15 Minutes of Fame: Becoming a Star in the YouTube Revolution

   

Since its launch in 2005, YouTube has become the single most popular website, with the number of videos growing 20% to 6.1 million in one month (from July to August 2006). In just January 2008 alone, nearly 79 million unique visitors logged on to YouTube to watch over 3 billion videos. YouTube is pop culture's main hub, helping artists get noticed by millions, publicizing humorous family escapades caught on tape, and serving as this year's most innovative presidential campaign strategy tool.

How does YouTube work–and better yet, how can it work for those looking to break into entertainment? A new book, 15 Minutes of Fame: Becoming a Star in the YouTube Revolution serves an all–inclusive guide to discovering YouTube. Author and well–known Hollywood producer Frederick Levy shares his YouTube knowledge by explaining in step–by–step detail what it takes to get noticed online, as well as the basics of how to maximize the site's features.

Levy introduces beginners to YouTube, explaining vocabulary, equipment needs, and how to upload video from a mobile phone. For the more advanced video producer, Levy offers ideas and tips that help videos get noticed on the internet.
