How should I promote my Movie Streaming Website?

    I just created a movie streaming website and is now ready for promotion. I know this kind of website needs little promotion because of its demands.

    However, I feel there are now tons of similar website like this in the net, so how do I promote my website and make it known? Is there any particular methods I should use for movie site. Thanks for sharing.

    You can add videos to youtube with your watermark on it. You can also type in your url in the description.

    thanks, I am already trying to do this but it takes a lot of effort such as downloading the video, making changes to it and then uploading it back. Doing this I only got like 50 views per week.

    Yes I know some will say 50 times 30 videos will bring me alot, but its just impossible to do it. Afterall, the video slowly dies off and won't bring you any views

    yes posting to youtube is a ggood idea...

    you dont have to put watermark on video its a lot of time to take

    just add an annotation to video after you upload the Video...

    youtube support online editing

    Social Bookmarking sites (see my signature link), Yahoo Answers (should be your main source), YouTube but with NEW videos (not old) and forums related to teenagers and movies + specific movies (e.g. forums for L.O.S.T...etc)

    Driving traffic AWAY is not the same as PULLING traffic. And I didn't say I am an expert. Also if you have read the article, you'll know its not about movie streaming site. Blogs and movie streaming site is totally different, so ways of bringing traffic is really different.

    Anyway, I just got 3 installs on my zango! thanks for the info so far, I implemeted whatever you guys told me.

    haha, and one of my video was deleted due to infringement, its the x men video. I don't know why but its just a trailer.

    The best thing is, I log into my website and saw 350+ views for yesterday! I just set up my website like 4 days ago.

    Are you streaming full Hollywood movies illegally? Might not be the smartest move, but here's my 2 cents anyways. Watermark the trailers for the movies and upload to youtube, also you can upload the movies to rapidshare and share them on the free movie warez sites and forums, with the .info of the rar archive advertising your site, or a text file included in the compressed archive advertising your url. Something like "Watch this movie live streaming @ yoursite.com" Good luck and hopefully you don't get sued or booted offline!

    thanks for the method lordxenu. Of course I am not streaming the movie. But I don't think I am going to do the rapidshare method cause its quite dangerous.

    Anyway, how much do you think movie sites are worth nowaday. Who knows, I might sell this site of mine. ;)

    Like many others say, try Youtube. Youtube works for a lot of sites.

    But there are a lot of big movie sites out there. Try to connect to one of those sites. IMDB or Rottentomatoes, for example.

    wow that's insane! I sent you a pm, hope you can share some tips and trick.

    Just an update, I have earned $45 in 3 days using Zango, trying to get use to it and see what traffic source works and what doesn't

    Just a question? What is your conversion rate for visitors to downloads?

    My is around 1:7 on average. How about yours? And whats the ratio between views: Money made on Zango?

    For me so far 3000 views: $45

    Hope you guys can share! :)
