Internet Fame (part 1): Blog 6



Internet Fame: the new frontier

What’s the secret behind the newest way of becoming famous? With the evolution of the Internet we see that more and more musical artists are getting their talents out into the world. Inspiration for helping members become famous occurs through sights on the web such as MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube. By easily getting their names and faces to the public, ordinary followers seem to be gaining followers. Ultimately, the impacts of new digital media broadened the music horizon and we see more artists becoming famous because of the easy access of the Internet.

The most recent developments of social media broadens the marketing world. When using these sites we may not realize that we are using different marketing strategies, a lot of the time we don't mean to do it. For example. if you post a picture on Instagram in the morning, you tend to get less likes than if you were to post it late afternoon. Maybe it is because you just chose that time to post it, or is it because people tend to check up on their social media before they head to bed. These little discrepancies are being used all over the social media platform. A great example of this is VINE. This app shows videos created by people just like you. Each video has a different purpose. Those who become vine famous are shown to use the most marketing skills. Whether they include humor, music, or general appeal, they try to get as many people as possible to view and like their vines. As you gain likes and revines, as the views increase, you have soon created an empire.
