How to be on Oprah

Channel 9 interviewed Susan Harrow an author of a book “How to be on Oprah’s Show”.

She gave clear, succinct advice about the necessary criteria to even try to be on her show. I took notes (of course) and this are the key points:

- you need to walk before you can run so

- have local tv exposure

- have a message to tell

- be qualified and an expert in an area

- have a following

- feel comfortable to have a conversation with Oprah, and to think on your feet.

She suggested creating a story to up-sell to Harpo (not the product or service)

She suggested the following:

- create a story with people willing to appear on the show

- get some media training

Reflecting on the above, I think I have everything covered. I will design and write an actual segment though and submit that to Harpo. Off I go to work :-)
