The Practices of Social Media and Influencers: A Research Based on Incfluencers’ Followers

Öz

It can be said that with the inclusion of influencers in our lives with social media applications, differences have arisen in our social media usage practices Influencers can be attributed as the people who direct the thoughts and behaviors of individuals and convey their experience on a particular subject. The general purpose of this study is to reveal the personal social media usage and following practices of the influencer followers. For this purpose, a questionnaire, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was created. In this context, within a one (1) week period between 21-28 May 2020, an online questionnaire was applied to students studying at the Near East University in the spring semester of 2019-2020 and following influencers. According to the findings, the time for followers to follow the content shared by the influencer is less than 1 hour, and the time spent on social media varies between 1-3 hours. It was observed that female followers followed the influencers in the category of beauty and fashion, and male followers in the game/entertainment and technology category. Instagram was the platform where followers follow the most influencers. It was determined that the followers were interested in Instagram story posts, brand ads and individual content, discount codes and gifts from influencers.
