Bloggers Have More Influence Than Celebrities, Probably Will Take Over The World Soon
(Advertise with this motherfucker right here!)
FoxNews – Hollywood’s hottest may get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to plug a product over Twitter or Facebook, but according to a new study released Wednesday, people are more influenced by the opinion of a blogger (yes, just a regular human being) when it comes to learning more about products or making a purchase. “There is a definite trend we’ve seen where people trust the opinion of a regular person, we trust any person force more than any corporate force when it comes to getting advice and recommendations,” Elisa Camahort Page, co-founder and COO of BlogHer told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “Experience can now be seen as expertise.” And personal branding and marketing guru Dan Schawbel said it simply comes to the fact that the average American can’t identify with Tinseltown types. “Most Americans can’t relate to celebrities because they themselves aren’t rich, famous and powerful. Instead, Americans can cling to people like them who might also have a blog that interests them. Normal people are much more relatable than celebrities,” he explained. “Celebrities haven’t lost clout but there are new influencers that consumers trust that are gaining clout faster than celebrities.” “With celebrities it is a double-edged sword, they now have all these tools to interact with people and they can cross over and become the relatable ‘person that I know,’ but our expectation of transparency has changed,” Camahort Page added. “People do notice when a celebrity has a million followers but they’re only following 48 people and they’re all other celebrities, or when you @reply to someone 80 times and they never once respond. Therefore they aren’t really engaging. Celebrities have a huge opportunity to control their own persona, but it also opens them up to disappoint fans too.”
By the common man, for the common man! Viva La Stool!
PS – I wouldnt be surprised if straw hats are the hot new summer accessory
PPS – Yes, I only own one bathing suit that fits me.


Welp….better go buy a straw hat for the summer. BOOM.
Does buying his clothes at the salvation army get this guy laid?
The “pleather” couch…is it making a comeback?
Clancy, change those shorts, you’ve been wearing them for a solid week now. There’s gotta be a Dress Barn down there where you can get some new clothes.
A+. Viva la stool.
KFC, Ilike you man. You are the best thing going at the Stool “Empire,” and I use Stool loosely (see what I did there). But BRO, the straw hat AND the popped collar have go to go.
You are like a mix between a Boston Collage SuperDOOSH, and a Puerto Ricano heading out for the Parade, even the shades have a bit o the GHEY.
So, if you are going to be the “influencer of the people,” you gotta start by stepping of your fashion game son.
Theres that fuckin laptop again. Pres the Jew still hasn’t ponied up the dough huh?
Yes homo
if only you smoked weed KFC…if only
The straw hat is GOAT.
pres needs to fire manzo and give barstoolu the fuckin ax. kmarko needs to be back over here
big fan of hats like that, also nothing wrong with one bathing suit, you just get in the zone with a few of them its no big deal. though on the other hand that computer was built in 1998 and probably weighs 30 pounds, get a new one.
