in recent years, with the emergence of social networks, have emerged what is known as the influencers. Basically they are people (they can also be companies or brands), who in these media have a large number of followers, who actively participate in these and who with their opinions and messages manage to move their audiences.

To give a clear example we have the famous Kardashian family, although you do not necessarily have to be famous to do this type of work. Many influencer are dedicated to a specific branch with their food blogs, or girls who are dedicated to the world of makeup , others use the trip and the adventure, they can also be people who have achieved a large number of followers with just the sympathy and daily interaction through their social networks, these people are of great help to companies and brands using a new style of marketing digital that is very effective in our times

Companies began to notice that they could approach these influencers, for example, to be supported by them in the launch of a new product. This was done analogously to press releases that are made to traditional media, waiting for a journalist to write about our company or product, initially without paying a single peso. Or that an actor, actress, musician, athlete, journalist or other person of the "show" use one of our products, this is photographed or filmed and many people go to buy it. Of course, today many of the "traditional celebrities" are also influencers in social networks.

These influencers in social networks became the new milestone of marketing campaigns. It also became a business for many influencers, who saw this as an opportunity to have new revenues and started charging for promoting products.
