Don't Get Out of Syria
Assad's Victory Will Only Lead to More Chaos
By Jennifer Cafarella

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has not won his country's civil war; rather, the war is entering a more dangerous phase. Forces fighting on his behalf have made important gains in recent years, capturing Syria's second city, Aleppo, in 2016 and securing his capital, Damascus, in 2018. They are currently attacking the rebel stronghold in the southern provinces of Quneitra and Daraa, where the revolution began. Together, these victories have changed the trajectory of the war, weakening the moderate opposition and suggesting to many international observers that the fight for Syria is all but over.
But although the regime's advances are impressive on a map, they will not end the war. Assad is weaker than he seems. His rule depends on the backing of foreign patrons, such as Iran and Russia, and the exhaustion of states that once opposed him, such as Jordan. His decision to internationalize the war will lay the foundation for future wars, and his tactics of mass slaughter threaten to fuel a long-term, global jihadist insurgency that will keep combat raging in Syria for years to come.
The United States must accept that ignoring Syria will lead not to a clean victory for Assad that establishes a stable peace but to more chaos down the road. To avoid that, the United States should invest now in building leverage for future decisive action by strengthening the military and governance capabilities of its partners on the ground, regaining the trust of Syria's rebelling population, rebuilding rebel forces, and denying Assad the international legitimacy he so desperately craves. The United States still has options to constrain Assad and his backers—all it needs is the will to use them.

Assad's International War in Syria
Assad's victories in the recent stages of the Syrian war have depended heavily on the support of Iran and Russia, which have combined to provide him with tens of thousands of ground troops, airpower, financial aid, and (in the case of Russia) diplomatic cover, without which his regime likely would have toppled. Although these interventions have stabilized the Assad regime in the short term, they are redrawing the power map of the Middle East in a way that will lead to further instability.
The first problem is that Iran and Russia will now be able to use Syria as a springboard for their international aggression. Russia has reportedly already begun to use its Syrian air base to support the operations of Kremlin-backed mercenaries in the Central African Republic and Sudan. Russian President Vladimir Putin's ability to project force from Syria will aid his efforts to erode the NATO alliance and undermine the U.S.-led world order, allowing him to exploit the seams between the United States and its allies and partners. Iran, meanwhile, is establishing bases and creating Syrian proxies in order to open a second front against Israel in a future war. Israel will not tolerate this and could escalate to a ground operation in southern Syria to prevent it.
A further problem is that Assad's depopulation of rebel communities is destabilizing neighboring states and driving regional instability in a way that will prolong the war. Jordan is possibly on the brink of collapse owing to the unsustainable number of Syrian refugees it has absorbed and has closed its border to 59,000 Syrians that fled Assad's latest offensive in mid-2018. These populations may now be forced to live under a regime they sought to escape, creating a ripe environment for terrorists to exploit. Refugee flows are also incentivizing Turkish escalation. Ankara's 2016 invasion of northern Syria was meant in part to check the Kurds but had the additional goal of relieving Turkey's refugee burden by force. Turkey is now resettling refugees in northern Syria and building a rebel proxy force to govern them. But by sustaining anti-regime forces and populations, it is likely to prolong the war.
Ignoring Syria will lead not to a clean victory for Assad but to more chaos down the road.
Despite its support for rebel proxies, Turkey is pragmatically aligned in the short term with Assad and his backers to fight the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)—the United States' main partner in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS)—because of its links to a Kurdish insurgency against the Turkish state. As the Syrian Kurds retaliate against Turkish forces and proxies in Syria and contemplate expanding their operations into Turkey, the Turkish-SDF war threatens to become a regional one. The United States has engaged Turkey to de-escalate this conflict but has taken no serious action to reform the SDF—for instance, by strengthening the Arab elements and constraining the Kurdish ones—in a way that might allow for a more conclusive deal. And after winning reelection last month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is more dependent than ever on political support from Turkish nationalists, which could drive him to further escalation.
A U.S. retreat from eastern Syria, where it currently has some 2,000 troops, would create a vacuum that various belligerents would compete to fill. Assad and his backers, Turkey, and jihadist groups such as al Qaeda and ISIS all hope to gain control of the areas that the U.S.-SDF alliance seized from ISIS. A U.S. withdrawal will only accelerate this conflict.
Global Jihad
In addition to the game of geopolitical chess now being played in eastern Syria, the region is a potential base for a resurgent al Qaeda and ISIS. Al Qaeda operated across eastern Syria before the rise of ISIS in 2014 and likely still has networks there. And ISIS, although weakened, is not defeated in Syria. It retains sleeper cells and forces in small pockets across the country, which continue to fight both Assad and the SDF. On June 22, ISIS claimed its first attack in its former capital, Raqqa, now held by the SDF, demonstrating its continued ability to inflict damage.
Assad's gains on the battlefield will not end the jihadist insurgency, because it is Assad's brutality that drives the insurgency. His tactics—chemical weapons, mass executions, starvation, torture—have broken the will of many rebel communities but hardened the resolve of tens of thousands of jihadists who will continue to fight him for decades to come.
In all likelihood, al Qaeda will lead that insurgency. It has the most capable forces among all the remaining Syrian rebel groups in western Syria. Its suicide bombers are decisive in overcoming Assad regime defenses that other Syrian rebels cannot penetrate. And while the group is building its Syrian fighting force, it is also recruiting foreign fighters in order to use Syria as a launch pad for future global attacks.
Currently, al Qaeda's forces are concentrated in northwestern Syria and remaining rebel-held areas of southern Syria, but the group likely retains capable networks in regime-held areas. Periodic attacks against regime targets in the provinces of Aleppo, Hama, Homs, and Latakia throughout 2017 and early 2018 have demonstrated that al Qaeda and linked groups can penetrate areas ostensibly under Assad's control. Similar attacks will likely occur in Damascus and southern Syria after Assad's gains this year. (ISIS, too, has claimed attacks in regime-controlled areas.) Turkey, meanwhile, is allowing fighters with jihadist links into the areas it controls and ignoring the creation of an al Qaeda governance project in Idlib Province, on its borders in northwestern Syria.
A future in which Assad reimposes control and prevents jihadist threats to the West is a fantasy. He deliberately fueled the rise of both ISIS and al Qaeda in order to use them to hold the West hostage while he destroyed what threatened him most: the moderate rebels that wished to negotiate a peace. His conquest of the areas of southern Syria held by formerly U.S.-backed rebels would eliminate the last true bastion of moderate resistance to his rule, removing Western options and neutralizing the international diplomatic process by eliminating the rebels willing to negotiate. The defeat of moderates does not win Assad the war, however. It paves the way for groups such as al Qaeda to redefine the nature of the Syrian fight from a pro-democracy rebellion to a global jihad.
The Will to Act
How, then, should the United States respond? The most effective approach remains to build moderate groups that are willing to reunify the country via a negotiated settlement. Assad's military gains have not won him back the support of rebelling populations. The most significant obstacle to building a partnered rebel force remains the absence of U.S. will and commitment. Previous U.S. efforts to build rebel partners were doomed to fail because Washington attempted to prevent them from fighting Assad. A concerted U.S. effort to rebuild the fighting ability of moderate rebels without such constraints could fundamentally change the course of the war.

The United States should salvage forces from moderate groups in southern Syria, such as the First Army, that wish to continue fighting Assad. Under considerable military pressure, these groups have begun to surrender to the regime. Some will likely be relocated to Turkish-held areas of northern Syria, but those that stay may turn to supporting a future jihadist insurgency as their only way to resist. The United States should offer these rebels another option.
The south will likely fall to forces allied with the regime unless the United States acts immediately, but even if it does, Washington still has options. It can leverage the SDF against Assad and his backers and rebuild rebel capability over time.
The SDF controls large portions of Syria's oil resources, which the United States should continue to deny to the regime. But the SDF is a problematic partner. Its Kurdish leaders are implementing a repressive form of governance to eliminate political competition in the areas it controls, and the group lacks the necessary resources and bureaucratic capabilities to govern the Syrian populations under its rule. If it is allowed to continue, the mismanagement of SDF-held areas threatens to fuel a resurgence of ISIS and the rise of an anti-SDF insurgency that could be exploited by al Qaeda. Washington should commit additional resources toward transforming the SDF into an effective governing structure and military force. The United States should condition its support of the SDF on good governance and take steps to hold the group accountable by, for instance, bringing human rights monitors into SDF-held areas to inspect internally displaced persons camps and prisons and by enabling locals to file complaints directly with the United States.
The United States will also need to regain credibility with the Syrian population. Reforming the SDF and investing in the stabilization and recovery of areas under SDF control would help. So would helping refugees and internally displaced persons to return to areas under U.S. and SDF control. These steps can enable the United States to recruit rebel fighters from the returning populations, which will remain opposed to Assad's continued rule.
Finally, Washington should recognize the failure of the international diplomatic process and walk away. Doing so would block a renewed effort by Russia to hijack the diplomatic process by spurning the UN-backed talks while hosting its own efforts in Sochi, thus building goodwill with Syria's rebelling population. Washington will also need to reach a deal with Turkey that ends its war with the SDF and aligns Ankara with the United States against the Assad regime and its backers. The deal would likely entail concessions that allow acceptable Turkish-backed forces and proxies to help secure Arab-majority areas in eastern Syria currently under SDF control.
The steps outlined here would neither solve the Syrian war nor force Assad to negotiate. They would, however, provide the United States with leverage and begin a U.S. pivot toward engagement in Syria after the nominal defeat of ISIS. These steps are costly and difficult, but they reflect the best way forward in a vicious war that, far from drawing to a close, will morph into new—and potentially more deadly—conflicts.

Re: most recent posts first?
Quick question - I notice that server costs are $100/mo, and you're sitting on about $1500 right now. So what are donations being used for? Buying jase pizza? (Not that that's a bad thing!) Just curious if the donations are actually... helpful.
Donations are used only to pay legitimate server costs. Not pizza (we had enough trouble persuading jase to accept money for the server).
Yes, donations are helpful. Having a surplus in the account gives RPoL a buffer, in case costs increase (as they have, several times since this board was set up), or in case donations slow to a trickle.
As it currently stands, if all donations stopped today, RPoL would have a little over a year to find an alternative method of meeting its costs, rather than having to tell people, "Hey, if we can't raise a hundred bucks by tomorrow, we're closing down." (then having to repeat that next month, and the month after that, etc... ) which is the way some sites appear to operate.
Also note that, if the site is forced to move to a new server host, there is typically a set-up fee involved which is equal to several months worth of server costs.
So having a buffer is a good thing.
For future upgrades RPOL must include some new features for editing messages. As an example an option to justify the text and manage paragraphs. Some players will like to obey the good rules of writing and we must agree that read an well written text is much more pleasant.
Nonethless this will add much more immersion since we can give to our adventures an appearance of a tale's book.
p.s.: sorry for bad english, since it was not my native language.

When editing a character sheet the current window that is displayed is on the small side. It would be nice if one could re-size the window within the contents of the browser. Alternatively, I'd be happy even if there were some select options to make the window height larger so more of the character sheet could be viewed at once.
I'm blaming this one on my age. Thanks. I opened up a post in the dev forum.
Where are the character sheets for fourth edition?
Character sheets are stored in the Heaven forum: link to another game . If we have a 4e character sheet, that's where you'll find it.
How often are the FoRPoL Account updates made?
And updated. Thanks for the reminder.

Shannara, is it possible to donate in honor of someone? Like donating $5 in honor of so-and-so GM(s)? Or is that strictly prohibited?
You can do so, of course, but at best I will list your name or Anonymous (GM user name) in the donations list without other details. I won't use donations to try to get around the site's prohibition on a public kudos list - and the only reason I will go the above route is that is what we did when some users donated to Unicef through RPoL to thank the lovely person who rescued our data when the host company mixed up servers during a move.
Edit - but I think that's what I wanted to do anyway, if I'm not mistaken, right? My name wouldn't show up - it would just say Anonymous - but if I wanted to donate in honor of, say, cruinne, it would say "Anonymous (cruinne)"?
This message was last edited by the user at 13:24, Tue 18 Dec 2012.
I try to be predictable. :) Yep, that is what I mean, but if you decide to do so, make sure you put in the donation info that you want to be listed as anonymous. Otherwise, I try to put some sort of identifying info on the list just so the donor will know that the donation was received.
I have been a member of RPOL for some time now and I'm always logged in. Recently I wanted to change my password but can NOT remember what my old one is. Is there an admin who might be able to reset for me or at least find out what my current password is?? Please RMAIL me with any answers. Thanks you!
I have a suggestion, I wonder what everyone else thinks.
What about a feature for the GM where he's able to set up what a players next roll will be (sorta a advanced Fudge feature)?
You might as well tell your players not to bother rolling in the first place then, if you need to rig their rolls ahead of time. Unless your goal is to make your desired fudging of player results more believable by removing the chance the might roll too well/too poorly for your liking.
That and if such a feature existed, how often would players trust their dice rolls anymore? It's a big difference between saying "Oh, your roll of 18 totally missed/Roll of 3 totally Hit, we swear", and reaching across the virtual table, taking the dice out of their hands, and saying "Nope, mine."
While you are correct, the opening post makes no mention of the Fundraising aspect at all. I think some of the confusion is this thread can pop up on it's own on the sticky list (at least, it did for me it seems), which does not indicate the fact it's on the fundraiser board unless you already know FoRPOl means that. Just a suggestions thread. I know I had to double check that myself after the fact.
This message was last edited by the user at 03:23, Sat 11 Oct 2014.
Meanwhile ... if you want to make suggestions for RPoL, it's likely best to use the RPoL Development forum. This forum is just about fundraising (and its run by people who don't code the site).

BFI London Film Festival 2019: The most exciting entries of this year's cinematic gathering
As London is preparing itself for the high-profile film gathering of the year, we also prepare ourselves to watch some of the most anticipated entries of the 63rd annual festival.
From all the films, I'll get to see 24 showings, from multiple countries and industries in the business. Within our watchlist, several of them have become the centre of attention with big Oscar talks for the upcoming awards season.
Even though all of our scheduled films are extremely intriguing, 10 of them truly have me excited to be part of a small group of people to experience them on the big screen.
Disclaimer: high-profile films in the festival are not in our books due to schedule conflict and budget. Some of them are Les Mans '66 (aka Ford v. Ferrari), The King, The Aeronauts, The Two Popes, and Honey Boy. Also, The Last Black Man in San Fransisco has already been seen earlier in the year, and it is one of the best works of 2019.
10. Bad Education (dir. Cory Finley)
No, this has nothing to do with the BBC Three sitcom. It is the sophomore directorial work of Thoroughbreds director, Cory Finley, a semi-autobiographical film about the film's writer, Mike Makowsky, a real-life event that occurred in his high school as a student.
Praise has met with Bad Education, especially for Makowsky's screenplay and the performances of Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney. Shortly after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, HBO Films acquired the distribution rights for a reported $20 million.
Including Jackman and Janney, the film also has Ray Romano, Geraldine Viswanathan, Alex Wolff, Kayli Carter, and Rafael Casal.
09. A Hidden Life (dir. Terrence Malick)
A return to form for the director, Terrence Malick- as several critics have described the film after its premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The best reviews he has received since his 2011 Palm D'or winning film The Tree of Life.
A Hidden Life takes place in Austria during World War II, flowing the real-life figure of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer and devout Catholic who refused to fight for the Third Reich. the film depicts both the natural beauty of the land and its people (a standard motive to Malick's work) but also the haunting segregation of those who went against the regime.
Jägerstätter is portrayed by August Diehl, with Valerie Pachner, Michael Nyqvist, Jürgen Prochnow, Matthias Schoenaerts, and the late Bruno Ganz in supporting roles.
08. Waves (Trey Edward Shults)
Premiered in both Venice Telluride and Toronto International Film Festivals, Trey Edward Shults' third feature film met with critical praise as a sleeper hit for A24.
Waves follows a mid-class suburban Florida family, through their lives, navigated by their experiences and conflicts after a tragic loss. That is the only description given by the studio, hinting of major dramatic depth, and based on Shults' work on Krisha and It Comes at Night, this will be an interesting ride. Especially when the trailer for the film gets a similar mood with A24's Oscar-winning film, Moonlight.
The cast consists of Kelvin Harrison Jr., Taylor Russell, Lucas Hedges, Alexa Demie, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Clifton Collins Jr., and This is Us' Sterling K. Brown.
07. Knives Out (dir. Rian Johnson)
Rian Johnson leaves the galaxy far far away to the complex mystery thrillers that made his career, with a new original "whodunnit".
Knives Out takes place in the manner of a wealthy crime novelist, celebrating his 85th birthday with his dysfunctional and untrustworthy family. The following morning of the party, the patriarch of the Thrombey estate is found dead, and an investigation begins as the authorities, with the help of Detective Benoit Blanc, are trying to solve the suspicious demise.
A premise that could easily be an Agatha Christie novel and the trailer indicates that it could be one of the most entertaining films of the year (which the early reviews indicate so).
Detective Blanc is played by Daniel Craig, combined with an A-list cast including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer as the wealthy victim.
06. Jojo Rabbit (dir. Taika Waititi)
Freshly out of the Toronto Film Festival, with the festival's top prize of People's Choice Award, Taika Waititi returns with a strong satire against hate.
The film is about Jojo, a young boy in World War II Germany, raised in Hitler's youth army, but fails to come to the same standards of the other kids, with his only solace being his imaginary friend, Hitler himself, played by Waititi. But after he discovers a Jewish girl hiding in the wall of his house, Jojo starts to question his country's beliefs and actions, while trying to fit in with his community.
Jojo Rabbit shows to be one of the New Zealand director's most profound work with a cast filled with both dramatic and comedic talent like Scarlett Johansson, Thomasin McKenzie, Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, and newcomer Roman Griffin Davis as the titular character.
05. The Lighthouse (dir. Robert Eggers)
Did you have nightmares after watching Robert Eggers' The Witch: A New-England Folktale? Then prepare yourself for the next stage of madness with his sophomore debut.
A24 (once again) presents a bizarre and twisted tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote New England island in the 1890s, filled with hypnotic and hallucinatory events. A film that both got praise since its premiere at Cannes and terrified critics, with huge admiration of Eggers' filmmaking and the performances of the two leads.
Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in the two-man show of Lovecraftian horrors.
04. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (dir. Marielle Heller)
After the success of last year's documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor? the world came into a realization that it needs more of Fred Rogers.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is based on the real friendship between the father of children's programming, Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod while writing an article about Rogers and his legacy of educating kids about difficult subjects.
A sweet story about an important figure of American television, helmed by Can You Ever Forgive Me? director, Marielle Heller, promising a thoughtful and charming biopic.
Mr Rogers and Junod are portrayed by the father of American cinema, Tom Hanks and Welsh actor Matthew Rhys, respectively. Also in the cast are Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Cooper, and Enrico Colantoni.
03. Marriage Story (dir. Noah Baumbach)
By the time of this piece's publication, Marriage Story holds the highest score at the review aggregator Metacritic for any film released in 2019, since the film's premiere in Venice.
Noah Baumbach's drama takes place in both Los Angeles and New York City, as an actor and a stage director struggle through a coast-to-coast divorce that pushes them to their personal and creative extremes, especially the life of their son. A deep study on relationships and the court procedures on the end of a marriage.
This is the second collaboration of Baumbach with Netflix, after 2017's The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), and it seems that this is going to be the streaming service's big hopefuls in the award season.
Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are playing the leads with Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta in supporting roles.
02. Portrait of a Lady on Fire (dir. Céline Sciamma)
Céline Sciamma returns after her powerful 2014 film Girlhood, with probably her best work so far, based on reactions from critics and audience members who got the chance to witness it in multiple festivals in the year.
The French period drama follows a young painter named Marianne, who travels to an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, where she gets obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young lady, Héloïse. Although the soon-to-be wife does not desire to model for the painting, due to her refusal to be wedded through an elicit marriage proposal. Therefore, Marianne disguises herself as a lady's maid in order to gain Héloïse's trust only to find herself inadvertently falling in love with her.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire was a big hit in Cannes, which led Sciamma winning two accolades for the Queer Palm and Best Screenplay Award.
Marianne and Héloïse are played by Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel respectively, with Luàna Bajrami and Valeria Golino also included in the cast list.
01. The Irishman (dir. Martin Scorsese)
As Marriage Story is one of the big hopeful entries for Netflix into the Oscars, The Irishman stands as the leading film for the service, marching them with one of the most anticipated films of the year (if not the most).
Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. These four names have never been together before in any film, and witnessing it in 2019 just makes it even more impossible to believe.
The film goes through the span of three decades, based on the labour leader Jimmy Hoffa's criminal activity with the help of mob hitman, Frank Sheeran. De Niro and Pacino portray Sheeran and Hoffa respectively. The story is being told from the perspective of Sheeran, detailing the journey of his involvement into Hoffa's disappearance, and his involvement with the Bufalino crime family, especially with Russel Buffalino, portrayed by Pesci.
The Irishman has been in development since 2007, with the script first being drafting by the acclaimed writer, Steven Zaillian nine years later. After long negotiations between Scorsese and Netflix, the service agreed to finance the film with a staggering $159 million (mainly due to de-ageing technology used on the cast) and the runtime of 209 minutes.
Including the three leads, the film also features the additional talents of Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, Stephen Graham, and Ray Romano.
Extra: Surprise Film
One of the showings on my visit to the festival is the annual Suprise Film. We do not know which film it is, but based off the choices of previous years (Green Book last year and Lady Bird in 2017) this one could be another grant one from this year's other international festivals.
Our bets go to wither Uncut Gems, from Good Time directors, the Safdie Brothers, with Adam Sandler, or this year's Cannes Palme d'Or winner Parasite from Okja director, Bong Joon-Ho. Either way, they both are in my most anticipated films.
The 63rd BFI London Film Festival will take place from the 2nd until the 13th of October, with tickets available on the festival official site.

Can You Make Money by 'Influencing' on Social Media?
BY Nisya Aziz
Follow Loanstreet on Facebook & Instagram for the latest updates.
Almost everyone has a social media account - from sekolah rendah kids to grandmothers - some pets have accounts too, you know. If you don't have one, then people will start to question, "What? How come? Then what do you do during free time?".
Image source: Asia Pac Digital
Based on AsiaPac Digital, Malaysia has one of the highest internet penetration rates in the Southeast Asia region, 30.25 million are active social media users, accounting for 91.7% of the population. Yup, this is the world we live in today, people.
That's why lah a lot of businesses moving into the digital landscape to penetrate the market and make monies. Plus, with the rise of social media, it has also created a legit job called social media influencer (a.k.a key opinion leaders). And apparently, it's not just glamorous and fun, you can make a lot of moolah too, just by posting pictures and videos. Sounds easy, right?
We wanted to know how true this is, so we had a chat with SushiVid's CEO, YuhWen Foong, about this particular industry in Malaysia. We also engaged with some of the influencers in Malaysia to share their experiences and thoughts.
What's covered in this article?
First, what is a social media influencer and what are the criteria to be one?
Most social media gurus shared that a social media influencer is a person who has a following in a particular niche (like lifestyle, travel, fashion, food, beauty, art and more), which he/she/they actively engage with.
We also found out that there are actually 5 tiers of influencer (don't play-play k):
Nano-influencers: 1,000 - 10,000 followers
Micro-influencers: 10,000 - 50,000 followers
Mid-tier influencers: 50,000 - 500,000 followers
Macro-influencers: 500,000 - 1,000,000 followers
Mega-influencers: 1,000,000 followers and above
Sushivid's CEO, Yuhwen Foong
Meanwhile, Yuhwen shared that social media influencers are people who influence others. She added, "Usually, they have a following of more than a certain number to qualify. On SushiVid, it varies by country and by social media platforms. For example, 3,000 followers on Instagram is considered a micro-influencer in Malaysia whereas, in Indonesia, you'll fall under the same category even if you have 50,000 followers on the same platform."
So, how do social media influencers make money?
Yuhwen shared that these people make money using these straight forward metrics:
Cost per post: This is the most common way. They get paid for every content they create (blogs, photos and videos) and upload it on their platform. This is inherited from the blogger days.
Cost per share: This is when they don't make the content, but they get paid for sharing content.
Cost per sale: This is when influencers get paid for every item sold (like a commission) thanks to their recommendation.
But, how do they determine how much to charge?
We tried to ask some influencers but no one gives a straight answer…. So, after reviewing countless (okay, this is an exaggeration) of social media plans from agencies, we've concluded that there's no 'ONE PRICE FITS ALL' - quite similar to advertising in general.
And, we wish the answer was just as simple as 2+2=4, but NOPE. Most experts said that your pricing depends on:
The number of followers and fans you have
The number of engagement your posts generally garner
The number and type of posts you're creating
The amount of effort needed from you
The placement of the content (e.g. where will it be promoted?)
Additionally, some of the industry insiders also said that most newbies (nano-influencers) will charge around RM100 to RM300 per post. When their followings grow, they can demand more lah. But bear in mind, even if the rates have been set, things can change once you engage with clients.
Sometimes they already have a budget in mind, so you have to work around it. At the end of the day, it's up to you whether to accept it or not.
According to Yuhwen, an influencer can earn RM5,000 to RM6,000 or more per post.
She shared: "If you're an influencer with 800,000 followers on Instagram, with high engagement rate, you could command that OR if you're a YouTuber with 50,000 views, you could command that per video too.
"The likelihood of influencers making this depends on the effort they need to put in for the posting, the quality of their content, and their engagement with the audience."
Having said that, there are some instances where social media influencers don't get paid tau. However, they'll get to enjoy freebies from the brand instead. All they have to do is use the products and publish a picture on their social media accounts to help promote the brand in return - it's like a barter system lah.
"Okaylah, admin is not qualified. K fine."
If you're still scratching your head about what's the right price or not sure where to start, you can check out this tool by the Influencer Marketing Hub called the Instagram Money Calculator (refer above image). It'll give your earning potential per post based on your engagement and number of followers. Remember, this only act as guideline k.
Okay, what's the future of influencer marketing in Malaysia? Will the trend dim anytime soon?
Well, according to the Influencer Marketing Benchmarks Report 2022, the Influencer Marketing Industry is set to grow to approximately $16.4 Billion in 2022 and more than 75% of brand marketers intend to dedicate a budget to influencer marketing in 2022.

That aside, Instagram has now designed a tweak that no longer shows the total number of "likes" other users' posts had received. We asked Yuhwen if this will affect social media influencer to 'shine' if it was to implement in Malaysia.
Optimistically, she answered: "I believe it will definitely change the way influencers monetize and it's a good thing. Personally, I feel that our younger generation is bombarded with all this pressure to be 'liked' and as a human living in this era, this move is good for our society. And, when something is changing for the better as a whole, it will be better for the industry as well.
"For the influencers, they will survive, they just need to find other ways to monetise or measure their performance. For example, creating competitions where the audience has to engage in some way or get paid by sales rather than likes and comments. It'll change but only for the better. I am supportive of this move by Instagram."
She also mentioned that influencer marketing will shift to more China platforms rather than US platforms. For example, TikTok or Lazada Live. Additionally, passive content like podcasts or something we consume while commuting will also be on the rise. And, another thing that influencer can venture into is LIVE streaming which will become popular over time.
Think you have what it takes to be an influencer? Here's what some of the "influencers" shared:
1. Suhaili Micheline | Dance Artiste
A trained dancer and performer, Suhaili is the director of Aurora School of Dance, Malaysia's premier dance school built to foster excellence in students by providing a rigorous, diverse and nurturing environment.
She's also the brand ambassador for Under Armour Malaysia, Sanctband Global and Parklife Restaurant. That aside, Suhaili will be opening her new studio called 'Barre-d' to the public in 2020 to promote dance and holistic fitness influenced by ballet, contemporary and pilates.
A post shared by Suhaili Micheline (@suedanza) on May 3, 2019 at 4:11am PDT
Loanstreet (LS): How did you become a social media influencer and what drives you to be one?
Suhaili: I don't see myself as an influencer and wasn't striving to be one. But, I acknowledge the fact that what I share on social media can make an impact. Most of my posts are about dance, fitness and positivity in general. And, I believe that brands which I've collaborated shared the same vision and value as I do.
LS: People usually say that social media influencers make a lot of money. Is it true?
Suhaili: Not necessarily. This depends on how you position yourself to the brands. Some brands don't have the budget and will exchange it with products, which is fine if it's a brand that I believed in. I can use them (the products) to give back to the community.
LS: This question is a sensitive one - how much money do you roughly make annually as a social media influencer. Is it sustainable?
Suhaili: Just enough to make extra money. I still have other businesses on the side to sustain my life financially - this is more of a side gig to me.
LS: Can you name one perk and downside of being a social media influencer?
Suhaili: The best part is to work with brands is that they allow me to continuously give back to the community by training and supporting young talents at the grassroots level. The not so good part is, sometimes brands will hinder your creativity autonomy when it comes to how you want to present the content and engage with your followers.
LS: What's your advice to those who are looking to be a social media influencer for financial gain?
Suhaili: I'd say find your niche, create a content strategy, always provide values and be consistent. Also, being an influencer isn't something that you should be counting on, but it's great if you're looking to make extra bucks on the side.
2. Sean Lee | Actor, Host & Content Creator
Also known as Sean LJE, you've probably seen him in some of Youtube videos before. He also acted in local tv dramas such as 'Keluarga Pontimau', 'My Coffee Prince' and 'Sweet Dreams' and hosted 'I Can See Your Voice Malaysia Season 2'.
A post shared by SEAN LEE (@seanlje) on Sep 13, 2019 at 5:10am PDT
LS: How did you become a social media influencer and what drives you to be one?
Sean: I don't consider myself an influencer. I'm an actor and my followers came from my acting. Agency just associates my follower count as if I started as a social media influencer.
Sean: Nah, it depends on how you position yourself and how you market yourself.
Sean: Enough for you to survive (priced reasonably).
Sean: Perks - you get free stuff. Downside - most brands don't pay.
Sean: Be genuine with your work. Most influencers these days are just fame-hungry and seeking attention. Be honest in what you do or when you review products. Don't just do it for fame. It's shallow haha.
3. Sivagami Selvarajan | Performing Artist
She is a dancer who specialises in two forms of Indian classical dance; Odissi and Bharatha Natyam, as well as trained in ballet. A lover of sarees, art, fashion and everything colourful, Sivagami also leads the @sareeonmovement on Instagram with #keepcalmandsareeon hashtag that went viral in 2016.
A post shared by Sivagami Selvarajan (@sivagami___) on Aug 24, 2018 at 5:51am PDT
Sivagami: I've been using Instagram since 2012 and it took me 4 years to understand its potential to be a platform to put my artistic work out there and get paid for it. I'm a performing artist, I wouldn't call myself an influencer because influencers are people who are experts in their chosen field and they have a niche crowd who follow them for proper reviews/ suggestions. What drives me to be on social media is, I get to be myself, share my artistic works and other things I am passionate about with people who find me relatable. However, I'm fully aware that I still fall under the category of influencer marketing when I work with brands and to me, it's just a bonus. If I like the brand and I know I would consume their products or their vision and mine are similar, I would accept the offer.
Sivagami: I do know influencers and content creators who make a lot of money. The reason is quite simple, I think. The bigger the following, the more you get paid. There's no fixed rule to the charges. It depends on the individual on how they quote their charges. It can be based on the number of following, engagement rate, etc. If you create content full time and have brands that want to work with you continuously, I believe you can earn a lot.
Sivagami: I prefer not to mention how much I earn. But, for me, it's not enough to sustain because that's not my full-time job.
Sivagami: The perk - Social media has made it possible for a lot of people to work with established brands. Last time, to represent a brand or to be a brand ambassador, you have to be a big celebrity like perhaps a beauty queen or an actor. But now, by creating your content and garnering your following, it's possible to work with your dream brands. I think that's quite cool. The downside - being bullied and trolled.
Sivagami: Find a niche and ask why you want to be on social media. Be an expert in that field and give honest feedback and the following will come. Also, ignore the haters.
4. Vikneswaran | Entertainer
Better known as Vikar, is an entertainer with a Bachelor's Degree (Hons) in Software Engineering and a passion for filmmaking. Having to work/collaborate with over 60 brands e.g. Google, Air Asia, Universal Music Group and Petronas, he manages two YouTube channels (Vikarworld & VikarVlogs), as well as three other social media platforms, all of which equate to 285K followers and over 20 million views.
A post shared by Vikneswaran Veerasundar (@vikarworld) on Nov 26, 2018 at 3:49am PST
Vikar: I never really wanted to be a social media influencer and I still don't consider myself one and I never call myself one. I've always had a huge passion for entertaining people, making content, videos and music. I always see myself as a creator rather than an influencer, but I guess society thinks that anyone with a significant following online is considered an influencer.
Vikar: Not exactly. It depends on how big your following, engagement and brand is. Most of these 'Social Media influencers' only flex their 'wealth' online because that draws in more crowd.
Vikar: I make enough annually and I pay my taxes. Doing this gives me the flexibility to work on other streams of income as well. If I were only a social media influencer, I don't think it is sustainable. People might vibe with you for a few years, and when they don't, you'll lose your followers which would also result in losing your income.
Vikar: One perk would be that you'll have freedom and flexibility in terms of your time. One downside would be you don't get a proper fixed income.
Vikar: Don't do it. If you intend to do it, grow your platform big enough before quitting your job.
So, what do you think? Do you have it take to be a Social Media Influencer? Do you still think it is as easy as it seems? Let us know what you think!

There are a number of different strategies out there, and different fleet managers will recommend different methods. There are, however, several core methods that are utilized by the most effective fleet managers in the world for obtaining the absolute best performances out of these drivers. In this information, you will learn some basic advice on driver management & training.
The first faltering step toward smart driver management & training should really be to teach your drivers to be responsible on the road. Most drivers will enter your team with proper licenses. Understand that as fleet manager, their performance is currently your responsibility. Which means that if you would like them to be trained correctly, you have to get it done yourself.
There have been many studies recently which have shown a drastic reduction in fleet-related accidents in organizations which have put their drivers through training. There have been fewer violations, fewer bumper-to-bumpers, and fewer accidents with injuries. This is important, not just for the standing of your organization, but for your bottom line.
You can also use fleet fuel cards to help keep tabs on your drivers'fuel usage. This sort of method adds an part of discipline to your fleet that's required for optimum performance.
Finally, in order to excel in driver management & training, it is essential to incorporate your drivers and users in your strategies and goals. Don't let them sit on the outside. You should encourage them to be considered a area of the team. This may heighten their sense of responsibility; you will even get some valuable feedback from them.
