How to Make an Infomercial. Has this ever happened to you? You're trying to sell a product
-- but you can't get the word out! With a few simple steps, you'll see how quick and
easy it is to make an infomercial! You will need Product Spokesperson Headset mic Set
Average Joes Related product Low price Deep-voiced announcer Dubious expert (optional) and extreme
scenario (optional). Step 1. Pick a product that's easy to use and cheap to manufacture.
Does it appeal to daytime TV aficionados, *** college kids, and insomniacs desperate
for human contact? You bet it does! Give your product a short name, so you can sell it fast.
Step 2. Find someone who wants nothing more than to proclaim the wonder of your product.
Just give them a headset mic and watch as they do the work for you -- incredible! Team
your spokesperson with a dubiously qualified expert to add a little more clout to your
infomercial. Step 3. Choose a setting where your spokesperson can demonstrate your product's
extraordinary value in everyday situations. Cooking food, cleaning the house, hanging
out with friends -- how you show off your wares is all up to you! You can add a demonstration
in an extreme situation to highlight even more incredible qualities. Step 4. Find a
few average Joes willing to speak about your product's amazing abilities in quick, 3-second
sound bites. But, wait -- there's more! Step 5. For a big finish, overprice your product
by an unconscionable amount, then slash the price in half and throw in a cheap related
gadget. Finally, offer a two-for-one deal and never before seen prices, and have a deep-voiced
announcer tell people how to order. Then, start thinking of the next product you can
sell, today! Did you know The term "free gift" -- commonly used at the end of infomercials
to help seal the deal -- is redundant.
