Influencer marketing is a part of digital marketing, and it becomes an issue when an influencer or a celebrity attracts brands based on the number of social media followers or by the number of their fan base. In such cases, the revenues need to be paid to the influencer. Fake following is big business and generates millions of dollars every year. In some instances, the celebs are not even aware of the fake followers as these followers are purchased by their agents. The suspicious followings in social media accounts can be tracked. For instance, on Facebook, if you see a sudden increase in the posts, then most probably, the celebs have purchased the fans.
