we don’t write about, or document with the thought in our minds of ‘influencing’ our followers in any way….”
Person: ‘Oh so what do you do?’…
“”Influencer””: ‘I’m an influencer’
Person: *thinking to themself* ‘Oh so you take photos of
yourself which then ‘influences’ people to purchase or
do what your showing… great another walking billboard
that’s just going to make me want to buy x y or z and
make an unnecessary hole in my pocket…
‘That’s cool, it must be fun taking photo’s of yourself’…..
Personally feel like it’s time that it was given a term/name where our hard work is taken seriously and we can hold our heads up high and talk about what we do without having any doubts of being judged.”
People instantly think, ‘oh you just take photos of yourself, write ‘a bit’ about it (which apparently is all easy) and make people want to buy’.
The term ‘Blogger’ having no negative connation, the term ‘influencer’ on the other hand, can have a negative conception…
I feel like ‘influencer’ automatically portrays some form of psychological manipulation for people to buy whatever is spoken about…
Personally feel like it’s time that it was given a term/name where our hard work is taken seriously and we can hold our heads up high and talk about what we do without having any doubts of being judged.
