Meanwhile, you can certainly become *famous* by using whatever talent you have for the league community! Check out the top ten ways below:

Methods For Success

Be Good

Climb to High Divisions

Starting with the most obvious one, climbing to a high division will get you valuable facetime on the streams of popular players. By getting your name onto eyeballs, you will quickly start gaining recognition, especially if you are particularly good. If you manage to earn the admiration of a popular streamer, they might even pull you onboard for some dynamic queue!

Be Entertaining

Stream Games

If you feel like you are charismatic but not quite good enough, you can also stream to get recognition. Anyone platinum or above can easily gain viewership if you have a good setup and are able to do it on a regular basis. Interaction with your viewers is a must, and if you are good enough at multi-tasking, I have seen silver and even bronze players stream with great success.

Make YouTube Videos

Nothing says, "I'm famous now" like a viral video. If you make a sick montage or even a quick clip showing something funny or witty, you might gain recognition quickly as your video zooms around at the speed of the internet.

Meanwhile, if you consistently put out great content, some of the top streamers make quite a hefty buck (enough to have quite a decent living doing so).

Post Witty Comments on YouTube Videos

This one's not really a money-making platform, but posting witty comments on all the top viral League videos has netted some players a bit of success before in the past. If you are able to gain enough up votes consistently, you may be able to use your commenting fame as a platform for more followers. 

Be Smart

Work On Websites

This one is probably the slowest method of generating a following (I can attest to that), but if you like writing out your thoughts, a website may be your best outlet. Meanwhile, if you are good at programming, developing a new and exciting feature can quickly escalate you to the very top of the web (see champion.gg for example).

If you are not web savvy but good at writing, being a freelance writer can also net you some fame and may be a good source of revenue.

Be Helpful

Comment on Sites

If you are not much self-starting writer but like to participate in discussions, commenting on sites (such as http://www.nerfplz.com *wink*) can also lead to a good amount of fame around the web. By being helpful answering the questions of other people, you can gain a reputation for being an excellent source of information and segue into streaming. 

Twitter King

There are a couple league personalities that solely rely on twitter to keep their popularity high, often sending hundreds of league related tweets a day. As a media outlet, Twitter works better than Facebook for this purpose if you can keep up a steady flow of information and hashtags. 

Be Creative

Draw League Art

If words are not your thing but art is, creating art and/or custom pieces can lead to excellent fame around the web. If you are especially good, it may even land you a job at Riot or on their front page during the creation contests!

Make League Comics

If you are not really into writing, but into art and a little into writing, quite a few summoners make League comics nowadays. However, there is always room for new and exciting comics. If you are able to keep up a daily output, it could be quite an excellent fountain of page views as well. 

Be Sexy

Cosplay Sensation

Lastly, if you have the looks and the costume design skill to back it up with, being a cosplay star does have its perks. It is a bit country dependent for how successful you will eventually become, but as they say, if you are good enough you can accomplish anything. 

Conclusions

There are HUGE varieties of methods for becoming an internet sensation. Some of them may make you very wealthy, whereas some may only make you notorious. However, depending on what your goals are, there are certainly varieties of avenues you can take.
