Many so-called influencers use inflated follower counts to attract advertisers. They use bots or buy followers and even engagements. These numbers may look impressive, but in reality, there will be no real conversions. There are also influencers who try to act as an expert when they are not. They have vested interest in the products they promote. Before you follow an influencer, conduct in-depth research to ensure their followers are real and their engagement is genuine.
