For those of us who are social media savvy and have an identical sibling, double trouble now means double the success.
“Twinfluencers” as they’re now known (i.e. content creators who are twins) are taking over social media and video-sharing platforms. And while no one’s exactly certain why its a recipe for success, teaming up with your twin could be the secret sauce to social media stardom.
“Twins play into something the YouTube algorithm is favoring at the moment,”Dan Weinstein, the Co-Founder and President of influencer-management company Studio71, an influencer-management company, said to The Atlantic.
“So they’re surfacing more than they used to.”
Nevertheless, more of a good thing isn’t bad when it comes to sharing content online. We’re rounded up seven “twinfluencers” you should be following on social media (and subscribing to on YouTube.)
Check them out below and let us know your thoughts.
