Search Engine Optimization - it's about visibility. Whatever your business, there are myriad qualified clients out there looking for you. Most of them employ search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing, and if they aren't directed to your site, they'll find your competition. At Ascendgence, we concentrate our abilities on making your site relevant, so your customers can find you when they need you. ...
Thank you for offering to help us with the PTB documentary release. We are very hopeful to do well in the first 48 hours Youtube allows for us to rank 'Most Viewed' for the day. Our goal is to become #1 for the day. We have chosen to submit to the 'Entertainment' category as it is highly competitive, but aquires more traffic than the other categories.
We do not officially release until 3pm today. The trailer can be seen on the homepage of www.PimpThisBum.com - but we will want to promote www.PimpThisBumMovie.com after 2 o'clock hits. Keep this in mind - there will be a switch during the day, and we will do our best to time it right.
I will list below ways you can help make this happen, as well as provide you with key media contacts we are trying reach with this story. Do not contact these media outlets as a 'spokesperson' for Pimp This Bum, Ascendgence, Igfilms, or Terminally Unique LLC. Please contact them in the tone of a concerned citizen who thinks they should explore this story and share it with their respective audiences.
Level 1 Skill:
1. Log into your social network of choice (or multiple).
2. Post your status, tweet, or update to have the url of the documentary and ask your friends to please post this on their profile pages, or retweet.
3. Send person messages to all of your friends, with a link to the documentary trailer. It's easier if you copy and paste this. I would apologize for spamming them, but let them know how important it is for you that this story is heard by others.
4. The most important - - - COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT on the video! This will do more for us than most other things as far as getting the video to rank as 'popular' on youtube.
Skill Level 2:
1.Log into your Youtube Account. If you don't have one, see 2.
2. Create a Youtube Account http://www.youtube.com
3. Visit the documentary youtube page.
4. Watch the documentary in full (reloading without watching hurts us. . .let it play through)
5. Rate 4 or 5 star ranking (mix it up, but heavy on the 5's, more natural profile this way)
6. Leave a comment - doesn't matter what it says - just positive stuff, or maybe argue back and forth with yourself. Nothing too nasty though.
7. Rinse and repeat.
Skill Level 3:
Radio: Listen to the radio all day - talk radio especially, and any morning drive shows. Call the studio and tell the producer about the documentary, inform him that it will be premiering at worldfest and they are trying to rank #1 on youtube, so any support would be appreciated. If you can get them to at least watch it. . . that should do the trick.
Networks: Do you know someone who's the president of the PTA? Ask them if they will email this trailer out to their members. Know someone who's a pastor at a church? Work the human 'hubs' you are already close to.
Remember! We only have 48 hours to rank #1 for the 'day'! Let's really push this!
Here are media contacts of interest. Remember to email/call them as someone who heard about the story (however, whenever you first heard about it), kinda keep the fact that you were sent by us out of the conversation ;) The media will perceive an upswell of support, then report on it, which will create an upswell of support. Perception becomes reality. :)
Things to remember in this 'pitch' are:
1. We are premiering the Documentary at WorldFest
2. Raised over $70,000 in the first couple weeks.
3. What Tim is doing today (working, paying rent, paying taxes)
4. They can see the trailer at www.PimpThisBumMovie.com
