Social media has been growing at a fast rate and it has taken over the lives of people everywhere, especially adolescents, who grew up as the social media storm was rising. When it comes to viral marketing, one of the most important factors is the power and influence social media stars have. Youtube celebrities have turned a simple task of making a video into a real career where they make millions before the age of 25. I find it amazing that so much can be done through the power of social media. People of all ages can be sponsors or supported by companies and they can build their following if they take the job seriously, they can eventually find work in more serious jobs in media, such as acting or singing. The internet is a place to being when you don’t know where to start. It is an open door and there are endless possibilities. Celebrities who connect with fans through twitter, Instagram, or youtube, can raise money, help others, and impact the world with help of those who watch and look up to them. Social networking is made easy through viral videos that can be seen by millions of people worldwide. I found this wikipedia article really interesting and I love the topic of social media, online networking, and how in our time, they can hold power over almost anything and everything happening. Most of the world spends the majority of their days on social media and whether they realize it or not, it affects the way they live their lives everyday.
