Main takeaways from today’s Marketing Success LIVE! with Angela Chee:
- Know why you want to be on TV- This is a very important step that most people skip over when they say “I want to be on TV.” Are you selling a book? Do you want to increase brand exposure? Are you promoting an event? It’s important be clear on your intention so you can properly leverage your TV exposure.
- Create your hook- Know your content and what you stand for. You most likely won’t get asked on to promote something, but you will get asked on because you’re an expert on a a certain topic. What topic are you an expert on? Don’t treat this as a pitch fest or a commercial. This is an opportunity to create value for your brand.
- Have your online and social media presence media ready- Don’t leave it up to producers to up dig for information on you – they don’t have the time. Have a media/press page on your website so it’s easy to pitch yourself. Have professional photos of yourself, talk about other places you have been featured and include a video the demonstrates your ability to speak in front of the camera. Also make sure your social media profiles are updated properly.
- Repurpose your TV segment- Continue the momentum with your TV segment by promoting it on social media. Upload your TV segment to YouTube and your Facebook page. Include your TV segment in your newsletters and blog post. Make sure it’s on your website and create an “As Seen On” section on your home page to increase your credibility. Pictured below is the “As Seen On” section that’s right on my homepage.
*BONUS TIP- Sit in front of a window for a best possible lighting– This isn’t a TV tip, but it’s a great tip for anything you’re doing on camera including a video conference, video, Facebook Live, etc. It makes a huge difference especially when you don’t have professional lighting.
