4. What is Social Media Influence?
Social media influence is a marketing term that
describes an individual’s ability to affect other people's
thinking in a social online community.
The more influence a person has, the more appeal that
individual has to companies or other individuals who
want to promote an idea or sell a product.
5. So what is a Social Media Influencer?
An influencer is an individual who has the power to affect purchase
decisions of others because of his/her authority, knowledge, position
or relationship with his/her audience.
This individual usually has a following in a particular niche, which they
actively engage with. The size of the following depends on the size of
the niche.
It is important to note that these individuals are not simply marketing
tools, but rather social relationship assets with which brands can
collaborate to achieve their marketing objectives.
