Since TWITTER banned Donald Trump from its platform the ratings have gone down. I think it's time for me to step up to try and fill the gap.
I have a reasonable following on the blogs and at last count there are two regular readers and contributors and at least another five who read but rarely make comments. This is a far greater reach than the two other blogs in this blogging community have:
RICHARD'S BASS BAG A rather tired old bag that just meanders on.
And:
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CATHOLIC Robert the Apathetic Sinner's blog that keeps changing title.

I looked up the meaning of 'Influencer' on the internet and found this definition: HERE which is obviously written by an 'influencer' given its hubris. Here are some excerpts:
An influencer is someone in your niche or industry with sway over your target audience.
"Influencers have specialized (sic) knowledge, authority or insight into a specific subject. Their pre-existing presence in a niche makes them a useful launching pad for brands in search of credibility. 85% of marketers engaged in influencer marketing in 2017 and 92% said their campaigns were effective.
(Well they would wouldn't they given, like with Robert's religion, there's no proof to be had.)
An influencer assists companies in “influencer marketing,” a form of advertising that builds brand authority on the back of another person’s reputation."
Influencers generally look like this:
Sorry, you probably need someone to comment.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Well, my comment was designed to be supportive.
Did I influence you?
ReplyDeleteI wrote this because I've been annoyed by all of the reports of 'Influencers' in the news. They are becoming a 'thing' based on nothing - a bit like religion really and we all know how that's ended up.
ReplyDeleteThe Auckland 'lockdown party' featured mostly 'Influencers' who seem just to be young attractive people without proper jobs and who are most likely unemployable.
Good luck to them but I don't want to hear about them in the same space as about people who have merit and who do things for the health, safety, benefit and improvement of others.
I admit I didn't properly finish off the post but, in my defence the blog does have a Twitter theme and I'm a bit lazy.
ReplyDeleteGosh. The comments are coming in thick and fast, look out Donald Trump.

ReplyDeleteDid you really realise you said that?
Or was it the paint fumes from redecorating a perfectly good sash window with a stirile double glass insertion where the silicon will get mouldy in a year or two and you'll have no cleaner to blame for it!
I thnk the cleaning agents have made your brain go mouldy.
