How to Succeed on Youtube

http://www.laweekly.com/2012-06-28/news/la-weekly-youtube-2012/

First I love the title of this article, I'm not sure if it's just because I'm a Broadway freak or if everyone knows, but if you didn't the reference is to "How to Succeed In Business Without Even Trying," a musical based on a man who relies on this book to get him through the business world just by sucking up, making relationships, and mingling with the right people and which surprisingly ends up working. In the case of this article, it's very similar just in the way of manipulating "the system" in your favor. These people who become famous on the internet, especially on youtube do things  people wouldn't normally do or are afraid to do and publish it to the public as entertainment and once a video goes viral there's no controlling who will see it next. And sometimes youtube videos become so famous they travel to television. (The Annoying Orange which will soon me a show on cartoon network, Niga Higa who has been a guest star in a couple of shows, and Fred who guest starred in iCarly and eventually came out with his on television movie.) Sometimes just by being spontaneous, adventurous, and different you can be successful. It's almost like making the right friends and sucking up to the right people, but instead you're snatching the public's eye and simply standing out from the crowd, which overall can make you a huge success.
