Before viewing the content, they were briefed about the   Facebook, Instagram and Twitter influencer, the work they do,

the product they were reviewing, so that they could answer the interview questions smoothly. From Facebook,  beauty and technology genres were chosen. Both these genres included viewing the product review first and then followed by the advertisement. From Instagram, the work of four influencers was accepted.  After seeing the pictures, the sample was then shown images from popular. Instagram and Twitter accounts. These accounts include models, sportspersons and beauty bloggers. These images were displayed to a picture where they have tagged a particular brand of clothing they are wearing. The researcher had images from the profile’s popularity, their work and the kind of models and brands that the Instagram celebrity is endorsing. After showing three copies (3 product reviews and three advertisements) from Facebook, and viewing the

work of  4 influencers from Instagram and Twitter, was then answered in a one-on-one interview.  Since interviews were also a qualitative method, the meeting was done immediately after the viewing of the pictures as mentioned above and images. This is because it was to be easy for the sample to explain whether they prefer influencers giving product reviews to advertisements. The interview was mainly focused on the questions if social media had an adverse effect? If buyers can easily be exposed to harmful products through the use of social media for information?  What are brands more likely to impact the audience?  The

If the most significant risk is the possibility of false information by the influencers,?  If they find it necessary for the marketing to be in sync with their job profile? And how likely are they motivated to try or purchase the product endorsed by the social media influencer?  The questions were to revolve around these main above mentioned questions. The answers were then statistically analyzed to see if the sample is influenced by the endorsement done by the social media influencer.
