Tim Ferris on Product Launch

The Madman of Magic Comic book is scheduled to launch January 1, 2013.  That is 21 days away.  With all the excitement of finding a new printer, preparing kickstarter rewards, etc; I have had little time to plan the actual marketing for the launch.

With such little time, I will be limiting my marketing efforts on this launch and instead schedule in time for the second comic book launch.

This video gives some great resources and practical tips for planning and learning about the best way to get free publicity and how to properly utilize your paid strategies.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.

Digital Image Comics Submissions

I sent a message to Image Comics submissions asking what format is best for them.  This is the response I got:

Thank you for submitting to Image Comics. Due to the extraordinary number of submissions we receive, it is impossible for us to respond to each and every one. We do look at every submission, but in the interest of time, we can only respond to those submissions we are actually considering for publication.

Thanks,

Image Comics

The thing that bothers me is if they can’t take 20 seconds to answer my simple one sentence question how do I know they are going to actually look at my comic book proposal.  I would hate to waste two days putting together a perfect proposal in return not having them read it.  Are image comics submissions looked at?

I better get working on that proposal.
