Well I applied to Project Wonderful and I’m waiting for approval from them. I don’t know much about those list/ranking sites but I saw some names of those on your site. I’ll have to check them out. Also I applied to Scribol before my site launched and they rejected me (not enough content), I’ll try them again as well.
I’ve found that the best way to get regular readers is to regularly visit & comment on other comics/blogs. Some won’t return the visit but many do. I stumbled across a great group of webcomic artists that are great support. I visit theirs, they visit mine & so it continues. I started as a raw amateur a couple of years ago & have learn’t so much from all these wonderful people.
I have also come across a lot of webcomics that rarely have any comments. I’ve left comments but then never heard from them even after a week or two of visiting & commenting on their sites. If people aren’t prepared to make the effort then no one else will bother with them either. Too many people seem to think it’s just a case of post a comic & the visitors will pour in. It’s the effort you put in to being involved with others that makes the difference. I’ve tried the various webcomic catalogue type sites with limited response. Nothing has ever been better than visiting other’s sites.
Thanks for the advice Tony! Yeah at times I feel like a flea in a forest! *L* Yes there are some great people in Webcomics and they have been great helping and giving advice to a newbie like myself.
I’ve been lucky to have a great start with my comic in that I’m an art teacher and told my students to go to my site and comment. Hee! Hee! Hee! Captive audience! So I immediately got many comments and traffic.
Also, Tony and Mark Stokes were the first webcomic artists, if I remember correctly, to comment on my site. And ever since then, we visit each others’ sites for laughs, fun and encouragement. It’s through this support system that has enabled me to continue with my comic through tough times.
We learn about each other and I feel become friends… OK now, ♪ ♫ ♪ Kumbaya me Lord, Kumbaya! ♪ ♫ ♪
I really love your page layouts and design. I mean I love the whole thing lol but this page really caught my eye!
Thanks Kevin, high praise indeed! There’s 20 more ‘pages’ to this story, I hope you like those as well!! I gotta get cracking on issue #2…
Any pointers on getting my comic ‘out there’ would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!
Have you looked in Project wonderful or any of the webcomic list and ranking sites?
