The Making of an Online Celebrity
Read this article from 2015 about a Vine "celebrity", named Jerome Jarre. Take a look at the videos that are linked in the article also:
"Jerome Jarre: The Making of a Vine Celebrity"
Not only has this guy become famous in an instant, but it also looks like he's not just a "flash in the pan" because it seems as though he understands how to use social media apps to promote himself and other things around him. [Update: He and everyone else IS a "flash in the pan" as far as Vine is concerned - since they pulled the plug on Vine!]
Had you heard of Jerome before reading the article? What do you think of what he's done on Vine? What do you think about this kind of opportunity with mobile apps, such as Snapchat? Can anybody do it? Will such fame last, and is it something that can be made into a legitimate business?
HERE is his YouTube channel.
I have not really heard of Jerome before this article but he seemed to mess with people a lot on the Vine app.Back in like 2010, it was easier to get internet views because less people were uploading videos. In the year of 2020 now though, there are so many people uploading to get views that it's hard to even get noticed. If you are patient enough, you could possibly get views. But the thing is, that could take years. But it's always good to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jaxon. It is extremely hard to get noticed but they only way that you will get noticed is if you make yourself heard.
DeleteThat's a good point Jaxon! But, while there are a lot more people on the internet, you still are able to get viewers faster than when there was only a few people on the internet.
DeleteI have not heard of him before this. I think he is funny and did good content on vine and on youtube. I think that it is a fantastic thing if you do want to get your name out there in the world. It males it a lot easier. I think if you have the talent anyone can do it. Yes I do believe that fame can last but you have to work hard to keep it. And yes I believe it can be made into a business but you have to work for it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you have to work hard to keep the fame. Once you have it, you have to keep working to keep it going.
DeleteI agree Haley, if you do your best and keep up good work, you will get the fame you want.
DeleteI agree with you, Haley! I think that working hard to keep your fame is something that everybody has to do, and tries to do, but not everyone seems to be successful with it. I also agree with you that it can be made into a business if you work hard enough for it.
DeleteI agree with Haley Like alot of people are famous and then next thing you know they're forgotten because they didn't work hard to keep the fame and they lost it.
DeleteI have not heard of Jerome before, but I think you have a chance to get famous, pretty easily actually. I think anyone can do it, just make a good video and get on the for you page. I also think fame can last, once sponsors and company's see you, then you can actually keep your fame going.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good point. Once you get noticed by someone and get a sponsor then you'll get paid for what you are doing.
DeleteGood point Hanna. Once sponsors notice you, it's really easy to turn your fun videos into a job.
DeleteYou're right Hanna, anyone can get famous on Tik Tok, and its a good way to get famous too.
DeleteI agree with you, Hanna. If you can get sponsors and company deals then you can make that a full-time job.
DeleteI agree Hanna once you get famous the sponsors will come and you will make more money.
DeleteI believe the fame will last for some people and others won't. David dobrik was vine famous and he still is. But a guy named Austin Miles was vine famous and after it shut down nobody ever heard from him. It only works for some people.
ReplyDeleteGood point Ross, people who are famous started a while back when the internet wasn't loaded with creators and it was easier to be noticed.
DeleteI agree, I think it's just the amount of effort put into keeping the fame.
DeleteI agree also once you become famous you have to work hard to stay famous or you will be forgotten.
DeleteI have never heard of Jerome before Mr. Haeger told me about it. I think that opportunities like these on apps like Vine, or Tik Tok, or Instagram, can be good opportunities to help the world. I think that anyone that puts their mind to it can do it. I think that the fame does sometimes last, but also sometimes dies out. So it's probably not the best way to make a living, and you should have a backup.
ReplyDeletei also agree with you Antonio i did not know who this person is until Mr.Haeger told me about him now i know who he is and he did some cool thins
DeleteI do agree with this I think that the fame can die out and you definitely need a backup plan and don't rely on your fame.
Deletei do not know who this person is but i think if he can become famus any one can if they have talent or do something cool
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Jerome's content before reading the article on him, but he seems like he made good content. I think internet fame, and fame overall, is something that's getting easier to achieve, but something that's more difficult than ever to be able to keep. Social media is definitely making things easier for people trying to become famous, but because of how fast paced internet trends can be, it's difficult to keep it. I think if someone works hard enough, though, they can keep their fame, and turn it into a business if they had the desire to.
ReplyDeleteCas I agree 100%. Fame is getting easier and easier to achieve with things like YouTube and Tik tok. But it's also a hard thing to keep. So If you work hard enough than I believe that you can make it into a business and a success.
DeleteYes Tony I agree, basically everyone dies out, but not the legends because legends never die.
DeleteRIP KOBE!!!
I agree with you Cas. Being famous is something that nowadays, is a lot easier to achieve. What's hard is staying famous, and keeping up with what everyone is interested in.
DeleteI 100% agree, it can be hard to keep your fame
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Jerome before reading the article, but he seems like a good content creator. I personally think it's becoming too easy to be famous honestly. People are getting famous over one video and gaining millions of followers. Not everyone can keep their fame though which does take skill to do. I think it can turn into a business if they care enough and work hard enough to keep it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Camryn! I think it's really easy to get famous online, but it's difficult to keep the fame. I think you do have to care about what you're doing to turn it into a business, as well.
DeleteI agree Camryn. I think the biggest challenge in fame, is seeing how well you are able to keep and maintain that fame.
DeleteI have never heard of Jerome until now. I think it is getting easier and easier to get famous. You can post something on Youtube and Tik Tok, and you can get famous overnight. I don't think that getting famous off of an app for the long term, but it is cool for a while.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Going viral is easy but keeping the fame is hard.
DeleteI 100% disagree, because so many people are posting stuff on social media it is harder to be famous then. But I agree with the rest.
DeleteI agree with you Gracie, I think teens are on social media so much that people will see your vids easily.
DeleteThank you Hanna for agreeing with me. Also thank you Haley.
DeleteI agree with you Gracie. People make simple videos all the time and they go wild but if they keep posting what people want to see they could keep the fame.
DeleteI disagree Gracie its not as easy as it sounds, I'm only syaing this because their are so many people trying to get famous so for you to get noticed is pretty slim, but if you do then youll be set.
DeleteI have never heard of this dude before until Mr. Hager told us about him. On social media you can make a lot of money, but most people don't, so I would definitely have another job. Also some people do die out, but some are legends and legends never die out.
ReplyDeleteGood point Ty it is always a good idea to have a backup plan.
DeleteI agree with you Ty. Social media accounts can flop in an instant and it is really risky to try and rely on that for your full income.
DeleteYou make a great point. It is risky putting everything into social media and it is a great idea to have something else to do.
DeleteI agree ty. Some people believe "Its better to burn out, then fade away". Its always good to have a second job.
DeleteThat's a solid point you make gilly, I often wonder what other people do that used to be in vine now do since they don't have an income off of the vine. Maybe Ill see them at burger king
DeleteI like your point a lot ty, great perspective!
DeleteI had never heard of him before this, but he seems funny. I think it's easy to get famous on YouTube or TikTok as long as you're funny and know how to make a good video. That fame won't last unless you can keep it up, though. If you can market it correctly, you can turn it into a way to make a living.
ReplyDeleteI agree Haley! Fame that you get online is hard to keep up with, especially with all of the changing trends. But if you have the right work ethic you can hopefully keep the attention of the people.
DeleteI have never heard of Jerome before. But I do think that it is getting easier to become famous because of social media. but I don't think that just anybody can become famous on social media . I can't think of any reason that it would not last or why it could not be a legitimate business.
ReplyDeleteI agree, never really heard of jerome either and kinda forgot who he is even when mr.haeger told me about him
DeleteI personally had never head of Jerome before reading this article. I think that now it's a lot easier to become famous, simply because almost everyone has access to the internet. And as soon as you publish, let's say a song that you wrote on Youtube, anyone has access to it. While it is easy to become famous briefly, it's a lot harder to keep your fame. If you have the creativity and drive to keep making the kind of content that made you famous in the first place, I think that you can make a career out of it.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Jerome before I read this article. I think what he was able to do on Vine set an example for many people after. I think having these mobile apps really helps in being able to gain popularity. You can post whatever you want, whenever you want for millions of people to see. I also think that really if you put your mind to it, and come up with good quality content, anyone can become famous. Different videos will attract different people and you just have to find your style. I think most of this social media fame tends to be temporary because people eventually get bored, but I think switching it up between social media apps, keeping quality content, and just doing things that appeal to your audience can make the fame be more long term, and actually help you make a business out of it.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of him before. I think that if you put out on the internet what the prople want to see and if the right people see it, then it could go viral. Having these mobile apps do help alot with popularity. If you get one good video out there then people will start looking at your page and you very well could become famous on the internet.
ReplyDeletetoday I feel like you can be famous but not actually be "famous" ther is people that have thousands of followers on instagram,tiktok and other social media platforms but no one really knows who they are, If anything I think the trend is what gets people noticed with this short time of glory and fame. As easy as it comes it can go even easier.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this Max and I honestly could not agree more!
DeleteI agree Max, you're not as much 'famous' as you have a bunch of people that follow you and have absolutely no idea who you are.
DeletePersonally I have never heard of Jerome up until this article, although I do have to say that getting famous in todays day and age is easier than ever. With one or two strikes of luck we can easily blow up. What people don't realize is how much hard work and time you have to put in to continue this success.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ayden, it would definitely be difficult to stay famous.
DeleteI have never heard of Jerome before, but i guess that I've heard of people with similar situations, in that they become famous online. Whether not people become famous has become quite a bit easier just bases off of how many people and faces and videos we see daily through our phones and computers. Because of that, it can also be difficult to keep that fame because online and social media are constantly changing.
