A large follower base increases your social media credibility, online appeal, and attracts more followers to your profile. However, in recent years, the rising numbers of ghost followers have concerned brands and marketers.<\/p>\n

If we go back a decade, building a follower base only required you to post a few images and updates now and then. But today, even gaining the attention of users requires you to consistently post engaging content that adds value. Also, there is an abundance of content related to any topic which makes it even more difficult to gain the attention of the user. While many still follow the approach of adding value with content, some simply take the short route to success. They buy followers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Why are Ghost Followers Bad for Your Twitter Account?” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The biggest drawback of having a large number of ghost followers for an account on any social media platform is the loss of credibility. People will start speculating about the authenticity of your followers.<\/p>\n

For Example: Let\u2019s say a use have over 10,000 followers, but only 300-500 followers actually like or comment on your posts. This will give users enough reason to doubt the authenticity of your follower base.<\/p>\n

This puts your profile at risk, a brand would have a hard time finding new followers. Users would either think that your content isn\u2019t engaging or you have bought fake followers.<\/p>\n

The biggest consequence of ghost followers, for any account, is the loss of credibility.<\/p>\n

For example, if an account has 20,000 followers, but only 20-50 likes per photo, users will easily spot the inconsistency in these two metrics.<\/p>\n
