Social Media With the explosion of the Internet overnight success stories are popping up everywhere.
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, Google and countless other sites are making millionaires daily.
The latest tip I wanted to share is that lately it seems like YouTube is the way to go.
If you have a talent or a story to tell you should be using YouTube to showcase it.
Instant celebrity and stardom has been a result for hundreds of people.
If you turn on the daytime talk shows, or even the news they are always featuring the latest hot videos of the moment.
If you don't believe me, let me give you a couple of stories to inspire you.

She has been featured on Katie Couric's Eye to Eye show and many others.
