  1. Feifei: Hi Neil, you look stressed? Neil: Oh, not really. Just writing a script
  2. for The English We Speak. I'm a bit stuck. Feifei: What's the phrase?
  3. Neil: Social media influencer. Feifei: Well, that's easy.
  4. Neil: Maybe for someone young and trendy like you! Go on then, tell me.
  5. Feifei: Let me talk you through it step-by-step. Well,
  6. you know social media? Neil: Of course! Facebook,
  7. Twitter, Instagram... Feifei: A social media influencer
  8. is someone who has a lot of followers online - and who
  9. is an expert or authority in a particular subject - like photography
  10. or cookery or make-up. Neil: OK.
  11. Feifei: What that person says, or does, or buys, or wears... can influence
  12. the decisions of their followers! Which is why we call them 'social media
  13. influencers'. Or simply, 'influencers'. Neil: OK, I have a few followers. So if
  14. I start, say, growing a long moustache, and all my friends copy me - would you
  15. say I was a social media influencer? Feifei: Err... I suppose so! And then,
  16. what might happen is the marketing department of
  17. a company selling moustache products gets in touch - and pays you to start using
  18. their moustache oil? Neil: OK. I like the sound of this.
  19. Grow a moustache and get paid. Let's listen to some examples.
  20. Our company was finding it hard to reach new customers aged 16 to 25.
  21. Then we hired a few social media influencers and
  22. sales just rocketed. Kylie Jenner is one of America's
  23. biggest social media influencers. Companies pay her up to
  24. a million dollars for a single post! There's a lot of debate about whether
  25. or not influencers should be open about who is paying
  26. them to promote products. Feifei: You're listening to The English
  27. We Speak from BBC Learning English. Our expression is
  28. 'social media influencer'. So, Neil, how's the script going?
  29. Neil: I'm not writing it any more, Feifei. I'm focussing full time
  30. on my new business. Feifei: Ah, I see you've grown
  31. a moustache. Are you going to post a picture so all your
  32. twenty followers can see it and be influenced by your amazing style?
  33. Neil: Don't worry, I've realised I don't have enough followers, or authority,
  34. to influence anyone, Feifei. But I have discovered there's
  35. a gap in the market for organic moustache oil!
  36. Feifei: Oh, well done! Neil's Marvellous Moustache Oil...
  37. Neil: Nice. Now, I just need to find an influencer to help me with marketing.
  38. A hairy influencer. Feifei: Good luck, Neil!
  39. Neil: Bye. Feifei: Bye.
