WATCH: Why you should try the #InfluencerChallenge
From TikTok dance routines to the old school #IceBucketChallenge, everyone loves a social media challenge.
Now the latest challenge involves pretending to be an influencer.
READ: Listen up and eat your heart out!
All you have to do is pretend that you're filming a tutorial or content similar to that of a typical influencer in front of a family or friends. Then instead of filming yourself, flip the camera and record the other person's reaction to your fake filming.
The trend has been making the rounds on TikTok for a while now, but one attempt has now gone viral.

Her family caught on to her when she started laughing along with them, but she was happy that she was able to lift their spirits for a short while
