Depending on their rise to fame, internet celebrities may reach their audiences in different ways. '''Some people write journals or blogs, some make YouTube or TikTok videos, others post frequently on Instagram or Twitter. The Internet has made fame accessible to and attainable for the general public.'''

In some cases, people might rise to fame through a single viral event or viral video, and become an Internet meme. For example, Zach Anner, a comedian from Austin, Texas, gained worldwide attention after submitting a video to Oprah Winfrey's "Search for the Next TV Star" competition. Viral videos from internet celebrities could entail a funny event happening in the moment, a popular new dance, or even a post on Twitter, such as the "Alex from Target" tweet in 2014.

'''Many other people build their followings slowly over time, sharing their daily life and/or passions with people. Families such as the LaBrant Family and The Bucket List Family share their children, life experiences, and travels with their followers.'''

Although multiple studies offer slightly differing views, internet celebrities, or influencers, can be broken into five or six different categories: Nano, Micro, Mid-tier, Macro, Mega, and Celebrity.
