HOW TO SELL YOUR IDEA? / or / HOW TO GET TO THE PRODUCER?
First you need to decide:
1. Do you want to sell your idea or script?
2. Do you want to sell a product?
You’re positioning depends on it.
However, no matter what you choose, you need to be assured of tremendous patience. For this path is not fast.
!!! Offer your idea to those who might be interested in it. !!!
There is no need to write applications to all channels. First, analyze the channels. What do they show? Is your product right for them? So you will not be offering an action movie to a children's TV channel. (I exaggerate on purpose to make it clear)
!!! Prepare your application correctly !!!
You should understand that there are people on the other side who are NOT BURNING with your idea. And nobody will read 100 pages of your wonderful author's idea. Therefore, you need to reght the Logline in your application in such a way that TO IGNIT the interest from the first lines.
!!! There are not only front doors !!!
Of course, the easiest way is if you know the Producer. Then he will most likely read your application. But what if you don’t?
So we need to get acquainted!
- Ask your friend and their friends. After 6 handshakes, you can find any person you need. Remember this.

- Look for people on social media. Don't be afraid to write your suggestions directly to the person.
- Remind yourself at least once a week. Persistence will pay off. But don't go overboard, be tactful.
- Attend thematic events and look for the contacts you need there.
If you have already been answered, that's cool! So your idea is 70% interested. Try to make an appointment in person. 30% is you! Your professionalism, ability to ignite with your idea and agree on conditions.
Do not accept the answer: "if it will be interested, we will contact you."
If you were answered and told: "Sorry, your proposal does not suit us." Ask why? What to fix? Let this be your experience.
!!! Another way way !!!
In addition to channels and platforms, you can offer your idea to potential investors and implement it on YouTube. With their native or direct advertising. But keep in mind that such a proposal requires a YouTube channel with an audience and a large reach before submitting the proposal.
If you only sell an idea or script, you can also add production, studios and script contests to your list.
Knock on doors, not just the front ones!
Be patient and persistent.
Burn with your idea so as to ignite the hearts of others!
And then the result is inevitable!
