I’ve noticed that people are way more likely to follow someone if they already have a big audience. But getting to that point when you’re new feels almost impossible. How do you build that initial credibility so others take your content seriously?
You’re absolutely right — people are way more likely to follow someone who already looks established. That’s why social proof is so powerful on any platform. When I was starting out, my content was decent, but nobody wanted to be the “first” to interact. I solved that by using smm world to give my account some credibility right away. Boosting my likes, views, and followers made my profile look more legit, and suddenly people started engaging more naturally. It’s like a snowball effect — once you look credible, organic growth gets much easier. For me, it was the fastest way to break that “new account” barrier.
Really appreciate your detailed answer! I’ve noticed the same thing — people only engage when they see others already interacting. I’ve been searching for a way to build that initial credibility, so this is exactly what I needed. I’ll go ahead and try it out for my account.
