Let\u2019s assume, the digital world is split into two worlds \u2013 The western world (Google and family) and the Asian world (Baidu, Alibaba and family), for the sake of this article.<\/p><p>Now that we\u2019ve created our partition, we\u2019d like to trace the origin of the words. The term \u2018Influencer\u2019 first surfaced in the early 1600\u2019s \u2013 A term that described someone or something with the power to alter the beliefs of individuals, and as a result, impact the course of events. But, when the earlier term influence entered English, it was used in reference to the movement of heavenly spheres, particularly in the context of astrology, according to dictionary.com.<\/p><p>The idea of Key Opinion Leader originated in the 1940s by communications theorist Paul Lazarsfeld. He established the concept that people could change their views and preferences more because of trusted figures in their networks than because of some more conventional forces such as advertising.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46afb16f e-con-full scrollsection e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46afb16f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"section2\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-734e09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"734e09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Does A KOL Do?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10de689f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10de689f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>KOLs have a broader impact and influence over their audience.

Although micro-influencers have fewer followers (a few thousand to tens of thousands), they have their own strengths that powerful KOLs cannot compete with in terms of reaching a niche group of people, bringing more interactions and building a\u00a0closer relationship with them. When working with KOLs, more and more brands have started to attach importance to micro-influencers, as they become more mature and stop using the number of followers as the only criteria.
