Social Media influencers help us to get to know the different trends that are out there. It also influence the way we think and view ourselves based on what other people say. They make us aware of what to do and say and how to sometimes think about the topics they talk about.
ReplyDeleteTrue Nomfundo, I agree with you on that, where would we be without this zoo called "the social media", and more especially without those who are major social media influences. We basically live our lives according to those who influence us on-line.
DeleteYou know I really love the idea that you are giving the UNSUNG HEROS OF THE WEB a spotlight to at least shine, I think Nicky Minaj like celebrities are just over shadowing mini us in a way, besides by JUDGING THE way deliver your first post It makes me want to Want to read your second post keep it up
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Valentine, yes many people think of the usual celebrities as the kings and queens of the web, but I beg to differ. There are people behind the scenes that need acknowledgement for making social media as great as it is today.....CHEERS TO THE USUNG HERO'S OF SOCIAL MEDIA!!
DeleteI agree, individuals especially celebrities on Social Media have become the new influencers and they possess the power to shape the perceptions of other social media users in a way that can positively or negatively affect the organisation.
ReplyDeleteYes Mr.West, our perceptions and thoughts are shaped by what we see on the social media.
DeleteI for one really don't do a lot of following of social media influencers but seeing this post made me think again hey, it shows that these influencers play a vital role in social media and I think that as PR practitioners to be we should start following them to see how they live their daily live, what they do an so on,so your post really bought light to me I'll start following as many as I can and learn a thing or two. great job on this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Felicia, I think it is important that we are aware of those people behind the scenes that actually keep social media running and make it the zoo it is. frequently buzzing with new information.
DeleteSocial media influencers are playing a very important role ,they have a capability of building up a brand in a positive manner ,but one thing I tend to question is do they always talk positively about a particular brand or do lie and hide some facts inorder to make the brand noticeable ?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment but that is why we have blogs and other platforms for consumers to provide their experience, and also this has made it challenging for brands to actually mislead or lie about their brand.
DeleteInfluencers are everywhere, but I think the ones that are making the the most significant difference are those on social media networks. I mean look at how their social media accounts are flooded with messages from fans and followers, each wanting to be part of their world.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Media influences also guides people on the media. This helps the media from flooding with unnecessary information and also they hold the names and reputations of brands as well as companies
DeleteNtsako you are so right, these big media names are everywhere, but the question is...HOW did the become as influential as they are on social media, now that why I have this blog, to answer questions such as this.
DeleteI see your point Caylan. Many a times social media is flooded with unnecessary messages, comments, requests and so forth,but it can be a positive thing as well because the more people respond to a brand on-line, the more influential and prominent they became
