Brand advocates /influencers to follow on social media! Are they worth
following?
Well that
is the question you should be asking yourself because I did and I’ll say the
once I’ll be telling about are very much worthy. Choose yours! I did a research
and my finding was that it could be about 218 millions of people who are using
twitter and they excel at it while others don’t. twitter is most of us use it
as a primary first method where you get to tell people what you are doing,
covering etc. among those people they should be some who you think are mostly
worthy to follow…you find out from today, my home work for you today
As the
public relations student I know a lot about persuasion how it works in most cases,
so that’s why I should have a good reason for following a certain person in any
social media, and what I am looking for is an influence, yes influence!, some
social media should be about influence, the work should be influential enough
to make me follow you. influencers are those people who love good course, with greats stories, and achievements, what they do is tell us about that and we get motivated, inspired, aware and encourage us in a way that matters. They are real people just like us, is just that they are influential socially. In this world we live in we need people such as that www.causevox.com/social-media-influencers-online-fundraising..... . You want to be my leader? Lead the way with influence
and then I will follow...
influencer should be someone who are
- Credible- Be able to believe and who is trustworthy by being transparent
- Reach- being able to reach numbers of people, fans and audiences
- Relevant-who is discussing what is relevant to us, what they post and discuss. in that way they became THE TRENDSETTERS, THE REPOTERS and THE THOUGHT LEADERS
This brand
advocates I have chosen are determined by numbers of followers they have!
And some of them are even listed as top South
African twitter handlers to follow!

hey Lerato, you know I don't follow any of these people, but since you've just mentioned that they are good people to follow,i am tempted to follow them. I want to follow the m as well. but, what knowledge will I gain by following these people, what new angle can they bring to me and my life in general?
ReplyDeletethey are youth and very inspiring to us youth with their interaction with us via social platform, they are successful so dt should more inspiring enough.
ReplyDeletearen't these people too busy to by interacting with us?, I just want to know more about them.
ReplyDeleteI think there are people who dominate in social media and are worth following because they inspire us through their success and achievements. Its so motivating seeing a young hard working person make it in life and that keeps me going and working even harder to achieve my goals......
ReplyDeleteOne always picks up something new or something you didn't know about a brand or product. So yes they are worth it.
ReplyDeleteWell i personally think that it depends who the influencer or brand advocate is. It will be worth following them provided that their focus is more relevant to you and what you do as an individual. for example, if you are looking onto stepping on their footsteps or rather taking the same career path as them then it is worth following them, they will definitely keep you on the current.
ReplyDeleteI follow only those that are beneficial to me *hides* because the main issue with social networks is that, we tend to confuse audience with influence. you keep follwoing people just so you have too many followers and people that you follow, which i mean is really not good enough reason.
wow im really inspired by these people that you have listed thanks lerato for such an inspirational blog
ReplyDeletewe do need that person or people who will inspire us and motivate us in social media because that's where mostly we spent our time, interacting.
