Are you born an influencer, like Kendall Jenner? Or is it something that can be taught, like racism? Teach me. I am your lump of clay.
Are you naturally shallow? Or are you willing to work long and hard to become self-centered?
If you were seriously considering it, I’d say “Omigaaaaah, run away! Now! Fast!”
But I’ll shut up and let those who understand “influencerness” chime in…
Just … be yourself.
I’m already doing that. And I can’t even influence my dog.
If you had what it took to be an influencer you would not need to ask. You would be explaining it to us.
Maybe losing the big red “L” would be a good place to start.
Take whatever you’re doing now, and do the opposite of that.
I hear ya. I had the same problem (dog was very smart – a Bernese Mountain Dog, a breed rated very high in intelligence). Fortunately I hired a trainer who taught me all kinds of techniques and tips. It was basically like one of those management “leadership” courses, except the entities being managed and who need to look up to you as a leader were not employees, but dogs – or in my case, one dog.
It more or less worked in many respects. Try it. As for influencing humans, I gave up on that a long time ago. Everyone I’ve seen who is good at it is not someone I would ever want to even remotely try to emulate.
Influencers generally influence me to run the other way.
Then I’m afraid you’re going to have to be someone else.
It was a joke; I used to be a dog trainer 
Explain
My joke was a response to your joke. Where that leaves us, I don’t know. But in every good joke there is a grain of truth. ![]()
I’ve never even heard of Kendall Jenner, so I guess she failed to influence me.
^This is the bottom line. Influencers are shallow people who will shill anything for a dollar. If you have no pride and will whore yourself out for a dollar then try to be an ‘influencer’.
Have you ever heard of Bruce Jenner?
Not sure if that was just an oops or you intended to be transphobic?
Thanks for those invaluable tips, Ike! I think I already have those traits tho. Any more?
Not what it means but thanks for the trip down memory lane to a middle school playground!
