Develop Your Idea Into a TV Show The Execs Want To See!

Do you watch TV and think; “I have a better idea than that”? Would you like to see your idea turned into an actual show on TV but are unsure where to start? Do you want to know the answer to “What does it take to create a pitch-able product?”

If so, this Membership Site is for you!

My Name is Keith and I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars developing and marketing my first show idea with no understanding of where I was in the process.

I shot an expensive Sizzle Reel, made lavish brochures, and spent money to pitch my show at events when it was nowhere near ready to pitch!

I’ve spent the money, I’ve spent the time, and I’ve learned so much from my mistakes that I now do Development work for the same companies I was pitching all those years ago!

Here’s what my first show pitch cost me.

Time Invested = 5 years
Events = $6,500+ (I was unprepared foe all but one of them!)
Promo materials = $3,500+ (this is way too much by the way)
Sizzle Reel = $30,000!!!
Blown meetings = 4 (one with a multi-millionaire who wanted to fund my show before I blew the meeting)
Bottom line – that is WAY too much time and money to spend on a show idea

I can now take an idea and have it ready to pitch in 3 months instead of years.

I will spend less than a few hundred dollars on promo materials.

Yes you read correctly!! The lessons I’ve learned have taken the years down to months. The tens of thousands of dollars down to hundreds.

And this is what I will share with you on the site.

It used to take me a month to hone my One Sheets. Most times I felt like I was lost in the desert. With the successful system I now use I can bang out a concise and catchy in One Sheet in hours!

The goal of this site is to prevent you from making the same mistakes I did, to prevent you from wasting time and thousands of dollars, and to teach you to develop your idea into a show the Execs want to see.
