Cat Wine

I was watching Shark Tank the other day, and an entrepreneur was looking to get a deal for his cat wine products.

Cat wine, people. Cat wine.

The cat wine had names such as Pinot Meow, Moscato, White Kittendel, Meowmosa, Catbernet, Meowgarita... you get the idea. (The product didn't contain any actual alcohol, just stuff like cat nip and beets.)

He went into the shark tank after selling this stuff for only 3 months, and he had already made $192,000 in sales.

$192,000 in sales, people. $192,000. For cat wine.

So, this got me to thinking...

If this guy can sell $192,000 in cat wine in three months, surely I can sell, oh, I don't know, let's say $500 a month for my movie every month. That can't be too hard, right? People are always getting pregnant and having babies, so there will always be new people in the market to see this movie.

Currently, I am averaging around $100/month in profits for my movie. (People stream it through Amazon.com for $2.99. Amazon takes a 50% cut, I get the rest. That's an average of 66 people streaming the movie each month.)

So, for the next several months, I'm going to actively work on marketing my movie more. This is something I should have done a long time ago, but never felt like doing. But, I feel like doing it now because, well, because of the cat wine. My marketing campaign will basically involve doing stuff on Pinterest (I know, Pinterest, right? Marketing on Pinterest is a thing, I guess) and writing guest blog posts on blogs much more popular than this one. That's the plan. That's where I'm going to start.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Seriously, cat wine. I don't understand the world.

(He ended up making a deal too: $100,000 for 20% of his company to Kevin.)
