How to Prevent Your Brand From Getting Affected by Fake Followers on Social Media

Written by Neil Patel on April 24, 2016
fake people
Social media platforms take your security and privacy seriously. That’s why they try to combat the spammy accounts by releasing features, like the recently launchedimpersonation feature by Facebook for reporting a duplicate account.
But, their algorithms still aren’t smart enough. Some fake social media accounts remain hard to spot. Like, the persona profiles created by businesses. Look at the stats below.
  • As per Facebook’s 2014 stats, 5.5% to 11% of its users are fake. This includes duplicate, misclassified and undesirable accounts.
  • Similarly, Twitter’s 2013 IPO filings reveal that the company expects 10 million accounts to be fake (came to around 5% at that time).
  • Even the “king of social media” Bernie Sanders has 11% fake followers in his roll of 820,000 for his presidential candidate account.
These fake accounts mean a higher operational cost and lower growth for the social media platforms.
But, do these “make money” and “diet pills” promoting accounts hamper your business?
Sadly, yes…
Whether accidental or purchased intentionally, inflated social media numbers crumble your brand’s online presence. Let’s look at ‘why’ such fake social proof harms your business. 

Why are fake followers bad news for businesses?

If you attracted fake profiles to follow you (without even realizing it), then it isn’t your responsibility to weed them out.
image09
Right?
Nope.
Fake followers won’t interact with your brand’s social media posts. So, they cause lower engagement, lower rankings in the news feeds and lower conversions for your brand.
Worse, in a paid Facebook marketing case study by Veritasium, fake profiles were found to act like a human, in order to avoid getting banned by Facebook.
This meant that these profiles were run by clickfarms in the developing world. And, they would like every advertisement that appeared in their news feed in an effort to appear legitimate.
image01
Watch the video below to understand how fake profiles lead to burning your precious dollars while performing paid social campaigns.
Fake social media fans will tarnish your brand, clutter your following and damage your credibility. So, do the hard work to build a genuine social media presence and prevent yourself from a possible Facebook/Twitter penalty.
Here are the 4 essential steps that you can take to prevent your business from attracting fake social profiles.

Step #1: Evaluate the current performance of your social media accounts

A small proportion of your social media followers are fake.  As we saw, even presidential candidates have many of them).
But, how do you find out if you’ve stacked up a significant amount of fake ones that are hampering your business?
One indication is that fake profiles won’t belong to your target demographic. Hence, you can expect a lower number of comments and likes on your post. Indeed, you can forget interaction with your brand because 43% of fake Facebook profiles haven’t even updated their statuses.
But, what does lower social media interaction equate to?
If you see limited interaction and engagement initially (after the post gets distributed to the fake accounts), then the reach of your post is limited.
For example, the Facebook news feed algorithm serves content in its users’ feeds based on interaction received from the first few fans it serves.
image19
Instagram recently announced that it’ll follow a similar algorithm.
Even real-time microblogging platform, Twitter, recently announced a new feature for showing you the best tweets first.
image25
Ultimately, the poor reach as a result of fake accounts will lead to lower traffic and revenue from social media.
It’s tricky to pin down, because a good reach is subjective to your social media platform, your following’s size and your industry.
As an example, look at this Locowise breakdown of the organic reach of Facebook pages based on the number of likes.
image07
image11
A good benchmark that you can use is the engagement your competitors are getting, based on their content diversity and quality.
I would recommend that you to pick up social media analytics tools from this articleand strategies I shared here to better evaluate your performance.

Step #2: Audit your suspicious social media accounts for fake followers

So, you found low engagement on one of your social media accounts?
You’ve probably collected thousands of fake followers.
Maybe more.
Weeding them out is challenging, but it’s worth the effort to lift your performance.
Start by scanning your social media account with a relevant tool/strategy from the ones below.
1. Fakers App for fake Twitter followers – Enter your Twitter handle and authorize the app to access your Twitter profile to generate your followers report.
You’ll get a breakdown of your followers in these 3 categories – fake, inactive and good.
image21
You can also check a competitor’s Twitter following for a better understanding of your performance.
The free tool will allow you to scan up to 8 accounts. It will also give you a few stats on your following – like the language that they speak, the number of people they follow and their activity in the past few days.
image02
You can also upgrade to their premium service to add the feature that allows you to manually blocking the fake accounts or auto-block them. And, you can even track your competitors.
You can also use Social Baker’s free tool for Twitter followers analysis – Fakefollowers(their margin of error is 10-15%).
It analyzes a random sample of 100 followers from your profile to give you a percentage breakdown of suspicious accounts.
image00
It also gives you an option to block the identified spam accounts.
image18
2. IGExorcist for Instagram – The tool works by comparing the engagement of your Instagram followers against the accounts you follow over the last 300 days.
Get started by logging on to the IGExorcist website and granting access so the tool can scan your Instagram account.
image15
Within a few minutes, you’ll get a list of your inactive followers. They are the accounts that you aren’t following back and they haven’t commented/liked your photos in the past 300 days.
You can choose to delete all of the inactive followers in bulk (at the rate of 2-3 seconds per user).
image18
But, I would suggest that you to at least perform a quick scan before removing a user. The reason is that the app doesn’t acknowledge the time that a user has been following you. So, a recent follower who hasn’t yet interacted with your posts will show as inactive.
image03
3. Find your fake Facebook fans with graph search – There isn’t an automated tool to simplify the process of finding fake accounts on Facebook.
If you have under a few thousand fans, then the friends/fans icon at the top of your page is a good place to start.
image06
You can remove the doubtful profiles with a single click, using the ‘Remove’ button from the gear.
image27
If you’ve crossed 500 fans, it’s cumbersome to look at all profiles manually. An easier way to find your fake profiles is via graph search.
Here are 2 stats on fake Facebook profiles to help you identify them.
  • 97% of fake Facebook profiles claim to be females (as per a Barracuda Labs).
  • Fake profiles are rampant in India, Bangladesh, Chile, Brazil, Pakistan and Philippines.
Find your fans from these countries by doing a graph search.
How?
You can hire a freelancer to filter your fans from demographics that you aren’t targeting.
image12
Or, even combine various search queries (like interests, other pages liked, location of your fans and more).
4. Spot your fake LinkedIn connections manually – Similar to Facebook, you’ll need tomanually find out your fake connections on the professional social network.
Here are 2 pointers to help you spot fake LinkedIn profiles.
  • You’ll usually get LinkedIn connection requests from fake profiles out of the blue. And, the profile won’t have endorsements combined with a lower number of connections.
  • They will either not have a picture or they’ll often use a stock photo as their profile picture. You can use a reverse image lookup tool, like TinEye (or even Google’s reverse image search), to uncover if the picture is present elsewhere on the internet.
image24
Once you’ve recognized and collected a list of your fake followers on your suspicious fake accounts, you can to move to the next step.

Step #3: Report the fake accounts. If you receive no response from the social media platform, then ban them.

The easiest way to remove your fake fans is by reporting their accounts.
Let’s start with Facebook.
Click on the arrow on the upper-right corner of the profile and click on “Report User”.
image26
Similarly, on Twitter, you can visit the spam profile and tap the gear icon to report a spam profile.
image22
On Instagram, you can head over to a profile and “Report Inappropriate”.
image04
And, here are the 6 steps that you need to take to report fake profiles on LinkedIn.
image16
Again, you can hire a freelancer to manually find and report fake social profiles.
Since there are tons of such spam requests raised everyday from users, the social media platforms usually take time to respond. That’s why you can choose to take the next step…
Ban the fake profiles.
The tools I shared in step two will help you in banning fake profiles from Twitter and Instagram. Blocking a fake connection on LinkedIn is similar to reporting them. The limitation is that you can only block a maximum of 50 users.
image23
Here’s how you can restrict and ban your fans on Facebook.
1. If your clientele is local, then you can restrict your page’s visibility on Facebook.
Head over to Page Settings >> Country Restrictions.
List the countries where you don’t want to show your page and click on the “Save Changes” button.
image05
2. If you can dabble with HTML, then follow step #3 in this article for banning your fake fans.
image08

Step #4: Double check the new followers that you attract from conducting giveaways and advertising

For businesses, overnight success equates to seeing a hockey stick in the analytics dashboard. That’s why you conduct contests and produce a (hopefully) viral video to achieve rapid growth.
While giving away gifts is a great strategy to get a massive following in a short period of time, it also presents a huge challenge:
You risk attracting an audience that is interested only in the material gain, rather than your brand’s products.
That means that you should only give away products that genuinely interest potential customers, rather than giving away vacations and iPhones that interest everyone.
The right prize will mean attracting fewer entrants, but they will be your potential customers. Let me give you two great giveaway and advertising examples, for attracting the right audience.
1. Marina launched a fashion blog and conducted a $300 beauty giveaway on Facebook to attract new fans. They got 17,800 subscribers in just 6 weeks!
image17
2. You can also offer a free sample of your product as a prize, like NatureBox.
image13
Besides the prizes, you can ensure that you attract a relevant audience by using the sophisticated targeting options while advertising on social media. Take a look at thegranular targeting options you get on Facebook.
image14
Pro Tip: Use third-party apps, like AgoraPulse, for conducting these contests. It requires that the user install the app and register to participate. The raised barrier of entry dramatically increases the odds that you’ll only get genuine fans.
image20
Such apps even offer to identify and ban cheaters, by detecting their IP Addresses.
image10

Conclusion

Consumers strive for authenticity. Fake social proof only makes for a good first impression, but it negatively impacts your engagement and brand image. And, it can lead to a penalty by the social media platform.
So, start by checking one social media account, using a tool or strategy that I shared in the article. And, consistently monitor your incoming fans from advertising and giveaways.
I want to hear from you. Have you analyzed your social media profiles and found a significant portion of fake followers and how did it affect your engagement? Do you know any other strategies to weed out fake social profiles from your following?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.

P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 

many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
