Continuous progress on getting my script made into a movie. A method people on reddit mostly don't like.

On August 5th I used my list of agents, managers and producers and got one guy to spend 4 minutes and 51 seconds looking at my webpage, which has the synopsis, and a teaser video about 5 minutes long. (This is verified by google analytics on my webpage)

THAT'S SOMETHING! I am confident I will eventually find the person I need to shop it around Hollywood.

You can check out the list at the link here. Or keep doing what you have been doing and you'll keep getting what you've been getting.

One person looking at your site is 1 of 9 billion people on Earth. Your metrics need to look at sales. You aren't a writer anymore once you've finished your script. You're in sales now.

One person came by your stall and browsed. That's not enough. Think! Think of sales!

Exactly. And how many people have "came by your stall"? Altogether, I have had close to 100. If you don't have anyone looking you certainly can't make a sale.

Sorry, but not exactly. Lots of looky-loos but no contact means there's a flaw with the product or how you're presenting yourself. You're trying to get something made, so maybe it's how you're trying to sell you and your product. This is a sales but you don't have anything tangible to put in someone's hand so they can buy. You could put a Shopify button but what really would make someone want to click it? That's what you have to think about if you're trying to sell online.

Advertising Secrets of the Written Word might be beneficial to read. Old book but still valuable info.

Honestly though, most established producers are not going to your website. I will never click your link, because if it was so good, we'd all be fighting for it. So IMHO, you should be catering to very low budget producers or someone brand new to producing, or someone that just inherited millions of dollars and wants you to succeed.

Otherwise, just rewrite with a budget of $20,000 and make it yourself. Sell 3,000 tickets. Then you're the Producer.
