Nana's podcast#2 What is DOKIDOKI? 도키도키는 뭐?

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 :) 

See you tomorrow for more practice on reading & comprehension.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

😃💚 Aquí la transcripción Re informal, pero espero les sirva 😃

Aquí un buen consejo, es algo que yo hago, cuando me siento triste, tomo algunos minutos jaja…o a veces cuando lo necesito urgentemente, tomo un par de horas para pensar mi vida y soñar un poco, soñar con que soy más feliz y que las personas que me rodean son más felices y que la humanidad en sí es más feliz.
Eso es sanador. Pero no se puede quedar allí. Porque si no despiertas y te das cuenta que tu realidad y lo que soñaste pues…son cosas muy distintas.
Así que…sí, soñar es sanador, pero…lo que yo diría que sana más es el buscar un camino para SER y estar en el mundo de la forma que tú ves en tus sueños.
Así que…ármate un plan, un plan sobre cómo hacer más corta la distancia entre eso que sueñas y tu realidad actual. Eso es lo sanador. También, obvio, sueña cosas positivas para ti y para todos los que te rodean y sé consciente que hay cosas que sí puedes cambiar y otras que no.
