Step 1: Be charismatic, charming...this will establish your following
Step 2: Convince your followers that by giving 'x' amount of dollars to YOUR ministry is somehow going to multiply thier riches and/or heal their ailments.
Step 3: Have operators on standby to receive anticipated monies.
Step 4: Buy your way onto television. Be sure to have an elaborate studio that looks nothing like any normal human being's home. Wear glittery clothing. Be sure to show video clips of starving kids in third world countries.
Step 5: Keep collecting that money! Occasionally pull out a letter from a 'satisfied' follower who's been 'healed' because they gave money to YOUR ministry. Secretly feel proud of that. Publicly, milk it.
Step 6: You'll need a scandal. Be creative. You'll eventually get caught, but enjoy it while it lasts.
Step 7: It never hurts to drag out an audience member for an official televised healing. When you do this, be sure to slap the person in the forehead with the bottom part of your palm--it seems God won't heal people unless you do this.

Did you get interior the hoop and do what he did for over 2 a protracted time? Do you carry a call or have been a former champion? Did you get set on hearth, yet nevertheless wrestle a experience? I guess those are actually not any. So admire the guy.

Greed, and the power to manipulate the gullible. Those are the motiviations. If you want to be a TV preacher, you should first be a sociopath.
