10 Of The Biggest Social Media Influencers Of All Time

The Top 10 Social Media Influencers Across YouTube, Facebook, & Instagram

When we think about social media influencers, we typically think of people with massive followings on one platform, be it Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or Snapchat. But the biggest social media influencers are often those who manage to tap into and engage large audiences across all of the major top platforms, networks, and apps — YouTubers who have millions of Twitter followers, Instagrammers who have millions of page likes on Facebook, Snapchat stars who find their way to big audiences on Instagram.

In 2017, to be present on social media is to have more than one presence. We all have iterations of our online personas that differ from platform to platform. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube are all tailored to slightly different content consuming and sharing experiences, and thus attract different audiences. By today’s standards, the biggest social media influencers aren’t just the ones who have found success in one place, but those who have found success on one platform and have managed to replicate that success on other platforms.
