. am I right?

The reason behind this is, that posted content is not worthy of you. In the past one of the best content or posts you found and started following to one’s social media account. That doesn’t mean you always watch their videos, read posts, or like their content.

For example, suppose a YouTube channel has 1 Million subscribers, but still, they didn’t get 1 million views on each video. why this is happening? because of content that does not relate to followers. and they skip to watching it. and that means having a good amount of followers doesn’t matter!

Why should you stop thinking about followers count?

An SEO Expert, Neil Patel said, ” I have 3.8 million followers and it’s useless”. You should stop focusing on your follower account”. Do you know why he said that words? here is the breakdown!

Do you ever think, about how social media platforms work? how did a man or any organization gain more popularity even if they started at zero? they also didn’t have followers at their early stage, so why are you thinking about your followers count?

How to get more views or likes on posts without followers?

Still question remains how to gain popularity without counting many followers? The single-word answer is ” Quality Content”. yes, you heard right!

Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and X have their algorithms to identify quality content. If you post high-quality, engaging content on these social media platforms, you will get more views and likes than your followers count even if, you have minimum followers or subscribers.

Because the algorithm of social media platforms would suggest yout high-quality engaging content to most people who don’t follow you. And most of them your post will be shared with others, and end of the result you will get more views and likes on your posts.

How does this happen?

This happens because social media platforms don’t care about your followers. Whether you have 1000 followers or 1 million followers! they measure your post’s engagement time, comments, likes, and how much time your posts are shared by people.

That’s why you should focus on producing high-quality content not followers count. and leave the rest of the work on these platforms.
