Promotion

This section concentrates on methods of promotion online for your film. Usually the online promotion is the area that is completely ignored by most filmmakers. They either develop a poor site or have no site at all.

The importance of a domain name. If you have taken the time to title your film so carefully, how could you allow your film to have a "Geocities" address. You should have an independent address of it's own to help promote the film. It is only $30 for 2 years (using the link at the top of the page), plus hosting (at a special rate of $17.95 for filmmakers referred from this site). You will note the links to Telcom.net and to Domain Americas. They have joined to provide this service.

Web site design is essential. Because of the number of artists in our industry, that is not usually a problem. You should be able to find a quality person to design your site for you. If you can not, we provide two resources for you. First, ePagos has a tool that allows you to quickly generate a web site using templates. It also allows you to sell online, so that you can sell your videos and merchandise. Building the "store" is free and it is only $30 for hosting. We do not get any referral fees for you making such a store.

We also provide a link to Sitanium Designs. They are a high quality firm when it comes to design and can do anything from basic sites to full Flash implementations. If you don't know what Flash is, you have to see it to believe it. They also do database work, etc.

Building a site is not enough. You have to promote that site. To do so we bring you First In Search Engines (a division of Sitanium Designs). They enhance your web site (even one they did not develop) to be better viewed by the search engines. They guarantee performance and do an excellent job for very little money relative to most other companies. Most importantly, they don't just bring you users, they bring users who were actually looking for you.

We hope that you will use these resources and find success because of them.
