How I'm getting famous and how you can too!

If you haven’t already heard, Spandy Andy and I have been sharing free videos in a new project called the Social Media Star Formula. It’s basically a training program that Spandy & I decided to set up because we get more and more people asking us questions on how we got so many views on [...]

One thing that’s tried and tested in the online world of promotions is that contests and giveaways can get you a lot of attention. Who doesn’t love free stuff, right? I kicked off my YouTube career with one, the $1000 YouTube Experiment, and it definitely got me a lot of attention- not just attention on [...]

“Hi, I’m Bonnie Brooks, President of The Bay.“  How many times have you heard that on the radio?  Well, if you’re in Canada, probably A LOT.  The unmistakable commercials by the President of North America’s oldest department store, HBC (Hudson’s Bay Company, better known as The Bay) has been making bland, straight-to-the-point radio commercials for [...]

I’ve been on Facebook for quite some time now, but I never really had my own “Like” page. iJustine has one, and so does Shane Dawson. My buddy Michael Buckley has one, too. In fact, most top YouTubers and celebrities have their own “Like” pages – so why didn’t I? Well, part of me thought [...]

Last month I wrote a blog post about putting up a video on YouTube video to find the owner of a camcorder that was lost during the Olympics.  In the video I showed some footage from the camcorder and asked viewers to share it around through Facebook & Twitter in hopes that I could somehow [...]

Did you know that you can buy YouTube views? There are companies/people who offer thousands of views on your video for a price.  I have to admit that about a year and a half ago my brother & I decided to try it out on our Brothers TV YouTube channel after finding someone on eBay [...]

Well, it’s finally happened… I’ve missed multiple days in a row of updating my “daily” blog.  I knew it was bound to happen at some point.  They say that 95% of all blogs fail, and the main reason is because the writers run out of steam.  The most successful blogs are updated multiple times a [...]

I was both shocked and thrilled when a friend told me that I was on the homepage of the CollegeHumor web site in June. If you aren’t familiar with CollegeHumor, it’s a place that’s really popular for college students (or anyone in that general age range) to find all kinds of silly stuff including mostly [...]

Just over a week ago I wrote a blog post about how I’m working to have everything I’m involved in be branded with my name and how when you Google Josh Rimer I’m the first thing that shows up.  My inspiration for the post had come from the fact that I had just found out [...]
