INFLUENCERS IN OUR SOCIETY

 COMMENT 9

If you have a social network like Instagram or Facebook , you have probably heard the word "influencer", but what is the real meaning of that word ? and what is their job in the digital community?

An influencer is a person who stands out in a social network and expresses opinions about a specific topic that has a great influence on many people who know or follow him/her. Besides, the influencers make recomendations about products , lifestyles or services to their digital community but , they are not in charge of selling them directly. they use the power of social networks to make them viral.

An influencer is ,therefore , a person who has many followers (more than 10,000 or 100,000) on social networks . For that reason they are an inspiration for many teenagers but also for that , there can be consequences . Sometimes , the life of an influencer is not perfect but most teenagers think so and that is the problem. Teenagers start to compare their life with the life of an influencer and that can create some anxiety.

Maybe, one of the "safest" platforms is Youtube , which is a website where people can upload videos about their lifestyle , fashion , games to share them with other people. I use Youtube a lot and I really like it because also it is so useful to learn about something.

Summing up , I think that being an influencer is not bad, but you don´t always have to let yourself be influenced by them.
