How to Remain Famous After You're a Reality TV Star

The reality TV star is one of the most exciting and increasingly common roles in our society.

If you're lucky enough to become a reality TV star, you may find the party has ended quicker than you thought. You came on the scene, shined in your role and have disappeared as quickly as you emerged. Learn how to retain your fame after your show has ended.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• A role on a reality tv show

1. Go out with a bang. No one ever remembers the quiet, neutral individual on a reality TV show. They remember the outgoing, life-of-the-party troublemaker. Be memorable. Make people excited to watch you again.
2. Keep in touch with network contacts. If you befriended the show's producer and the entire staff, you've done your job well. The key point is to make them remember you.
3. Volunteer to show up at events and nightclubs. It doesn't hurt if you get paid for it, either. Hire an agent and get them to include you in party promotions and advertising.
4. Throw huge bashes. Invite Hollywood celebs and other friends from reality TV shows. Be the talk of the town by throwing some great parties.
5. Be a recurring cast member. Find an alternative reality show to appear on, such as MTV's "The Real World/Road Rules Challenge.". Stay fresh and people will want to hire you on their shows.
6. Do something worthwhile. Start a charity, open a business or appear in a music video. The more visible you are in the world of entertainment, the more infamous you will be.

Tips & Warnings

• Always keep a list of important contacts. Network as much as you possibly can.
• Never break the law or get caught doing the unthinkable. You may just end up in jail or unliked.
