A useful creative stimulus, we hope, for you when planning how to sell in social media.

The number of followers you have and the exact wording matter less than you think. What makes a difference is having the right message for the right people. "Influence" doesn't necessarily mean what you think it does. In the age of the social-media celebrity, a glut of Twitter followers or particularly pugnacious sampling of pithy updates are often the hallmarks of an influencer. But new research suggests that influence is situational at best: as people compete for the attention of the broader online ecosystem, the relevance of your message to the existing conversation of those around you trumps any innate "power" a person may have...
