At least 7 out of 10 Publicity Hounds who beg me to help them get booked on “Oprah” or other big TV shows have no business being there.<\/p>\nAt least 7 out of 10 Publicity Hounds who beg me to help them get booked on “Oprah” or other big TV shows have no business being there.<\/p>\n
Either their topic isn’t a good fit for the show, or they can’t articulate a convincing pitch in 15 seconds or less.\u00a0 Yet they continue to flood the producers with lousy pitches, thus labeling themselves as\u00a0pests.<\/p>\n
Here’s my #1 tip for getting onto “Oprah” and other big TV shows like the “Today” show and “Good Morning America.”\u00a0 Your topic MUST be a good fit with the audience of the show you’re pitching.<\/strong><\/p>\n That means business topics that\u00a0appeal only to managers in the executive suite are a long shot on “Oprah.”\u00a0\u00a0If you’re a stockbroker, forget about pitching a segment\u00a0 that recommends your top five stock picks in 2009.\u00a0And if you’re an author, don’t even THINK about pitching your fiction book—or any other book for that matter to any of the big shows.\u00a0 That’s\u00a0a big red flag that screams “PEST!”\u00a0<\/p>\n Not sure about which shows want which topics? The best place to learn that information is at their websites. Sometimes,\u00a0you can see clips of past shows. But you won’t always be able to find what you’e looking for\u00a0quickly,\u00a0or the information is incomplete.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Then, she’ll explain the three big secrets for doing it the right way.\u00a0 You’ll also hear from other veteran TV producers and surprise guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n Register for the call<\/a>\u00a0at one of two times—2 or 7 Eastern Time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Note: If these times aren’t convenient for you, please recruit a friend or family member to listen and take notes. You won’t want to miss\u00a0the strategy a husband-and-wife team used to land a seven-minute degment on the “Today” show, and case histories of four other authors and entrepreneurs and the strategies they used to get on big shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At least 7 out of 10 Publicity Hounds who beg me to help them get booked on “Oprah” or other big TV shows have no business being there.
