A. The [Social Media] Influence Scores

‍

Many content creators choose to juggle multiple social social at once, and some platforms just click better for them than others. That's why it's important to assess their performance on each social media individually. And that's exactly what the Favikon influence score is all about. It's a rating on a scale of 0 to 100, giving you an idea of how much impact a creator can have on that particular social media.

When put that way, it might sound a tad vague, which is why we're all about giving you the scoop and unveiling all the details about this score and everything it encompasses.

Decoding an Influencer's Impact : The main KPIs

To accurately measure the impact of a content creator on a specific social network, it is essential to consider four key aspects: popularity, presence, progression, and engagement. These elements are the defining characteristics of a genuinely 'influential' influencer. Accordingly, we have developed algorithms designed to reward creators who demonstrate superior performance across these dimensions.

‍

But here's more! We take into account a multitude of elements, and we've put together a handy infographic that provides an overview of the scoring system.

Diving into the Significance of Distinct Influence Scores

As mentioned earlier, a content creator's influence can vary greatly across different social media platforms. Just because they have a significant impact on one platform doesn't guarantee the same level of community-building on another. It's essential for creators to strategically position themselves based on their target audience and platform dynamics.

At our core, we prioritize delivering thorough and comprehensive analyses. That's why we've developed specific influence scores tailored to the unique characteristics of each social media platform. Our rating system takes into account the evolving algorithms of each platform and considers the overall landscape to provide a nuanced and accurate evaluation.

To illustrate, let's consider a content creator who exhibits distinct influence scores across multiple social media platforms.

‍

‍

Take a look at Justin Welsh. He has a dominant presence on LinkedIn, ranking among the most influential personalities on the platform where he truly shines. With a perfect score of 100/100, his outstanding performance speaks for itself: nearly 500K followers, an impressive average of 41 monthly posts, remarkable engagement levels, and consistent growth.

But when it comes to other social networks, Justin's results don't match up to his LinkedIn game. There are three main reasons for this gap: First, he doesn't put in as much elbow grease on the other platforms as he does on LinkedIn. Second, his target audience vibes more with LinkedIn compared to the other platforms. And third, Twitter and Instagram are massive platforms with fierce competition. For instance, having 500K followers on LinkedIn doesn't hold the same weight as 500K followers on Twitter, given the larger number of users with thousands of followers.

B. The Authority Score by Favikon

‍

We didn't want to confine our evaluation of content creators' influence to individual social media platforms. That's why we came up with the global authority score, which takes into account their impact across the entire digital landscape, considering all the social platforms they're active on.

Unlike the influence scores, the global authority score has is limitless. It accumulates points that reflect the creator's true impact. But how does the points accumulation actually work in practice? Well, the concept is straightforward. Each content creator earns points based on their number of followers, level of engagement, growth rate, and various other metrics on every social network where they have a presence. So, the better a creator performs on a particular social media, the more points they rack up from that account. And all the social media platforms where they are active are taken into account, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their overall performance. It also reflects fewer chances of their content being 'designed' and 'managed' to leverage the algorithms. We value and therefore reward originality, authenticity and relevance.

‍

‍

In addition to the cumulative points, we also highly value various qualitative criteria that contribute to a creator's overall assessment. These criteria include maintaining an active presence across multiple networks, having a newsletter or podcast, and other important factors that demonstrate their breadth and depth of engagement. We believe in considering the holistic aspects of a creator's presence to provide a well-rounded evaluation.

This score plays a vital role in ranking content creators in various industries and niches. It helps us identify the most influential personalities in fields such as Business, Marketing, Fashion, Travel, and countless other subjects. As an example, here is a preview of are the TOP Careers Influencers on Social Media, based on their authority score :
