My Guide Montenegro & friends selection
Can you go one day in your regular life without checking in any of your social media accounts, or checking the accounts of your favourite trendsetters? As we slowly follow the paths and the challenges the new technology age has imposed on us, we are increasingly exposed to the influence of the Internet, especially social media, and the effect that their use has on us.
Some experts define this as a certain type of addiction that the internet era has brought.
But most of us, at some point, have been influenced into doing things by other people. It’s just it hasn’t been done online, and it hasn’t been available to such a large number of people.
The psychology of influence revolves around the concept that people can be influenced into doing things, without realising it, as influence is often an unconscious act.
Blogging as a part of online influence has also had an interesting developing history, as people expressed the will to share their life, experiences, and preferences with other people. This business has proved to have positive effects in many realms of life, as nowadays there are many different types of influencers that use social media platforms to engage with their followers, on a wide scale of trends, starting from lifestyle, fitness, skincare and beauty, food, fashion, and more.
