The Top 5 Ways to Become Famous Overnight

Honestly, I don't care too much about the readership of my blog. I constantly tell myself that if I fret too much about it, I will drift away from the initial passion to blog, which is indefinitely not what I wanted.

There was even a point of time that I wanted to shut down this blog and start a private one - it was when there were too much of advertisements on my blog and I seemed to lose the reason for blogging to earn money through it.

Come to think of it, a high amount of readers and plentiful of advertisements, CAN BE two totally different things. But they tend to conflate and work hand-in-hand in most popular blogs.

I never believe in blogging for the sake of money. Well *erm* maybe during ad-related posts, I might come across as a sell-out at times, but all of the blogging rights reside in me, whether the certain product is good or not. Obviously, I would NEVER do an advertorial or go to an event for ZINC BAGS! (Oh if you don't know, I loathe Zinc bags. I think NTUC plastic bags look better than them.)

Anyway, ever since blogs hit the shores, there has been an increasing amount of people who simply wanna get famous through it. And I find it so ever amusing on the different ways and methods bloggers used to increase readership.

Well, here's my top 5 ways of how I think bloggers can instantly become famous over night.

#1. Write about topics that are sensitive in your countries. Particularly in Singapore, racism & politics.

For eg.,
You (insert a race) are so smelly!!!
What is this pathetic (insert a race) man (again, it have to be a (insert that race again)!!!!) doing in the train?

#2. Make insensitive remarks at other people's plight, à la Sharon Stone who says the earthquakes in China are karma.

Or even better, blame it on the people like what this Liaoning girl did.

#3. Patent a very general way of doing things and later sue people who does it the same way.

Refer to DK's Top 10 Patent list!
"10) Method of walking by alternative movement of the left and right lower limp
9 ) Method of selecting an item on a Personal Computer by a mouse click
8 ) Method of consuming nutrition thru mouth for the purpose of providing nutritional needs[...]"

#4. Go to jail, jail break via the toilet ventilation window. Preferably to walk with a limp!

Not only you'll get famous overnight, they'll throw in free makeovers:


Free posters:


Free MMS:


And you'll be starred in your very own tv series!

#5. Do it the Edison Chen way. NEED I SAY MORE?

Disclaimer: I don't hold any responsibility of any consequences that you may face after following these ways okay! Heh!

Anyway, WHAT IS SWEETS.SG?!
