Hey @Ashraf I started out doing this for my CC9 project and honestly I never considered there being a problem getting on Skype calls.
Having said that I've use images of myself so it's not like I'm pretending to look like someone else, just using a different name.
I'm not too sure of a level to be honest - when I had 30 genuine followers I wasn't getting followed by the big boys within my niche however when I bought the followers I started to attract them (mainly when they followed me back).
As the follower boost has coincided with more twitter activity...

+ CC9 Homework (2/3 tasks complete)
+ Forum accounts created
I really appreciate the support guys, it's great motivation.
I really like the fact I'm working full time along side the CC9 project; it's sort of focused me to get on with creating value rather than messing on imgur.
@Satvrn this is awesome - I'm currently downloading Photoshop and I'll make sure I look into getting the professional looking graphics sorted.
I was actually shocked by how many pages I'd produced and the standard isn't too bad either!
I'm in the same boat as you @Politico where I've bought Twitter followers to pump up the numbers although I plan on paying to promote the FB page once it's seeded with content.
I'm not sure how you've found the fake twitter followers to be so far but I've found them to be really helpful with...
Thanks @DeltaNine I'm lazy compared to some of the guys and girls taking part in the CC9. I just figure that some days I'm going to get a solid block of work in so I've gotta make hay while the sun shines!

Awesome overview @CCarter !
You're right, looking at the search data it does appear to be the tail end of a trend! However if we look at industry reports on spend/participation it's all on the up.
You hit the nail on the head when you brought up the audience. Building the brand and the...
