How to become famous on the Internet - TiYo
Andy Warhol's 1968 quote that "In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" is looking increasingly likely as the Internet age advances. Here are some tips to help you get yourself recognised.
Firstly, get familiar with your computer. If you're still in the dark ages and you're relying on others to know how to operate everything on the computer while you just point and click, it's time to get Internet savvy. Read a few books, browse the web, and practice HTML. Learn the basics so that when TV and the Internet become one, you'll be all set.
If you haven't already done so, map out your personal profile for being online - the same awe-inspiring user name, the same profile, etc., and you'll be able to cut and paste this everywhere once you've done the hard work of getting it right to start with.
What exclusive "something" have you got to offer?
Think about what might make you famous. While fame and becoming famous can be an elusive concept, what have you got to offer other people that will put you above the online masses? There are some key factors that will help your quest:
-You're fascinating, interesting, unusual, alluring, or unique. Much Internet fame is about working the "cult of personality".
-You have something worth people's attention rather than being attention-seeking. What you have to offer readers and viewers is entertaining, enjoyable, and new. It's about the information and entertainment, not about "Look at me!".
-You're good at connecting with people. You're affable, funny, or fun, and at ease in the online medium.
-Most of all, you're able to get across all of the above in a screen environment.
What sort of fame are you looking for?
Do you want to be famous everywhere for being an outstanding personality, a technical goddess/pro, or the most followed social butterfly? Or are you more focused, hoping to become famous for being the best in a particular area, such as being the best blogger on women's fashion, the best video creator of science fiction spoofs, the best nature photographer online, etc.? Determine your style of fame so that you can remain focused on your online purpose. The second kind of fame is more likely online because fame is more "intimate" than the fame of movies stars and other celebrities.
-If you're aspiring to earn a living from the Internet and being famous online, remember that quite often "Internet fame" leads to speaking engagements, books, and a following of people keen to trust your expertise.
