Why Audience Demographics Matter

Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.

Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

Yes, I may not be society’s definition of beautiful, but that doesn’t mean I’m not beautiful. I am beautiful. Disabled AND beautiful. 💋💕♿️ https://t.co/JB6Bkw6XO4

Here’s a sample of the nasty comments I’ve received lately. This is why I speak up. This is why I’m writing an ENTIRE book about disabilities. Because people with facial differences are worthy human beings. I like my smile and I like my face. I just wish society did too... ❤️♿️

📚 I GOT A BOOK DEAL 📚 I’ll be writing my first book “BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE” for @HachetteUS — about my favorite things like relationships, pop culture and selfies...all through the lens of disability. It’s the book I wish I had growing up! What was once just a dream is a reality! ht

I signed with a literary agent today!! For years, people have asked me if I’m going to write a book and I’d always reply “someday.” I’m so excited to share that my book journey to someday officially begins today! Here’s to writing the book I wish I’d had when I was younger... ✍🏻
