I do get a lot of people that reach out to me and they’re like, “How do I get more followers?” A lot of people are really focused on the number that is following them. Most of the time I usually tell them to calm down and relax and not stress out about it, it will happen naturally. It is one of those things where I think people put too much of an onus on it and I think we are seeing a shift where even Facebook now is minimizing where you can see how many people follow a page. They’re trying to make it less of a popularity contest. I think that there may be a shift in that direction to not put such a big emphasis on your following count. But of course, things like Instagram when it comes to influencer marketing, people want to see how big is your audience, are you talking to 1,000 people, 100,000 people, a million people and that does play a factor for a lot of people as influencers and that sort of thing.
