I'm curious on how to get ppl to actually watch my amv's. I've got several, a couple of fooly cooly's, a trigun, a paranioa agent, and a gungrave trailer. They are all pretty good and the ppl that watch them like them. The trouble is why won't more ppl watch them. Am i doing something wrong or is it just that no one cares. Any suggestions would be nice.

Did you announce them in the topic AMV-announcements. This is basically the way to get the attention of ppl. The thread you present your video ought to have an original name (nothing like:"my first amv", or so) in order to seem more interresting. Furthermore you should have a constant forum presence. This ought to make ppl interrested in you and your creations. One more point. Advertise your videos in your signature.

I hope I could help you

Well, there's the opinion exchange forum, and you could always try and enter your videos into contests

I believe intimidation and fear tactics work the best. Barring that, the more peopel know of you, ie. from posting a lot and making good videos, the more interested they will be in your work. If you don't want your popularity determined by your forum presence, there's always AMV contests. Entering them in contests, moreso convention contests that the local site contests, will expose your videos to a wider audience who probably aren't as entrenched in the art of AMv making. They'll be less likely to look for buig names and more likely to just see the video. Other than that, you can just say "screw you" to everyonje and do whatever the hell you want.

I don't really have the time to spend hours on the forum everyday, so I've resigned myself to my obscurity. It's FUN!!!

Another way to get out there is come up with a unique style, or somthing that can kinda set you apart from the rest of the amv community. Fair warning be prepared to face riticule...

you gotta be da pimp of your AMVs

hahahaha, well aside from all that stuff of whoring it out across countless AMV communities (youtube, livejournal, various forums based on AMV, and the announcement thread, AMV journals.... [unless your whiteash, I dont think her journal pimping affects us journal junkies anymore], conventions, and signature links/banners, what not)

I have found that if you make a video that people enjoy or if you make something thats refreshing or new, people will end up pimping it for you, in the recomendations thread, AIM, posting it in their own AMV journals, livejournal, word of mouth, ect...

Also something to think about:

the download number is just the "minimum" number of people to have seen your video, i dont know how many countless times my sister would come in my room asking what AMVs I had downloaded, and theres always my friends that would come over and ask the same thing... so yea... heh..

well, choose a popular anime. Go to other forums and tell your friends about the killer Music Video you made. Thats all I can say. Thats all you can do really. Also get a song that is popular.. Like Linkin Park group, name your music videos under A like for ex: A day without Vegeta.. or something so It'll be in the A's (mainly on the first page on amv search engine)

It also helps if you AMVs are worth watching. Seriously, you have to hook your audience and make them want to stick around within the first 15-20 seconds of your video or you'll end up losing a lot of your crowd.

I'd suggest you to make a banner of your video and put it in your signature^^ When I see good looking banners in the signature of someone when I'm looking in the forums, I often download the videos^^
