5. KEEP YOUR STORY FOCUSED.
I recommend starting with an
ending and then working your way
to that point. It’s all about direction. Epics are fine when they have
a focus to reach. Side stories are fine
as well, but be careful that you do
not lose focus. Webcomics that lose
focus, lose readers (more on story
creation in another post).
6. WHY PAY SITES DON’T WORK AND
THE POWER OF THE HARD COPY (for
the reader).
By posting our webcomics online
for free, it allows a fan base to build.
People from all over the world can
enjoy your stuff... and yes. they get
it for free. So where is the money
aspect of it? If you use a site that
charges admission for your work,
it drives fans away and you end
up making very little and risk a
much smaller fan base (I have a few
friends who are very talented and
ran into this trap). I say, utilize the
hard copy. Small print run, keep it
clean and professional, and sell it
online and at conventions. If your
fans love your story, they will love
the hard copy even more.
