Okay. Perhaps the hardest part of the trade is marketing. Who cares if you make a film that nobody goes to see? Now, other than the obvious "get it bought by a distribution company," and "get it into a major film festival," what are the best ways that indie filmmakers, students especially, can market their films and start making some dough on them?
 
A website is always a great start, but then you have to make the public aware and interested in the site too. Hosting shorts or trailers for features and any multimedia are essential.

Have you thought about on-demand DVD distribution? -- a great service that many of my clients use to start getting their film out there.
