NO NEED for KAVYAR CREDITS

*** PLEASE supply Whatsapp / Signal Number - so we can send proofs and get approval - SAVES a LOT of Heartache!

PS - our Social Score is low - because :
1 - Our account is PRIVATE MOST of the time (to avoid models being harassed by stalkers / fakes / irrelevant acct's etc)
2 - We do NOT buy followers, We do NOT buy likes!
3 - Typical times when KAVYAR polls Social Media - it is on Private so it is not visible to be polled!
3 - Over 400 accounts have been blocked already - if they have appeared to be spammy, unrelated, fakeISH, private etc we block!
4 - We believe in QUALITY FOLLOWERS & QUALITY LIKES over quantity!

How to spot BOUGHT Follower/ Likes Instagram accounts (these will then will purchase likes for posts to increase their ER (Engagement Ratios as they have bought followers that rarely engage) – use http://HypeAuditor.com/preview/PutInstagramHandleHereFirst/ – e.g. http://HypeAuditor.com/preview/KromeMagazine/ – Requires a minimum of 1,000 followers before it will work – Check out our instagram account to see the highs and lows of a 100% Organic Instagram Account!

A number of Magazines appear to be employing this technique of bought followers and then bought likes (to compensate for their inactive bought followers) to entice submissions under false pretences of greater audiences and engagement and this is very disappointing to see.
