PAPER DUCHESSES JOURNAL Paper Duchesses is a Journal of Social Influencer Lifestyle, Fashion, and Fiction that provides our r ... eaders with inspiration for a beautiful, purposeful life. Most of our contributors are themselves influencers, allowing our articles and guides unique insights into all sides of the new social landscape. The word social influencer is often used to describe someone who is famous, a notable person, or a celebrity, but influence is more than simply being well-known or notorious. A social influencer is actually someone who other people trust and seek to emulate and can be as ‘small’ as a glamorous friend who you rely on for fashion advice or as ‘large’ as Selena Gomez with the world record 136 Million followers on Instagram, many of whom are ready to instantly buy whatever she wears. Social influencers are moving billions of dollars across industries with their marketing and sales capabilities, but it isn’t all about fashion, cosmetics, food, travel, and luxury. Modern influencers are using their power for good by championing humanitarian causes across the globe and raising massive funds for philanthropic causes as well as highlighting important charities that would normally go overlooked. The Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, and other young royals are tireless advocates for numerous causes and societies that seek to aid causes from environmental to human rights. Other influencers are giving voice to arts and culture or bringing attention to the sciences. Supermodel Karlie Kloss is often seen encouraging girls to be interested in causes like space exploration and computer programming. YouTube has become a huge platform for creators to share their passions as well as the latest advances in science and technology. And since creators are usually on the forefront of these industries and are given access before anyone else, they automatically become influencers in that everyone else is watching their content to inform their buying choices. Paper Duchesses Journal covers all aspects of the social influencer landscape in a way that highlights the positive and inspirational in life. WHO WRITES FOR PAPER DUCHESSES?
