One of the apps that I’ve experimented with for handling digital-download transactions is Gumroad. You’ve seen it discussed here often.

This is the second installment of the Hitch It / Ditch It Hot Seat — one of the most popular critique sessions we’ve had here. The concept is simple. I look at your webcomic and point out one thing that I think you’re doing very well. And then I point out something I think needs improvement. As always, the discussion is then opened up to the members at large. Links, as always, in the headers.

Don’t let anybody misinform you: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) matters, and it matters a lot.
Although it should go without explanation, here’s why: Google is the Number One Web site in the world (with an estimated 900 million unique visitors a month). Yahoo is Number 3, and Bing is Number 10.
And most of those people are on those sites for one reason and one reason alone: They’re looking for content. It boggles my mind that the same people who are yearning to extend the reach of their comic beyond the “webcomics community” can’t see the value of SEO. It is — absolutely — your ability to reach new readers. And that’s what we’re all trying to do, right?
So, SEO… if you underestimate it, you’re making a grave mistake.
To that end, I wanted to share ten tips I’ve collected to help you move towards optimizing your site’s SEO potential. They’re easy, intuitive, effective ways to improve your ability to grow your site.

This is the return of the Hitch It / Ditch It Hot seat. It’s the same format as before. I’ll talk about each participating comic and I’ll discuss one thing I think is working great and one thing that I think needs some work. Then the discussion is opened up to the group. Links to the comics being discussed are in the headers.

Q.: I am currently developing my first webcomic but I am unsure about the paper size I need to purchase for a four panel strip. I would like to alternate between a four panel and three panel strip. Also I was wondering if you hand draw every panel that you do or did you create a template for your panels?

It’s June. Comic Con International is only weeks away. Many of your readers will soon be out of school and enjoying summer. And maybe your own kids are, too. There’s a lot to get to, so let’s get cracking.

In talking about a proposed micropayment system, a member made the following remark:
If I’ve got nothing to lose and a few bucks to gain, why not?
It’s an excellent question. In fact, it’s representative a thought-process that leads many of us to make a significant number of decisions about our online businesses. Let’s face it: Most of our daily decisions are “Nothing To Lose” decisions.
It deserves a thoughtful reply. So I’m pulling the conversation out front with a Site Post because I think there’s a side-issue here that could stand some deeper exploration.

This is the last of a series of Hot Seat critiques of banner ads. These will take the same format of all of the Hot Seat critiques. I will kick off the discussion with some of my thoughts and then open the conversation up to the members.

We’ve had an excellent discussion about selling digital downloads at conventions. And member Tim Gibson shared an excellent technique for doing so in the Private Forum.
I wanted to share my experience — and especially my conversation with a musician during the convention — in hopes of furthering the discussion on the issue.
