If I put a HILARIOUS comic of my own on my website, there is a really good chance that it won't generate any traffic. Nobody reads my website and submitting it to reddit or whatever may or may not give me the eyes it needs to go viral.
- Arelius 15y agoThe same holds pretty much true if you put it up on somebody else's website that doesn't generate much traffic. I think the argument is these cartoon syndicates don't have much traffic.
- ig1 15y agoAs pretty much a nobody with zero artistic talent I managed to create a web-comic as a side project which in it's first year of existence managed to get over 250k+ unique visitors and almost 1000 Facebook fans. It's not that hard.
- EwanG 15y agoBlog post somewhere that shares the tale? I've had a little side project that I did a few strips for but then never posted because I figured I'd have to be willing to dedicate way more time than it would be worth to build an audience. Sounds like you may have "cracked the nut"?
- kposehn 15y agoThe nut is pretty simple: 1. Always update on time, every time. Never miss a beat if at all possible by making comics ahead of time and posting them in advance with a delay. 2. Write & draw what you love, whether it is video games (PA, PVP, etc), sex jokes (leasticoulddo), anime (megatokyo), music & life (questionable content), nerdy awesomeness (xkcd)...you get the idea. 3. Connect with your fans by blogging as much as you post strips. Let them feel a part of the creative process and help them get to know you. 4. Profit.
