With the emergence of the internet, websites have needed to stay on top of their game in order to attract viewers. Websites such as YouTube and Hulu have dominated the media world, and sometimes have the potential to make video stars into household names. FunnyorDie.com, which originally launched in 2007, has been making headlines for their quirky spoofs that feature the likes of some big name stars.

The founders of FunnyorDie.com could teach those with careers in marketing a thing or two about how to attract viewership - through product placement - according to Fast Company. Individuals who are interested in having a successful website may want to consider having a marketing background, as they could learn the fundamentals of attracting an audience.

Funny or Die creates videos with any person or organization that approaches them with an idea - as long as there's humor involved. The website does not discriminate against any products, and has had several videos in the past that cover social issues.

Careers in marketing can be stretched into a number of areas, which could be why the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that marketing positions will increase by 14% by 2018.
