A podcast on the business side of WebComics
In this session of The Jason Loves Life Podcast, I’m excited to have a chat with the co-founder of Checker Book Publishing Group and owner of Devil’s Due Digital,
Mark Thompson
Devil Due Digital focuses on the digital end of comic book publishing and has such famous titles as X-Files, Star Trek, Hell Raiser, Dr. Seuss, and more.
In this episode we cover:
-What is the best digital platform/store to sell digital comics.
-Should you print your comic or just sell digitally.
-Does a college degree help in the Comic Industry.
-Why Mark has his Kickstarter campaign set for 60 days instead of the 30 days Kickstarter recommends.
I wanted to share this review of my comic book by Noah Bell AKA @NoahTheGeek on Twitter.
This post is part 2, you can read part 1 here.
So, far we covered the first half of the 6 elements of a successful WebComic. The first three are: You, the Story & Art, and the Stage. For this article we will talk about Propaganda, the Audience, and Revenue.
Before we jump into these elements I wanted to take this opportunity to mention you can check out my webcomic at www.madmanofmagic.com. If you enjoy it, please share it with your friends and those who might also enjoy reading it.
Thanks!
Now back to the last 3 elements of a successful WebComic.
4: Propaganda
This is what brings an audience to your site. It is technically marketing, but I like the idea of not promoting your webcomic, but instead spreading propaganda. In my mind propaganda has more of a viral feel to it (technically it’s supposed to be on more of a political a political nature, but lets ignore that for this article).
We are finally on the last leg of the Kickstarter Campaign. We received the Comic Books from the publisher and they look great.
Leah and I will be packaging the Rewards this weekend. Your package will be shipped out by Monday. If you did not get a survey from Kickstarter asking for your address (for those that need to receive rewards via mail) please contact me through Kickstarter. I still need several backers’ addresses to ship their rewards.
We want to thank everyone for the wonderful support and your patience in getting the Rewards out. It has been a wonderful experience and an eye opener to the possibility of making this a full time career for my wife and me.
To support this we have:
- 2,800 Twitter followers
- 500 Facebook Fans
- 430 YouTube Subscriber (with 27,000 views!!!)
- And the best friends ever (we consider all of you our friends)
For those backers that are suppose to get a .pdf copy of the comic, they were sent out last week. If you are suppose to get one and you didn’t please email me. No new news on the printer and the timeline on distribution, but I will have all that figured out by Monday.
“Thank you” section
For those backers of $5, $10, and $25 or above please check the last update to make sure your name is on the list, is spelled correctly, and is how you want it to appear in the comic book.
I will need any changes and/or corrections by January 1st.
Reviewers are in on the digital comic book (.pdf version) and people are digging the comic.
Here are the reaction I have received from backers so far.
