Give one of your wrestlers a gimmick where they talk about frolf (golf with a frisbee) and riding their bike all the time.

Sign the homeless hobo goon from GBS, stick a fedora, Zorro mask and Rush T shirt on him, give him a catchphrase about ethics in game journalism. Sign a random 500 lb activist woman in Seattle, dye her hair purple and have her not shave for a month. Boom, your main event feud is now S.J. Jewel vs. The Gamergater.

I know a bunch of people are throwing ridiculous ideas at you, but I'm going to suggest nothing ultra silly like gimmick changes. Your concern right now is getting the brand out there and getting video. So here's some of my ideas, you can take them or go for what sounds like JCW. First, make sure your indie is on every social media magnet. Then you have to brand yourself as "anti-smark", the audience that "gives the audience what they want" but in a twisted metal switcheroo. You're not comedic... But there is comedy. You make sure every "episode" is a ridiculous theme "hot dog night" "night of champion" (but it's the same championship match over and over) whatever you get requested, that's the lame idea that happens. As for the camera. Get the hard cam, but also give fans in the audience a camera as well to help. The wcw fan cam! Splicing them with post-commentary. If you want to show the finishers, just have them perform them on each other in clips and record those before an event. It's tough to get the money, but you'll see it eventually, once you figure out the marketing and brand you're selling. My suggestion is "listen to the audience and mess with it" (PUBLIC DOMAIN MUSIC NIGHT where the entrances have to be public domain songs) You've invented the indie wrestling version of the Chris Gethard show. (And if you want an awful gimmick match - remix the 49ers match and have the belt in one of 12 gift wrapped boxes... rather or not you put the actual belt in it is up to you)

Give promos in the ring about taking a fed with 30 person audiences to a 8k/mo revenue stream in a year. When it doesn't happen, make yourself the world champion because you are a great ideas man and have your opponent be a dude who cuts promos about how you are stupid and you should just print and distribute a zillion flyers. Call him The Flyerman and have him do crazier and crazier things every week, like dump a garbage can full of flyers on you, or stand outside a popular shopping area and distribute flyers for the wrestling show. Reality era.

To be fair, I think he was including tickets and all other forms of revenue in the 8k/mo. That's still way out there, but not nearly as much as what you think he said. That said, I would expect the vast, vast, vast majority of your revenue to come from ticket sales (and whatever carny tricks you have up your sleeve like charging $5 or whatever to have a picture taken with THE CHAMP after the show). Anything you do that is without the purpose of selling tickets is probably an iffy idea.

Can you do something for me real quck? Just, super quick here, SHUT YOUR loving IDIOT MOUTH. OK, great. thanks. Since it's painfully clear that you can't read, or don't want to, or whatever let me go ahead and just chunk out a quick number here: 7 That's how many years DOA has been operating without me in it. And, by this ignorant rear end statement that I have to address because you clearly have some kind of learning deficiency, I'm going to guess that you assume that in the entire 7 years of operation they've never once put up flyers?! They do, They do alot. And this is all they have to show for it in almost a decade: 1500FB likes and average big show attendance of around: 200. SO CLEARLY THE FLYERS DON'T loving WORK THAT WELL DO THEY?!?!?!?! BECAUSE IF THEY DID THERE WOULD BE DEMONSTRABLE GROWTH OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME INSTEAD OF YEAR AFTER YEAR OF FISCAL LOSS YOU SIMPLETON?! The reason I'm focusing on online tickets sales, patreon, making sure wrestlers have a finisher, all the other poo poo you dick wads have been mocking me for is thus: A) When someone learns of the product, its really really easy for the customer to give us money/reserve seats/buy things. It's 2015 for gently caress's sake, you shouldn't be operating a cash-only business anymore. B) All these things are SUPER easy to set up. it's like 5-10 mins of work tops. Why not do it? C) These things are SUPER Cheap for us to do. If I look at how much I may stand to make from all online fans that can't make it to shows (because they live far away) through Patreon Vs. How many people putting up 1 flyer at 1 bar brings in it seems like a more profitable endeavor to sacrifice 1 flyer to set up a patreon, also since I have to pay for the flyer print + transportation to get to the bar it's even more a cost effective endeavor. D) Again, frameworks for growth. Set these things in motion now, so I can capitalize easier as new customers become aware of the product.

Trollologist posted:My goal is to get to company to generate around $8000/mo in online merch/ticket sales, debit card transactions, patreon? dollars, and commission from sales of merch that wrestlers own themselves. Then, at least for me, it's a job. But realistically that's about a year out. That, that LONG rear end list there, that is EVERY CHANNEL FOR REVENUE THAT I GET A CUT OF. THAT IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO TURN INTO $8k/mo. Not just "merch sales" Thanks for taking the time to do proper research before you shoot off your stupid opinions. I mean, I'm not even digging up an old rear end post, I wrote that today. like, it's on the same page.

Stop using special words (mark/smark, face/heel, work/shoot) so that you and people "in the know" get to wink and nudge and feel like a member of the kool kids klub. Bending the 4th wall and dragging real life issues into a show so that you can say "no, for real, we're really real, really you guys it's not fake it's real" just makes you look stupid because you're not fooling anyone. Wrestling needs to grow the gently caress up. I mean it's 2015 and WWE is still trotting out Stone Cold and The Rock because in 14 years they haven't made anyone that can penetrate the market beyond wrestling fans. Hell, you guys are STILL watching Nitro, because wrestling as an industry hasn't had a good idea since '96. I just want to focus on strong characters with concise motivations telling stories that actually payoff in a logical manner. And promote a show using sound business tactics.

Then make sure your show is billed as wrestling, but is far from it. Take cues from kaiju big battel and make it weird and crazy, because it is a Portland audience. Don't put flyers unless it's just a qr code to your site, or maybe mix it up and have the panera bread menu as well.

I think a good wrestling gimmick would be a guy who hates flyers. You could start "feuds" (wrestling term that insiders use) where another wrestler wants him to put up flyers for stuff and he gets really mad about it. Then the two wrestlers could have a big match to decide whether flyers are good or bad.
