Social Media Age

In the last five years, the Social Media industry has had great development. This has been achieved through the connecting power of the internet where anyone can interact through the SNS (Social Network Service).

One of the characteristics of these Social Networks is the ability of people to become influential. What does being influencer means? Have you heard the term YouTuber, Blogger, Instagramer? They are people who become famous or popular and are followed by thousands or millions of people (followers) as an idol. These people can influence the behavior of their followers an alter their buying decisions.

This means that the content that the influencers share has the ability to influence, reach and spread around the world. Each influencer has its own niche, such as sports, cooking, fashion, video games, show, etc.

Importance of influencers in the social media ecosystem

Currently, many companies hire influencers to carry out marketing campaigns. However, the current platforms have some problems that need to be addressed. For example, influencers get a fair revenue from their time and resource investment? Do companies reach the target audience they want? Do the followers are rewarded in some way? How do companies know which is the best influencer to hire? Can sponsors of marketing campaigns have the demographic data of the potential reach of each influencer? What are the goals of each influencer?

The developing of the Social Network industry will be lead to the next level. All the previous answers will be answered with PATRON, THE INFLUENCER'S SHARING ECONOMY PLATFORM.

A person is influential if he can influence his target audience in SNS. But how to know if someone really influences others? According to PATRON somebody is an influencer if:

He or she has the ability to extend its reputation and make itself known to new users (massification).
He or she has the power to capture attention and fascinate users (engagement).
He or she is a person of trust for the users (reputation).

Thus, PATRON evaluates influential or micro influential with these three methods. For a more detailed explanation see the following sheet:

All the influencers are in a ranking where they can be searched by genres and field depending on the SNS.
Influencers can be contacted, by questions or doubts that other users have.
Information such as social media, content, classification by income of influencers will be revealed.
The influencers will have large guaranteed profits for the period of time stipulated in the contract.
If the influencers also have an effective influence on live or videos in the SNS such as YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, they will be highly valued.
The influencers may be ambassadors of products or brands for a period of time determined by the sponsor.
The influencers will have a price associated with the followers they have and the frequency with which they obtain goods.

Due to the characteristic of separating the influencers in a ranking, for the sponsoring companies that seek to find the best influencers for their campaign, this method is very effective and novel.

Angel is a 23-year-old, loves sports and healthy life and is a Chemistry student.

During the last three years, he joined Instagram and YouTube. From that moment on, he publishes the content of exercise routines and the diet that athletes must have before and after training. This has aroused great curiosity for users of the social media and he has a growing fan base. He has reached more than 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and more than 4 million followers on his Instagram. He also has great acceptance and shares a lot with his followers since he always uses a scientific approach in all his content. He estimates that more than 80% of his followers want to start or maintain healthy life routines.

Many companies have contacted him to advertise their products (sports and nutrition), but he knows that they do not offer a good incentive regarding what the company will earn. Since Angel is sure that the products will be sold thanks to his INFLUENCE. Interested companies do not doubt their good intentions, but they know they do not want to take the risk of offering something lost. In addition, sponsors not only want their product to be known, but in a specific territory people buy their product. That is, not only are they interested in selling, but in selling in a certain place to certain types of people.

This has caused that both Angel and the companies interested in their influence do not reach an agreement.

Days later, a friend of Angel tells him about PATRON a trusted platform that provides and supports the influencers generating a Social Sharing Media Economy. Where companies can see the characteristics of each influencer in a ranking, see which influencers are the most attractive depending on the number of followers they have and the frequency their followers have in buying nutritional drinks and sportswear.
