The Film Annex Manual for Filmmakers: How to Maximize Your Online Revenues
Posted on at
Filmmakers!
The Film Annex team has put together a brief "manual" that will guide you to maximize the revenues generated on your Web TV.
As you know, more traffic equals to more revenues, and we'd like to highlight some tools that you can use to draw more traffic to your Web TV.
* Have a simple and catchy description for your Web TV. Tell the viewers what you will be presenting on your Web TV. If you're trying to raise money for your next project, mention that too, so they know that they're contributing to your project by simply visiting your website and commenting on your content.
* Include a "Call for Action" in your Web TV's description box. Your call for action may target your audience and the way you want to interact with them. You can ask them to give you feedback on your films, call for crew members for your next production, etc. As an example, check out www.rednoticetv.com and www.waroffilms.com. Once you have your description and "call for action" ready, you can email them to us to info@filmannex.com with the subject "Web TV description."
* You can comment on your own films! Don't think that it's "weird" or "awkward" to comment on your own content. The comment doesn't have to be something like "great film;" it can be a question or an idea that will motivate other users to join the discussion.
* Use your comment section below each film page to let your viewers know about the developments in your projects, your screenings, the festivals you're attending, etc. In short, interact!
We created Film Annex, because we want it to be an interactive platform where filmmakers and viewers exchange news and ideas and create a community within the film industry. Our mission is to promote and distribute professionally made, high quality videos and films. That's what makes us different from platforms like Facebook, YouTube, etc.
Your traffic today and tomorrow:
To see the improvements in your traffic and find out who your audience is, become a user at www.quantcast.com. Your Web TV is quantified on www.quantcast.com and has outstanding information up to the smallest detail that will help you market your films outside of Film Annex.
If you have any questions about any of the above, contact us. Let's keep the dialog going so we can help you as much as possible to maximize the revenues on your Web TV.
Once again, the keywords to success are: comments, call for action, and interactivity with viewers!
Sincerely,
The Film Annex Team
