Strongly urging his thousands of dedicated, niche-specific followers not to let him sway their opinions or purchasing decisions, running influencer TJ Bailey is shilling the self-confidence needed to ignore him.
During his livestream today, TJ shamelessly made a passionate plea to his followers to steer clear of his content:
“Hey guys! What’s going on?
So, look, there’s something I need to say. Umm, I never intended to become an influencer. It’s ironic — I don’t think I’ve ever influenced any family, friends, or co-workers to do anything. This whole running thing is just a hobby; I’m in it for the love of the sport. I produce content solely as a creative outlet and have no intention of profiting off anyone, especially not naïve runners. Frankly, I’m probably the last person you should be listening to. I’m unemployed and live in my parents’ basement. I know jack shit about success. Plus, I haven’t showered in, like, three days. Ok, four days.
Besides, you know what they say, ‘Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.’ That’s why, for a limited time, I’m offering an exclusive promo code just for you guys. In the promo code box on my blog, enter promo code “BEYOURSELF”, that’s B-E-Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F, and you’ll be removed from my newsletter mailing list. Again, that’s promo code “BEYOURSELF”, that’s B-E-Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F.
Also, guys, don’t forget to hit the unsubscribe button on my YouTube channel. Oh, and while you’re at it, could you please do me a big favor and tap the unfollow button on all my socials? Better to be a leader than a follower.
Thanks guys! Your lack of support truly means the world to me!”
