6 Zodiac Signs Who Make The Best Social Media Influencers
They've got a following and so much more.
getty Social media influencers have a ton of power, and by being one they get amazing opportunities. But which zodiac signs make the best social media influencers? To find that out, it's imperative to look at astrology and our birth charts.
What exactly is an influencer? An influencer is someone who uses social media and has created for a name for themselves as being an expert on a specific topic. Social media influencers tend to build their platform from the ground up, and along the way get tons of followers. People like them because they are experts and are relatable.
Companies go to influencers to create branded content that helps promote their product and encourages others to purchase it. The influencer benefits from this kind of relationship because not only do they get paid and their following grows, but their expert-status can lead to other things such as being a judge on a reality show or getting a book deal.
Influencers are gaining in power and respect, and don’t appear to be waning in popularity. In many ways, they’ve changed the landscape of advertising and promotion. They’re subtler than a flashing billboard but much more effective.
1. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
There are many reasons why Geminis are great social media influencers: they're great at communicating with people, they love interacting on social media, they're smart so people listen to them, and they're always up on current trends and fashion.
Geminis like to have fun and enjoy themselves, and if they can bring other people along, it's so much the better. They know that individual interactions are key, so if someone comments on their post, they will respond one way or another. Geminis keep people engaged in their content.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Of course a sign known for their charisma and captivating personality makes a great influencer. Leos are the whole package. People look up to them for their guidance all the time, and social media is just another platform that Leo can use to engage people.
There's something that's appealing about them and the things they share. We trust Leos and want them to be our friend, and maybe we can get a clue on how to do that if we connect with them via social media.
3. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are funny, charming, and kind, so when they're passionate about something, people take notice. Their content tends to be crowd pleasing, and as popular as they tend to be in real life, they're doubly so on the internet.
They're also fair and diplomatic, so they're not going to try to keep things upbeat and positive to be enticing. Libras enjoy social media, so if they can make some money or gain some followers from something they're going to do anyway, why not?
4. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
No one has better content than a Sagittarius; they're always going to cool places, doing fun things, and making friends wherever they go. Sagittarians have great stories and they're gifted at sharing them via social media.
One of the things they do that companies appreciate is having a steady stream of content. Days don't go by without a Sagittarius doing a post. They've got the three "C"s of social media influencing: charisma, credibility, and consistency.
5. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns make great social media influencers because when they're passionate about a subject, they learn everything about it and keep on learning. Their excitement for a topic that appeals to them never dies. They're consistent posters, have fascinating content, and people know what they're talking about.
Capricorns are natural leaders and they're good at reciprocating; if someone shares something of theirs, they will do the same for them. They have an innate sense of fair business practices, which is extremely helpful for influencers.
6. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taureans are captivating and have an eye for what makes fantastic content. People trust and listen to them, which is why they make great social media influencers.
They have no problem coming up with ideas for posts, engage with commenters, and are wonderful at making people feel included. A Taurus will always respond to people when they comment or re-tweet. They have a talent for seeing beauty where it isn't always obvious and for starting trends.
