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

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 [...]

If you didn’t already know, I have a younger brother and he’s quite the character.  When he was still in high school I knew that he really had potential to be an entertainer and that’s why I came up with “Brothers TV“, the short lived TV series that he and I starred in.  Although that [...]

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 [...]

A week ago I wrote a blog post about the biggest mistake that I had made on Twitter and how you have to remember that your Twitter account isn’t really in your control because Twitter owns it, not you.  Well, today Madonna apparently found that out the hard way. I tried to go to Madonna’s [...]

You may have noticed something when it comes to all of the different social media web sites that I’m on.  They all have my name in them.  Twitter.com/JoshRimer, Facebook.com/JoshRimer, YouTube.com/JoshRimer, etc.  I’ve managed to get that name for every site that I’ve wanted to have a profile on so far.  And it’s not like there [...]

My brother and I both picked usernames on Twitter about 6 months ago.  I read blog posts and subscribe to newsletters about trends in the online world and when I started to see how Twitter was getting a lot of mention and really growing in popularity I decided I better grab my name and advised [...]

So, as you probably noticed in the top right corner, I’m giving away $100 to one of my newsletter subscribers when I get to 1000 of them.  Why would I do that? Well, here’s the deal.  You can’t get famous online without a following.  And that following needs to know when to check out your [...]

Ok, so there’s some debate about whether or not anyone should ever say they have fans until they’re a big time celebrity.  And I get it.  I see people say on YouTube or in their blogs say they have fans and it often makes me cringe at how egotistical it sounds. But what would you [...]

I had an interesting conversation with a standup comedian from LA who was in town on tour.  My best friend actually grew up with him so we all went for drinks afterwards. Ian Bagg has been pursuing his dream of being a big actor/comedian for 15 years.  And he’s done pretty well.  He makes a [...]
