We started testing paid ads on LinkedIn and Facebook. We spent about $500/month to test. Just to clarify, this was to find customers for our product/service, not to acquire followers. Growing social media followers was only through making posts on LinkedIn. I started by accepting every connection I received. In month 5 I switch the default "Connect" button in my profile to follow because I was at 20,000 connections. LinkedIn has a max of 30K connections.
