I basically invented the influencer model in the early days of twitter. It was a bit different tho. Hyper-local, I was going to represent the city/area and gain a following by posting events. My idea was that once I had enough of the city following the account(s), I could charge a few bucks to post maybe a restaurants specials for the night, or bring attention to a new business opening up. All while continuing to post events like concerts, comedy and workshops free to establish relationships and gain users. I was going to expand to a web page with a big calendar too, but social was step 1. It wasn't even really the focus if im being honest, it was the marketing plan
All I kept hearing from my mentor at the time was
"nOonNeS gO1nG t0 pAy foR a TwEeT"
(well, he was a boomer so it was a little bit different but im embellishing the quote for the post ok?)
My point is, if you have a vision, something that breaks the mold, the natural reaction from normies is going to be a bunch of reasons why it wont work. Push thru the noise, better to have failure than regret.
