How can we talk about Lauren Alexis without not discussing the emergence of a new-age concept of influencing?
We are all living in a new world now, aren’t we? Compared to just a couple of decades ago, things are way different now. Where in the olden days, you had to write letters and then for them to go through snail mail. All this was just to check up on our loved ones.
Sure, phones were there (landlines mainly), but they used to be very expensive. Not to mention that it is not so easily accessible. Just calling your loved ones used to set back the pockets a bit.
But all that has changed now. The credit for that obviously goes to the internet. With the ease of access to the internet, everything is so easy now. All we need to do is just hop on the internet, and there is no problem that does not have solution there.
Not only has the internet made checking up on loved ones incredibly easy. However, it has also created many new professions. The term ”blogger”, ”influencer”, ”TikTok artist” didn’t hold any importance before. But now, it is an incredible source of income.
In recent years, many people (mainly youngsters) have exploited the internet and made a career for themselves. One name that has recently been famous is Lauren Alexis. Like many, she has also unleashed the power of the internet for her gains. But who is Lauren? Let’s find out.
