The Making of a Vine Celebrity


The Making of a Vine Celebrity

There has NEVER been a time in the history of the planet when people had the ability to become instant "celebrities" as you can today. Think about it: Philip DeFranco, Rhett and Link, Justin Bieber - a person can be "discovered" instantly, just by posting a video - even a SIX SECOND video.

Read this article about a current Vine "celebrity", named Jerome Jarre. Take a look at the videos that are linked in the article also:

"Jerome Jarre: The Making of a Vine Celebrity"

Not only has this guy become famous in an instant, it looks like he's not just a "flash in the pan" because is seems as though he understands how to use social media apps to promote himself and other things around him. [Update: He and everyone else IS a "flash in the pan" as far as Vine is concerned - since they're pulling the plug on Vine!]

Had you heard of Jerome before reading the article? What do you think of what he's done on Vine?  What do you think about this kind of opportunity with mobile apps, such as Snapchat? Can anybody do it? Will such fame last, and is it something that can be made into a legitimate business?

HERE is his YouTube channel.

  1. Yes I have, I think he has done a good thing with the use of Vine. I believe that it is possible to become famous and do a lot in your life from these apps. I think that anyone has a chance of doing it and it is possible for someone to become popular. I don't think the fame from becoming famous or popular on an app will last forever but there is a possibility that it could last longer than everyone else's. I think that if you're serious about something and if people who follow you are serious, there is a chance where it could become a business.

    2. Yeah I agree with you anything could happen

  2. Yes i've heard of Jerome his vines are very funny. I think that mobile apps have given many people around the world opportunities such as Cameron Dallas and Nash Grier. Both of them became very famous over vine, youtube, and many other social media sites. For some the fame might last a long time, but for others it doesn't. Such as the youtube channel O2L ended a while back, but when it was active they were very famous but sooner or later their group of friends all quit the youtube channel. If you have the passion to make something into a business I think that anyone could do it.

    1. I agree, It is a great way to make money, and to get famous. I don't know if anyone can do it though. It has to take some acting and not anyone can do that.

    2. You made a good point, sometimes the fame doesn't last forever. Especially if you go in with other people and they decide they don't want to do it anymore.

  3. No I haven't I think you could become famous with these apps and make it last if you are creative and come up with new things all the time if you are popular it will probably last a very long time if you seem important and have the right people you could come up with a business but that will always depend on the circumstances.

    1. i totally strongly agree with you, you never know if the videos are funny or not they could be funny to you but maybe not other people.

  4. I have heard of Jerome, and I've found his vines mildly entertaining. I think that social media has given many opportunities to people to become very famous. I mean, there are enough people I can think of off the top of my head that are still currently relevant, and I think it definitely can be made into legitimate businesses.

    1. They are probably legitimate businesses, but it's not going to last forever because other apps will keep coming and eventually the will go out of business

    2. yea sure they definitely could become legitimate business, but how long will it last.

  5. I have heard of him, I thought they were funny and entertaining. The internet is a great area to expand creativity. There is thousands of people who have gotten famous from this. It is a good opportunity for businesses, and to make money. I feel like some people don't know what to do now that Vine is closing.

    3. I agree, Vine was a very popular app and many people became famous from it.

    4. I agree too, the fact that vine is closing is going to leave a lot of people confused, but I'm sure they'll try and take it to other websites like Twitter, Youtube or Facebook.

  6. i haven't heard of this guy before, and i think he is probably doing something good by being entertaining. But you could make a living off of doing stuff online, but it'll be extremely hard to do so, and not everyone will be able to pull it off, and if you do, your fame won't last to long.

    1. Yea, I agree, the online Business is very unstable and hard to keep with.

  7. No, I haven't heard of him, but it's crazy how he was able to become famous from 7 second videos. With new social medias a things, it's much easier for people with hidden talent to become popular. Also, the fact that anyone could use these apps and possibly become famous gives people many opportunities.

  8. I have never heard of this guy, and I think opportunities like that are great for society because they get people jobs and america needs all the help we can get. I don't think it will last, because the apps they are using will eventually go away.

    2. sure apps go away but the people can move to a different platform/app and still be successful.

  9. I hadn't heard of Jerome until reading that article, but I think what he's done on vine is pretty impressive. I think it is amazing that social media has grown so much that just about anybody with some talent can go out and make themselves into a celebrity. The internet can help you get out there, but only the people with a true talent will last and turn it into a business. If you're just mediocre the fame won't last forever.

    3. i agree with what you said

    4. Agreed, people have to keep creating new things to keep the public interested. Most people are one hit wonders and get forgotten in a year but some people can keep the popularity going.

  10. I've seen some of his vines before but they never really caught my interest, yes they were funny but yet a bit weird, I like it? What he's doing is entertaining to anyone that watches his stuff, he could turn one persons day with just 7 seconds, wether its a smile or a laugh. Stuff like this is possible to pull of fame but just like everything else, it may not last. Just think, Vine is already getting shut down and on snapchat it may be a bit harder to do this stuff but it could still be entertaining. Nothing lasts forever, that much is true.

  11. I haven't heard of him but I think you could become famous easily with those kind of apps. I think there's a lot of apps that could make you popular like YouTube and Snapchat. In Jerome's vine he looked very happy and it seemed like he enjoys what he does and other people could be famous just like him if they actually wanted to.

    3. I disagree. Because i think its dumb how you can become famous in 2 days in one 7 second video.

  12. I have not heard of him, I think its crazy how someone can come so famous so fast by just playing a couple second videos. I have watched one video that he has done recently and i honesty don't think, its like amazing or cool how some people say, its actually kind of weird.

  14. I've never watched his vines didn't even know he was a person. I feel like he's not that funny but thats my opinion. but I think you shouldn't get famous off of a 6 second video.

  15. I have not heard of Jerome, but I think he is a great example for other teenagers who find themselves producing Vines or You Tube videos. He shows that you can take the smallest, easiest thing, and make a career or life out of it. I do not think most people can manage to be great video producers, but some people are just natural comedians.

    2. Yes, some people think they are funny, but they're not really. You just have to receive the audiences criticism and use it to improve.

    3. yes, some people are just naturally talented with this stuff and some people just aren't.

  16. I remember watching some of his vines in the beginning of Vines popularity. A lot of people have become famous from the app, for an example, Liza Koshy started with creating 6 second videos and has become extremely popular. It's crazy how an app can create such fame.

    2. Yes, I agree, but I think it takes a lot of practice for your Vines or whatever you are making to look and sound great, I am sure Jerome had to redo lots of vines multiple times to make them look good.

    3. well it really is quite simple you make a video a talent producer sees it likes it and contacts you than you meet talk about what could be in store for you and, your hitched! The same thing happened to Dylan O'Brien, Justin Bieber and Fouseytube.

  18. No I have't heard of him before but, I think its great what he has done and is doing. i believe the apps really help a lot. I think everyone who sets a goal has a good chance of achieving it if they truly want it. I think the fame will last as long as he keeps the people engaged. Yes, I think it can be made into a business.

    1. Having that kind of motivation as Jarre has will keep him alive in this social media realm.

  19. No, I have never heard about him until reading this. I really don't what to think about what he's done mostly cause i truly don't care for this kind of stuff. I think if you try at pursuing this you might be able to but i don't think that this kind of fame will last forever.

  20. I have kinda heard of the guy before, but just by his picture. I feel what he is and has done has made a positive impact in people's lives. I do feel though, that this is not for everyone, and his talent is something special, especially when he has found alternatives to keep his image alive, which some of these "Viners" might not be able to do.

    1. I agree, that it is not easy for just anyone to go and make Vines like his. Jerome is very talented at what he does. I am not saying he's the best or anything but he is pretty creative and I don't think most people would be able to do all the stuff he can do on Vine with his talent.

      Delete
  21. Yes I have seen Jerome Jarre on Vine many times when I used to have the app. My opinion is that he has made some pretty cool vines and they are creative, I think that you have to know how to use the app very well to be able to come up with cool ideas on social media apps. I don't think that everyone can do it because if you don't know how to use the app then it won't be that cool of whatever you are doing on that app. I don't think that fame will last unless you take it to a whole new level by doing what celebrities do, not just what you keep doing. But I don't think that many people have chances of getting famous by apps like Vine, Youtube, etc., because so many people try to get famous only so few do succeed in this. I think if it's in the moment they can make it into a business when you create Vines and stuff but soon it gets old and your business is going to die because look at Pokémon Go, it was a huge sensation for about 2 months maybe longer, and I'm not saying that all people don't play it but very few do. Which shows that these things don't last long.

  22. I have never heard of this guy before, but i do think what he does could be a great job for some people maybe not all but many people that do youtube have made a lot of money from it and many have become famous from youtube and vines so if your lucky maybe someone will see talent in you.

  23. yes i have heard of him, i used to use vine a lot and i washed a lot of vines, but some people are just naturally good with making videos and stuff like that, and some people just aren't, It matters who the person is. These things don't usually last long, when it was anew app everyone had to have it, but after awhile a new app came out and then everyone forgot about it.

  24. I had never heard of Jerome before reading this article, I think it's kind of cool after reading the article. With more types of social media like Snapchat, Musically, Instagram, and Youtube a lot of vloggers and social media celebrities have more diverse ways of putting out content, and yes anyone can become famous through social media. Only time can tell if this kind of fame will last, but for more popular social media celebrities this is their way of making a living now and it's more than just a hobby.
