In case you haven't noticed, there has never been a better time to become famous. New celebrities are cropping up on an almost-daily basis, thanks in part to the internet and reality tv. In this video, we'll show you how to identify your talent, get organized, and get yourself out there so you can become the famous person you always knew you could be.

Step 1: Identify your skill. The first part of this process is to determine what you're actually good at, and what you want to be famous FOR. Do you have a great voice? Do you want to become a model? Is acting your thing? Do you like making films? Are you a great artist or photographer? If you don't know, ask your friends and family. Do NOT try to become famous for doing something you're not good at, because then you're a "flash in the pan," and you can't build a career on that.
Step 2: Decide how you'll get yourself out there. If you're a singer, you might want to put yourself on YouTube. If you're a photographer, start a killer Instagram. If you're a writer, start a blog. If you're a "big personality" type person, make YouTube videos and register on reality tv show casting sites (we've listed a few below). Once you've established this, get in the regular habit of creating great content and putting it out there. This is the part of becoming famous where you have to "stick to it."
Step 3: Get organized. Set your website and social media up properly. When you go viral, you want to be prepared and organized for the many requests and offers that will come your way. The surest way NOT to become famous is to be disorganized and not follow up with people who want to give you opportunities, so make sure everything is clean and organized, there are no broken links, and it is super clear how to get in touch with you (via Twitter, email, etc). Do not skip this step!

Step 4: Make Something Viral. Once you've decided what you're good at, gotten some practice with getting yourself out there, and made sure your network is set up properly, you'll want to create something that gets people's attention. Click below to see examples of content that has gone viral. What can you learn from this? Does it give you any ideas? This step is going to require some trial and error, so you'll be glad you're in the habit of creating every single day.

Step 5: DON'T GIVE UP. You know you have talent. It's just a matter of getting the rest of the world to notice. Keep creating and networking, be patient, and don't give up!
