Social Media Influencers

Over the past couple of years, social media influencers have become a new kind of celebrity and have taken over all social media platforms. There’s now a social media influencer for almost any genre, and nowadays, anyone can relate to at least one influencer on the internet. Personally, what influences me on social media are girls my age who live relatively similar lives to me and talk about travel, clothes, food, etc. The main influencers I follow are girls in their late teens or early 20s who vlog their daily lives and show fun and real things they do every day. These influencers influence me because it feels like they are just one of my friends I have a lot of similarities with and can help me find new places to eat, new brands, etc. An example of one of the influencers that I follow and keep up with is Hannah Meloche. She is a 21-year-old Youtuber and social media influencer from Michigan but recently moved to Hawaii. She vlogs her daily life of hanging with her friends, traveling to new places, trying on new clothes or products, and what she eats daily. I like influencers like Hannah because her content is authentic but still exciting and inspiring. She influences me to try new foods, new products, or travel to new places, and she does this by just mentioning it in her videos in a natural and not sponsored way. I prefer this because it makes it seem like she likes what she is promoting, and because I can relate to her, I’ll like what she’s promoting. Overall, the people who influence me most on social media are girls I can relate to in my daily life who inspire me to be adventurous and make my life fun.
