Any @officialswv Stans in the building? 👀🙋🏿‍♀️
SO I’ve been watching the SWV & Escape: Queens of R&B reality show because I love 90s R&B and I’m a huge fan of both groups. And while I was expecting to get a dose of nostalgia and some good SANGING when I watched, I found myself fascinated by this constant debate over which group should be the headliner of their tour - which isn’t happening anymore, and I’m pissed 😤
Questions that kept coming up included:
🤔 Should it be based on followers?
🤔 Should it be based on deference, streams and album sales?
🤔 Which informs who will sell the most tickets?
Here’s my take: I don’t believe, and will never believe, that more followers = more impact, influence, or even more ability to make sales. Followers just let you know the size of audience you have; it doesn’t let you know how many of those followers are engaged, invested, and truly impacted by you or your work.
When I think about followers, especially in relation to sales, I think about things like:
✨ How many of these followers are actively engaging in your content?
✨ How many of them are seeing your content at all?
✨ How many of them are just ghost followers who likely won’t engage or buy anything from you at all?
✨ How many of them are just bots?
So yes, followers are amazing, and it’s great to constantly grow your audience. But is it a true indicator of impact, influence, or sales? IMO, the answer is no.
I think we would all be better if we focused less on followers and more on providing value, and fostering connections that can translate beyond social media - whether that be customers, collaborators, or just connections in your network. I’m fine with being everybody’s favorite small account as long as my business keeps growing off the gram 😂
So if you’re like me, and you care more about impact & influence over follower counts, swipe for my take on how to think differently about followers and save this post 📌 for later if you find it helpful ✨
& while I have you here, you know I have to ask: what’s your favorite SWV song? Mine is Anything - the Wu Tang Remix 😆
