> If you want to be really famous you only have to click here.

1. "you only have to click here" - you can remove that. Your audience knows how the internet works. They know that in order to receive more information, they have to click. It's obvious.
2. "If you want to be" What do you mean, _if you want_? Your audience **must** know about your amazing secret. There is no choice for them to make here. Tell them that.

> The secret to become famous you must know.

You could also make this more urgent by inciting some paranoia. Claim that there is some conspiracy which wants to keep that information secret and you are providing the extremely rare chance to learn about it:

> The secret to become famous celebrities don't want you to know.
