Social media influencer

An influencer is someone who has the ability to alter the attitudes, behaviour, or decisions of others through authority, knowledge, position, or the nature of their relationship with the audience. Such ability is either inherent to their personality or is constructed by others for benefit. This benefit can be either social, personal, and or economical.

The term 'influencer' is used in fields such as media, business, politics, religion, and communication, referring to people such as social media influencers, podcasters, public speakers, religious influencers, writers, and newsletter writers who have dedicated followings in various areas.
