Kally at Middle Me just blogged about Mega, Macro, Micro, and Nano influencers.
She distinguishes them by size:
- Mega-influencers: 1 million and above followers
- Macro-influencers: 100,000 to 1 million followers
- Micro-influencers: 10,000 to 100,000 followers
- Nano-influencers: 10,000 followers or less
Having a pun intended propensity, I started to think about MAGA influenzers. Donald Trump tops the list. He has a very rabid fan base that may be shrinking as Coronavirus reality conflicts with what the base would prefer to believe. The A(list) zone is Arizona.
It seems ironic that the influenzers that think that pandemic is a hoax now have a mask they can wear proudly.
Wikipedia provides some history on the phrase
“Make America Great Again” (often abbreviated as MAGA) is a campaign slogan used in American politics that was popularized by Donald Trump in his successful 2016 presidential campaign. Ronald Reagan used the similar slogan “Let’s make America great again” in his successful 1980 presidential campaign.
Bill Clinton also used the phrase in speeches during his successful 1992 presidential campaign and again in a radio commercial aired for his wife Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential primary campaign. Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen has called Trump’s use of the phrase as “probably the most resonant campaign slogan in recent history”, citing large majorities of Americans who believed the country was in decline.[1][2] The slogan has become a pop culture phenomenon, seeing widespread use and spawning numerous variants in the arts, entertainment, and politics, and used both by those who support and oppose the presidency of Donald Trump.
A nano-influencer has 10,000 or fewer followers, eh? I guess that would be me. Actually, I think of myself (in the blogosphere) as a non-influencer.

Wow, I’m not even close to 10,000 followers. Does that make me micro-extra-nano influencer? 😀

Most of us probably do not count as influencers. Are we happy with our blog and what we write –maybe that is a measure of success.

Pat, I think you went a little zero crazy. I read the nano-influencer as 1,000 or less. Or am I reading that wrong? In any event – I’m a microscopic-no-nano-floozy. I mean, influencer. Cheeky!

JeanMarie, I copied and pasted what Kally said. (I noticed that one person had clicked though to her site. Was that you?) I’m sure you reach people through your varied poetry efforts.

Thanks. It does make it difficult to comment and keep track though. I do wish I was more efficient.
