My last post on my Niche Site experience was almost 3 months ago. A lot has happened since then not relating to the Niche Site.

As many of you know, my wife gave birth to our first child and my wife, we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and printed our first comic book.

In other words, we have been insanely busy.

This is why I hope to master niche sites. The opportunity to work on my art and spend time with my family with out worrying about money would be a dream come true. That is why I am trying to make this work and build a passive income portfolio.

Quick Lesson

Make sure you know why you want to make passive income through Niche Sites. It makes the long hours and lonely nights more bearable.

Thank You to

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)

This is my application for the thinktraffic.net Mentorship program.

I hope you enjoy my video.

This video talks about why I would love an opportunity for the Mentorship for a Year with ThinkTraffic.net.

It would be an amazing opportunity to spread the word about my comic books and teach others how to make a living with their comic book projects.

UPDATE:

I was not chosen for the mentorship!
I think it is because I am not selling an information product and that is what companies like “ThinkTraffic” specialize in.

The Main CharactersI found Kings of Overgrove through twitter (@KingsOvergrove) while looking for other independent comic book creators.  Kings of Overgrove caught my attention because the creator is giving away half his graphic novel for free.  He also created a motion comic he published on YouTube.

The Website

http://kingsofovergrove.com/

What I love

From the first look at the website, we can tell that Kings of Overgrove is special.  The site has a great design that reflects the story, is easy to navigate, promotes the viewer to share the site, and allows for comments.  You can’t ask for anything more from a website.  It looks great and it does its job!

For those of you who read this blog for my articles on Internet Marketing for Artists or are starting your own online comic book, you can probably learn a lot from this site.  If you’re putting together your online portfolio, promoting your project, or publishing an online series this is a great website to explore before creating your own.

Reading the Comic

Last call for the “Thank You” section.

Please check the image for your name if you are supposed to be in the “Thank You” section.

You need to email me by Monday (Jan 7, 2012) if your name is not on here or if you want your name to appear as something else.

Thank you Section
Thanks,

Jason Love

PS I am meeting with a printer Monday to see if they are able to provide the physical copies of the comic book.  I want to ensure that they are high quality so I figure going and visiting them is the best way to ensure this.  Expect an update next week on a printing schedule.
