Ok so we are about 7 months till we premier The Realm and
one thing I have learnt from other web series is that it is important to pre promote
you show in order to get a following. I can understand that you really want to
create buzz for the thing you have been working on for so so long.
A couple of things I am feeling and hope that helps anyone
else trying to do this.
For starters never feel like your project is not worthwhile.
After a few hours of spreading the word on social media and such you tend to
see a lot of mainstream projects pop up (Avengers, GOT, Doctor Who) It can be intimidating
and you start thinking “well my little project is nowhere near those guys.” That’s
not the point. Keep in mind that you have worked very hard to forge this idea
into reality and others may still appreciate even if it is not Start Trek J
Second list, list and more lists. Keep a record of where you
have been and who you sent what to. You don’t want to make the mistake of
resending a press release or vid to someone twice. You can seem pushy that way
and they will not even bother with you.
Finally at the end of the day just remember you have done
all that you can for now…there is always tomorrow and the next day. It does not
all have to be done at once. You may feel like Actors, Crew and such are
depending on you to help them get their names out but ultimately you are all
working together and that is why you do the work you do on the project.
I hope this helps you…It helps me to vent out a little.
Until next time
Tony Diana
