Sondra C has gained a measure of fame by being interviewed, about wikiHow, on the radio, TV, in a major and local newspaper and a magazine. Her articles written on wikiHow are read all over the world, and reproduced in other languages. You too can become famous, speaking about wikiHow and your involvement in it.

Once upon a time it was said that each person would probably have at least 15 minutes of fame in their lifetime. That trend of thought was prior to the Internet becoming a major part of everyone's lives. Thanks to the Internet that fame can be long lasting, easy to attain, and remain forever. Our fame can remain long after we ourselves are gone. One way of making this happen is through wikiHow, read on to find out how.

[edit] Steps

Join wikiHow, just to look around out of curiosity. Stay a little longer, and check out the aspects of what makes this site different from others. Be confused as you try to check out other articles, but feel relaxed as you are welcomed by real people.
Read the rules and the policies, and get the courage to do at least one edit on wikiHow. Be bold, and remember that there is nothing that can't be changed on a wiki.
Realize that you are no longer just sitting home alone, at your computer. Look around at the names of those on the screen. Read what they say, and how they talk to each other. Realize that you are now a part of a community, and that the people are from all over the world. Get to know the people, and allow them to know you.
Write more, edit more, and volunteer to help as needed with the knowledge that every edit you improve will help wikiHow grow into a larger and better, free how-to manual, as stated in our mission. Feel powerful now, as you start editing more, and writing more articles. Watch your contributions grow little by little, and become aware of the 'blogs that headline articles that you started, and see them written in foreign languages. Fall in love with the concept of a wiki, the site, and the people.
Be interviewed by a reporter from a newspaper, who is somehow interested in how you got involved with wikiHow and why you volunteer so much of your time to improving the site. Talk to an editor of one of the top three magazines in another country who has also heard about you and wikiHow.
Realize once you have become famous, "everyone" will read what you write. Understand that your name will be known to anyone who happens to read the multitude of how to articles, that help them in either surviving a death, or making coleslaw. Understand that all this came from your being bold, and editing just one article.
Walk proudly and understand that this type of fame will last more than 15 minutes. It will last longer than even you last. Your name will forever be on the Internet.

[edit] Tips

Be patient. It takes a while until you get used to the format, and workings of wikiHow.

Read the WikiHow Manual. Read about formatting, and editing.
Write about things you are familiar with and that you care about.
Answer requests for responses to questions sent in by users.
Don't forget that wikiHow is not here to make you famous. It has a mission, and you are supposed to help with reaching that goal.
