LinkedIn Influencers and Benny Hill
Are there LinkedIn Influencers? If yes, they should receive complimentary Premium. If as few post frequently, as is mentioned in multiple posts, they should be rewarded with Premium and once they tell others how valuable it is, many others will sign up.
Or I can make like Aerosmith and Dream On. This is a cash based enterprise and they make a lot of money on the people who sign up for a thirty day trial and forget to cancel on Day Twenty-Nine.
Recently there was a "LinkedIn Influencers Summit." It looked like Deanna Russo and a bunch of people who either suggest using engagement pods or deny they use them as Daniel Hall begs to differ.
False engagement will not to lead to real relationships. Hearing about AI girlfriends- I bet they have a headache as well. It's all foolish and time that could be spent cultivating real relationships. There are people encountered on LinkedIn that mean more to me than many who show up at work everyday.
Well, almost every day. I cannot say whom anyone should follow or connect with. Some people I truly enjoy may not do it for you. The main thing to look for is how they communicate.
If someone does not respond to you when they respond to many you are connected to- they are not interested in you. I don't know why some big accounts cherry pick and only talk with people who have done business with them.
No friends of mine. The ones with big accounts probably don't have time to respond in the long winded way that some of my comments go. "Thank you" signifies they read it and liked it.
If you don't like the current group of so called influencers- wait a week. Recently some of my favorite people on this site have returned after long absences. Many post because their job requires it. Their posts are good, they find different jobs and stop posting. It can feel like a chore if your company requires a LinkedIn presence.
My bosses may not know what LinkedIn is. Don't worry about it. Influencers are like Benny Hill. This show was always more popular in America than in England. British humor is usually a little more highbrow than running in fast motion, patting an old bald man on the head and well endowed women running around in as little clothing as possible.
The Benny Hill Show was run at eleven o'clock Monday-Friday. One summer before I had a job (even as a child I had work that began early in the morning) I started watching the show. It could be clever and it made me laugh.
After about two weeks I ran my course. It did not feel redundant. It was strange how Little Britain repeated themselves all the time and remained entertaining. Shows like that are a reason to hold on to your DVD's- the complainers on Twitter would find certain comedy bits "Offensive".
Strangely, Benny Hill was never cancelled nor declared offensive. His show was what it was. It is available if you want to relive it. It was a big deal for a couple weeks and then I went back to regular life. Not unlike the LinkedIn Influencers. Many of them influence me to go outside or do something more productive than guess which hashtag has any sort of value. This site has value.
You should live a life and do many different things. Some guy called himself an "Influencer". LinkedIn is the land of self appointed titles. I cannot say if he still posts. We never connected. While he called himself an influencer- it might have been more accurate to compare him to a feminine hygiene product.
Onward and upward. Some who are everywhere on this site fade away. It's just noise if you are not cultivating relationships. Do you want to be marginally interesting for a brief window or substantial for a long time?
