Appear in O Magazine
and Live the Good Life

Live the Good Life

Overnight you can go from being an unknown to a household name....

Have you ever wondered why some people appear in O, The Oprah Magazine once or multiple times and skyrocket to stardom? You're about to discover their secrets.

Getting on Oprah Can Make You Money

Getting in O Magazine Can Make You Money

People and businesses just like you have found that one single mention in Oprah's magazine can blast off their business from earth to the stratosphere. And remarkably that is often just the beginning. They frequently find that being in O The Oprah Magazine sparks a series of other media mentions that transforms their business into one that's in a never-ending growth cycle that often experiences delightful and surprising results.

Take Lesley Hatfield whose company NiteSweatz Inc. was featured THREE TIMES in O.. Entrepreneur Magazine featured a major two-page spread on NiteSweatz. And while Hatfield's company made $1 million in sales last year they are on track to double that to $2 million this year.

From: Susan Harrow

Dear Friend,

Would you like to follow in the footsteps of Lesley Hatfield and others like her who have taken their appearance in Oprah's magazine and leveraged it to become respected and well known, not to mention wealthy?

If you're someone who has tried to get into the magazine without success you're not alone. Thousands of people like you have emailed, faxed or snail mailed numerous press releases, lots of ideas, plump packages packed with materials, and dozens of products-to no avail.

But the problem is most of these ideas and things are not properly packaged to appeal to Oprah's editors. And since people don't know it, they just keep blindly sending in stuff thinking that one day, some day, someone will take notice.

Wrong.

It's not your fault that you don't understand what the editors want.

How could you know unless you've studied the magazine thoroughly, have the brilliant mind of a publicist and developed the right story, product, business or cause that the Oprah editors are looking for?

Thousands of people want to get their products chosen as one of Oprah's favorite things in that special section of the magazine. Entrepreneurs who run a business understand that they can double or triple it's size by getting mentioned in the magazine. Charities, non-profits and causes believe that Oprah would love what they stand for and want to be a part of their mission. Authors think that their book is right for Oprah. Others have a life story or experience they think is perfect for Oprah.

If you've been thinking that it would be one of the best things that could happen to you to get into O, you're right.

I'm Susan Harrow, media coach, marketing strategist, author of Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul®, and CEO of Harrow Communications. I've taught hundreds of people the secrets and strategies to get the attention of the editors at O Magazine in my seminars. In addition I've worked with several clients personally to get them into O, The Oprah Magazine.

Appearing on Oprah Gives You A Chance at Fame

Appearing in O Magazine Gives You A Chance at Fame

But for this ebook I've gone beyond sharing what I, or my clients know about getting into the magazine, and have interviewed over a dozen people did it. Some were already successful in their own right, others were struggling entrepreneurs, and the rest were growing their businesses gradually and wanted to see a big jump in sales. But regardless of their business status or success-ratio all of them would agree that Oprah "put them on the map".

What's more, I've also interviewed publicists who have literally cracked the code, and gotten their clients in the magazine not just once, but multiple times. I'm committed to sharing all of those tips, techniques and strategies with you-no holding back.

So if you dream of getting into O, The Oprah Magazine and want to see your product, service or cause pictured right there in color, radiantly standing out, in the next edition of the magazine, read on.


Yes, Susan I'm ready to get featured in O, Magazine.

Stop!  Is this you?
Is this you?

Do you:

  • Dream of getting your product chosen as one of Oprah's favorite things?

  • Run a business that you'd like to double or triple it's size?

  • Have a charity, non-profit, or cause that you think Oprah would love?

  • Have a book that you believe is right for Oprah?

Or

  • Believe that you have an O Magazine worthy story?

  • Have a different perspective on some adversity that made you stronger?

  • Have a book proposal and want to get a top literary agent?

  • Have a dramatic life story that you want told?

  • Want to be able to double your speaking fees overnight?

Or

Are you:

  • An expert in your field and have a unique perspective on a subject that is meaningful to women?

  • An experienced writer who wants to get a story, article or essay in the magazine?

  • Someone who aspires to be a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN)?

  • Someone who desperately wanted to be interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey Show while it was on the air but who has failed to get a response back from producers?


If this sounds like you, continue on

Whether you are an author, entrepreneur, expert, philanthropist, playwright, 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 The Oprah Magazine 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 the Ebook 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.

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 poured in month after month after month, sometimes creating a geyser of sales for years.

Opportunities Abound

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.

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 Magazine 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.

Consider Your Vast Competition

Knowing how valuable it is to get in O, consider your competition and understand that, like The Oprah Winfrey Show and the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), 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.

Use This Knowledge to Get Into Other High Profile Magazines

Here’s the thing. What you’ll be learning in the Ebook Get Into O Magazine
is applicable to getting into most other respected national magazines. The principles, pitches, and guidance you’ll get gives you the foundation for what is necessary to get featured, profiled or quoted in all the other places you want to appear. Once you’ve done it at the highest level, it’s a cinch to get into other prestigious publications.

Went from 5 chapters to 30 and growing.

Genevieve Piturro who founded the pajama project

Genevieve Piturro who founded the pajama project, a charity to give new pjs to poor kids, went from 5 chapters to 30 and growing. She got 9,000 new pajamas donated and a donation of $5,000. In five years she collected 85,000 pairs of pjs for needy children.

Genevieve Piturro,
Founder of The Pajama Program
http://www.pajamaprogram.org

After appearing in O The Oprah Magazine, Genevieve Piturro was on the Oprah Winfrey Show.. Oprah challenged the 300 person audience to bring in as many pjs as they could – with a catch. They were only allowed to buy one pair per person. Collectively the audience brought in over 32,000 pajamas for her charity. In addition to appearing on the Oprah Show Genevieve was a guest on Oprah & Friends XM radio. So Genevieve got into O magazine, on the Oprah show and then on Oprah's radio station.
