1) In a few sentences, please describe what does “influencer marketing” mean? Is the definition of “influencer” diluted, with democratization of influencing power?
2) In your book, you said that Donald Trump was an influencer before becoming the President of the United States, lots of people would agree with you, but there are people who view his “twitterer in chief” a negative trait for manipulating the mass and politics with social media, and would rather call him a demagogue instead of an influencer. Without getting into politics, what is your view on the nature of social media and the audience of social media, and the types of influences and influencers on social media?
3) In the hierarchy of all types of social media marketing, where does “influencer marketing” stand?
4) How can influencer marketing help B2B services? Such as accounting firms, law firms, business consultants, executive coaches, M&A specialists, etc.?
5) How can influencer marketing help funded technology startups? And small businesses?
6) How often should people post, on social media platforms, quality curated content? Once a day? Seven days a week?
7) Could you please give us some specific examples of how AI is playing a role in identifying the RIGHT influencers? Fake profiles? Disengaged audience, or whatever else?
8) Since COVID, there is an inundation of posts by aspiring “influencers” all over social media, especially on LinkedIn, what’s the effect of this on influencer marketing?
9) What do you anticipate the post COVID influencer marketing going to be like? Any changes that you anticipate?
10) There seems to be a “gaming” mentality, especially on the part of young people, for using digital media to create “demand generation” leads, and for using their “clan” of connections to post likes and comments in order to promote their posts; what effect does this have on people’s trust?
11) Last but not least, the question I ask every guest I interview on Podcast: What does your brand stand for?
