Hey have you heard of my websitcom, LAZARUS? As the answer is probably a resounding no, this should inform you as to the extent of my knowledge on this topic. One of the main inspiration for this site was the fact that "How to Promote Your Webisode" returned zero hits on google.
I've attached some useful links to more useful documents published by people far smarter than I. At some point in the future, I plan on reviewing these in further detail.
Like all things on the site, this is a work in progress, but they links are sorted into three categories:
1. Grassroots Promotion: Youtube, Social networks, etc.
2. Monetization - Advertising, promotion, opportunities with grown up companies that pay.
3. Blog Stuff - As there's more info on promoting blogs than promoting webisodes,
GRASSROOTS PROMOTION
This is the most useful document that I've found so far.

MONETIZATION
Take a look at the web series on www.veoh.com. They're not making any money either.
BLOG STUFF
This was helpful in getting my blog listed on google - I'm not 100% sure if it works yet, but if it doesn't, the odds of anyone actually finding this page are almost nil. I do webpages at a first grade level, so congrats on being on the ground level of my learning process.

You'll need to add a sitemap, another potentially confusing element. Here's how: http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/submit-blogger-sitemap-to-google.html

Hey Matt, have you thought about submitting any of your shorts/videos to film fests? I know that they're now allowing online content like webisodes and online films to be eligible for nomination in this years Primetime Emmy's. I think last year they were allowed for the DT Emmy's, so it's pretty cool they're actually considering online amateur/indie footage for nomination this year. If you're interested or want to read more, check out www.emmys.com. I'm workin with the Academy to help spread the message about the new nominations, so if you get to check it out let me know! And spread the love =)
