How to Spot Fake Followers on Instagram

Influencer marketing is highly undervalued, and brands are beginning to discover this quite quickly. The influencer marketing space is on pace to be a $15 billion industry by 2022, and it shows no signs of slowing down. With the rapid growth of the industry, fraudulent behaviour such as purchasing mass followers and bots has become all too common. Many so-called influencers have joined this trend in hopes of deceiving brands into sponsorships when in-fact, their audience is predominantly fake. This ultimately results in brands losing significant amounts of money on campaigns that produce no results.

The value of an influencer is typically based on the number of followers that engage with their content (engagement rate) as well as the number of followers they can reach through their posts (audience reachability). The higher an influencers engagement rate and audience reachability, the more they are typically paid to promote sponsored content. With so many influencers cheating the system. Brands need a way to verify the authenticity of an influencer’s audience before partnering with them.
