Liyana Jasmay goes online to keep fans updated

Actress and singer Liyana Jasmay shares why she goes online and why important it is to her.

Q. What smart gadget (phone, tablet, etc) are you using now?

Iphone 6 plus.

Q. Many artistes today have presence on social media to get in touch with fans and to promote themselves. How about you? Do you rely on these to engage with fans?

Yes, I am available on Facebook (www.facebook.com/LiyanaJasmayFanPage), Twitter (@liyanajasmay) and Instagram (@liyanajasmay). These are the platforms where I share tidbits of my personal and professional life. The social media platforms play a big role in everyone’s life in today’s world and they’re are the easiest way for me to inform my fans about my activities.

Q. What social media app/s you can’t live without?

Instagram (LoL).

Q. Are you constantly reaching for your smartphone? Are there times when you shut them down?

Constantly! I can’t help it. It is such an important device. I get calls, messages, emails and even videos on my phone. I realise sometimes I get too attached to it and try to shut it down to relax and focus on something else, especially when I am with my children.

Have you been offended by postings on social media by fans? What advice do you have to those who abuse social media?

I am only human so of course I sometimes get irritated by people’s comments and postings. But I try not to react hastily and usually take some time to process things that I read online. It is obviously too easy nowadays to just post your opinion on something. I try to not fall into that trap by not paying too much attention to them. My advice is to always think twice before posting anything up on the Internet.
