Business has been transformed by social media<\/a>. In fact, it\u2019s safe to say that thanks to social media, all business is marketing to some degree<\/a>. Today\u2019s business leaders (i.e., top business influencers) have many platforms from which to speak or to author significant narratives that speak to the importance of social media influencers in business. Top business influencers on Twitter seek to better inform the public and business sectors regarding business trends, or innovative solutions. The talents of the top social media voices create influencers in business that can affect change in small or start-up businesses, medium companies, and even large, multi-national corporations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does Influencer Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a marketing perspective, an influencer is an individual\/message that possesses the ability to affect another’s purchasing decisions. The influence generated is the result of an influencer’s education, experience, authority, and knowledge in the subject matter in question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of different kinds of Twitter influencers in business. Some are just blowhards who want to increase their followers. Some are riding on fumes after long since losing their relevance. Some can make the stock market rise or fall with a single dumb Tweet. But others are out there really reaching out to entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals who want good advice and inspiration. Those are the people we\u2019re talking about at Business Pundit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note on verified accounts: For accounts that have a significant public interest (ie, people are inclined to want to trust them), Twitter has a verification system to make sure they really are who they claim to be. That differentiates them from satire or parody accounts (Darth Vader is not actually on Twitter; Chuck Norris is, but @chuck_facts is not him) or bogus hacker accounts (hi, all you Nigerian princes!). A little blue checkmark beside the name indicates that the account is verified. So if think you\u2019re following, say, Gary Vaynerchuk, and he offers $1,000,000 to the first person to comment and retweet – look for that verified badge before you jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
