If This Sounds Like You, Continue On

Whether you are an author, entrepreneur, expert, philanthropist, community activist, non-profit, aspiring author, or person with an amazing story to tell, O The Oprah Magazine could put you, your business, product or cause on the proverbial map….

If you know what the editors want, how to approach them, and how to package your story, your writing or your product properly.

Sell Yourself Effectively

Whether you know it or not, you are selling yourself, your story or your product. Many of the successful products and people that are featured in O are coupled with great stories that sell themselves. It could be an event that comes alive in the telling, a fascinating world view, a moving incident, an unusual series of experiences, a success story fraught with trouble, a product that inspires, a life story of overcoming great odds to triumph in the end.

You’re not just selling a thing or idea you’re selling a feeling, a lifestyle, a way of looking at the world, a life worth living. But whatever you are selling it needs to be in alignment with is important to Oprah. Period. In Get Into O Magazine I’ll show you how to make sure that whatever it is you have is packaged in such a way that shows you understand what’s close to Oprah’s heart.

Synergy Between Super Soul Sunday and
O, The Oprah Magazine

What many people don’t realize is that getting into O, The Oprah Magazine, or chosen for Oprah’s favorite things, could be the first step to getting on Super Soul Sunday. While the staff of the magazine and the TV show have different themes those themes and subject matters often overlap and complement each other.

I’m going to tell you a secret that most people don’t know…There is a synergy between O Magazine and Oprah’s show. Getting featured in the magazine may be the very thing you need to get invited to be on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. It can be a simple stepping stone to get on the show. Sometimes a person gets on the show first and then is featured in the magazine and vice versa. Sometimes this happens over a period of a few months or years. That part is a mystery.

What is not a mystery is the fact that getting into Oprah’s Magazine can mean publicity on a grand scale. Not only is the magazine read by 2.65 million people, (mostly women), it’s estimated that 6 people read every issue so you’re actually reaching over 18 million potential clients.

Are You Registering This?

18 MILLION POTENTIAL CLIENTS

In addition to an enormous and loyal readership it’s a magazine that doesn’t get thrown away. So you don’t just get a mad rush of business once, but for many months. The people we interviewed verified this when sales rushed in month after month after month, sometimes creating a geyser of sales for years.

Get Calls and Orders From All Over the World

There are many areas of the magazine where you might be featured, profiled, quoted or reviewed. One woman, participating in a teleclass I gave, reported that although she had been interviewed almost a year before, the story had just appeared in the magazine that month. She received calls for her services from all over the world and her phone was ringing off the hook. And she was just one of many people interviewed for the story, not even the central figure.

Like Winning The Academy Award

A woman entrepreneur we profiled, whose product was featured in O The Oprah Magazine, noted that getting in O “is sort of like winning the Academy Award. It’s definitely a distinction that validates your product like no other publication.” She would know. Getting in the magazine not only brought her 60% more business in thirty days, but brought much needed awareness to a cause close to her heart.

Her company pledged $100,000 to her beloved cause, and then gave $1,000,000 over three years to grant patients’ wishes and to sponsor a nationwide online resource site. Being in O made the issue visible on a grand scale. I’ll show you how you, too, can enjoy the big rush of new business and get more than enough money from your profits to donate generously to the charity of your choice.

Set Yourself Apart From Your Competition

Knowing how valuable it is to get in O, consider your competition and understand that, like Super Soul Sunday, the standards at the magazine are some of the toughest in the industry. O, The Oprah Magazine prides itself in being a publication that values beauty, courage, attention to the finer points of relationships, and people doing amazing things in the world. I’ll show you how you can embody the qualities that are important to Oprah and her editors and set you apart from your formidable competition.

Get into O, Make it To Oprah’s Favorite Things Round-Up

According to a recent article on a popular blog, “For 14 years, Oprah’s Favorite Things was the hottest ticket in television. The sun may have set on The Oprah Winfrey Show, but Oprah’s Favorite Things list lives on in O, The Oprah Magazine. Every year, Adam Glassman, the magazine’s creative director, and his team gather items in a top secret style closet for Oprah’s consideration.

‘I have the greatest job in the world,’ he says. ‘We spend so many months hunting, gathering, looking, searching, trying to find things (a) that Oprah will like and (b) try to find things that maybe Oprah hasn’t seen yet.’”

Did you know that one way to get chosen for Oprah’s Favorite Things is to get your product first in the magazine? It’s one of the first places Oprah’s producers look when they are culling through hundreds of possible products. After all, these items have already passed through a very tough screening process to make it to the magazine in the first place.

But even then, it’s not easy. And it’s no guarantee. In fact, one source told me that when it aired The Oprah Winfrey Show got over 15,000 products a day. That’s per day! And those are people who, in the past, hoped that their products would just make it to any Oprah show. Your product has to be pretty special to get on the most anticipated round-up of the year. And one more thing. Oprah really does have to LOVE it for it to be selected.

But let’s think of that as icing on the cake. For now your goal is to get into the magazine that could then lead to being selected for the creme de la creme, the Oprah’s Favorite Things End-of-Year Round-Up.
