Abstract

The popularity of social media influencers has increased exponentially and now plays a vital role in everyday life. The research examines the content of financial influencers, or "finfluencers," and engagement trends of their content. Drawing on data from social media posts by popular financial influencers, the study critically examines key themes and metrics like engagement rates, views, likes, comments, hashtags and sponsorship to understand trends in financial content creation and viewership. The study findings reveal that content related to career growth, personal finance & money management and awareness & policy generate higher engagement. Influencers leverage real-time financial updates like annual budget, key economic event etc and relatable content formats to democratize financial literacy. There is evidence that while sponsored content and collaborations can contribute to visibility, organic posts focusing on relatable financial dilemmas drive more substantial engagement. Overall, this research contributes to understanding the content created by financial influencers and offers insights into content strategies that resonate with followers
