> In terms of bang for your buck, influencers have quickly become the gold standard for marketing products and creating fast wealth.

I had a personal frustration with the moniker "influencer", because I am pretending I am not influenced. Harrumph.

But, indeed they influence and if I take step back, it is the most appropriate name for these marketers. Whatever they push, be it shampoo, bourbon, or politics, they are just advertisements; fancy billboards; placard (sandwich board) man; and now the "influencer".
