1:be unique>

If you look at popular social media stars, you'll notice that all of them found a specific niche to focus on. Whether it's being a great player of video games or an expert on fashion and beauty, find that topic that you really are passionate about and can provide expert advice that will make people want to follow you.

2:Be Entertaining>


A similar trait among famous social media stars is that they're fun to watch. Just viewing someone play a video game isn't particularly interesting, but with great commentary, funny jokes and helpful insights, you're likely to want to follow them. Likewise, someone who just shows the steps to doing your makeup is not as memorable as doing the same while also being engaging, witty and with a great manner demonstrating their skill. You need a 'hook' for your niche, coupled with a personality and vibe that draws people in for more.


3:Provide Quality Material>


In addition to a unique focus and an entertaining personality, the third major component is to be really good at what you do. If you're going to stream on YouTube or Twitch, invest in good audio and video equipment, learn how to edit videos and ensure proper lighting. If Instagram is your target, then beautiful, professional photography is an absolute must. If your presentations provide no value, people aren't likely to subscribe to your channel or page, and more importantly, share it with others.


4:Focus on Followers>


Once you have your channel or page, focus on getting as many followers as you can. Contact everyone you know and ask them to follow you and share your information with others. Then work on following others, as more often than not, once you follow them they'll follow you back, and their followers will see notifications that you have been followed and they may follow suit. Look at larger social media accounts that are in similar areas as you as these are people likely to be interested in what you have to say.

5:Engage Your Audience>



Another similarity between social media celebrities is their active engagement with their audience. If you want to become famous, responding to comments and making videos or photo shoots based on audience requests helps to make you look approachable. This is a big difference you'll see with Internet celebrities as opposed to Hollywood, music and fashion celebrities. Social media stars have a reputation for being willing to engage their audience rather than appearing aloof and above being social and responsive.
