A large social media following is not just a vanity metric or social status; it’s an asset. If you have a lot of followers, others can pay you to promote products and services. Also, people will invite you to events, and every door will seem open. This is why many people will do anything to obtain this type of following – even buy social media bots and fake followers.

Now, this is never a good idea. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that bots and fake followers don’t pack the same punch as organic followers.

Learn how you can protect yourself from bots and fake followers on social media with these tips from Inspire To Thrive.

Lisa: Do you know how many attacks by fake followers and bots have you had during the years? Which platform is the most attacked place?

I don't know an actual number but I'd say Twitter back in the day and some from Facebook for sure Martin. You?
