How to Market Your Film Through Your Website

The internet has emerged as a major tool of sales and promotion in regard to a wide range of products and services. So, from diapers to old airbus; everything is available on the internet. So much so, that the internet plays a very crucial role in the overall commerce and economic scenario. As a matter of fact, there are a number of products, which are solely sold on the internet. These products owe their success to the internet.

In the recent times, with a lot of development in terms of technology, the role of the internet has grown all the more important. For my films, I immediately buy up the domains for the title just so I have various sites to point back to the main title which would be the .com one. Everything from .net, .org and .mobi since now those work great for phones and iPods, PSPs and anything else small and mobile.

In the current times, filmmakers are increasingly realizing the vast and immense potential of the internet. It is perhaps due to this reason that a large number of filmmakers are using this wonderful medium for promoting their films. No matter what genre your film deals with, you can definitely promote it on the internet. As a matter of fact a number of filmmakers are already doing so. Therefore, you will find everything from Award winning documentaries, to Best horror films, to native American Sunrise Ceremony, to Tim McGraw movies, to top indie films, christian family film news, to nikki finke, to film festival news, and even hot docs film festival information. The internet can help in getting your word across to a large number of people. So, you can tell them, as to what your movie is all about, its central theme, star cast, direction, script and so on.

As it is, in today’s times, promotion plays a very vital role in the success of a film. A good film, if not properly promoted may ultimately bite the dust, whereas a not so good movie may emerge hugely successful purely on the basis of proper promotion. It is due to this reason that filmmakers these days are spending a lot of money on the promotion of their films.

If you wish to promote your motion picture on the internet, then you will be glad to know that there are a number of ways, by which you can do so. One of the most popular ways to do so is that of promoting your movie through your own website. In this method, you can set up your own website in regard to your own movie. Load videos, teasers, pictures, trailers, star cast, as well as other information in regard to the movie. Once this is done, you can now go ahead with its promotion. You can use various social networking sites, like Facebook, Twitter and Orkut, for the promotion of your film; and ensure that more and more people get to know about your film. There are so many free hosting sites now for beginners that it’s crazy not to have a site promoting your work.

Typically, internet promotion has an economical advantage over the other forms of promotion and therefore, you should make use of it.

In the next article, I go through some of the search engine optimization things you can do to make your website more search engine friendly.

Answer by karaloyal
Los angeles and Chicago are not states :-0

None of the above. Try Utah or near Missouri. I have a friend in KS who is working on a Christian indie film.

Remember that Napoleon Dynamite was made in Idaho by Mormons.

I know some people don’t think Mormons and Christians are the same thing, but that is another story… Utah is very supportive of the arts as long as they are wholesome.
