ARE YOU INFLUENCED BY INFLUENCERS?
ARE YOU INFLUENCED BY INFLUENCERS?
Ever since I heard the term ‘Influencer’ I had an immediate dislike for it. For I am not easily influencedon a subject of some importance. That’s just me, and perhaps a product of age,but what about you?
When I want information on a subject I consider important I go to a reliable source which I trust. There are times when I may depend on more than one source for information. This brings me to the heart of this post. Are you sure the Influencer you are listening to is reliable and has accurate knowledge on the subject? Do they consider themselves authority figures but have no authority.
What are the qualifications required to make an Influencer an Influencer? Does the person you are listening to, especially on a subject of great importance, offer qualifications which give their opinions so validity? I’m sure that some Influencers deal with a subject of no great importance. I am just as sure that some deal with vital subjects.
So, my advice when listening to an Influencer is to be careful. Depending on the subject check the qualifications of the individual giving the information. In this day and age there is an overwhelming number of sites to obtain information. Be careful in what you take as gospel on a subject being dealt with by a person who might no know what they are talking about or base the discussion on their own opinion?
Do not be easily influenced.
