How to spot the fakes accounts

[Knipe]

I'm new to social media advertising and im trying to buy shoutouts for my new product but i can't find how to reliably spot the fake accounts with most bots as followers that will bring me no actual traffic?

check the followers, the likers, the commenters and the overall engagement rate.

Maybe you can consider hiring someone for social media marketing if you find it difficult. It saves a lot of time for you, so that, you can concentrate on other work.

Apart of the number of likes and comments, you should definitely check how genuine/sincere they are.. If there's a bunch of other big 'influencers' commenting 'this is great' and stuff like that it means they have the engagement to grow their pages but it won't bring you traffic.

posted recently
no default avatar
check the follower / following ratio
ignore if less than 50 or 100 followers

Those are the main ones, then you can get more complex to try and pick off the more advanced bots but it gets tricky and will flag many false positives

I'm pretty good at spotting fake bots accounts on Instagram. It's not very hard once you understand the basics. PM me

Why not list out the metrics you use and help everyone learn how to spot fakes?

You can also use HypeAuditor, it's a web-based service using AI. It helps you determine wether the account has fake followers or not, measure the ER...

It's a paid service but with fake emails you can get as many free reports as you want

I often see:
the frequency of posting/updates,
genuinity of the posts,
story updates,
how often they do shouts,
and what the products they usually shouts.

Oh wait, im just talking about Instagram only.. Idk about other platforms

You need a social media manager to handle your campaigns. First off, don't buy from anyone that states they sell/provide shoutouts. Real influencers don't advertise "selling shoutouts".

Social media managers, like myself, work with brands and influencers every day. We pretty much know who is a fake, and who is legit. We also have come up with formulas, and services, to discern, filter and contact the ones that more precisely fit with a brand's message.

I have bought followers before and it says my ER is 10.5%
but for few months my account would lose folowers and gain followers at the same rate so I guess it kinda traded the fake followers for real followers overtime.

If you are a experienced Social Media Advertiser. So you will never face issue to spot a fake profile as fake profile really don't look real.

Any one can see fake profile fake activities and activities tell everything about a profile.
