Thank you for the nice comment. I'm so glad to hear that my analysis resonated with you.
What you said is definitely true. At then end of this miniseries, we will have to deal with the confidence of the target. That is the last bottleneck that we must overcome in order to be successful in influencing the target. And depending on what data you have, you can potentially boost the confidence of your target, by making the target aware of the similarity between him and the influencer.
This is precisely what I meant when I said that even though we will be working with influencer's data, we must not forget the target. Even though we are finding influencers, we must also make sure that we find one that is similar to the target in some ways. At the end, there is a tradeoff among the 6 factors that we will need to optimize.
I look forward to hear your comments on my future poosts. Thanks again for dropping by.
