I try to imagine what life would be like for those that have a lot of fame and it just seems like fame is a difficult thing to deal with because it usually draws a lot of people to you and gives you a very huge set of fans who always want to see you say or do something.
Some of these folks come close to you as a famous person because they want something from you. Others come close because they like something about you. Some even come close because they are anti-fans and they are waiting for you to slip so they will rip into you. I can't imagine how hard it would be for you as a famous person to differentiate these two sets of people from each other.
It's already hard enough to know who's genuinely a friend when you have just a few folks around you as a normal lad. Having a huge fanbase and a rapid amount of followers, especially on the internet, would be a huge thing to deal with. I guess that's one of the prices you've got to pay if you are going to enter the world of social media influencers.
I would rather be wealthy than be an inluencer with millions of followers, but if being famous is the only thing on the table, I have a bunch of brands which I would like to influence with my fame and fanbase.
I would most likely choose to be;
Y'all know about the famous saying in investment where everyone is encouraged to Do Your Own Research (DYOR). Well, for most people, doing their own research means listening to what an investment influencer has to say about when to buy or dump the shares or Crypto of a project.
It's not even funny. Some people just can't help it and it's not necessarily their fault. If you don't have a decent background in Finance and investment, you probably wouldn't know what to do even if someone leaked some insider data about a project. That will only give some people a headache. They end up pursuing investment influencers to buy whatever the person shills and sell whatever the influencer picks.
If I can grow a huge fanbase of folks with money who are looking for where to spend it and also establish myself as a credible investment expert, I will surely want to be able to help folks make more money by pointing them to the most suitable investment opportunity that they can explore, both in the stock market and the Crypto market.
I don't know a better word to use for that, but what I mean in this area is that I want to have a fanbase of people who will see me as someone who speaks the truth, speaks his mind and doesn't buy into the ongoing BS we see in the society.
For example, the whole transgender drama is a big BS and it's weird to see even the most learned and most intelligent folks turn a blind eye to it. Reputable leaders are also acting as if they don't know what is right and what is wrong because they are afraid of getting backlash for calling people out on their "you misgendered me" BS.
Do you know another BS that's currently wrecking us? Political leaders and those who present themselves as religious leaders. Haha. I know BS when I see one and it's so freaking easy to see all the ridiculous narrative that's getting pushed by some Political and Religious leaders. Seriously, how do people not see that? How do you not see their ulterior motive? Don't ignore their incompetence!
If I'm to become an influencer, I want to be one who will be known for always being a voice of reason. I want to be that person that people would like to hear talk about several things because they know I will always speak the truth and call out BS whenever I spot one.
Just for the record, being an influencer means you've already proven yourself to be a credible player in that particular industry. Most of those who follow you are doing that because they believe you are a credible source of information related to the brand you influence. Always have that in mind and desist from doing anything that will mess up that credibility.
On a final note, I would still choose to be rich compared to being an influencer. Haha. I know I will cause chaos if I ever grow a huge profile.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.
