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

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 [...]

The fact that my latest YouTube video is just over a month old breaks one of my own rules that I’ll talk about later on about the importance of keeping your online presence regular.  Like bowel movements, dumping videos into YouTube is healthy… for keeping your subscribers happy  (it’s Friday and I’m in an extra [...]

I love YouTube. It’s a great way to share videos with people and an amazing resource for anything you could want to watch.  Whether it’s how-to videos, the latest music videos, news segments, comedic sketches, or anything else that strikes your fancy, chances are you can find it quickly and easily on YouTube… and maybe [...]

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 [...]

If you know anything about me, you know that I’m really into YouTube. Both as a past time for watching all kinds of stuff, and also as a tool to get myself seen and known. When I joined YouTube in 2007 it was because I had seen news stories about people being getting big breaks [...]

How do you measure fame in general? When you think of the word “famous” you probably think of big time celebrities.  The people in LA who are in movies and on television, who the paparazzi follow and couldn’t go to the grocery store without being asked for an autograph.  Not to mention rolling in the [...]
