Within minutes I had dozens of helpful suggestions. Some of the 'do it yourself' sites were free while others actually requested a small fee for the information. Theoretically to help maintain their site. And while I stuck with the free sites, the pay sites did give me an idea.
I could start my own 'do it yourself' or 'how to' website and charge people a small fee for the expert and detailed advice I would be offering them. Problem is, I'm not really all that knowledgeable on many things. For days I racked my brain on what advice I could give. I suppose I make a pretty mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I know almost every episode of Doctor Who by heart. Yet neither of those things seemed like they would be big money makers.
It wasn't until I began talking with my co-workers about what it takes to be famous in America today that i realized I had found my money making idea. My 'how to' site would teach people how to become some of the most famous and well known people in the world.
Kim re-enacts how she got famous |
1. Make A Sex Tape
While not the way I would normally recommend, it does seem to be the most immediate way of obtaining stardom. Look at Kim Kardashian. Who ever heard of her or any member of the Kardashian clan for that matter before Kim and Ray J made their little video. Doing amateur porn also helped give Paris Hilton's career a little boost. The only thing about fame resulting from a sex tape is the length of time your fame will last is unpredictable. It might last a few months or maybe a couple years.
2. Be A Rich Housewife
I have found another effective method to becoming famous is to be a rich housewife who likes to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and needs to count on her fingers when adding two and two together. It is also important that you have a very short temper and expect the world to bend to your every whim. I feel while being like this can you make you famous, your fan base will mostly consist of the type of people who watch Lifetime or the Oxygen channels.
3. Be A Man's Man
Most famous guys earn their fame not through any talent but simply due to the fact they are good looking bad boy who treats women like objects or the boy next door with the cute fluffy hair. It also helps if you have a douchey catch phrase and own a lot of Ed Hardy clothes. You will most likely make your mark one of two places, either The Bachelor or Jersey Shore.
4. Be A Redneck
Being able to Redneckognize, Get er done or make a duck call is definitely another way to get famous. Granted these are techniques that seem to work better for people in the South. Not to say some guy from California couldn't get famous the same way, they just may have to work harder to find a person trained in the art of duck call construction. Oh, and drink lots and lots of Red Bull.
5. Be A Member of the Real World
This avenue works best for adults ages 19 - 25. Anyone older than that enters into 'the creeper' range. Plus, no one wants to watch to guys in their 50s arguing about who would have hooked up with the woman at the bar from the night before. The Real World is mostly made up of super in shape good looking people who drink, sleep around and struggle with their own sexuality. Maybe they are straight? Maybe they are gay? Who knows for sure, but people are going to stay tuned to find out.
There are a few other methods to get famous, but to get those you will have to subscribe to my 'how to' website. I should have it up in running in a few weeks barring any distractions like work and the such. Good luck.
