How to Be a Famous Person

If you look at the celebrities in Hollywood today, you'll see that most of them come from very different backgrounds. They were not all born with silver spoons or raised by wealthy families. Many celebs like Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey were poor as children. Sam Worthington, the star of Avatar, was sleeping in his car before he found fame and super-stardom. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was allegedly living on welfare before she wrote her first best-seller. These celebrities have proved to the world that anybody can live the dream, as long as they have the desire to achieve their goals and the motivation to make it happen. You'd be surprised where some of your favorite celebrities may have started their careers and how different their beginnings were from where they eventually ended up. They all took different paths to super-stardom as well. Not every movie star started out acting in movies, and not every musician started out making music. So if you want to know how to become famous, here's a few things you can do that will probably help you on your path.

Social Sites
With the rise of the internet and social sites like Myspace and Youtube, many celebrities have been discovered on these sites that probably wouldn't have been famous otherwise. Justin Bieber is probably the most obvious one, since he recently became famous due to videos he posted on youtube. Apparently, he was discovered after he posted many videos of himself singing on youtube, and from there, he was put on a flight to Atlanta to meet Usher and the rest is history. But he isn't the only one, and you don't have to be a singer to make it on these types of sites. Myspace and Facebook can be effective, because they allow you to network with other people. If you have a talent or have some type of skill you want to show off, these sites are just as good as youtube, because they allow you to directly link with other people. In fact, you can even use these sites in combination with sites like youtube. For example, if you're a comedian, or a model, you can post videos of yourself on youtube, and then embed those videos on your Myspace or Facebook profile. Then you can start adding friends and connecting with people, who will most likely view your profile and see your video. Tila Tequila wasn't a household name until she gained a huge following on Myspace. She probably even used a friend adder program to automatically add thousands of friends. These days, those types of websites look for people who are adding thousands of friends per day and suspend accounts that they suspect of using programs. But if you keep it down to 300 to 500 a day, you should be ok. -->
