Follower vs. Fan

Follower vs. Fan.Is there a difference? 

Followers are committed. Fans can be fickle.

Followers trust their leader. Fans trust their leader only when it benefits them.

Followers want a vision. Fans want a show. 

Followers ask “what have i done for you?” lately. Fans ask “what have you done for me lately?” 

Followers are in for the long term. Fans are in for the short term. 

are you a follower or a fan?

   You can’t follow everyone…(except on Twitter haha).

   So I guess I follow 100ish people, and fan a bunch more.

   But following more would just be impossible.

   i am approaching the issue more from the perspective of being a follower of Jesus vs. a fan of Jesus. Lots of folks are fans, but way less are truly followers.

   wasn’t necessarily looking at it from a current day twitter follower or facebook friend perspective.
