Stuck at #21--there are worse problems to have...

Still at #21 on the Horror list, so I checked the mystery list which is actually even bigger than horror. Didn't expect much, but look at that! We're #86 out of over 1300 movies.

But, uh, look at the numbers today.

Almost 450,000. And what I thought DOES appear to be true; the more popular your movie, the more popular your movie gets. How long that stays, who knows? Enjoying it for now.

BUT!

Big surprise here for you. I actually put ANOTHER of my movies on Amazon Prime at the same time as GOH and ran a sort of blind test to see the difference between a movie I pushed versus one I didn't.

So feel free to click here and add "Bounty" to your watch list.

Surprisingly Bounty hasn't gotten zero views. I'm not sure how people have found it, but it's at nearly 20,000 minutes viewed. Far off from GOH, but still not as low as I would have expected.

Now, it doesn't have the boobs on the poster like GOH, so I don't expect those numbers. But I think it's a pretty entertaining movie(he said humbly) and seems to be a favorite among a lot of my younger "fans". Younger being under 30. 

Man I'm old.

Anyway, more later!

Garden of Hedon Update - #21 and hopefully climbing...

Look at that--it seems only fitting that I'm now on the same screen with Chance Shirley's Hide and Creep, since he's the one that got me to commit to putting GOH up there.

We're now 305 on the Popular Movies List, out of about 9900 movies.

And more importantly...brace yourself...

Can you see that? Over a quarter MILLION minutes streamed now. In only about 2 weeks time.

I'm pretty stoked about this.

Garden of Hedon: #22 on the Amazon Prime Horror Movie List!

Not gonna lie. Pretty excited. I wasn't sure we were going to break top 100, much less top 25.

We're #374 on the Popular list(now with 9,111 movies total), and on page 3 of Amazon's actual web site under horror movies. It's all data, data, data to feed into my spreadsheet...

It's early, but so far the experiment certainly seems to be a success. Big thanks to Chance Shirley for pointing out that the $.15 per hour could actually add up to something more than $5.

We're currently at 134,000 or so minutes.

Saturday Update

IMG REMOVED
The numbers are starting to really increase. We jumped up to #68 on the list, where we were #98 the previous day. We're also on page 10 of Amazon's horror list on their web site, up from page 20.

So, so far so good.

UPDATE

Here's why it's getting exciting:

Stats Problem

You may wonder why I haven't posted anything today. Well, stats have frozen for the past two days on the dashboard.

I emailed Amazon who told me this:
We recently discovered a technical error that is delaying reporting on your Amazon Video Direct dashboard. We’re working on correcting the error, and it will not affect your payments. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

 So, will be interesting when it comes back on. Because we've moved into the top 100(#92 to be exact) on Amazon Prime's movie list.

Top 50, here we come(hopefully).

But I talked to my buddy who said he's totally cool putting his name and movie here. So you can go check it out--he's Chance Shirley and the flick is Hide And Creep. It's easy to find, it's always in the top 20 movies on Amazon Prime horror now!

You can follow him on Twitter at this handle: @crewless

Go give him a view, and he'll probably keep us updated on his flick's progress! 

Thursday Stats

IMG REMOVED
Yeah, now we're getting somewhere.

When I first checked in the afternoon it said 19,000 or so. But you gotta see that it's not like we did 12K views in one day--a lot of this is through the revising of previous days. To see what I mean, here's the 19K chart and the 9K chart put together.

IMG REMOVED

As you can see, some of those numbers have been added to quite substantially.

Our ranking on the Xbox One Amazon app was at 310 yesterday at first check, now we're at 190. Promising. Just have to keep going up.

We were on Amazon's Horror movies at page 35 yesterday. Today we're at 21. So moving up there too.

I have tried something interesting to get people to check out the movie, and I'm not sure whether it's working or not. It involves this web page I put together in about five minutes:
http://kangaskahnfilms.com/goh-am.htm

If it seems like something that helped I'll throw what I did out here at some point. (no, it wasn't just me creating a ghetto page in notepad)

Google let me know that this web site mentioned Garden of Hedon:
http://amzprime.maft.uk/info/B01I2672SG/s

That might help our UK numbers. Not exactly sure if something like that exists for the US--I know there are Netflix lists like this, so it would make sense for someone to do it. Just not aware of it yet if it's a thing.

Wednesday Stats Get Interesting

IMG REMOVED

9000 Minutes

As you can see, the stats get put up at a weird rate, and as I said, aren't final for a couple of days.

A few things to note--technically these are yesterday's stats. Wait until you see today's actual stats. Something weird's going on--not sure what it is--but I like it.

And GOH doesn't seem to be moving up any list--it's still 310 AND 311. Yes, for some reason, it's showing up as a double on the list. It's not the only movie, so apparently there's some glitch in the system right now.

Also--remember when I put GOH up, there were 880 horror flicks on there? Now there's 904. That number's only going to increase. So more than ever, remember how important I said your one-sheet was in that web post way back? It's never been MORE important.

In case you never read it, here it is:
