An influencer is someone who has the power to affect the purchasing decisions of others because of his or her authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with his or her audience, and/or a following in a distinct niche with whom he or she actively engages. Influencers can make a commission on sales from their audience and also be given specific offers to offer their audience.
