Hello! Sorry for the slight neglect we've given you guys lately. Amber and I have been busy with real life.

Anyways...the second round of postcards is all about CHARACTER LOVE!

Do you watch the show for one character? Or do you want to see more of a particular character?

Well with 1 stone you can kill 2 birds....or something less corny than that ;)

By sending in these character postcards to the CW you are not only promoting the show but also promoting your favorite character(s)! So pick your favorites and send them in!

There are both black&white and colored versions so you can pick and choose according to your printing capababilities.

Once again the address is..

Ms. Dawn Ostroff
President of Entertainment, The CW
11800 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90025

Print, Stamp, SEND!!!!! As many as you want! And hey..keep track of how many you sent (you never know when that might come in handy in case we decide to do some sort of contest/competition)!

And let us know how many you sent! We'd love to hear from you =)

( Brooke.Haley.Lucas.Nathan.Peyton. )

+ US/Canada have their own because from what I could tell that's where the majority of fans were from
+ I tried to group the other countries into continents..if I was a tool and put your flag with the wrong continent I'm realllly sorry. Let me know if I screwed that up.
+ The "world" one is because some of the countries were alone, or because I got them after I had already made other postcards which is why there's a couple of Europe flags in the world one...
+ If your country isn't here it's probably because I didn't get a message saying where you were from. So if that's your case, feel free to just use the 'world' one, or to find a postcard with your countries flag and just write OTH on it or something. =)

Once again the address is..

Thanks to brokenroads we have been promoted on http://danneelharris.net, http://sophiabush.net, http://antwon.onetreehill.info & http://moira.onetreehill.info!
Thanks Becca!

I want to thank Lauren webmistress of www.lee-norris.net for supporting the OTH Season 5 Campaign by promoting it on her website! :) Thanks Lauren for the support!

Hey everyone, this is just to add off of what Jackie had said. We are coming back for full 22 episode's which is AWESOME. But as the following does say:
The CW has ordered 22 episodes with the option to reduce. Meaning if ratings are not good... the contract gives the option to cancel early or reduce the amount of episodes. But at this time OTH will have a full 22 episodes!
Now that concerns me personally. Now I know I don't want either to happen. So as we are in phase one please please remember that the ratings are going to make or break us. We are on a thin line here, so I hope everyone will on board with this. So, our promo campaign must go full throttle now.

Don't forget if you have a promo feel free to post it, and PIMP it. =)

And thank you to all the +100 members collective between this community, our facebook, and our myspace communities.

Just some things for the community.
-Would you like to be affiliates?
-Would you like to promote the community anywhere?
-Got any desgins for a postcard?
-Got a promo?

What to do?
Wanna be affiliates?
Comment to this post right here and we would be glad to be affiliates with you. Of course, we would ask that it be anything One Tree Hill realted. Meaning, any shipper, any character, any show, or any actor sites/communities.

Would you like to promote the community anywhere?
We would LOVE promotion, because obviously that is what we are gonna be doing is promoting the show. So if you would like a graphic or if you would like to make a graphic you are more than welcome to do. But if you don't want, I have one for right now. I will most likely be making more.

Got any desgins for a postcard?
We would love for you to post your designs here. Of course you would need to start a new post and if you have more than 2 please post them under a cut so we don't stretch other people's friends page. Postcard promotion will not begin till AFTER season four is over

Got a promo?
You are more than welcome to post your promo here, we welcome it. Any promo should be on Youtube, and you should provide a link also just so we can promote it anywhere. Also, say if you would like to be credited for the promo or not.

More FAQ's will most likley be added.
Again, we encourage community participation. And we can start promoting the promo's anytime. I will (hopefully) be able to post the promo when we get from the CW on Wednesday.

Don't forget to watch the FULL night of OTH on Wednesday, and don't forget New episodes return May30th.

Also, I know there is going to be time delays because of game's and things so we will also be promoting that so people will now.

Thanks everybody!

Now, I guess this my turn now, Jackie made her own promo and I have my own. (And you know comments are always welcome here. We need your feedback here and we want you to feel like you are welcome here and and we encourage you guys to get invovled too.)

So yeah I made my own promo. Now (IMHO)I think the more promo's we get out there and the more storylines that are in the promo's will bring more people in to watch the show, yeah I know people aren't taking this seriously, but we are. Soooooo if you have make/made a promo for the following episode (4.19) PLEASE post it here. And post it anywhere you can (myspace comments, lj communites, facebook groups, other message boards (ie Fanforum, Fanbolt, The CW lounge, anywhere that you think people would watch.)

Oh yeah, my promo excuse me because I haven't made a video in like 3 years. But, it gets the storyline across (I think, and I hope!) and remember to PIMP the promo save to your favorites rate it do whatever you can to ensure more people will see it on youtube.

And here's a trick...when you upload to youtube...add "american idol" to the tag line. That way when people search american idol, our stuff might pop up as well ;) And also be sure to rate your favorite OTH related things on YouTube so that they'll get more hits and thus more promotion ;)


Yeah, and please pimp our community/promo's the people invovled the more of a chance we can can actually make a difference.

I want to add on to what Amber said and WELCOME! you all. Thank you for joining.

Some preliminary information: We will be setting up this campaign in 2 or 3 sections, (probably 3). And the first one is very crucial, and one in which we really need your help and talents!

Phase1: Idol is over, OTH is still going!
Phase1 is all about promoting the last 3 episodes of season4. Between the Dan reveal, Tree Hill High graduation, and the birth of Nathan and Haley's baby, these will be can't miss episodes! Our finale is in June, which means practically no other show is running new episodes. We can really capitalize on this and get pretty good ratings since we will be competition free. BUT we will also no longer have our ANTM lead-in. And because every other show is over, we need to make sure people know OTH isn't!

So we have to PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE. LJ, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, THE WORKS!

How? Post messages, bulletins, etc, on myspace, facebook, etc. (We are thinking about possibly setting up a facebook and/or myspace page...what do you guys think? comments are appreciated and wanted...)

But if you think about it, the newest and coolest in internet media is just that...media. YOUTUBE! It's huge. And we can use it to our advantage.

Again, how? By making our own promos. Now you might think, I have no idea how to do that...well neither do I..and yet I took today and did one! It's not the greatest thing in the world, but its a form of promotion. And for those of you out there who really CAN do good videos/promos....well then get on it! This isn't a restricted thing where only us in charge are going to do things, we are ALL participating! So feel free to, and PLEASE DO, make your own promos.

Once they are made, they can be uploaded to YouTube, and then passed on through LJ, myspace, etc....

We are also happy to announce that www.nh-truelove.com has agreed to affiliate with us and help us out promoting, so that's good news! We have contacted other OTH fansites as well.

And here's a trick...when you upload to youtube...add "american idol" to the tag line. That way when people search american idol, our stuff might pop up as well ;) And also be sure to rate your favorite OTH related things on YouTube so that they'll get more hits and thus more promotion ;)

This is just a quick update for now, more is on the way. But if you want to take a look at my fake-promo you can go here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSozbTpQ3ec

or watch it right here!

Welcome to howsyourlife_5
Now, your all probably thinking what the heck is this? Well good question. This is a community for a project that myself, and babyjamesismine put together to basically start a "We love One Tree Hill" project.

Now, by now most of you have heard about One Tree Hill being picked up for a season five, but right now, we are scheduled to be coming back of Jan. 2008. Now, we don't like this at all. So instead of fighting it and making Dawn Ostroff hate us for not being grateful. We are going to promote and positivly promote One Tree Hill. We later on be doing a postcard campaign, and we are hoping that we can do a Promo campagin.

But for right now, we want promote the final four episodes, and really promote them online. We are going to making our own promo's, promo's that we the fans would know draw in viewers, and then flood them on myspace comments, LJ communities, Youtube, and hopefully OTH sites. Because, lets be honest here, the CW doesn't promote us, so what are we going to do? Promote us, like crazy to ensure that we can get our ratings up right now. FANS of the show would do this, and tell their family, friends, anybody they could to watch. If someone doesn't know what time or date it comes back, tell them.

So if you don't want to see OTH get the shaft, and you think this could actually work, please join us we would love to have you. Look out for more information here soon.

Thanks!
Amber&Jackie.
