1…How to get famous on Facebook:

Facebook is technically one of the most populated place on the social network and so many just go there to chat and make fun without realizing what they can make out of it so the first step is to

1...Groom your profile: your profile is the first thing people notice when they visit your wall. Most people don’t bother how scattered their profile is they are only interested in sending random messages so you need to design your profile to your best get a nice profile picture, cover photo, and now facebook has introduced profile video allowing you to upload a video to your profile get a nice video this draw people’s attention to your profile

2…Be Upbeat & Positive: Good news spread faster and farther than anything else on social media, which is in contrast to traditional mass media. Psychologists explain that we care how our friends and peers react to what we share. Since we generally want our friends to be happy, we prefer to share something that makes them feel good. Consequently, you will literally be liked a lot more if your updates are upbeat and positive. Frankly, this one shouldn’t come as a surprise as the same is true for how you behave in ‘real life’.

3…Know Who Your Friends or Followers Want to Appeal To: Now this one is a little complicated, so bear with me. People won’t just share something because it impressed them, they also want to impress others with what they share. In other words, if they think a person they really care about will like what they are reading right now, they are much more likely to share it. So try to craft your Facebook updates in a way that make the social cognition regions in your readers’ brains fire! Or in simple terms: appeal to the friends of your friends!

4…Interact with Your Friends & Followers: Essentially a no-brainer, but communicating with someone is more engaging for them than being talked at. Involve people in your updates, ask a question, and let them fill in a blank, have them write a caption for a funny photo, or challenge them to another activity. Telling people something you would like them to do will significantly increase their interaction. Sometimes life is simple.

5…Status Update: The status updates are another vital aspect of becoming famous on Facebook. Do you know that the great SECRET of becoming famous on Facebook is the way you use your Status Update? The more you keep updating your status, the more popular you become. Of course, you can share every small bit happening in life but make sure you don’t boast too much and bore your friends.
Well, let me give you more inputs on how a status should be.
At first, make sure you don’t update only about yourself and other boring things that are self-centered. Every now and then share the latest news, jokes, science facts, medical facts and other cool stuff which people will like. Be the first to break the news.
People should feel you know a lot of things and you are knowledgeable. In short, your friends should feel like sharing or liking your status updates. Your status updates should make them remember you.

6…Like Your Friends photos and status – This is similar to the give and take policy. When you like the photos and status of your friends, they will like your photos and status in return. But don’t just do it randomly, like and comment only if you feel like. This technique will certainly gain you lot more comments and likes.

7… Add more Friends –make more friends on Facebook. The number of friends you have on Facebook matters a lot to your popularity. The more the friends you have, the more is the popularity. So, search for as many friends as you can right from your kindergarten to till date and add them. Add friends of friends. Add family members. Now, whatever you share reaches more people, so you will be obviously more popular

8…Pose with A Celebrity: It’s stupid but it’s true. Get a photo of yourself alongside with any celebrity you can have access to and you’re good for a quick 50 likes, friends request and many more Same goes for you next to some famous location. You “holding up” the Eiffel Tower or kicking it on The Great Wall — that’s comment rocket fuel right there.
9...Ask Compelling Questions: Does anyone know why picture framing is so expensive? What’s the movie every dad should watch with his son? Who’s the greatest athlete of all time and why? People like feeling smart by weighing in with good answers. Questions are a quick way to rack up comment mileage.
10…Watch the Clock: You may quibble but as I see it, Facebook is for weekends, Twitter is for weekdays and Instagram is for dinners out and vacation. If you’re posting on Facebook during the week, you’ll get the biggest reaction between 6 and 9 p.m. EST when people are home from work and web noodling. I also find that Tuesday afternoon around 3 p.m. is a good time. At that hour, people are desperate for M&Ms and a photo of your schnauzer looking “exactly like Roger Sterling from Mad Men.”
In addition
1. Do not over-post and annoy your friends. Let there be a certain limit on the stuff you share every day.
2. Choose an interesting topic or a really stupid and random topic and start a conversation. People enjoy such stuff and get highly involved.
3. Don’t forget, to wish everyone on their birthday!
4. Don’t write rude comments in photos or status of others and yours.
5. Don’t write racist/politic or religion views in your status.

2...How to get famous on twitter:

No doubt twitter is also one of the most populated social media platform

1 Create an intriguing profile: Choosing an interesting picture and bio are crucial to gaining more followers. Underneath all the hashtags and its baby-blue exterior, Twitter is a shallow place in which you really only have one opportunity to capture people’s attention. That said, choose an actual image of yourself for an avatar, preferably one that is appropriate and looks decent at small sizes (400 x 400 pixels). People want to connect with you, not a picture of your cat. As for your bio, make it brief, informative, and a little funny. Humor is often used as a life preserver when navigating the rough waters of Twitter, so making people laugh when they first glance at your profile is always a plus. With Twitter’s newest update, the site places greater emphasis on your cover photo, thus providing another opportunity to make a statement. The newly-adapted cover image is larger and more akin to the header image adorning your Facebook profile, so you don’t necessarily have to choose something that’s recognizable when small. Nonetheless, you’ll want to choose an image that speaks of you using the afforded 1500 x 500 pixels.

2: Focus on something to tweet about:

Sadly, people likely don’t care about what you had for lunch or whether you need a new pair of pants for your upcoming work function. If you have a hobby or passion that really interests you, try focusing your Twitter account on that. Try to make it unique to a certain extent, but avoid pigeonholing your profile to an incredibly small niche community where few followers are likely to tread. Once you’ve settled on a particular interest, follow others who share similar content so you can then connect and speak with their respective followers as well. Again, humor can be your best friend despite Twitter’s industriousness when it comes to news and serious discussions. The majority of people on the web simply peruse Twitter for the entertainment factor and to pass the time, thus popular tweets typically encompass something funny — or anything Justin Beiber says. Don’t force anything, and more importantly, don’t opt for latter category.

3: Gain more followers: If you ask us, the number of followers you have directly equates to your supposed fame. After all, you’ll never be famous without people to read your tweets, to reply to, and others to retweet your online musings. However, there is no set way to gain followers on Twitter. If you haven’t read our article about how wto gain more followers allow me to summarize the most obvious method: Hashtag. When people search for a particular hashtag, they will see your tweet and might decide to follow you based on what you said. At the very least, they’ll see your name. This isn’t an open invitation to place a hashtag before every word in your tweet, but it’s not a bad idea to occasionally hashtag popular words or phrases such as “#love” and “#throwbackthursday.” Just try not to go overboard.

4…follow others: the more people you follow, the more people see your name. If you follow too many people, you might look like a spammer, so it is best to try to keep the numbers fairly close to each other to avoid scaring others away. Follow back people who decide to follow you, that is, assuming you’ve read their bios and you’re sure they’re not spammers, crazy users, and the like. Following other users will give them greater incentive to follow you in return. Exposure is more than half the battle.

5... Keep your followers coming back: There are some basic dos and don'ts that will keep your followers list from shrinking. Use a service that notifies you whenever you're unfollowed. Examine your last few tweets - what did you write that could've turned them off? Keep the following bits of advice in mind:

• Do not use services that allow you to auto DM. Auto DMs frequently cost you followers. Some people get their DMs on their cell phones, and an auto DM can be an annoying reason to have to check your phone, not to mention the cost that might be involved in receiving it.
• Do not radically change the content on Twitter after you've already established a twitter presence. People like consistency and followed you for a reason.

6…Ask questions: One of the best ways to engage your followers and spark a dialogue is to ask questions. Keep the following tips and tricks in mind:

• Acknowledge answers. If you can't respond to each answer individually because there are too many, at least send out a general thanks.
• Stick around to listen. Don't ask a question right before leaving your computer. If people respond, you want to be able to respond to them as quickly as possible, while they're at their computers.
• Repeat your question several times throughout the day so you get in touch with different time zones and schedules. Make sure one of the times is "prime time" when most people are online (usually weekday mornings).
• Ask your followers to retweet your question.

7…Tweet often, but not too often. Every time you post an update, it shows up in the public timeline, exposing your profile to people who don't know you yet. At the same time, tweeting too frequently can annoy your existing followers and make it difficult for them to respond. Stick to one topic at a time and leave some time in between updates for people to respond.

8…Gather followers from other social networks: use Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc. and ask your friends there to follow you on Twitter.

9...Participate: See what's going on between your followers and take part in their conversation. Use many hashtags and follow the trends.

10…Be honest: Yeah it’s cliché, but people usually tell if you’re being insincere — so don’t bullshit them. Give your followers more credit than that. It also won’t be fun if you’re simply writing what you think other people want to read. Try to write accessibly, issuing original tweets people can relate to without repeating anyone else.

In addition

Tips

• Give out quotes that are really good, that make your followers feel good.
• Once you follow 2000 people, you won't be able to follow any more until you gain 2000 followers. You can "clean up" your list with some third party services that will show you who you're following that isn't following you back--unfollow them.
• Tweet reasonable and believable things so that your twitter followers will keep on following up tweet celeb stories, even just stories in general.
• Don't forget Fridays. Friday in the Twitter 'culture' is the day of #ff. Thank your followers that have #ffed you and #ff back. They will appreciate it.
• Show your face. Users will feel more comfortable if your put your real profile picture. They will also be able to make a better personal connection with you.
• If your motive for becoming a Twitter celebrity is so that you can channel more traffic to your blog or website, learn How to Gather and Use Twitter Metrics to measure how "effective" your fame is.
• Become a celebrity in other forms of media. You can just be a radio producer or even a TV host. These media can very efficiently promote you to a wide range of people.

How to be famous on instagram

I Tried to Become an Instagram Celebrity...and Failed Spectacularly

1.    Cross-promote your dedicated hashtag. That's nice that you created a #joesgarage hashtag for your company, but who knows to use it to share content about you? Make sure it's in your profile, but take the game offline and have it printed on your receipts, in print ads, on signage in your store and at relevant events. If you're on radio and TV, direct people to use your hashtag. Integrate with offline by ensuring it's listed on your other social profiles, on your website, and in your email blasts. Don't just hope people will find it.

2.    Get creative with hashtagging. When it comes to Instagram caption ideas, you need to look beyond the one word, obvious hashtags. Sure, you want to use those, too, but mix it up and use hashtags to tell part of your story. Be funny, ironic, or outrageous--just don't be BORING. Collaborative workspace company WeWork is great at this, and they include a fun mix of Instagram content, too.

3.      Make sure your account is public. Private accounts barely ever gain followers because only people you are friends with can find you. People will be unable to view your photos before becoming your follower, making your profile look dull and empty. To make an account public:

• Click on the Profile button in the bottom right corner of the Instagram App.
• Click "Edit My Profile."
• Uncheck "Posts are Private." If you see the green button, then your post is private. Click this to set your account to public.^[1]

4… Use Geotags. Geotag the uploaded photo with a location. Others in your location might be browsing for photos of nearby places, and as a result, your photo is more likely to be seen by those people.

• On Instagram, every defined location has its own page.
• All photos taken at that location are accessible from that page, so anyone taking a photo of that same location will see yours on the location page as well as their own.^[2]
• Make sure to geotag the correct locations to maximize the chances of your photo being liked. Incorrectly geotagged photos can result in negative comments.
• Do not geotag photos taken at your own home as the location will be visible to everyone.

5…Space out your uploads. You might be tempted to think that rapidly filling your Instagram page with a bunch of photos will attract more followers, but quite the opposite is true. If you post too many photos at once, you will end up flooding the home pages of your followers. Non-followers will not want to follow you, and people who do currently follow you may change their mind and stop.

• On average, post no more than one to three photos each day.

6…Filter wisely. Instagram offers a variety of filters, and as a general rule, you should apply them as they fit. There are a few popular filters in particular that may draw new followers to your page quickly. Make sure that the filter actually improves the photo before using it, and use popular filters. The ten most popular filters are

• Earlybird
• X-Proll
• Hefe
• Rise
• Valencia
• Amaro
• Brannan
• Lomo-fi
• Hudson

7…Get descriptive. A picture is worth a thousand words, but you can't skip the words entirely. National Geographic is fantastic at using storytelling alongside their Instagram photos to generate engagement and sharing. While traditional media brands have dropped like flies, NatGeo has thrived across digital and become one of the top brands on Instagram, with over 50 million followers. Like the other Instagram hacks I've included here, this is something you'll want to commit to working into your strategy over time, so don't worry if it feels weird at first. Your writing will improve as you find your Instagram voice.

8….  Approve photo tags before the content shows on your profile. Speaking of giving you greater control over which tagged photos appear on your profile, you can change your Instagram setting so tagged photos won't show unless you approve them first. You'll find this under "Options," "Photos of You," and "Add Manually." I'm trying to think of why any company would NOT want to do this... Nope. I've got nothing. You should absolutely set this up to avoid potentially embarrassing situations.

9... Remember your calls to action! Instagram, like other social networks, is a conversation, not a broadcasting platform. What action do you want people to take on your post? If you don't know that, start over and figure it out. Staples is great at generating engagement by letting people know exactly what they expect them to do with their posts (bonus points if you make it sound fun). Often, that call to action cleverly gets people to share or virally spread Staples' content.

10.. Get local. See what's going on in a specific area (say, your neighborhood, a city you're targeting in ads, or even an event in a certain location) by going to the search page and choosing the Places tab. Then, type in the name of the place to see all geotagged posts for that location

That’s all I can about getting fame on the social networks it is very easy but many people have failed to see it. Believe me if you follower those steps on after the other you will have to see it work.

So in addition to this article, I will give you how to make money out of those social networks and get famous on the internet.
