So if you and your brother were bored and had nothing to do because it was raining outside, you might say to him, "I've been in the doldrums ever since the rain started."

It is estimated that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to follow.

So what is an influencer and how do we become one?
An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship with their audience and their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel or technology.

Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the power to persuade people to buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some influencers charging up to $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more and more people are keen to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are five tips on how to do it.

1. Choose your niche
What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.

2. Choose your medium and write an interesting bio
Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium – such as your own online blog, Instagram or Snapchat – is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your niche area. When you have done that, write an attention-grabbing bio that describes you and your speciality area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to follow you.

3. Post regularly and consistently
Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts. The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts are consistent and possibly follow a theme.

I couldn't put it all here so I hope it was enough :)

こんにちは！日本語ポッドキャストへようこそ。
今日のテーマは「夏の終わりのあいさつ」です。

日本では、季節のあいさつをとても大切にします。
たとえば、夏の終わりにはこんな表現を使います。

ひとつめは――
「まだまだ暑いですね」
これは、夏の終わりでも気温が高いときによく使います。

ふたつめは――
「朝と夜は少し涼しくなりましたね」
これは、だんだん秋に近づいている感じを伝えます。

そして、もうひとつ。
「季節の変わり目ですから、体調に気をつけてください」
これはとても丁寧で、メールやメッセージによく使います。

日本人は、季節と体の調子を結びつけて話すことが多いです。
だから、あいさつの中に「健康に気をつけてください」という言葉がよく入ります。

では、いっしょに練習してみましょう。
リピートしてください。

まだまだ暑いですね。

朝と夜は少し涼しくなりましたね。

季節の変わり目ですから、体調に気をつけてください。

今日のフレーズを使えば、友だちや先生、仕事の同僚とも自然に会話ができます。

それでは、今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。
また次回お会いしましょう！

たのしくにほんごポッドキャスト！

🍂季節の挨拶　Greetings
