Producers FAQ

I am a producer of a cool online genre show. What services can Zombie Orpheus Entertainment (ZOE) provide?

Use the tools that we're building for our own shows. Pick and choose what works for you, or what fills a hole in your available resources, and ignore anything that you don't need. Everything is available at no charge, aside from third-party fees and shared bookkeeping fees where relevant. If your work is a good match for what we're producing and promoting, let's talk!

  1. Cross-network Promotion: Put your work in front of the entire network's audience.
  2. Fan Supported Branding: Licensed under a broad Creative Commons agreement, use the Fan Supported/Creator Distributed logo to encourage fan participation in keeping your show going.
  3. Replication Discounts: Take advantage of the discounts we get on disc replication. We don't charge anything for access to our prices—the more people who use our provider, the lower everyone's costs go.
  4. Fulfillment: In partnership with the Touring Music Collective, we operate a low-overhead Amazon Fulfillment account. Warehouse and ship your products at one of the lowest costs available in the industry—and with no hassle on your end—with no additional cost to you except a fair percentage of bookkeeping fees. (Use in combination with our Replication Discounts to ship directly from the factory to the warehouse.)
  5. Online Storefront (available soon): List your products in our online store. Cross-list with fandom favorites like Dorkness Rising and JourneyQuest. Orders are automatically shipped via Amazon Fulfillment. Pay no fees beyond credit card processing and a fair share of bookkeeping. Designed to operate with as little overhead as possible, so that all proceeds can go straight into supporting your production. It's self-distribution with the advantages of group discounts, so we all lower our costs.
  6. List at ZombieOrpheus.com: Embed and manage your own content, skin your own page, and moderate your own forums, but with one login for multiple shows and easier cross-discovery, all while retaining total control over your IP. Allow fans to post fan art and remixes, use a sophisticated tagging and RSS system to promote your cast, content, and episodes.
  7. Paywall Support: Create a paid access Supporters group for your show at zombieorpheus.com. Provide bonus material to members. Upload, moderate, and design your private pages to fit your needs. Includes private forums. The only costs are paypal fees and shared bookkeeping (to ensure accurate disbursements).
  8. Custom Embeddable Widget (in development): Use our code base to create a skinnable, embeddable widget for your website (and for your fans to share) with up-to-the-minute content from activity streams that you select. Show the latest members of your ZOE fan group, latest forum activity, pop-up videos, a fundraising thermometer, links to your products, and more, all skinned to look and feel like part of your website. When you're not releasing new content, add a Network Videos tab to your widget to cross-promote other participating producers, so that there's always something new for your audience to see.
  9. HD/Blu-ray Digital Downloads (coming soon): Offer high quality digital downloads at extremely low cost, with minimal overhead. Currently in development.
