If I am asked to appear on television, should I ask for money?
If so, how much?
How do I go about it? Do I say - well I haven't an agent, but would you pay me say, £1,000? £10,000?
Are you there in a professional capacity? For example as an industry expert? You might be able to get a fee, but not a big one as far as I am aware.If so, how much?

Have you been invited into a light entertainment show as a contestant? Then no. They will probably arrange your transport and accommodation, which will improve in quality the further on the competition runs.
It's difficult to get famous people into TV studios unless they are selling a book / film / exercise video. There is a reason for that.
If you're important to them and they cannot easily replace you with someone they can get for cheap you could say, "You appreciate obviously that I am the world acknowledged industry expert in [insert expertise here], so I am busy and have costs, are you able to compensate me for appearing?"

How much is "Really well"?I've been in 3 adverts in the 90's . The Disney one i did for Aladdin paid really well & was in it for a split second, Was great "having make up applied " not sure they had enough TBH.
Hundred? Tens of hundreds? Thousand? Tens of thousands?

About 15 years ago, I auditioned for the role of a presenter on a new property show. The proposed pay was less than i earned at the time as Land Director for a major housebuilder.

I would imagine Land Director for a major housebuilder has a pretty fabulous package attached to it though? Presenting, of course, could lead to all sorts of follow-on opportunities - I bet many people would do it for nothing.My missus was asked about being on ‘The Hundred’ panel for All Together Now and I was surprised how much they were talking about bearing in mind there’s 100 of them, although it was quite a commitment.
