Vocus have produced a graphic showing what they class as the “5 types of social followers your business needs”
The 5 classes of follower are:
- The early adopter
- The social sharer
- The born follower
- The popular powerhouse
- The basement dwelling hater
Not only do they provide 5 simple classifications but they also provide a rationale and some hard numbers to back it up.
What’s also interesting is that they recognise the importance of critics
Here’s the full graphic (click to enlarge)
