What makes an influencer/instaguru?

What makes an influencer/instaguru?

is it the number of followers? The never ending quest for glory and validation? The need to document everything? The promotions/partnerships? The dispersion of generalized information/advice? Maybe it’s the haters that gather to speak their disapproval?

Is it more of an attitude/state of mind than something tangible? When does the transition happen from being a regular person? Is it a permanent fixture upon one’s status, or something that can be lost/escaped?

what is the ultimate goal? To help others or help myself?

“when the best leader’s work is done, the people say ‘we did it ourselves’”
