Hello World!

Welcome to my new blog, Internet Famous, my personal e-fame experiment. Here I will be blogging about my attempt to become famous via the internet, and share some tips I learn along the way, so you too can put them to use.

You probably have some questions, like:

Who the hell are you?

You will come to know me as Raivyn, a musician and part time blogger. My main two blogs are Idiot's Guide to Blogging and Don't Be Silent. I also have accounts on Buzznet, MySpace, and Twitter.

If you'd like to get to know me on more of a personal level, I suggest you create an account on both Buzznet and Twitter (if you don't have one already), and add me to your friends. You'll find I'm a very well-rounded individual, with a lot of aspirations.

I'm a dreamer, poet, fashion and jewelry designer, photographer, philosopher, entertainer, socialite, and so much more. "Average" is not a word that describes me. I may sound a little egotistical right now, but I promise you, I am not. I am one of the most cool-headed people you will ever meet.

Why would I want to listen to what you have to say?

Because I get it. Self promotion is one of my 'talents'. I'm not sure if it was something I was born with or I learned growing up, but it's one of those things I am naturally good at. I'm one of those people who can walk into a venue when a professional band is playing and as soon as I show my face, I not only capture the attention of the band, but everyone else in the area. Everyone wants to come chat with me, and they tell their friends, and they look for me on MySpace.

Ever hear the phrase "like attracts like"? It's so true. If you're a 'big dog', you will attract other 'big dogs'. I've lost count of the famous people who have come and chatted me up out of their own free will, while they had lots of other people waiting to see them. I've lost count of the number of times I've hung out with a band on their tour bus, an invitation I never asked for. I've lost count of the phone numbers these people have given me. It's crazy how much attention I get just for being in the right place at the right time. I can teach you my secrets.

Sounds too good to be true.

Something like this does come with a tremendous amount of responsibility, but it's good to learn how to handle yourself in front of large groups of people. And there will be haters, but that just teaches you to have a thick skin. As long as you're cool and down to earth, you could live the life of your dreams. If you're immature and egotistical, fame can ruin your life. So yes, there is a risk involved.

I hope you will join me on my journey, whether you're chasing e-fame or not. I enjoy the company. :)
