One more lesson learned from my first Kickstarter.
Once The Webcomics Handbook was finished, I was faced with the perplexing problem of how to deliver 1,016 different download codes to the same number of backers. Sending individual e-mails was out of the question. Using Dropbox was an option, but since I was going to begin selling this book digitally, I wanted to keep everything in one place. I was also concerned about the ability to distribute updates to the book as the need arose.
So I chose Gumroad. They kindly agreed to create 1,016 download codes for me, but I still had to figure out how to get those e-mailed to all of my backers.

Indiegogo is one of the top crowd sourcing entities used by webcartoonists. (The top is undoubtedly Kickstarter.) But I’ve never been able to fully endorse Indiegogo because of their policy of releasing all of the pledged money — even if the campaign failed to reach its goal.

I was exhibiting in Artist’s Alley at Baltimore Comic Con this weekend. Sometime Sunday afternoon, my neighbor, a novelist who was working one of his first comic conventions, suddenly made the realization that his money bag — containing his entire revenue for the weekend, had been stolen. He had set the bag on the table as he was making change for a customer, and, after trying to make change for the next customer, realized that the bag had been lifted.
We tend to get so caught-up in the camaraderie and fellowship of a comic convention that we tend to forget that there are always a few bad apples in every bunch.

For this round of Hot Seat critiques, I wanted to focus on social media. I attribute a huge portion of the success I had with my recent Kickstarter on the effect of social media. It’s how information gets passed around, and I think it’s worth spending a little time discussing.
So here’s the three criteria I focused on:

Tomorrow is the first day of September, and the kids are headed back to school. Which is great is you’re a webcartoonist, because that means they’re returning to reading webcomics from school.

Philip M. “Frumph” Hofer announced yesterday that he will soon release ComicPress 4.0 — the first update to the widely used webcomic CMS in years.
But there’s something you have to know upfront: Upgrading to 4.0 is going to mean making some significant changes to your site. If you update the theme without making these changes, your ComicPress site will cease to function properly.

For about a year and a half I allowed my customers to pay online with only Paypal. My reasoning was that it wouldn’t be that big of a deal for someone to click on the Paypal button and pay that way, even if they didn’t have a PayPal account. But, I heard from people every week asking if there was a way to pay with credit card. Eventually, I started allowing my customers that option and there is no way I am turning back.

This has been making the rounds, and I liked it so much, I wanted to share it here. It is based on a graduation speech that Bill Watterson delivered to his alma mater, Keynon College in 1990. Gavin Aung Than transformed into a comic drawn in a style very close to Watterson’s own.
