The fact is that the general public (after family and friends), will not go to your private website, therefore they will not buy your film. Are you famous? Why would they go to your website? In reality, you need to have someone else sell your film...if they can. You need to first have your film accepted by a professional website/distributor such as TUBI-TV, PLUTO, AMAZON or whatever, (who will promote your film for you), and then you can link to them on your private website for sales purposes. Their catalog will put your film in front of thousands of potential customers worldwide. (Which your private website can never do). With a professional distributor, if people like your film, they will download it, and the streaming service will handle all of the download mechanics and give you an honest accounting. We have been doing this for a long time, and would recommend FILMHUB as a good alternative to trying to distribute the film yourself. Our own website has gone nowhere...
