However, despite this disparity, Instagram users are far more engaged than on Facebook.

With so much money on the table, is unsurprising that fraud exists in the influencer marketing space. The first challenge the industry faces is pinning down real vs fake accounts; right now, a bulletproof strategy doesn’t exist. However, we’ve been able to spot 3 types of fraudulent activity when it comes to influencer marketing - fake followers, engagement and interests. 19Most Important Social Media Trends to Remember in 2019 | Social Media Statistics by SocialbakersSpotting Fake InfluencersThese mock charts were designed to demonstrate unusual and normal activity to help you spot the difference between a real and fake influencer. Here we can see that the top chart has a suspicious increase in follower growth, and normal interactions. If posting rates are the same, then this is unusual activity. Compare with the chart below which shows a positive correlation between the number of interactions and follower growth. Follower Growth vs. Interactions Unusual Growth and Decline Follower Growth vs. Interactions Usual Growth and Decline Follower GrowthNumber of InteractionsFollower GrowthNumber of Interactions“Our research has shown that brands can minimize the risk of working with influencers with fake followers by looking at two key data points - the influencer’s performance over a longer time period, like 6 months, and their engagement level per 1K fans. The former metric allows marketers to easily spot spikes of followers and performance that can highlight fake activity and the latter metric gives a clear insight into whether the influencer’s followers are actually engaging with the topics that resonate with the brand’s audience. In addition, benchmarking the performance of a few influencers over time can also greatly help to identify anomalies that are a result of fraud.”Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CEO, Socialbakers20Most Important Social Media Trends to Remember in 2019 | Social Media Statistics by Socialbakers“2018 was a wake up call for the social media platforms, for users and for marketers alike when it comes to privacy and security. Not only did brands acting in Europe have to conform to GDPR, but we also have seen Facebook, Twitter, and Google ramping up their efforts to increase transparency and clean up their platforms. From the roll-out of Instagram verification badges to the launch of a new View Ads tool, which provides a public list of all ads currently running on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, right through to Twitter deleting a huge volume of fake accounts, the platforms have been doubling down their efforts.These steps have all been very important when it comes to ensuring that users are having an authentic experience on the platforms. Users want to know that the content they see comes from credible, trustworthy sources and marketers want to know that they are investing their ad budgets in platforms that are free of digital pollution. 2018 for the social media platforms has been like 2002 was for Microsoft when they launched the now infamous Trustworthy Computing initiative, after it came under fire given repeated security issues with Windows. Security and privacy will undoubtedly be ongoing themes for the social media platforms moving forward.”Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CEO, SocialbakersPrivacy and Security21Most Important Social Media Trends to Remember in 2019 | Social Media Statistics by SocialbakersSocialbakers is the trusted social media management partner to thousands of enterprise brands and SMBs.
