    Top 5 ways to be an Internet success

    To succeed online, you must become more than a brand—you must become a meme.

    By Julia Allison

    5. Creative tenacity.

    Just keep going. And going. And going. There really is no expiration date on the Internet—there is no "too young" or "so yesterday." As long as your wireless has a signal, you're still in the game. And that's really the best part of the Web: It's uniquely suited to both wannabes and has-beens. You're only ensured a one-hit viral wonder if you sign off.

      Sorry that I'm just now catching up. And that I can't write all my thoughts in one whole box. Twitter is de-hydrating my thoughts into bite-size pieces.

      OMG, Julia, this is the funniest (and most practical!) thing I've read from you yet. You crack me up! Thanks!

      I've been a fan of the meme concept ever since I first read about it in Richard Dawkins book. Great way to get exposure and best of all there's a process to it.

      Brilliant once again. Thank you Julia Allison. Not only do you dominate the "meme;" you are the definition. You make it all look effortless, yet your passion and hard work do not go unnoticed. You inspire me and intrigue me. Thanks for the article, I always wondered how you made it happen.

      Julia, I've given you a lot of flak over the past few months, but truth be told: you fascinate me. You annoy me, you make me laugh, but at the end of the day - you ARE interesting. Now my question to you that will be obvious: what do you sell exactly? And isn't it a LOT easier if you look as pretty as you are?
