Besides hearing stories from successful self-starters, The Master Collective will also cover relevant and practical skills to those who are seeking self-improvement.
Influencers Involved
The first course is set to start on 9 September (which, by the way, is tomorrow!) and each course takes about seven hours to complete. Everything is online so you won’t need to leave your house to be the next big influencer.
It will feature a few high-profile social media influencers: Bong Qiu Qiu, a blogger with 292,000 Instagram followers; Malaque Mahdaly, former Singapore Idol participant with 187,000 followers on Instagram and Tan Jun Jie, a vlogger who co-founded The Meatmen Channel.
They will share their story of how they became influencers and tips on how they maintain their social media presence.
The second course, to start on 16 September, will feature Rachel Lim, founder of Love, Bonito, who will teach participants how to start their own fashion and lifestyle businesses.
