Best followers tracking software

Hey guys, is there a way to keep track of all the new followers we're getting on our socials and categorize them by demographics? Since we're getting a good number of followers every month, I was wondering if there's a way to identify if they are good followers, or just bots. I could do it manually, but that would take me forever. I'm mostly looking for Instagram/Facebook, Do you have any suggestion or any tips?

P.S: I do check the Meta Insights, but I think they are so limited in my opinion.

Thank you

Hootsuite and Sprout Social both offer follower analytics that break down demographics and engagement. For bot detection, look for abnormal follower spikes with low interaction rates, but no tool is perfect. Those platforms at least give you better data than native Insights.

Any people that runs 100 to 10k followers pages (any social media)?

Hey all, I own a business that involves many clients that promote their product, art or website with TikTok (also Instagram, Youtube and Facebook). I want to offer them a way to post their content, or to get content created and posted for them on existing TikTok pages. Basically you got pages in a specific theme (sport, anime, cinema, culture, memes...) and you rent it for a specific period of time. You get paid every month, and all you have to do is basically connecting the account once to our system. You can opt-out anytime you want, you keep the full ownership of the account. That's basically a way to monetize your pages passively. For now I'm doing it myself with my own pages (3 tiktok pages with 500 to 3k followers, and 1 6k subscribers Youtube channel), I made around $800 renting these for less than a month. If someone is interested, please comment or DM!

Everything dying at 300 views for so long before I finally caught the problem

I've been absolutely obsessed with short form content for the last two years. Like people have staged actual interventions about my health level of obsessed. I'm talking 11-14 hour days breaking down what separates successful videos from failures, experimenting with different hook variations, rewriting scripts until my brain hurts, testing every editing approach I could possibly get my hands on. Why this level of obsession? Because I'm absolutely certain short form video is the backbone of everything right now. Growing followers, selling anything, generating opportunities, creating brands from nothing. Every part of it depends on whether you can hold someone's attention for 30 seconds. But here's what nearly made me quit entirely: despite the constant daily grind, nothing was hitting. I'd pour 7-8 hours into crafting one video only to watch it crash at 300 views. Tried every tactic from every person claiming to have figured it out. Bought their courses. Applied their "proven" methods. Still going nowhere. I seriously started thinking maybe I'm just not the type of person who can make this work. Like maybe there's some fundamental ability I'm completely lacking. Then something clicked. I'm grinding constantly, but I'm operating completely blind. I don't actually know what's broken. I'm essentially just trying random things hoping something eventually works. So I stopped hunting for some mythical viral code and started analyzing actual data. Analyzed my last 50 videos second by second, documented every retention drop, and discovered 5 consistent patterns that were systematically killing my performance: 1. **Vague mysterious hooks are totally invisible** "This will transform you..." gets scrolled past every time. But "I used resistance bands for 55 days and my shoulder mobility actually decreased" stops people mid scroll. Specific concrete details destroy vague teasing without exception. 2. **Seconds 5-7 are where everything gets decided** Most viewers leave between 4-7 seconds if you haven't proven it's worth watching. I was creating slow buildups like a complete amateur. Now my strongest visual or most compelling number arrives exactly at second 5. That's where the hook that genuinely holds people. 3. **Any gap beyond 1 second absolutely kills your retention** Tracked this obsessively, anything past 1.2 seconds makes people think the video stopped. What feels like natural comfortable pacing to you reads as complete dead time to someone scrolling. Cut significantly tighter than feels normal. 4. **Visual variety is absolutely critical** If nothing changes on screen for more than 3 seconds, attention vanishes without warning. I started constantly rotating camera angles, cutting to b-roll, moving text placement, literally anything to maintain constant visual movement. Went from losing 50% at the halfway mark to keeping 70%. 5. **Rewatch rate is dramatically more important than most people realize** Videos people watch more than once get pushed exponentially harder by the algorithm. Started planting subtle details that aren't obvious first viewing, editing faster, adding elements worth discovering on rewatch. Rewatch percentage jumped from 8% to 31% and reach went completely through the roof. Honestly the biggest shift was abandoning all guesswork and actually measuring what was happening at every second. Came across this one app that goes way beyond showing where people drop off, it literally tells you why and exactly how to correct it. That's when everything transformed. Went from averaging 300 views to hitting 18k in about 4 weeks. Regular analytics show you people are leaving. This one shows the exact second, the actual reason, and what to adjust before your next post. If you're uploading consistently but stuck below 1k views, your content isn't the problem. You just don't know what's genuinely working versus what you assume is working. Listen, I'm sharing this because breaking through was honestly one of the hardest things I've tackled. I really wish someone had just explained exactly what needed fixing when I was stuck there. Would have saved months of confusion and doubt. So that's what I'm doing now for anyone who needs it.

Benifits of not using smartphone

I am(21M) we are 4 members in my family my younger sister and my parents . My mom runs a small shop and my father too. We all have smartphones except my mom. Over 5 years we are using phones. But my don't have a smartphone or any phone she doesn't even know how to use it. At the night when father comes home and she too then she watch some serial in phone. I noticed she is more happier than 3 of us. She is extremely focused on her work and doesn't complain for anything and handle all the situation very wisely. She knows the real world and not influenced by the fake social media world.

An account can already be un-recommendable when you take it over, and the client will think you did that

this is the one that costs money and nobody checks it at handover instagram can stop showing an account to people who dont follow it without issuing a strike, without a notification, and while the account status screen still looks completely clean. if that already happened before you signed, everything you publish in month one underperforms, and the only story you have is that the algorithm changed. which is the exact sentence every bad contractor says. you cant prove it wasnt you because you have no before trial reels are the cheapest way to get a before. a trial goes to non followers only, so what it does is mostly a statement about whether the account can reach strangers at all, separate from whether your creative is any good. post one in the first week, before you change the strategy, before you touch the grid, and screenshot the result. if it does nothing you have that documented on day three instead of arguing about it on day forty. and if it does fine, you now have a number to compare against when something drops later the other half of this is the reporting habit. if youre only looking at reach and follows you cannot tell an account problem from a content problem, and those go on completely different slides. i would rather tell a client in week one that we have an account level issue and here is the plan, than spend six weeks making better videos into a wall also worth saying, im inferring the recommendation link from how the feature is built rather than quoting anyone, so take it as a thing to test on your own accounts. if you take over accounts, what do you actually check before you start, and has anyone put this kind of thing in the contract

Prior "influencer" wanting to get back into social media, where do I begin?

Hi, so back in 2018 I started posting on IG, got a following of 700k on my main page and other smaller 50k-100k pages. It was all based around my life. I did onlyfans also and made a ton of $. Fast forward to around 2021-2022 I just stopped posting. It became mentally awful and felt like it was sucking my soul away. I've let mt onlyfans die. I havent looked at IG in 2 years. Im feeling like id like to get back into the game now. I miss that $$ a lot. I have no idea where to start?? I never got involved with TikTok and that seems to be the big money maker these days. Do you think after a couple years hiatus, returning to IG would be worth it? My followers were super loyal and most of them are still there. Would it be worth hiring someone to help me?

Client keep messing with my work and always credits @me

I work in social media e.g. design for social media posts etc. One client edited my work (which is part of the contract) wrongly multiple times and posted it wrongly, e.g they croped the imaged wrongly so the graphics looks badly designed. they also make typos, post cmyk so the colour looks wrong etc. everyone makes mistakes, fine, but at the end they never miss to mention designed @me. When I voiced it they said "But it's your design" Well, yes no? I did not handle the design and finalisation. The feed format is different to story reel etc. They just really mess with it. It feels so wrong and I'm afraid the tagging is reflecting on me badly. What would you do?
