Building an audience for my show

Distribution Platforms

YouTube, Yahoo Video and iTunes are the sites I intend to use for my audience to view my video. I intend to distribute my video across these platforms because they are the most popular sites on the internet for watching videos, the reason behind their success is that they appeal to what people want, hence a huge audience.



Social Networking

I intend to use Facebook and Twitter to tell people about my web-series as these are the mostly used social networking sites in the world. I will use these sites to inform my prospective audience of what my web-series will be about and maybe have short clips of what they will see in the series.


Crow-Funding


Kickstarter - this is a funding platform for creative projects. This includes: films, games, music, art, design and technology. It is full of independently created projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others - creators and backers.


Press


As my web-series involves the different types of courses at Middlesbrough College I would mostly target local newspapers for press releases about my web-series, like The Evening Gazette and The Northern Echo. I would also try and target the surrounding areas local newspapers too, this is because there are college students (or prospective students) that come from as far as Whitby, Durham and Hartlepool. I believe that this would greatly increase my chances of gaining a wider audience.
