What does Cole Hocker need to do to get more followers

he is the tim lincecum of middle distance, just needs to get cited for marijuana possession and he's on his way to stardom

If he won several diamond league races, a couple diamond league finals, and won a couple more world titles the next few years and set a couple off-distance world records, and world leader the next few years he'd probably be at 500k

His hair is fine. He needs to take a public speaking course

Unironically this:

Hair free flowing
Wear some quantity of make up
Declare non-binary status
Become self-appointed spokesperson
Get several features and lots of attention immediately

He'd lose some fans, but gain at least 150k new ones in the first two months alone. He'd be one of the best, the first male, and an American. Ticks all boxes.

The way forward for Cole. He hires a company to take stock video of him trainings, out and about, whatever. He hires a social media coordinator to take that stock footage and AI it into whatever paying gigs he can get - crazy stuff is fine. He’ll get a cigarette sponsor and make an AI video of him puffing between runs. Cole never goes anywhere near anything to do with social media, he remains Cole, who is just fine in person and on the track. His job is to win races, the robots will take care of the social media avatar management.

Who cares. I bet Cole Hocker doesn’t. The pursuit of “more followers” is a superficial form of making oneself feel good without actually feeling good. I’m sure Mr. Hocker’s new hardware makes him feel swell and doesn’t need to pursue such trash as “getting more followers”.

Cut his hair.

Seriously, that hair style is so 2015.

Either let it flow wild, like Johnny Walker or cut it neat, like Harry Kane.

he needs to not be ugly. oops.

He's not appealing. Yes is fast and talented, but he doesn't have appeal

he is too old for IG... or he looks too old anyway

He's also too short. But, personally, I would LOVE to have that Olympic gold medal he's got, so I think he can safely ignore this thread.

This.

The man doesn’t have an ounce of charm. I’m not sure there is much he can do to fix that at this point. It’s not his fault, some people just aren’t charming or don’t have anything interesting to say. His only hope to gain followers is to either:

1. Go all in on the religion thing. Those people, by nature, will buy anything / follow anything Jesus related.
2. Go full tilt Red Hat (for the same reasons. Those clowns throw their money at anyone saying Democrats are evil, that vaccinations cause autism, that Jewish Space lasers are tracking your ammunition purchases, etc).

He could retire a wealthy man by convincing the two.

*combining* the two… autocorrect got me.

As someone who doesn’t use Instagram, what makes an individual want to follow someone? I get for sex appeal, but besides that I assume engaging/interesting/funny content would be the main draw? Does Hocker post interesting stuff? Could he post the close of his 1500m with a “gobble gobble MFers” voiced over? Could he do an impersonation of Raygun with “Hungry Eyes” playing?
