“Coquette”: Dion the Peon

When my daughter specially sent us that vlog she wrote, “this could be my breakthrough” as influencer and trend-spotter. As of now “Coquette” has had 2.4k views—but wait it will be 2.5k in a couple hours and 2.6 a couple after that. The thing just keeps racking up the hits. Compared to the views of her other vlogs “Coquette” has been her breakthrough: “Thrifting” three days ago, 48 views; “Styling” two weeks ago, 31 views.

Most impressive to me—my kid called this. It was like Babe Ruth pointing where he was going to hit a home run. I know something about this. As a blogger for almost twenty years I have never once been able to say ahead of time, "Ah, this post will get the hits!" The most-read post in the history of this blog, “The Devil and LeBron James”, was a spur-of-the-moment writing decision for which I had NO expectations. Within a couple of weeks it had been read over 17k times. I had no clue why. Still don't.

I don’t know if my daughter has any stock market tips for when you can foresee like this you have valuable insight indeed into your market.
