Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Fatima @Fatimapilot

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

I am a 19 year old girl from Sweden. I currently work as a flight attendant for Scandinavian Airlines and travel as much as possible during my freetime with my upcoming journey taking me to Singapore and New Zealand.
I am also a private pilot flying little propeller planes and currently applying for college to study to be a commercial pilot.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

Aviation, travelling, shopping and nature.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Since my page is mostly about travels and aviation and my journey to become a commercial pilot the name is simply my name and pilot put together .

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I always use snapseed to brighten my pictures without losing quality, it is the very best app to make photos bright and appealing without making them grainy or reducing pixels.
Afterwards I use either VSCO or Colorstory to add filters and effects. I usually use VSCO for my favorite filters and then add sunbeam effects via ColorStory which also makes the pictures look more professional and appealing.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

Pilotmaria, Mariathepilot, Oliviaaader.

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Basically everything I use for travel! I want to make travelling easier and more fun for people and that can be anything from cosmetic products to cameras.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

I love trying new products and sharing my reviews and visiting new places.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

I believe in using more ordinary people for campaigns. One of my major strengths with my instagram account is that I am an ordinary girl so it makes it easier for my followers to relate to me. I am not rich nor famous. I have just paved my own way to my success and joining my dream career while I still live a very normal and average private life with my boyfriend and a dog in an apartment.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Quality and Originality is key. There are 100000000 of flight attendant/travel accounts out there. I believe in putting a personal touch into everything also so my followers can relate more and thus will engage more as well. I write longer bios, tell them about my day more in detail, let them know my friends. Adding a personal touch to your account also makes followers more curious about your account because they feel there is actually a real person behind the account and they like to follow my everyday life.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

It is a win – win situation. Both parties gain from it!
