The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) is a fan convention dedicated to the entertainment industry. The main focus is comic books, graphic novels, video games, toys, film (usually nerd oriented), and television.
Today’s Episode
On today’s episode we are talking with Jason and James Ford (better known as the WombMates) about their experience at C2E2.
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.
In this episode Jason talks about if you can fund your project on Kickstarter. It comes from a question he received from Jarett, a listener of the podcast. He recently ran an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign and wanted to know some tips on getting his comic crowd funded.
Jason covers why you should use Kickstarter, asses what it takes to reach your funding goals, how much money you will need, and lessons he has learned from his experience.
In this session of The Jason Loves Life Podcast, I go over the 8 steps to start a successful webComic. Most people think it is simply drawing and posting your art onto a website, but with these 8 steps you will have readers eagerly waiting for you to publish your first strip or page. These are the steps I took to launch The Madman of Magic WebComic and now I am very excited to share this strategy with you.
You can download the podcast to your computer or listen to it here on the blog. Additionally, I will be submitting the podcast feed to iTunes soon, so you can subscribe there as well – but I’ll let you know when it’s up and ready to go.
The focus of this episode is to talk a little bit about the goals of the webcomic, introduce myself, and what I will be covering in future episodes.
Future episodes will have a little more structure around the theme and lessons of the the show. I am also currently lining up guests to interview on the podcast as well.
If you listen to any of the future podcasts, I will have all show notes in the post related to that podcast and you can find all of them in the podcast section.
