Hi Shantel. We're in preproduction and are trying to answer that question as well. Are you planning on youtube? Your own site? Other? I'd love to bounce some ideas back and forth on the forum for others to offer insight as well.
Hi Bryce! Well at the moment youtube will be our primary source for showcasing the series along with our website. Have you set a shooting schedule yet? This there anyone on your team handling marketing or advertising?
Finishing up first drafts right now. Not sure how to find someone to do marketing or advertising yet. So far it's just my partner and I doing everything.

We have plans to show it on Youtube as a series of 12 five min episodes. But as you know, just because you post it, doesn't mean anyone will see it. So the question still remains how to drive traffic to see it without running into a lot of expenses for a no budget.
I am actually assembling a team to take on the marketing aspect. Luckily for you, you have a partner. I am a one women show doing this. So its exciting and scary at the same time. I do have a plan for getting attraction on social media. I had to keep re budgeting everything and still I spent way more than I wanted to. Its always good to have extra funds on the side in the event you run into a problem.
How are you planning on getting social media aware?

This looks as though it may help us as well. Soooooo difficult to decide which webinar to spend dollars on here. You guys have soooo many that are really directed to indie makers!
