space to match. At a surprisingly a�ordable price of $2.50 per cube, they spin homegrown

�avours into wacky modular dishes from the likes of nasi lemak, rice dumpling and laksa pasta –

each so itty-bitty that you can probably wolf down a dozen without a problem. Plus, it’s Instagram

fodder at its �nest. We can’t help but admire the artistry that goes into every creation, all

meticulously designed down to the very last layer. Our only gripe was that the cubes are pre-

made and heated up upon order, but they still tasted fresh when served so that shouldn’t be

much of an issue.

(http://teenage.com.sg/lifestyle/8-traits-that-popular-social-media-in�uencers-have-in-common/)

I n a digital world where almost anyone (and your next door neighbour) seems to be anup-and-coming “in�uencer”, personalities who can truly make their audience sit up and

pay attention are far and few between. And while there isn’t a one-size-�ts-all claim to fame,



pay attention are far and few between. And while there isn’t a one-size-�ts-all claim to fame,

there are certain key traits successful in�uencers possess – and no, none of them involve

having a pretty face. Here are our observations.

#1 GOOD SENSE OF AESTHETICS

A post shared by Andrea Chong (@dreachong) (https://www.instagram.com/p/BRuYnUZjLnu/) on Ma…



Be it their clothes, their makeup, their Instagram feed or even that random #Flatlay – these

in�uencers have got their aesthetics game on point. You won’t see any awkward asymmetrical

cropping, over-edited photos, etc. anywhere in their socials either. And while they may be using

the usual photo-editing apps like VSCO or Snapseed, their treatment of the photo will seem

e�ortlessly gorgeous.

#2 BEING SAVVY ON SOCIAL MEDIA

A post shared by Jemimah James Wei (@jemmawei) (https://www.instagram.com/p/BRx2zmOhwoM/…

Not just your average social media user, a successful in�uencer is essentially a social media



Not just your average social media user, a successful in�uencer is essentially a social media

marketeer. For example, they’ll know the best timings to update their platforms to score the

most likes, the appropriate hashtags to use, and perhaps in-depth analytics should they have

a website/YouTube channel. Understanding these numbers will help in growing their followers –

perhaps learning statistics does come in handy after all?

#3 GOOD LANGUAGE SKILLS

A picture paints a thousand words, but being able to communicate well does matter. You don’t

have to be the most elegant of writers, but basic language skills are a must – all the better to give

context to your photos with, whether it’s introducing the latest food fad or showing o� your

#OOTD. And for those looking to make a livelihood o� digital and social media, being able to

craft engaging and interesting posts that re�ect your true personality and opinions will score you

points, at least from an advertiser’s standpoint!

#4 BEING CONFIDENT



A post shared by #boohooitschoo (@chloeandchoo) (https://www.instagram.com/p/BRQUQzcAUCJ/)…

Con�dence is undoubtably one of the most attractive qualities a person can possess, and despite

how intangible it is, this quality will translate both online and o�. This rings especially true for

those who are constantly in the spotlight. Posing for an OOTD? No problem! Appearing on

video? Sure! Swag? Check!

#5 HAVING RESILIENCE (OR A THICK SKIN)

As we’re sure you already know, having an active social media presence will increase your

chances of receiving negative attention online. And till the cyber-bullies and trolls of the Internet

learn how to stop, it’s essential to be able to power through whatever’s being thrown your way.

Don’t let the comments of people who don’t even know you, bother you! Like a wise person

once said, “those who matter won’t mind, and those who do, don’t matter”.



#6 HAVING A TRUSTWORTHY REPUTATIONThe �rst thing any netizen will learn: don’t trust everything you see on the Internet. In a worldwhere #SponsoredAds are a thing, it’s getting increasingly di�cult to discern what’s good, fromwhat’s paid to sound great. Thus, building a trustworthy reputation will go a long way as peoplewill know that your voice is one that they can trust for an #HonestReview!

#7 THE ABILITY TO CURATE GOOD CONTENT

KOREAN MAKEUP TUTORIAL | BELLYWELLYJELLY

No matter the medium, creating good content is tantamount to keepingreaders/viewers/followers coming back for more. And learning how to adapt content accordingto each social media platform is important as well; which platform would be best for conveyingyour message? Is your video going to translate well on Instagram? Or would a YouTube video bebetter? Consider your options and make sure to always create next level content that would bothinterest and engage your audience.

#8 BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR CRAFT



A post shared by _Yafiq Yusman_ | � Singapore (@_yafiqyusman_) (https://www.instagram.com/p/B…

Before embarking on this path, ask yourself if you truly have the passion for creating content.Many of the recognisable faces in the scene didn’t intentionally start out to be ‘famous’ or‘in�uential’ – they simply had an interest that they wanted to share with the rest of the world.Bear in mind that beneath the glitz, glamour (and even freebies), you see online, there is plenty ofhard work put in, even if it’s just to style that perfect #Flatlay.
