Exude an entertaining personality. HGTV is part information and part entertainment. People learn from the programs, but they have to want to watch them. Part of a show's appeal is the host. Having a background in any of several fields will help, including broadcast journalism, mass communications, marketing and performing arts, specifically TV and stage acting.
Become educated. HGTV hires hosts who know their stuff. The former host of HGTV's 'House Hunters' show, Suzanne Whang is a comedian and actor, but she also has a degree in psychology -- something that no doubt serves her well in assessing whether a home or apartment fits a client's needs. Though Sabrina Soto found her job on Craigslist, she had real estate and interior design expertise.
Make yourself known. TV hosts often start out as featured guests. People become featured guests when they have credibility and personality. Writing a book or establishing a name for yourself in a local market is a gateway to renown. Consider Bob Vila, the TV home-improvement pioneer. He restored a Victorian home in Massachusetts in the late 1970s. 'The Boston Globe' wrote about the project, the local PBS affiliate filmed a pilot episode, and 'This Old House' was born.
Know the company. HGTV is owned by Scripps Networks, which also owns the DIY Network, Food Network, Fine Living Network, and Great American Country. Check their jobs page regularly.
Know its people. Jobs in entertainment largely are a matter of 'who you know.' If a person with hiring authority already knows and likes someone who can do the job well, that person stands a great chance of landing the job. Send your resume and a DVD of your on-camera style to their HR office, as well as to the producers of your favorite shows. Scripps also hires many interns. Even if it's not exactly what you want, any internship is a good way to be known and to learn about the network.
Put the move in perspective. Few people who host on HGTV and similar networks endeavor specifically to do that; instead, the jobs are part of a broader career path or simple circumstance. Guy Fieri, host of three network shows, started out as a chef and restaurant manager; he then competed on and won 'The Next Food Network Star.' After that, his TV career was a lock.

An Explanation of the Four Basic Business ModelsIn Feburary 2016 11,

Content hosting is a business model derived from the traditions of ad-funded print and television media. Content hosts provide helpful or entertaining content intended to draw a large viewership pool and make a profit by selling ads on the hosted Web property. The content hosting model requires steady advertising of its own to generate the high levels of traffic required to turn a profit. Advertising a content hosing website is an economical way to drive traffic, so long as the ad budget stays small and focuses on demographic groups interested in the website's theme.
E-Commerce
E-commerce is a fairly simple business premise. The online merchant sells a tangible product via a website, ships the product to the customer and repeats the process. eBay, Amazon.com, Craigslist and Kijiji are all big names in the e-commerce world, though it is relatively easy to start a smaller niche-specific e-commerce project. E-commerce business owners must avoid shipping pitfalls such as charging a package insurance premium to cover for lost orders or using a private courier service rather than the public mail system.
Lead Generation
Lead generation is a somewhat controversial online business model because it requires gathering and selling Web visitors' personal information to turn a profit. Within the world of lead generation there are two main philosophies: white hat and black hat. White hat lead generators are open with visitors about how their information is used and why, but often provide a useful service or entertainment in exchange for the information. Black hat lead generators use underhanded tactics to gather information and do not tell users that their private information is being sold. The onus is on the user to avoid getting duped. Black hat lead generators are often associated with 'spam' email advertising campaigns and may have trouble finding online business partners like website hosting and ISP services, because legitimate companies often seek to distance themselves from the disreputable practice. Regardless of how the lead generator gathers the information, the profit is in selling the data or using it to generate sales leads.
Customer Support and Outsourcing
According to Hurst, customer support is a money-saving business model. Having an automated, self-serve problem resolution center on a business website mitigates the cost of having a live agent resolve customer issues, thus saving money. Of course, it is not possible to have an automated solution to every problem, so some level of human-to-human contact is still necessary to avoid upsetting customers. Expanding upon Hurst's ideas, it is possible to create a customer support online business that makes money by offering outsourced customer service to companies unable or unwilling to have an in-house customer service department. A customer support for-profit business can even market automated resolution databases customized for each client for additional revenue.
