I´m not sure i´m a influencer.. but i guess the influencers should pay more attention to the environment and society problems, like deforestarion, pollution, waist, starvation, subnutrition, animal extinction and so… We´re not alone, nor here on Earth, nor in the universe, and we should be aware of that and make more effort to maintain our dear Earth as healthiest as possible…

Original content is the goal.

The Win/Win relationship. A partnering can only be good if both sides can have positive returns. And the money is not the ultimate goal. Make the society better with partnering should be the goal. I´m not sure if you understood me on that point.. sorry about that haha
