MY OPRAH EXPERIENCE
When I finally decided to launch Om Aroma (my luxury organic skincare company) in August of 2007, I got an important call one month later.
The caller ID said, “Harpo Studios”. Can you believe it? One month in business and they are calling us?
It was a producer who said that we were being considered for Oprah’s Favorite Things, and some more samples of our entire body line were being requested. (Yes, cocky me… I did send the Oprah Show and O Magazine our
They had very strict specifications, which unfortunately, we could not meet at that time, but it taught me a big lesson.
Was I really ready for Oprah? Did I know what that really meant? Sure, we all dream of that moment, but did I understand what this entails?
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
I know that we need to be ready when opportunity comes knocking, so I went looking for an expert to teach
us.

How to Get Into O Magazine, and Booked on Oprah and Other Top TV Talk Shows (Wednesdays, September 10, 17, 24 from 8-9 PM EST, teleconferencing)Three tips you need to know BEFORE you get on OprahTip #1. Get your systems in order.
When Oprah or other national producers call you you need to be ready for the kind of success a placement like that brings. That means your phone lines, website, staff, and inventory need to be set up to handle huge volume in a short amount of time.Tip #2. Have a 2 minute demo video up on your website.
When producers screen for guests they need to know if you’re mediagenic. Your video gives them that answer in less than 30 seconds. If you’re not well-dressed, well-spoken, knowledgeable about your subject and lively they’ll probably pass on you and find someone who is. Don’t delude yourself that you’re the only expert in your subject area. TV producers want guests who their audiences respond to visually and who they can respect and relate to.Tip #3. Think like a producer.
You may have an idea in mind about what kind of show you want to star in. But a producer may have a totally different notion. Put yourself in her shoes and try to imagine how your topic could play out in other ways. So, for example if you propose a show on how to buy a house with no money down in this foreclosure ridden economy, another take on it would be how to avoid no money down scams when purchasing a house and what to look for in the legal deals. You would offer the show from both of those perspectives.
