Do a talk show demo.Many TV show producers and bookers want to see you live before booking you on their show–especially at the level of Oprah, The View or Good Morning America.

Your demo should have the camera trained on you, in a professional looking setting, with a few shots of the interviewer asking you precise questions. Make sure your answers are about 15 seconds and leave no doubt that people won’t reach for the remote.2. Do a mini-course.As an alternative or in addition to your newsletter you can give a course over a month, a year or anything in-between.
