Get Your 15 Minutes

…On You Tube

Written by: Blair E., Managing Editor – Posted: Tue Aug 5th, 2008

A Hollywood producer for many years, despite his young age and youthful appearance, Frederick Levy doesn't just work in Hollywood, he understands its inner workings. Not an easy task, especially in the "don't-call-us-will-call-you" type industry. Having already written four books directed at exactly how to make it in this cut-throat city and working part-time as a professor at UCLA, we trust Frederick knows what he's talking about.

By examining YouTube stars from Lonelygirl15 to Chris Crocker, he deducted what elements of a YouTube video are important to include to attract attention--whether it be good or bad. By making his own videos, he further cemented his beliefs and theories and eventually combined them into an easy-to-read textbook, well, that is, if How to be Famous on YouTube was an actual class.

For anyone who wants to be the next Angelina or make a video more hilarious than Will Ferrell's "Landlord," this book is definitely for you.
