Hello! How can I help you today?

I'm trying to understand more about social media influencers. What's the main goal of an influencer?
user
The main goal of a social media influencer is to promote products, services, or ideas to their followers, usually by sharing their personal experiences or opinions.
assistant
That makes sense. How do influencers typically get paid?
user
Influencers usually get paid through sponsored posts, where brands pay them to promote their products, or through affiliate marketing, where they earn a commission for each sale made through their unique referral link.
assistant
I see. So, it's a form of advertising. Do influencers have to disclose when a post is sponsored?
user
Yes, in many countries, influencers are required by law to clearly disclose when a post is sponsored or includes affiliate links, using hashtags like #ad or #sponsored to maintain transparency with their followers.
