Always love to see creative people taking advantage of the promotion and marketing opportunities that the Internet has to offer. The potential to reach tons of new fans via the web, email, or elsewhere online is mind blowing.
But how do you monetize giving something away for free?
Watch the first couple of minutes of the video below to see how indie filmmaker Francis Stokes is doing it...
This is actually a pretty good movie, by the way. Reminds me of a lot of musicians I've seen. :)
My friend Chris Valenti is doing something similiar with his film Sensitive Johnson. He needs to add the monetizing aspect.
But what I like better is that he's serializing the film. Most people on YouTube aren't planning on watching a whole film. So he gives them small chunks over time.
