It seems like every day I'm stumbling upon another website offering to spill all the secrets of selling and marketing your film. These often come at a price, but many offer specials and discounts. Here is an ever-growing list of some resources available to help you market your film. I will try and update this periodically as I see fit.
http://www.lightsfilmschool.com/blog/ - Soup-to-nuts online film school for $299. Offers classes in marketing.
http://filmspecific.com/ - an indie site with lots of free and paid information, including an e-book called the Self-Distribution Starter kit for $29. Other pricing plans are available.
http://www.shericandler.com/ - a publicist with her own blog, specializing in indie films. Free information in the form of articles and blog posts, and Sheri also available for consultation.
http://www.cineticmedia.com/index.php - "Where Art and Commerce Meet" is their motto. They also offer something called Film Buff, which can help indie filmmakers with all sorts of marketing strategies. No prices listed on the site, which usually means this can be pricey.
http://moviemavericks.com/advertising-on-moviemavericks-com/ - this site offers free advertising to indie filmmakers and perhaps a chance for a review. Or so it says - an email sent to the address was not returned.
Indiplaya.com - They just made a big announcement about new content channels at SXSW this year, but their site looks pretty weak. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.
http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/23/1-best-ways-customize-facebook/ - Facebook has a lot of marketing possibilities but it's hard to convert Likes into $s. However, these customizing apps may help you do just that by making a more engaging Facebook Page. Be sure to check the comments for some other cool sites not listed in the main article.
http://thinkoutsidetheboxoffice.com/ - John Reis' site is often referred to as the grandaddy of all distribution/marketing sites. His book is often listed as "must read." Alas, with any print book nowadays, the information gets stale quickly. You can buy a digital version with updates at this site.
http://www.internetmarketingforfilmmakers.com/ - This guy has a very slick website and loves to show you videos. He offers a money back guarantee, so you could check out what he has to offer and decide for yourself if it is worth it.
