The hard part is keeping that celebrity status.

Go on any Social Media site, like YouTube and you will see people becoming celebrities overnight by doing almost anything.

Just look at someone like Antoine Dodson (If you are reading this article, you should know who he is, but if you don't, just Google him). Due to the popularity of his video, his interview resulted in an Auto-Tuned song that has sold thousands of copies on iTunes and appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 list. Adding to that, even an iPhone app was created after him.

That is all good and what not, he became somewhat rich, and got some spotlight, but that's as far he was able to go.

When was the last time you heard of him?

So if it is your goal to JUST become famous and be forgotten about within a month, then skip to the end of the article. But if you want to become famous and retain your celebrity status keep on reading.

In order to become famous and at the same time grow on your newly acquired celebrity status, you need to do the following:

Step 1: Create a Celebrity Image
Step 2: Find Your It Factor or Decide on a Reputation
Step 3: Get Exposure

Step 1Create a Celebrity Image

Create a Celebrity Image

Becoming famous is much more than just showing to the world who you are, it's beyond just promoting yourself. What is much more important is how you present yourself.

It does go to show that you don't need to promote as much if people already talk about you.

The question of course is how do you get them to talk about you?

Do something remarkable. Be remarkable.


This is where your Celebrity Image comes in.

To better explain what a "Celebrity Image" is, let's take a look at Lady Gaga.

What do you think happens to Lady Gaga when she goes home to relax?

She becomes Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, her real name. She doesn't come home and watch TV in her "Meat Costume", which she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards, instead she probably puts some sweat pants on and just chills.

So what you see on TV is not Stefani Germanotta but a Celebrity Image she has created called Lady Gaga.

There is a reason why it is called the entertainment business. Being a celebrity is all about entertaining the public, your fans.

So just like Lady Gaga and many other celebrities you need to create a Celebrity Image for the public to see and for you to stand out.

The two most important factors in creating a Celebrity Image are: Your Stage Name and Your Unique Look.

Your Stage Name: Every famous person has it. When was the last time you heard the real name of Pink (Alecia Beth Moore) or Katy Perry (Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) or Eminem (Marshall Bruce Mathers III)? I think never.

A name has great power in it, it defines you aka it defines your Celebrity Image. Choose it carefully, because it will stick with you.

Your Unique Look: As a celebrity you always need to stand out, you need to attract attention to yourself and seem more colorful and brighter than everyone else.

I can't over emphasize how having a Unique Look can make or break your Celebrity Career.

If you listen to electro or house music you probably know who Deadmau5 is. He is a DJ and his music niche is so overpopulated with other DJs, that it is almost impossible to become famous, because of the high competition, no matter how good you are.

But he found a way to be unique: he wears a costume - a giant mouse head. This costume makes him
stand out from the crowd.

Yes, of course his music is great, but the fact that he has a giant mouse head makes him stand out from all the other DJs who are as good as he is.

Now, I'm not saying "have a costume or wear a giant mouse head", but instead find a way to stand out with Your Unique Look.

Ricky Gervais said it best when he said:

"If you just want to be famous, go out and kill a prostitute".

On the subject of those vacuous people who want to be famous for the sake of being famous.
