In recent years, we've seen a new breed of celebrities take the online world by storm: Internet sensations.
The Internet has indeed become the new launching pad or stepping-stone for those who want to enter showbiz or those who want to amass a huge following and be known in their field of expertise.
Internationally, we've seen how YouTube catapulted singers such as Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, and Charlie Puth to super-stardom.
There are also world-famous beauty gurus or influencers who got their start on YouTube such as Bretman Rock and Patrick Starr.
Aside from YouTube, other social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Dubsmash, and TikTok have also given rise to the so-called online celebrities or Internet sensations.
