 INFLUENCERS IN OUR SOCIETY

I'm sure that many people, especially teenagers, have heard the word 'influencer' at some point in their lives. But, what is being an influencer on Instagram? Is that something good or harmful in our society?

Influencers are the key word in Social Media. An influencer is a person who has an important presence in social networks with many followers. They are important people by the fact that their opinions and updates are shared and commented by many people. Besides, due to their presence and influence on social networks, they can become the image of a specific brand, either clothing, beauty or health.

On the other hand, there are positive and negative aspects to following an influencer. They provide us with information about several brands and keep us informed. Moreover, many of these influencers worry about their followers and advise them about specific themes. These are all positive aspects, but the truth is that sometimes influencers can be harm the self-esteem of the adolescents. For example, when they promote products it's normal to start to do a comparison between her lifestyle and the one you have in your real life.

However, not all influencers accept every deal they're offered. Many of them don't care about money or the number of followers. The only thing they want is generate a positive impact on their followers and talk about issues that could make a difference in someone's life.

To put it in a nutshell, influencer is the 'new mode' on social networks. Sometimes they are a great stream source of current affairs and they can help a lot of people. In my opinion, you don't have to be an 'influencer' to reach other people.
