The DiY-Filmmaking Super Hotline New Marketing Plan

Remember a few months ago when we introduced you to the DiY-Filmmaking Super Hotline? And then for four consecutive weeks on the podcast we reminded you about the hotline’s existence and offered you gifts in exchange for your call? And do you also remember that [unless your name is Shaun] you decided for whatever reason that you didn’t want to call us? Good… because we remember that, too.

This made us sad but it also made us realize that the problem starts with us… and so will the solution. This is serious.

In an attempt to boost the number of incoming calls to our Super Hotline, we hired an extremely expensive and famous internet marketing corporation to come up with a more comprehensive marketing plan for the hotline. They determined that the best way to get more incoming calls would be to shoot a commercial for the hotline. A commercial that they were unwilling to let us be a part of. While this move seemed to go against everything we stand for with a DiY-Filmmaking website, they had a really nice powerpoint presentation with techno music that we just couldn’t say no to.

We Have a Facebook Page

I know, we’re very imaginative. We hired a social media consultant at $400/hour and that’s what he said to do.

Anyways, it’s a good place to have some conversations and interact a little bit more. LIKE IT or else we look stupid.

You can find it right here.

Check Out Our New Podcast Comment Phone Number!

We want to involve people more in the podcast, so we set up a Google Voice voicemail box where you can call and leave anything you’d like – questions, comments, or verbal abuse! We’ll play it on the podcast and discuss, as long as we can play it (meaning keep swearing to a minimum).

The number is 954-324-7349, or 954-324-7DIY.

Google Voice has a problem with custom greetings, so if you want the cool custom greeting featuring yours truly, you just have to use this handy little Google Voice call widget.

Hope you give us a buzz soon!

March is DiY Filmmaking Month!

No, really – it’s a thing. The good people over at Poetzero have declared it.

This is pretty cool because both Poetzero and MAKE magazine are doing some even more DiY filmmaking articles than they usually do, which we will be sure to link to.

But how will we commemorate DiY Filmmaking Month? We’re coming up with something, so hold tight.

Can we use this graphic? I don't even know, but I'm going with it.
