One of the things I decided I wanted to do - become an influencer.
People that really know me laughed hard when I told them.
They assumed that I was kidding.
I have been very vocal about the destructive nature of social media.
I still believe it is manufactured more for destruction than anything else.
I think it is very difficult not to be sucked in the addiction of the platforms.
Watching the movie 'Social Dilemma' only confirmed my worst fears.
I have very few post on FB, non on IG and a few posts on Twitter.
I have shared events and businesses in the past. And then deleted them after a few weeks.
I want to stay alert about my relationship with social media. It is great for things like discussing health and business with other like minded people. I have found it useful for marketing and news. It has done almost nothing for actual friendships. If anything, it has ruined many.
So, now that I am trying to do more with my writing, it made sense to develop a social media presence. Personal branding is a big thing. And I am accepting that I can't write a book and build a product with zero presence.
So though it may take some time, I think I could be an influencer.
