Bo Burnham, Dane Cook and Lily Allen’s careers benefitted from their web presence on Myspace and YouTube. They leveraged their internet success to pursue other opportunities while continuing their internet engagement. Good content and talent will make anyone stand out online. Persistence, among other things, is also key.

I wanna do a Movie with Dane Cook + Jim Carrey in it*
;))
Wow, I didn’t realize Dane Cook’s origins on the web. Very interesting. Thanks.
I actually found out that Dane Cook first became internet successful in an article in the Rolling Stone Magazine in 2005. He was the Bo Burnham of today then and look at him now. I have an interesting comment about him that Jimmy says best. brb while I go get it.
Got it. This comes from @jimmyrabbitte
There’s no question that Dane built a sizable following through the internet, but I don’t think that’s why many comedians have a problem with him. I think the problem is that he steals his material from other, better comedians. Which is too bad, because his early material was fresh and (somewhat) funny.
I’m hesitant to attribute Lily’s initial success to anything but nepotism. She’s definitely found a way to stay in the public eye, but the first boost onto a label was no Cinderella Story.
I didn’t know that about Dane Cook or Lily Allen. It just goes to show that If you’re good enough you can be very successful if your market yourself in the right places on the internet.
Thanks for another informative episode.
Why did your mods permanently ban me from your room? I didn’t say nothing bad. I requested to be unbanned 2 weeks ago and you aren’t lifting a finger to help. It was a good comment. Thanks. Now I won’t be going into your room anymore. What’s the point.
Loading the chat room…
Sorry, you are banned from this chat room.
sorry working on it. i removed my mods
hey sarah do you need anything changed in your wiki entry? ill be happy to change it for you!
im posting here just in case you cant read my post on your stream on justin.tv :)
Hey, you can update my wikipedia to include this news story: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/80817
I love my sponsors!!!
hey sarah, go ahead and check out the wiki now. i sent you an email but im not sure if you got it or not. :D if you need anything changed please dont hesitate to ask!
Good work, and nice edition. Informative for me!
Thanks liesforliars!
Oscar, your so sweet. Thanks a million.
@everyone else what can i do to make my videos better?
Does the carpet match the drapes????!?!!??!
huh?
You welcome linda, im watching you in JTV but the video is cutting =).
But… Bon apettit anyway =P
the chat is crap now over there.
Yes,its true.
I got rid of my mods and look what happened. Poo!
Thanks Sarah i hope dont let u down! =)
:)
i clicked on that link too… boo :( hopefully it doesnt harm my computer. i couldnt get online after that. did anything happen sarah?
It made me shut down my computer. I don’t think I lost any data, but I’m not sure yet. :(
thats too bad. the bad thing was that i dont have security software installed on my laptop so i dont know if anything happened
Hi Sarah. First of all I’m not mad about the mod situation, but it’s funny that I and a couple others have been mods for over a year and have not had any problems up until recently. I know you have to make it fair, but remember what happened with that link. Those are the things you maybe getting negitive comments about in the future. Mods do serve a purpose.
Oh, and it was kind of nice to watch you instead of the chat.. lol Take care. :)
Nice and interesting work. I like it.
Hi funtime7777 you are right about the link. That was crude. I’m going to need my mods back, but I want to make sure that all my mods double check to make sure they are silencing the right person. Too many are getting kicked out as the wrong person because the chat moves too fast. I need to make it fair to everyone and bring back mods who can do it right. Ya know?
@liesforliars do you recommend a security software for us to use?
I totally agree Sarah, good luck. :)
Hey Sarah, we use Nod32 for our online team and it keeps both mail and web baddies away. Is the best we have found to bounce trojans, bad web-scripts, malware etc etc Here’s a link:

Someone else might have alternatives.
I should add, we use Nod32 on the team’s PCs. I’m using macbook pro here but don’t use Nod32 on this machine.
Hey Sarah, I’d recommend Kaspersky AntiVirus, and Sygate Personal Firewall for Windows. If thats a Mac, you can use Norton AntiVirus or Norton Internet Security. Just activate the firewall and auto-update your AntiVirus software.
Check the Zone Alarm Firewall by zone labs, to protect from intruders, and Ad Aware for the Spyware. Sorry Sarah, but you are impredecible hehe =).
norton 360 FTW Sarah
I’ll investigate these. So you know, I am posting these comments on the home page. Thanks!
Just a note re Norton, we have always found it slows PCs down. Has that been the experience of others too?
I’d like to know since I’m a PC and Mac user. I like both, but want to know what is best for my computers.
Avira AntiVir Personal, Ad-Aware and Sygate Personal Firewall are very good softwares and they are free. Avira AntiVir is one of the bests, Sygate Firewall asks permission for everything that wants to connect to the internet. Kaspersky Antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall are also very good alternatives.
Awesome!
Hi Sarah,
The reason people are complaining about your mods is becuase you are a more of a celebrity than most people on JTV. And people are getting permanently banned instead of time-outs. There was no excuse for accidentally getting banned because sometimes your room is in slow-mode. Sorry, but I have a few friends still are banned from your room for nothing and are upset. Profiles are tied to the IP address, so even if you change your name, you still are banned from the chat. Sarah, you need to go to your ban list in your profile and clear your ban list, otherwise, you still might get complaints. Have a nice day
Oh I have a ban list? I’ll go look for it. In the meantime, watch this video I just favorited:
I agree with Cihan, Avira AntiVir Personal is the best freely available system I’ve found too. I found it a little light on trojans tho. That’s where Ad-Aware and even Spy Blaster used in tandem help keep trojans away. In the end tho, we switched to Nod32 because a few problems snuck through the net. Have been without a sneeze since (two years now)
I don’t see a ban list.
Woooo someone send some meds to EmptysAwesome! Ha!
In your channel go to settings/Channel/Chat–banned list.
You can ban words too, to unban type /unban (username)
Also u can ban disagradable words! ;-)
Oh no!! you with mustache no pls! who made that? grrr!
Ha! It was Walt!
Ha! Good nights! ;)
you too
I don’t agree with a comment on YouTube. You don’t need to loosen up. Your presentation is very good. I like seeing your face expressions. You can also add extra fun to make your videos better.
Yea, I’ll be adding some extra fun in my next video. I totally know what he means tho. It’s the desk… yea…
Hey Sarah, your presentation is natural to yourself. And you are already mixing it around from what I can see. Like your recent interview in the park or forest. That was ALIVE and really cool. And sometimes the desk is vital too! Just a note of reassurance really… you are doing pretty darn good! Your audience would suggest that’s the case too. See U!
Before I start talking is anyone in this chat room?
WELL if not I can say that Dane cook is hottt and I wanna fuck him
I get updates for new comments to this post so you know it’s not a chat
