At least 9999 real users with 3-4% active engagement/conversion.

I trust products that have 2500+ 'real' followers with good engagement
It definitely varies but I think 10k+ followers with decent engagement (likes, comments, etc.) is a good rule of thumb. Under that and it might come across as not established enough. But the key is having an active community, not just a high follower count with zombie accounts. Focus on building real relationships!
I feel like 2500 is probably a good minimum, but the engagement rate and quality of the followers matter too. If half the followers seem fake or the posts barely get any likes/comments, I wouldn't find the brand very credible even with 5k+ followers. I'd look for at least a few % engagement rate from real looking accounts.

I think the number of followers isn’t as crucial as engagement. Even with around 300 followers, a brand can look credible if they have active and genuine interactions. Quality over quantity always wins!
