Following our Avancem methodology, 2n ESO students have recently had to answer this question in an Opinion Essay.

We have learned to express some facts and our opinions and arguments in an orderly and coherent manner. Students have worked on argumentative language and have developed their critical thinking.

You will find hereby some examples of their work:

Nowadays, influencers earn a lot of money. Why do they earn too much money? Maybe they do some important work? The answer is simple.

First of all, no, their work isn’t more important than others, but they earn too much money because they make their income, they are their own boss.

Personally, I think that the correct question is ‘Why do doctors earn little money?’. They only earn 2,940 dollars in Spain in one month. I consider they should earn more money, because they save lives every day.

In conclusion, the problem isn’t that influencers earn a lot of money. The problem is doctors earn little money.

In my opinion, influencers earn a lot of money uploading photos and videos promoting a product or a project. They do little and earn much money. Marina Rivers earns 200,000 euros by promoting one phone and one product for the hair [etc.]

In conclusion, influencers earn much money when firefighters save lives.

Normally, influencers earn 6,000 – 10,000 euros every time that they promote something. I think that this is too much money. Influencers that have 3 million followers earn 5,500 – 9,500 euros. If they have 600,000 follower, they earn 2,000 – 3,400 euros [etc.]. They social network that pays more money is TikTok.

To be an influencer you don’t need to study anything. This job earns more than other jobs like teachers, agents, mechanics, etc. This is unfair because the people that work with another job make more effort than influencers.

To sum up, I believe that influencers should earn less money than other jobs.
